Today, I reviewed/unboxed my March Birchbox! Wooh!
Clicky Here if you would prefer to watch my review vs read it on here. (It's okay if you do, watching tends to be more fun)
This was the first time I uploaded one of my videos to YouTube, so make sure to like and subscribe to my channel! I would super appreciate it! :)
Also, make sure to read to the bottom, that's where I list the link that will give you half off your first box ;)
Anyways... on to information pertaining to Birchbox!
This is their steps listed on their website (It's pretty simple and most subscriptions follow these guidelines):
Here are the plans that Birchbox offers:
It's quite amusing that they don't even give you that great of deal for buying ahead of time. I supposed getting a free month with the 6 month subscription is good.. but, not FAAANTASTIC.
ON TO THE MARCH BOXXXX:
SO, this is the box that I received for March. I want to start off by saying this box is actually super cute. It's very "spring"-esk and adorable - totally reusable.
Birchbox tends to send you super cute boxes that you can use in your home or on display. Here are the boxes that I have received from Birchbox so far:
March is by far my favorite design out of the three boxes that I have received. ALRIGHT. Let's start off by reviewing what I received in the March box and work my way backwards, deal? Deal.
MARCH
These are the products that I had received in my March box (of course, in sample size).
Retails at: $48.00

"The idea of a peel might sound intimidating (especially if your skin gets easily
irritated), but it’s an effective way to restore your complexion’s natural glow. This
customer-favorite formula is acid-free, so it gently exfoliates and evens out tone and
texture—all in just three minutes—without aggravating sensitive skin types. The
unique gel uses pH-neutral proteins that bind to dead skin cells to form actual solids
you can see. Rinse away to reveal a fresh complexion that’s softer, brighter, and
more radiant."
How To Use
Once a week, apply a thin layer of product to clean, dry skin on face, neck, and
chest. Then massage in a gentle, circular motion to exfoliate. Wash with a mild
cleanser to completely remove the peel. Test product on the back of your hand or
neck before use.
Ingredients
Water, Glycerin, Polyoxyethylene Glyceryl Ether, Alkyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride
Carbomer, Diazolidinyl Ureaiodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Peg-40, Disodium EDTA,
Hyaluronic Acid
***** Is it "Worth it"?:
In my opinion, No. It's totally worth having the sample size, but the hefty price tag of $48 for this full-sized product is more than my pockets would be willing to let me spend. However, if you happen to have a disposable income, then sure, spend that $$$. (Or donate to this poor blogger.. ;) )
Retail Price: $25.00

"Formerly amika Un.Done Texture Spray. Same formula you love with a new name and
look! When we try for tousled, voluminous hair, we tend to look more tornado-tossed
than windblown—or, just as bad, our strands stay stubbornly limp and flat. This
styling spray from amika gives us loads of sexily messy, artfully effortless volume. And
its so easy to use, we get just the right done-yet-undone look—without overdoing it—
every time. This spray uses zeolite, a naturally occurring mineral, to build up volume.
A mix of obliphica extract (sea buckthorn berry), which helps strengthen hair and
boost shine, and an exclusive polymer blend help the formula bind to hair and add
texture without making strands stiff, crunchy, or heavy."
How To Use
Shake can and spray formula wherever hair could use a volume and texture boost,
then style as desired.
Ingredients
Hydrofluorocarbon 152A, Butane, SD Alcohol 40-B, Disiloxane, VP/VA Copolymer,
Oryza Sativa (Rice) Starch,Zeolite, Glycerin, Triethyl Citrate, PEG/PPG-18/18
Dimethicone, Fragrance, Hippophae Rhamnoides Extract, Water
***** Is it "Worth it"?:
In my opinion, maaaaybe. It's basically a $25 dry shampoo. Dry shampoo is already
stupid expensive for an aerosol can that holds practically nothing. SO, I do recommend
this for the fact that it doesn't seem to leave a white residue when using it. However, it
smells like cheap toilet spray.

"This balm is a favorite among celebrity makeup artists and dermatologists because
the 100% natural formula completely rehydrates depleted skin and lips. Bonus: You
can also use it to soothe sunburn, tame brows, and nourish thirsty skin anywhere on
your body. It’s tasteless, odorless, and effortlessly powerful."
How To Use
Apply to dry lips and other areas of the skin as needed.
Ingredients
100% Natural Medical Grade Lanolin
***** Is it "Worth it"?:
In my opinion, no. It's literally an expensive version of "petroleum jelly" - "vaseline".
Honest waste of money. It literally has no smell and honestly, overrated. I apologize to
the brand, but this is definitely not worth your $$$.

"A major upgrade from your childhood detangler, this luxurious formula not only
smooths your knots and tangles, but it also acts as a frizz tamer, shine enhancer, and
heat protectant. The jelly consistency sprays on like a mist so it won't weigh down
your locks, and with the help of an amino acid blend, hydrolyzed proteins, panthenol,
and vitamin E, it'll be the only styling product you need to apply in the morning. Plus,
with an amazing scent featuring notes of Italian lemon, amber, blackberry, and violet,
you'll be able to skip spritzing your perfume too."
How To Use
Mist lightly through damp hair prior to heat styling.

Ionone, Limonene, Geraniol, Hydroxycitronellal, Linalool, Citronellol, Cinnamyl Alcohol,
Parfum (Fragrance)
***** Is it "Worth it"?:
In my opinion, yes and no. I am biased because I already have a favorite leave in conditioner. To me, this one is too thick when it comes out and it isn't as misty as my favorite brand. Think semen. That's exactly the texture that is sprayed on. I have yet to try it on wet / damp hair - it would probably be great and less semen like then! However, I rarely wash my hair - because I wear extensions.... and I prefer a product that works well with dry hair as well as wet.

"Offering shine, a dash of shimmer, and a delicious scent, there's a reason why they
call this gloss Glazed Lips Donut. Beyond its lacquer-like finish that never feels sticky,
it also provides semisheer pigment and hydration with a coconut- and jojoba-rich
formula. Just a swipe is all you need for a flattering hint of color that accentuates the
natural look of your pout. It can even be worn as a top coat over your lipstick to add
some sheen, instantly transforming the shade."
How To Use
Apply directly to lips. Can be worn alone or over an existing lipstick shade.
Ingredients
Tridecyl Trimellitate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Octyldodecanol, Diisostearyl Malate,
Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Silica, Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene Copolymer, Silica
Dimethyl Silylate, Hydrogenated Coconut Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil,
CI 15850 (Red 6 Lake), CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide), CI 77742 (Manganese Violet)
***** Is it "Worth it"?:
In my opinion, depends. I feel like you can buy a product almost identical as this one,
for a cheaper price. I received the coffee glaze "flavour" and it smelled more like
butterscotch to me. I am not a huge fan of glosses... but, if you are, then maybe you
should check out this product. I would describe it as a matte gloss. It's not super
glossy, yet not matte.
FEBRUARY
These are the products that I had received in my February box (of course, in sample size).

"This next-generation CC cream takes corrective coverage to a whole new level.
Lightweight and easy to blend, the fragrance-free formula acts as both a primer and a
foundation. It smooths fine lines and uneven skin, plus it provides SPF protection
against UVA, UVB, and infrared-A rays. Light-diffusing mica minerals soften the
appearance of pores and wrinkles for a fresh, flawless complexion. What's more, this
all-in-one velvety cream comes in a range of self-adjusting shades to suit a variety of
skin tones."
How To Use
Apply to clean, dry skin and blend well into face and neck using fingertips. Layer on for
extra coverage where needed.

***** Is it "Worth it"?:
In my opinion, yes. I absolutely adore this CC cream. It's not too heavy and has just
enough coverage for my skin. I actually am going to purchase a full-sized bottle of this.
If you need heavy coverage, I would recommend an actual foundation, and not just a
CC cream.

"This creamy mascara not only creates lashes that look great from all angles—the
wand works from all angles, too. Thanks to the innovative triple-ball applicator brush,
you can easily lengthen, define, and separate each and every lash. You’ll get curler-
free lift, extra thickness, and deep black color, all courtesy of the unique ubame oak
charcoal and sapphire dust formula."
How To Use
Sweep brush through lashes from root to tip. Use the tip of the brush to separate fine
lashes and add extra thickness.

Acid/Glycerin Crosspolymer, Dextran, Acetyl Hexapeptide-1. May Contain: Black 2, Iron
Oxides, Ultramarines.
***** Is it "Worth it"?:
In my opinion, no. This does an okay job, but comes at a hefty pricetag for such
mediocre service. I prefer my "Better than sex" to this mascara. I would compare this
mascara to $5 drugstore mascara.

"This multibenefit spray is enriched with not one, not two, but three all-star oils—
argan, rosehip and coconut—to restore hair’s strength, softness and shine. Free of
parabens, silicones, and synthetic dyes, this formula hydrates each strand while
enhancing hair’s resilience. And just to prove it’s really worthy of being our hair care

***** Is it "Worth it"?:
In my opinion, ONE MILLION TIMES - YEEEESSS. This is hands down my favorite leave in spray conditioner. So much that I have actually purchased a full-sized bottle of this. It doesn't leave a nasty residue in my hair, and smells amazing. I highly recommend this product.

"Constantly being followed around by a lighting crew to mimic the perfect strobe
effect isn't ideal—a girl can dream, though, right? This skincare-meets-makeup cream
helps tired and dull skin look more luminous and achieve that coveted glow—no
heavy equipment required. In fact, the vitamin-, green tea-, and botanical-enriched
formula is so lightweight that it blends like a dream to give skin a subtle lit-from-
within radiance. The Silverite shade gives lighter skin tones a silver sheen while
Pinklite reflects a pink sheen on light to medium-dark skin tones. When worn under
makeup, it creates a base for all the products layered on afterward. On days when
you're feeling a little bit more low-maintenance, it can double as your moisturizer or
you can layer over your favorite one for a soft luminescence."
How To Use
Apply to skin with fingertips or a brush and blend.

***** Is it "Worth it"?:
In my opinion, if you have the money to spend. It works very well, it's just pretty high
up in price - more than I'm willing to spend on a highlight.

"Just as Avène has tapped into the Sainte-Odile spring, they’ve also tapped into a
wealth of knowledge about hydration. They were able to pack a high concentration of
thermal spring water into this powerful, paraben-free serum, providing long-lasting
(24 hours long, that is) hydration thanks to a time-released hydrophilic matrix, which
soothes dehydrated and sensitive skin. The ultralightweight, noncomedogenic
formula actually feels like a refreshing splash of water on your complexion and it
enhances the effectiveness of any moisturizer or treatment product you choose to
apply next. (French) kiss irritation, tightness, and dry flakes goodbye."

Apply to clean skin every morning and night. Follow with your favorite moisturizer.

***** Is it "Worth it"?:
In my opinion, no. I am not a fan of the smell or texture of this. It's also a pricey
product and you can buy a cheaper product that is better quality.

done with it. But, sometimes we just want to let our hair down. Luckily, this gentle

this paste, formulated with Hawaiian volcanic ash (yes, you read that right) to keep

dry and tight. That won’t happen with this liquid formula, which dries to a matte

"We love a good eye shadow palette as much as the next person, but often we don't
take advantage of all the shades available. These individual colors are part of
DOUCCE's customizable magnetic shadow palette system, where you can choose the
exact hues you want to create a variety of looks. They feature highly pigmented
formulas with finishes ranging from shimmer to matte and can be used to blend,
contour, or highlight. Pick your favorite four shades and pop them into the empty
Freematic Customizable Palette to build a quad. Can't decide? Check out this pre-
curated one with hues chosen by us just for you. When you're all out, replace them
with the Singles here as needed or switch it up by selecting a different set of colors.
The possibilities are endless."
How To Use
Choose four shades and pop them into the Freematic Customizable Palette. It's
magnetic, so they'll glide right in and won't move. You can switch out a single color at
any given time by selecting a new one here. Sweep them over your lids dry or wet for
more intensity.
