February Birchbox





Today I received my February Birchbox . This is another beauty product monthly subscription that I have signed up for.  It costs $10 a month and that includes shipping.  It comes in a cute little brown box. The contents this month's Red Carpet Ready theme were...


1. Beauty Protector Protect and Detangle Leave in Conditioner (retail price $21.95)
I thought that this leave in conditioner worked well and smelled great. It offers a lot of functions in one product. It was lightweight and didn't weigh my hair down. I read lots of great review from people that swear by it! I think it would be worth buying, but I probably won't. I'll just stick to my argan oil.




2. Dermablend Professional Smooth Indulgence Concealer (retail price $22)
I have to say this is now a must have in my makeup bag. I will never be without this concealer. I loved it! It covered my blemishes so well and stayed on all day. It didn't irritate my skin like some concealers do. It was more liquidy than I expected, but I think that's the trick to helping it go on so smoothly and not look cakey at all. A little goes a long way. So $22 may seem like a lot for concealer but I'm sure it would last forever. I'm expecting this little sample to last a few months.

3. Dr. Lipp Original Nipple Balm for Lips  (retail price $14.50)
Nipple Balm? Say What? Is that like Udder Balm? This is actually a multipurpose balm and lip gloss. The claim is that it was formulated for nursing moms but is now a must have among makeup artists. And I have to say, it worked really well on my lips and the little dry patch on my elbow is gone after one application. It even looks pretty on your lips. Its clear, but somehow looks beautiful. I think this is something everyone should have!

4.  Juicy Couture Couture La La (retail price $19-$90)
This perfume smells really good.  It reminded me of a mix between Clinque's Happy and Ralph Lauren's Romance. It was clean, crisp, and floraly. (Is that a word?) I already have two other juicy perfumes that I love. So I made need to add this one to my collection.


5. Votivo Pink Mimosa Candle (retail price $26)
This little candle tin was so cute and smelled so good. It reminded me of pink grapefruit. This company also offers bath products, reed diffusers, sprays and incense sticks.

Bonus treat!
A Ghirardelli chocolate and caramel square. Yum Yum!



I'm really happy with my Birchbox this month. I'm thrilled I found such a great concealer! I think that the Birchbox team really puts thought into what they send out each month. I believe that they truly want everyone to be happy with the products that they choose.
