May 2013 Birchbox Review

I’m weeks behind on my May Birchbox review because I was trying to catch up with all of the Baby Watch posts (which I’m behind on again…). Birchbox is a monthly subscription service for upscale beauty products.  For $10, you get a box with 4-5 generous 

December Birchbox Review

The December Birchbox wasn’t wonderful.  Things didn’t seem very tailored to me and I received too many lotion-type problems.  Some months are better than others, so it’s no big deal. Birchbox is a monthly subscription service for upscale beauty products.  For $10, you get a box 

November Birchbox Review

The November Birchbox was my favorite Birchbox so far. Everything is useful and some of the stuff is downright awesome!  A 3, 6, or 12 month Birchbox gift subscription would be a great gift for a friend or sister who loves beauty and trying new 

October Julep Maven Review

I skipped the Julep Maven box for August and September, but I forgot to skip my October box too, once I got the email preview.  The colors weren’t bad, but I wasn’t dying for them. Julep is a boutique nail salon that offers a monthly subscription

September Birchbox Review

The September Birchbox theme was Fall Fashion, which seemed quite appropriate, though the products don’t really fit the theme.  I think the spf beauty balm and the bright blue polish were more spring or summer options, but maybe that just because fall got cold pretty 

August Birchbox Review

The August Birchbox theme was Beauty School, which I didn’t really get except there was a little booklet with beauty tips.  I’m still pretty happy with this service and feel like it’s worth the $10, though I’ll probably take a break soon because I need 

Sparitual Disco Inferno Polish

I bought this nail polish at Earth Fare when it was on sale.  It’s DBP, Formaldehyde, and Toluene Free.  I thought it had some weird name that I couldn’t pronounce and then weeks later I noticed that’s it’s just Spa Ritual, but the words are 

July Birchbox Review

The July Birchbox theme was the 5 senses.  It was a decent box, but I probably wouldn’t purchase many of the items.  I can use everything in it (except the earbuds – who needs those!).  It was still fun to get the box and check
