Birchbox February Box Review

After seeing many monthly beauty box subscriptions on different TV shows and magazines, I finally talked myself into signing up. And not just for one subscription but two! I did a lot of research and decided on BeautyARMY (mainly for the ability to pick my own samples each month and being able to easily opt out of a month for any reason) and Birchbox (despite the 2-3month wait, it's totally worth it for the quality products in the boxes each month).

My first review is on BirchBox:


February was a pretty great month for samples.
Birchbox was wonderful! The focus this month was on Oscar Red Carpet ready looks.


The perfume sample this month was Juicy Couture's new perfume COUTURE LA LA. It has a nice scent, combining lily and orange blossom to make a clean floral scent. A little bit too much for me, I am into less floral smells, but my daughter loves it! So it's a win! :)


I was happy to find a new skin care/make up product to try out. I love the idea of BB Creams but have a hard time finding one that covers well enough. The Dr. Jart+ BB Beauty Balm is the best I have found so far. It also has SPF25, which I LOVE! Saves me a step in the morning. It has a nice finish, a little tacky at first but smooths out well. It also has a nice scent to it as well. And it covers nicely for a BB cream. The full-size is $36 and is sold on Birchbox.com, I will probably end up buying it after I use all my sample.


My favorite product this month (which I have used A TON already!) is the Beauty Protector detangler. It smells AMAZING!!! A yummy coconut oil smell. And keeps my hair soft and smooth. I highly recommend this product!!! And at only $21.95 for a full-size bottle it's a major deal. My daughter, who has long tangly hair, uses this product too and it has been wonderful on her hair!



I am a nail polish addict so I welcome any/all new colors. This month came with a full size nail polish sample, from a company called Color Club. The color is called Wild Cactus but it really resembles an emerald color. It is truely a gorgeous, original color! Very fun and funky for the fall. And emerald is a perfect color for their red carpet theme this month. Obsessed with this sample!!!

And what box of goodies is complete without some chocolate!!! Yummy!!! Does this company know its clients or what?!?😊 And it's Ghiradelli chocolate with caramel! Super yummy!
