April Birchbox 2014
Cost:ย $10.00 per month, free shipping or $110 per year.

The rewards:ย For every box you get, you earn 10 points. ย Every review of a product you receive in yourย birch box, you also earn 10 points. ย If you refer a friend and they use the link you send them, you get 50 points per person. ย In no time you will rack up 100 points which translates to $10.00 to use in the Birchbox shop. ย Only when you get 100 points do you get $10.00, if you have 60 points, you currently have $0.00 in rewards. ย 

So hereโ€™s the deal:ย โ€œEach month, youโ€™ll receive a selection of samples that weโ€™ve tried (and retried) ourselves. We source our samples from both well-known brands and emerging gems. The womenโ€™s subscription includes everything from skincare to makeup, as well as fun non-beauty extras. The menโ€™s subscription delivers top-tier grooming products in addition to lifestyle accessories ranging from hip socks to tech accessories.โ€

How It Works:ย Every month you will get 4-5 deluxe samples (and sometimes full-sized products) of makeup, skin care, hair care, nail polish, or bath and body, usually along with a lifestyle sample.

My Box:

In the April Birchbox they gave out little cards that said things to do on rainy days, fitting with the rhyme of “April showers bring May flowers.” ย Mine was plan your next trip. ย We’ll see about that one! ย After lasts month’s great box I was thrilled to see the new yellow box that advertised Kate Spade’s new line called Saturday!

This nail polish is the cutest mint polish with a gorgeous pearly finish. ย It did not wear as long as I would have liked but it’s a gorgeous shade. ย The color is amazing and I’m sure with a base coat I can mae it last.

This brow gel kept my brows in place very well! ย I noticed the second I opened it that it had quite a strong scent of glue so that is not my favorite thing but it got the job done!

KIND Granola Bar Maple Pumpkin Seeds
Full Size ย  Value: $0.80

This granola bar was the perfect balance between sweet and salty and I loved it!

Supergoop CC Cream
Sample Size: 3 mL Value: $2.04

Honestly this CC cream was fabulous, the texture was perfect, consistency was great and it covered really well and was SO light on my skin! ย I loved that it adjusted itself to my skin tone as I blended it and it has SPF 35!

Overall, the April Birchbox was pretty awesome. ย It was worth more than double what I paid which I love because I know I am really getting my money’s worth out of this box. ย Buying this box at $10.00 and getting nearly $25 of stuff in it is a great deal! ย I loved the Supergoop CC Cream and the CC was great because I have been super into lighter foundations lately and this one is great because sometimes you need a little more coverage than other days. ย If you’d like to sign up, click here (affiliate link)!
