Canceled my Birchbox

After 3 months of being a member I decided to call it quits. Here's my post that explains more about birchbox with a picture of my first box.

I was disappointed in the tiny products I received. I could not justify spending ten dollars on that every month. When joining ten dollars didn't seem like a big deal but now thirty dollars later and all I have are misplaced tiny samples...seems like a waste! I'm going to keep doing my makeup shopping with Sephora. I love shopping with them online! You get to pick out the samples you want when you place an order.

Last week I went shopping with my sisters and purchased the Too Faced Natural eye shadow collection. I'm really enjoying the shades and will do a post on it soon!

Have you tried Birchbox yet? I was really excited about it.

My First Birch Box-December 2011

After reading so much about Birchbox I decided to join. What is Birchbox? Well, for ten dollars a month (can cancel at any time) you will receive a box of deluxe sized samples delivered to your door. I absolutely love getting stuff in the mail and of course beauty products so I'm giving it a try!

I must admit my first box did not leave a good impression on me. My sis was over when I got the mail and I was so excited. She glanced over and was like "you paid how much for that?!" Because I got tiny stuff as you can see. The only decent sized sample is the face primer The Porefessional by Benefit. I actually like that a lot. It smells good, fills in pores and dries to a silky finish.

I also got a perfume sample of Ageless by Harvey Prince which I think is a terrible name. However the scent was impressive. Here's the description from their website

"Inspired by scientific research and crafted with love, Ageless by Harvey Prince defies your skin’s natural age-revealing scent. Its notes are an inviting blend of pink grapefruit, pomegranate, luscious mango, with a dry down of jasmine and natural musk."

The lipgloss is Birchbox Pink by Jouer. It's okay and goes on very sheer.

The Loreal Mythic Oil made my dry hair shiny and smooth. Smells nice. "Enriched with a special blend of avocado and grape seed oil, this lightweight oil cares and pampers all hair types. Nourishing even the finest hair, the formula leaves hair looking shiny, feeling nourished and supple."

I have not tried the EBoost Health Booster drink mix yet.

Not sure what I will do with the Showstoppers fashion tape!

I considered canceling my subscriptions but I've seen a lot of nice looking samples on other blogs. So, I'm going to try another month. Please be a good one!
