January 2013 Birchbox Review


I get giddy when I see that my Birchbox has arrived. When I see that my building has emailed me about a package, and I see that it is from Birchbox, I literally run downstairs to rip into it. Now, for being such a huge fan, I was a little bit disappointed this month. My box included the Caudalie Vinexpert Radiance Day Cream SPF 15. I have not tried this yet, but at $75 for the full size, well let's just say it better be some amazing day cream. I will update you when I have finished the sample. 


I also received the 100% Pure Nourishing Body Cream, which was considered the "extra" in my box. This was my favorite product in the box so far! It smells amazing! My scent was Green Apple and it literally smells like a delicious ripe green apple. I definitely plan on purchasing this full size, for $15. 

Included in the box was Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy. It's nice, that's really all. It isn't amazing or all that unique to me. It's a fairly small sample - so not that exciting of an addition to the box. 

The largest sample that I received was the Number 4 Clarifying Shampoo. I haven't used this yet, but I did smell it and there was nothing too special about that either. I actually didn't notice that it had any scent at all, hmph. Maybe this one will surprise me and be awesome after I use it. I like getting shampoo and hair products in my Birchbox because I am looking for "the one" when it comes to a shampoo/conditioner set.... so the search continues I suppose. 

Lastly, I received theBalm Put a Lid On it Eyelid Primer. Now, I used this once and it definitely worked. But..... I am a die hard fan Stila Prime Pot (color: Taffy)... so to convince me away from my Prime Pot would be difficult. I will give this one a few chances though.
