Birchbox May 2013 Review

Hey Everybody!

I'm only a couple of weeks late on this one so I'm doing better :) My Birchbox came in! For those of you who are not familiar with Birchbox, it is a monthly subscription service that helps you discover new beauty, grooming and lifestyle products. 


Cost: $10/month


Yes to Grapefruit
Value: $1

I've heard a lot of good things about the "Yes to" brand but I've never tried it out before. I'm really hoping that the facial scrub work wells because I've been looking for a new face scrub for awhile. The dark spot correcting serum is supposed to diminish any dark spots. I've not sure if I have any dark spots though? When I'm really tired my under-eye circles get darker but I'm not sure if that is what it's supposed to help. I'll have to try it out!


Value:$1.73

I've never heard of this perfume either but I am really liking the scent. It kind of has a citrus scent mixed with something else, I just can't figure out what it is. I think that it smells really good. 


Beauty Protector Protect & Detangle
Value: $2

I've never tried spray-on leave-in conditioner. It is supposed to smooth and moisturize your hair. I use leave-in conditioner all of the time so this should be interesting to try out. 


Coola spf 30 Cucumber Face Moisturizing Sunscreen 
Value:$2.24

This couldn't have come at a more perfect time. I haven't made my summer sunscreen purchase yet so now I can try out this brand to see if I like it enough to want to buy it. I like moisturizers with SPF built into it. This particular one has 30 SPF included with it.


Sumita Color Contrast Eye Pencil
Value: $11

Total Value of the Box: $17.97

I thought that this was a pretty good box. I was introduced to a lot of new products that I am really excited to try out!

    I recently tried the "yes to" brand with their tomato line and I'm happy with it so far, haven't seen the grapefruit stuff and will be interested to see what you think!

      What kind of items does the tomato line have? It seems like it's a pretty reputable brand!

    That actually really surprises me that Birchbox doesn't go into Canada yet! I'm sure that they would have a lot of subscribers if they did.

Want to sell your old clothes? Poshmark.

If you have a bunch of clothes that you don't wear, then Poshmark is the best thing for you. Poshmark is an app on iPod, iPad and iPhone products. The app lets you post pictures of clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc. that you don't wear anymore. The items can be new with tags, new without tags and lightly worn (just don't try to post your old t-shirt with that pizza stain on it, I can promise you that nobody will buy it). Poshmark is a free application that you can get in the iTunes app store. As of right now, you cannot get the website on your computer. Unless, you have already signed up for an account on an iPad, iPod or iPhone. I signed up for Poshmark about a month and a half ago. Since then, I have sold over $3000 worth of stuff that I don't use anymore. I've sold shoes, jewelry, shirts, pants, sweaters, etc. The app is mostly geared towards women's and girl's/teen's items. Although, I have seen many people post men's and children's items. Th

Diamond Candles vs Prize Candles

Image
This week I'm trying a different type of post! Since I love subscription boxes, that means that I love surprises. So, of course I would love to try out surprise candles! I wanted to see which type of ring candle was better,  Diamond Candle  or  Prize Candle .  I got both candles in 2 different scents,  Prize Candle  was Blue Cypress and  Diamond Candle  was Be Mine (smells like wild berries, amber and roses). Each of the candles cost $25 a piece. Although,  Prize Candle  offers $10 your first purchase and  Diamond Candle  offers free shipping on orders $45 or more.  Inside both companies candles, there is a ring worth $10-$5,000.  First, the shipping. I ordered both candles the same night, within 15 minutes of each other.  Prize Candle  came 2 days before  Diamond Candle  did. My  Prize Candle  came pretty dirty though, I had to clean off the glass container because in had candle wax all over the sides. My  Diamond Candle  came in perfect condition thou

Giveaway!

Hey Everyone! So it was really hard for me to decide which subscription box to give you all a giveaway for. Most of you said that you wanted to enter a drawing for  Glossybox . So I was going to make the prize a 3-month subscription to Glossybox . But then I thought, well what if the winner wants something different? So I am going to leave the prize open-ended for you guys. The Prize: The winner gets to choose what they want. It can be anything that has up to a $60 value (since a 3-month subscription to Glossybox costs around $60). So that means that the winner can get a 3-month subscription to  Julep ,  Glossybox  etc. Or a 6-month subscription to Ipsy , Birchbox , etc. It doesn't even have to be a subscription to a subscription-box! It could be a $60 gift card to Target, Sephora, Gap, Visa, etc. Or even an item(s) that you've been eyeing for months but just haven't gotten around to buying. Seriously, it can ANYTHING that you choose with a value of up to $60! So what
