Monthly Surprise in the Mail

So these subscription boxes are all the rage now!  You can get one for basically any reason.  There are ones for dogs, ones for men, healthy snacks, etc.  But my favorite of all is my Birchbox subscription box.  These monthly goodie bags cost $10 a month and provide you with all new beauty products.  Now of course, some months are better than others.  I'm going to review my first impression of this month's box. 

So this past Saturday, I opened up my mailbox and was happy to see the pink box that meant my Birchbox had arrived!  I opened it up and below is the entire contents:

This month's box looks pretty promising on first glance, let's get a closer look.

Dr. Brandt Microdermibrasion Skin Exfoliant
This is supposed to be a gentle but powerful scrub that is supposed to have results similar to those results you would get from microdermabrasion.  I used this one once so far and I have to say it definitely makes my face feel super clean.  Now, I don't know that I still wouldn't get a microdermabrasion treatment, but it definitely works for getting all traces of make-up and dirt out of my pores.

theBalm Cosmetics Staniac
So this is supposed to be a 2-in-1 lip & cheek stain.  I haven't used this yet, but this sounds very promising to me!  I used to be addicted to the Tart cheek stains, so I can't wait to try this.  It may even be a good idea for when traveling - only would need to carry one product instead of two!

 Chapstick Hydration Lock
This stuff is amazing!  It's basically regular chap stick but it lasts so much longer!  Usually I  have to reapply chap stick every hour or two, but this one I went for almost a full day without reapplying.  This will a great product for winter when my lips are constantly chapped.

 Supergoop City Sunscreen Serum
I haven't tried this one yet either.  It is supposed to be a sunscreen and moisturizer that can be worn alone or under foundation.  I'm getting low on my current moisturizer which contains sunscreen, so I'll try it once that wears out.   

12 Benefits Instant Healthy Hair Treatment
I haven't tried this yet, but am planning on trying out this weekend.  It is a leave-in conditioning treatment that is supposed to put the nutrients back into your hair that make it healthy and shiny.  The reviews of the product seem pretty positive, so maybe it will be able to accomplish what all other leave-in conditioners I've tried have not been able to. 











So there you have it, this month's box.  I think it was a pretty good box.  Definitely made up for the one month that I got a couple of samples and a pen! Yes, a pen!! 
Also if you have any leave-in conditioning products that worked wonders for you to make your dry hair healthier looking, please let me know!
