Birchbox and Ipsy

Later this week, maybe even as far as the weekend, I will be posting my reviews on my second Birchbox and First ever Ipsy bag. I am not one for surprises, so as soon as I could, I checked to see what I would be receiving this month. I will, of course, give a detailed post on both of these once I get them and sample the products but just by looking, Ipsy got it in the bag this month. See you soon, followers! Bye Bye!

First Birchbox Ever

Last week I received my very first Birchbox and wrote a review. Somehow it disappeared so here it is again.  
 
 

If you don't know what Birchbox is, it is a monthly subscription box of beauty products that is only $10. Some things are full sized products and some are samples. Still confused? Ever have a magazine Subscription? Know how you never know what is going to be written in each issue but you pay for it and receive it, so you read it, no complaints. Well, Birchbox is along the same lines but it is makeup, hair, and body products. They do have a little questionare that gets the basic information off of you. What your personality with makeup and other beauty products are, what skin tone are you, eye color, hair color, etc. Now that I've explained some of the basics, on to the review of my FIRST BIRCHBOX EVER.

 
 
 

So the first thing I noticed when I opened it was the biggest bottle in the box. The trial size of Serge Normant Dry Conditioner. I have been wanting to try this ever since I saw the sneek peek of the January box and am so excited that I got it. But with kids, it doesn't work that way. It has now become my DD's detangler since it was what I grabbed when I had misplaced her actual detangler. Stuff works like a charm. Love that it made her hair silky and she didn't even cry while we tried to conquer knot-adise city.
The next thing I came across was Dr Lipp Original Nipple Balm for Lips. I had been using Chapstick multiple times a day because my lips were actually hurting from the cold. I used this once a day the day I received the box and the day after. I have not had to use anything on my lips since then. That is some awesome stuff right there!
This is 100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Mascara. This stuff is as dark as Blackest Black and smells amazing. Seriously, this was on my eyes and I smelled it all day long at work. OVER BEER! Yes, I'm a bartender on top of being a mom. true glutten for punishment. I would love this IF it was actually extra lengthening like it says. I don't have eyelashes. I have stubs. If you have eyelashes that just need defined, this is for you.
 
I got this in Ride 'Em Cowgirl (see color picture below). This nail polish is supposed to be one color (the gold) indoors and the other (red) outdoors. Ever have 10 different bottles of nail polish open at one time? This little bottle has a crazy potent smell all on it's own that would rival 10 bottles! I haven't tried this yet due to no sun ever.

These teas are the lifestyle extra that they send in the box. I guess every month you get something different. I hope that is true because I am NOT a tea drinker. I will be taking these into work for someone else to use though, so not going to waste.
Well this was my first Birchbox. Pretty pleased so far and with the exception of the teas, I will use everything. Have a great day!
