Toady I finally received my first BIRCHBOX!!:) 

I was quite ecstatic to get this baby open and see what goodies lay ahead for me. 

I won't be comparing this to any other subscription just because I feel like they're each different for a reason:) I've read so many bad reviews on this box and I pleasantly have to disagree.

"The season is changing, and we've got an extra hour of glorious daylight (woo hoo!) and an hour less of shut-eye (blergh) on our hands. Whether you’re a glass half-empty or half-full kind of gal, what better time to focus on maximizing your daily routine? This month we're talking about smart DIYs, clever beauty shortcuts, and even ways to improve your Birchbox experience. (Hint: It involves getting products for free!) We’ll show you how to get more out of everything, from helping your products last longer to time-saving hair tricks. Prepare yourself—it's going to be a great spring!"



 I received the following; 

•  Agave Oil Treatment- 0.1 oz 

•  Gilchrist & Soames Body Lotion- 1.5oz

•  The Balm's "How Bout' Them Apples" sample in "Pie"

•  Sugargoop Sunscreen Serum- 10ml. 

• Mighty Leaf Tea- 3 pouches 

 

 Here's an overview of my box! I'm loving it! Let's go into our normal breakdown:) 

First thing I pulled out was this lotion from Gilchrist & Soames. My first thought, "I'm sure this is the lotion you get at a hotel." After applying this, the lotion did seem a little watery for me. I have really dry hands and elbows most of the time, so this was a bit of a let down. I'll still give it a few more tries though. The full size of this product retails for $16. Though I won't be purchasing this in the near future, I'll enjoy what I have because the scent is actually a nice earthy fragrance. 

 I saw this little bottle peeking out from behind the lotion and was instantly drawn to it. Sugargoop is a new product to me. Never heard of it and never tried it, but isn't this why we pay for these subscriptions?:) I easily get sun burnt, so I enjoy any sunscreen. This guy has an SPF of 30, (which is awesome) and works as a makeup primer as well. Two in one?! Yes please! This is an anti - aging product that protects our skin from UV exposure and dehydration. I'll have to try this out more when Summer actually arrives.. haha Full size is $42!

 Ahh.. a familiar brand. Agave has been a personal favorite of mine for some time. I'll accept a product of theirs anytime:) So, this oil treatment is said to restore unmanageable and frizzy hair. Which unfortunately, I have:(


"Other natural botanicals like coconut, vanilla, sunflower, and safflower are blended with madagascar baobab seed oil to nourish and transform hair’s outer layer."

2oz is $24 and you can get it here.

 Why is it that The Balm's packaging is always so awesome and on point!?!

I've mentioned before I'm a sucker for cute packaging and this is definitely one of my favorites ever!

I'm such a fan of this brand and surprisingly don't own this palette. This here, is a blush/lip cream palette with six different shades and this retails for $32 on their site.

 The shade I received is, "Pie." The texture of this is sooo creamy! It melted right into my skin, but I love it. The color is a pretty peachy/coral shade and you best believe I will use this up! I might be a blush addict.. haha, but this is sooo worth purchasing.. You, my friend, are going on my wishlist!

Next, I received an assortment of three different pouches of tea from Mighty Leaf.

I'm more of an iced-tea person, but I'll give these a try.

Green Tea Tropical; "Smooth green tea leaves harmoniously blend with sweet tropical fruits of pineapple and guava. Fragrant and uplifting, this bouquet will transport you to tropical bliss."

Organic Earl Grey; "Perfection of a classic. Gold tips of rich black tea leaves blended with a twist of deep, first-press bergamot oil."

Chamomile Citrus; "A tea to curl up with and savor by the sip. Soothing Egyptian chamomile flowers with subtle slices of citrus fruit." 

These come in three 15 pouch boxes for $26.99. I am wrapping up this blog with one now!:) Get them here! 

Last,  but not least they out complimentary chocolate from Ghiradelli. 
I LOVE chocolate! Especially chocolate with almonds.. yum!!!! I opened this box right after dinner, so be assured that my boyfriend and I split this one in half. Haha:) It was scrumptious!!! It melted into my mouth.. I think I went to Heaven and back during the minute it took to enjoy this.. hahah:) This chocolate is at a low cost of $4.25! You should try it! You know you want to!

That's it guys!!! Thank you, BIRCHBOX for an amazing first month!!!! 

For $10 a month, you and I will become best of friends.. hah<3
