January's BirchBox

I have to say... this was the BEST Birchbox I have received to date!  I waited until I tried everything before posting my review, as I want to give you accurate information that was tested, instead of just telling you what was in my box.

Contents of my January Birchbox

Full Size  Stil Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner - I LOVED!  It stays all day, does not move (bonus points for me) and pretty color (dark purple, just a hint of color), goes on super easy.

BORGHESE CuraForte Moisture Intensifier - This is a serum that you wear once a day under your moisturizer.  I saw a difference within days of testing this out and there is enough to last me at least 3 weeks!

 Jouer Body Butter - Ok, so I am not a body butter person, but LOVED this cute little jar and it smelled like gardenias, so I wore it like a perfume.  Really enjoyed this!

LÄRABAR Mini Bars - This was a "lifestyle" bonus in peanut butter.  It was alright, I am glad I got to taste it because it is not something I would typically try - I am not a "bar" person, so it was kinda fun.

This is the inside of the box, after opening

After using everything in this haul, I can firmly recommend Birchbox to you as this box more than paid for it's self and it was full of things I loved!  The Stila liner alone was $20 (plus tax and shipping), so at $10 for the entire box - what a deal!

This is the box you open, after a bright pink and white box that arrives with your name on it! 

To  get in on February's shipment, sign up soon - boxes ship on the 10th!  

Key points:

You get one bonus points for every time your box ships, every product you review and every person you refer enabling you to get free full size products from the site (see my link below)

If you really like your deluxe sample, it ships free the month the same month it appears in your box

Beauty Army - What's in the box?

The first ever Beauty Army box came in the mail this week!  

I found it difficult to not tear into it until I got home!

  I wanted to be able to tell you how beautiful the box is: 

How pretty the wrapping is: 

An of course a picture of the products themselves, before I opened to feel, touch and smell them!

My Glam Box - subscriptions opened today!

I think some of you know how crazy I am about the beauty boxes that are currently available - you get 4-6 large sized samples of luxury brands with a monthly subscription of 10-20 bucks, depending on the company.  Honestly, I dropped the one that was the most expensive - it was the Julep box I reviewed last month and I came to the conclusion that it just wasn't worth 20 bucks to get more nail polish than I could ever really use!

Now the other boxes that I subscribe to are: Birchbox.com, beautyarmy.com and myglam.com - these are becoming limited editions and hard to get in and are the latest thing on the beauty scene!

Birchbox currently has openings for new members - they are only 10 bucks per month (month to month) and I have been happy with every box so far - I even ordered my mom a subscription for Christmas!

BeautyArmy opened on January 1st with a huge launch!  They only had 300 boxes available... well there were so many people interested that their site crashed... crashed!  They had 65,000!!! hits once the site went live.  But guess who was persistent and got in on the 300?  That's right - yours truly!  I will review this box in about a week or so, once I receive it. $12 month to month subscription - you can sign up on their web site, but can't order anything until they open up new spots.

 LIMITED TIME OPPORTUNITY!! 

I WANT YOU GUYS TO GET IN ON IT! 

MyGlam.com launched a couple of months ago and had a similar experience as BeautyArmy - they have been sold out of subscriptions for a while... I have been on a list and they finally opened more spots this morning.  So... of course I signed up.  Last month they had more makeup samples than other boxes:  nyx, two urban decay (full size), perfume sample, tart. That's a GREAT haul, as the beauty bloggers call it.  Of course I had to be in on this one!  Subscription is month to month and is 10 bucks.

Here is the link to My Glam, in case you want to sign up - I would do it today - it will go quickly.

I will review the box once I get it - later this month!

Beauty Army

First, I will tell you about my experience, then I will post the press release below for Beauty Army.

This is a big deal.  

The release of Beauty Army was New Years Day at noon.  They had a big count down that stretched the page for the past several days.  So, the clock ticked down and... the page went down.  It took over an hour to actually get through, meanwhile the Beauty Army people were on facebook posting updates and trying to recover the space that 65000,  yes 65000 had crashed on their site.  Only 300 boxes were available.  I was lucky (and persistent enough - beauty products will do that to a girl) to get in on the subscription!

12 bucks a month for 4-6 premium brand, deluxe size samples - free delivery. 

Below is the press release that will tell you all the important details about how you too can subscribe and get the wonderful perks I am about to receive in the mail next week!  I will then do a review of what I got!
