March 2012 Birchbox

Well, I couldn't resist jumping on the Birchbox bandwagon, and I'm so glad I did! What a fun box this month! I'm hooked already =) 

 

In this month's box I received:

Traditions by Nick Chavez Yucca Shampooing Cream (Retail $20.00 for 200mL)
A traditional Native American hair remedy, yucca root boosts shine levels and fortifies each follicle, preventing excess hair loss. Wild yam encourages healthy hair growth, while the mildest dose of peppermint oil will leave your scalp tingly and refreshed. I adore the scent of this stuff!!

Boscia Green Tea Blotting Linens ($10.00 for 100 pack)
The speckled sheets are made with linen fibers from the abaca tree plant, which is native to the Philippines. Infused with green tea, which is rich in natural antioxidants, the sheets instantly absorb oily shine (and you can see the trace evidence with your own eyes). I love Boscia products, and these are no exception!

Grandma Stelle's Hand Wash (Retail $20.00 for 400mL)
It’s made with botanical extracts, including verbena and thyme, which will leave your hands softer than they’ve felt in years. It smells great too!

Color Club Neon Nail Polish in Lava Lamp (Retail $8.00 for 0.5 oz)
They come in seven neon shades that channel the decade’s exuberant vibe: think mod girls, painted buses, and the advent of color TV. The Lava Lamp color isn't something I'd normally buy, it's a bright fluorescent orange...but it looks cute on the toes for spring!

stila Smoky Eye Shadow sample trio (Retail $45.00 for 3 colors)
These long-lasting shadows are made of finely pressed pigments that go on super smoothly. The formula is designed to be applied dry or wet, so you get double the use out of every compact. I love the color combination, it makes for a perfect smoky eye!!

Kusmi Tea Paris - I Love My Detox Tea (Retail $21.95 for 24 tea bags)
Sourced from China, the premium green tea in this blend is full of antioxidants that boost your immunity. Maté, an Amazonian plant renowned for its medicinal powers, flushes out the impurities in your system, while lemongrass aides your digestive system.

My February Cravebox Has Arrived!

In the third month of the Cravebox Beta, I received several items I'm looking forward to trying! 

• I'm most excited about the AmorePacific Treatment Cleansing Foam and Hydration Delivery System! I have yet to try this brand of skincare but have been hearing rave reviews about it, so I'll keep you all posted on what I think. 
• The second product that caught my eye were the 2 ThinkThin nutrition bars, they look so yummy and I can't wait to taste them! I'm a big bar fanatic, so I was glad to see these in the box! 
• Also in the box was a bottle of Downy Wrinkle Releaser...I'm a little skeptical as to whether this can really replace ironing, but as someone who despises ironing, I'll definitely give it a try! 
• The 4th product in the box was a few packets of EBOOST Orange Natural Energy Booster. Sounds similar to the Emergen-C from last months box (and that I've long been a fan of), so I'm definitely willing to give it a try and see how the flavor holds up. I did notice it has caffeine in it and will need to check on the other ingredients to make sure it's safe to take while preggo. If not I'll just have to wait until July to try it! 
• Lastly, we received SIX different colors of Bic Mark-It permananent markers. My first thoughts were "cute colors, but I need to find a good hiding place for these before my 4-year old gets his hands on them!". They seem to be similar to Sharpies, but in much more pleasant colors. Writing notes was mentioned as a way to use these, but they still seem a little thick for a note. Not exactly sure how I'll use them but I'm sure one day I'll have some need for them. In the meantime, they'll be well hidden!

Looking forward to seeing what March has in store for us Craveboxers! =)
