December 2014 Birchbox

Processed with VSCOcam

Hello Beautiful!! Just wanted to share what I received in my December 2014 Birchbox. I was super excited for my final box of the year and I have to say I was slightly disappointed. I received the following items:

Tocca Cleopatra Hand Cream

Laura Gellar Spackle Foundation Primer

SeaRx Microdermabrasion Face and Body Scrub

Beauty Protector Hair Oil

Lord & Berry Glitter Liner

I was pleasantly happy with the Laura Gellar Primer, the Tocca Hand Cream and the Beauty Protector Hair Oil. I loved all three but I didn’t like the SeaRX and the Lord & Berry Eyeliner. They’re horrible. This box was not the worst but I was definitely not impressed. Although I do have to say I absolutely love the box this month. Super festive and luxurious looking. Did you guys like your Birchbox this month? Let me know in the comments below!

Happy 2015 Lovelies!!!

Birchbox Haul September 2014

Hello Gorgeous! I am so excited to show you my Birchbox haul for this month. I purchased a handful of products and was even more excited because of all the promos Birchbox offers. I got a ton of free samples with my orders and a major discount using my Birchbox points. Read on to see what I got :))))

This is what I got from Birchbox this month. Since it is their anniversary month Birchbox is offering a promo code (BonusBox) for a free box with 4 of their most popular samples throughout the 4 years since they started. You can use this promo code for a free box when you spend $50 at the Birchbox shop. (And free shipping too!!!)

Another great perk about Birchbox is that they send you free samples every time you order. They have a bonus shop which allows you to shop around “Gift With Purchase” items. They offer a mystery sample pack for every order you make over $35. You get two samples with this. You may notice I got four free samples. This is because I made 2 separate orders and just so happened that each one was over $35. Guys sometimes you hit the jackpot with these samples. One order had the DDF moisturizer with the Color Club nail art duo pen. The other order had the Coastal Scents Revealed 2 eyeshadows and the Davines Conditioner. 

Here are the prices:

DDF (Doctor’s Dermatologic Formula) Ultra-Lite Oil-Free Moisturizing Dew (1oz): $24.70 [Full Size (1.7oz): $42]
Color Club Art Duo Pen (black) FULL SIZE $10 :))))
Davines Love/Conditioner packet (.41fl oz): $1.39 [Full Size $27.50]
Coastal Scents Revealed 2 Palette in Sunset: About $2 (Yes now I have two of these but one is Sunset and the other is ballerina) LOL!

Total Value of FREE Samples: About $38.09! 

The total for everything in my order comes out to $168.08! $70.13 of this was in free sample! YES! It really is true I promise. 

My total ended up being $72.95 and I used 500 points (which is $50 off) and paid a whopping $22.95!! If that does not amaze you, I don’t know what will. It pays to be a Birchbox member!! I promise!!
