{Birchbox Breakdown} The April Edition

I was inspired by Sarah of The Fontenot Four to share what I received this month in my lovely little Birchbox. Don't know what Birchbox is? It is the best way to discover new grooming, beauty and lifestyle products. You can sample top products from high-end brands, get expert advice, buy new favorites and earn points with every purchase. Fun, right?

We heard from the Birchbox folks that this month was inspired by the great outdoors and nourishing natural ingredients. So what was in my Birchbox this month?



willa™ Lavender Facial Towelettes :: these lavender facial towelettes are currently out of stock and I know why! They are fabulous! I love coming across convenient products, as a busy workin' momma and these fit the bill! They removed all traces of makeup, leaving my face feeling clean, refreshed, moisturized...not to mention smelling great! At $7 for a pack of 30, I think these are a great deal, and apparently so does everyone else!

Dropps Laundry Detergent :: I haven't tried these Dropps yet, being that it would mean that I actually have to do laundry, my nemesis. However, with two little ones with sensitive skin, you better believe I'll give these scent + dye free Dropps a go! Again, more convenience! Thanks Birchbox!


Wonderstruck Taylor Swift :: awww, how sweet is that? A perfume by Taylor Swift...and it's nice! A very floral scent, but it's not overpowering and didn't give me a headache. That means it passed my perfume test! However, if I'm spending $60+ on a bottle, it's gotta be Chanel...but this isn't bad!

J.R. Watkins Hand & Cuticle Salve :: who doesn't need to share more love with their cuticles? I was happy to see this little salve in the box, and it's now sitting right on my nightstand. Now if I can just remember to use it often! 

Zoya TRUE Spring Collection in Bevin :: my favorite product in last month's Birchbox may be my favorite again this month and that's a bottle of nail polish! I received Zoya's True Spring in Bevin and I think it's just too cute! What I love about receiving nail polish samples is that so far I've received two colors that I would have never picked for myself, but I love them! It's like going out of my color comfort zone, and I like it! The price point of $8 is typically what you'd spend for a decent bottle of polish and the TRUE Spring line has some great colors.

So do you love my Birchbox? I do!

What was in your box?

  5. Mine was just slightly different. My color was a purple and I got a mask as opposed to the wipes. I heard from a friend of mine who does strictly beauty box reviews that next months box is Gossip Girl inspired! Excited to see what's in that one!

    Talk with you later :)
