It's super adorable and packed with great hair/make up/cooking/everything. I was scrolling through her blog and came across a post she did about receiving a Birchbox. I read the post and I had to sign up.
Birchbox is sort of like a magazine subscription. But instead of getting a magazine you will flip though once or twice and then leave around to clutter your house, you get 4-5 samples of beauty products, that you will LOVE. And it's only $10 a month. It comes in a hot pink box, so you will never miss it in your mail. Not that you would, if you are anything like me, practically sprinting to the mailbox to check for my box every month.
I got my first Birchbox in November and I discovered my new favorite perfume Kate Spade 'Twirl' and Jouer Cosmetics and amazing Alex & Isabella Hair Bows (the hair ties don't leave the weird pony tail hump when you take your hair down, and they are too cute!)
I got my December Birchbox and I was absolutely thrilled with what was inside, again. They usually show up around the 10th but this month's came a little late because inside everyone got an exclusive pre-launch of Atelier Cologne Ambre Nue Cologne Absolue. So, they sent everyone 100 Birchbox points, which is essentially a $10 credit to shop on their website. Awesome.
Here is my review of all the December products in my box.

It is always packaged up so cute! Ribbons, shimmery paper :)
In this month's box I got:
EBOOST Orange Natural Energy Booster
It is a packet that you mix with water and drink, supposed to be a natural energy booster. I have not tried it.
pre-launch Atelier Cologne Ambre Nue Cologne Absolue
It smells amazing.
It's elegant and mature and what I imagine classy, old Hollywood smelled like.
Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse® OR Multi-Usage Dry Oil Shimmer
Amazing product. I used a little on my décolletage and on my legs and it looked amazing. Just a little shimmer, it made all the difference! It really took my whole look up a notch. We were going to a Christmas party that night and it was perfect On my legs, it gave that flawless sheen that wearing nylon pantyhose can, but without the itchy stuffiness of pantyhose. It only takes a little bit so my sample size is going to last a while, but when it is gone, I am restocking this one for sure.
Showstoppers® Designer Fashion Tape in Nude
I love fashion tape, so useful. I have actually used this brand before, it is great.
Jouer Moisturizing Lip Gloss
The color I got is 'Birchbox Pink'. It is a nice color and consistency, isn't too sticky, and very moisturizing
Oscar Blandi Pronto Invisible Volumizing Dry Shampoo
I use dry shampoo a lot, but I wasn't particularly impressed by this one. I didn't like the smell and it didn't blow me away. A full size bottle costs 28.00 and I didn't think it worked any better than my 4.00 Tresemme Fresh Start (which smells awesome and works like a dream)
I love getting Birchboxes every month and I will most likely keep my subscription forever. It is a great way to find some stellar beauty products without having to do the hard work or buy a full size product that you end up hating.
