I love that there are so many different Birchboxes each month. It makes it that much more exciting to get your box and see what items you got!


Curly Hair Solutions Curl Keeper

I have curly hair so I was really excited to try this! Its a thin, watery gel, and it actually works really good. I shower at night and let my hair dry naturally, then apply enough product and spritz my hair with leave in conditioner or water to activate my curl and scrunch with my hands, until my desired look. Creates soft natural curls and the full size is only $10 in the Birchbox shop! Sold!

Caudalie Hand & Nail Cream

Im not a fan of hand creams or lotions. I use coconut oil to condition my skin. So im not too interested in this.


Benefit Sugarbomb Lip gloss

Benefit is one of my favorite beauty brands so I was happy to see a product from them in my box. Butt.. I dont like lip gloss. 


VOESH Green Tea Pedicure Scrub

I love pampering products, so Ill definitely use this on one of my "at home spa" evenings where I take a detox bath, deep condition my hair, put on a face mask and... give myself a pedicure!

Ruffian Nail Lacquer

I got this same polish in my first birchbox this month. Im not a fan of the color.

Paulas Choice Resist BHA 9

I wish this sample was larger. Its a really pricey item, so I hope im able to get a few uses out of it to see its effectiveness.


Serge Normant Meta Luxe Hair Spray

I love that this is a light hold spray, I really hate hair spray that makes your hair stiff and hard. This is perfect for keeping down fly aways! 

Dr. Lipp Nipple Balm for Lips

I LOVE this stuff! Im obsessed with lip products & treatments so this is probably my favorite thing in this box. Im definitely purchasing the full size!


Coastal Scents Eyeshadow

Normally I dont like getting eyeshadow, because I have more than I could ever use up in a lifetime.. but I actually really like these colors :)

Ruffian Nail Lacquer

I got this in the color Hedge Fund. While I really like the color, I just dont think green looks good on my nails with my current complexion. Maybe in the summer when I have a glow.. but right now im super pale.. im afraid this might make me look sick! haha!
