APRIL BIRCHBOX

So my April Birchbox finally came in today.  Took a minute because of the move and the order was sent to my old address then had to be forwarded to my new one.  You know how it is....

but I was so excited about receiving this months box.  The theme was RAINY DAYS and the box couldn't have been jam packed with anything better then what it was. 

Now for those of you that don't know what birchbox is; you're missing out.  Basically you pay $10 bucks a month and each month you receive a box with 6 or more samples of products that normally would cost you $100 dollars or more to buy.  As written and stated by the Birchbox website, 

The Birchbox 

Each month, you'll receive a selection of samples that we’ve tried (and retried) ourselves. We source our samples from both well-known brands and emerging gems. The women’s subscription includes everything from skincare to makeup, as well as fun non-beauty extras. The men’s subscription delivers top-tier grooming products in addition to lifestyle accessories ranging from hip socks to tech accessories. Check out the ever-growing list of products in our Women’s Shop and Men’s Shop.

The Content

Our original content helps you get the most out of your samples. We’re a source of inspiration, advice, and information. We’ll show you how to master techniques and upgrade your daily routine with articles, expert interviews, and videos. Dive into the Birchbox Magazine and explore the The Guide.

The Shop

When you are ready for more of the products you sampled, you can purchase full-size versions directly from the Birchbox Shop. We have a generous loyalty program that rewards you every time you shop, refer friends, and give feedback on your monthly samples. You can redeem Birchbox Points and save on any full-size or gift purchase.

Not only can you go online to place an order you also can download the app which is packed with choices from ordering items to tracking your purchase or Birchbox.  You can track your points and see exclusive items that are only available to account holders.

But I'm sure you're tired of me rambling about how amazing this company is and want to see what i received soooooo let the showcase begin.....

Number 4™ Reconstructing Masque 

Selling Price:  $58.00

How it Works

Soy protein works to reconstruct and strengthen hair while natural conditioners like shea butter, jojoba seed oil, and sunflower oil nourish and moisturize. Don’t forget about the silkiness factor — for that, there’s silicone polymer, which smoothes and detangles.

How to Use

After shampooing, wring excess moisture from hair. Apply evenly to hair starting at the ends and working your way upward to your scalp. Wait for two to five minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

 

Number 4™ Clarifying Shampoo - 8.5 oz

Selling Price:  $32.00 

How it Works

Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, this clarifying shampoo restores health and shine to overworked tresses. Black currant and soy restore vibrancy; acai berry and vitamin C deliver youth-boosting antioxidants; Oolong tea and Irish moss defend against environmental damage; and lemongrass and oatmeal gently cleanse and purify. This shampoo is also vegan friendly and free from sulfate/sodium chloride and parabens.

How to Use

Squeeze a small amount (a little goes a long way) of the water-activated formula into the palm of your hand and work into a thick lather. Deposit the lather evenly through damp strands and rinse thoroughly. Use daily for best results.

Cynthia Rowley Beauty Eyeliner

Selling Price:  $16.00

How it Works

These luxe, creamy liners deliver bold color that lasts and lasts. Choose from five wearable shades: Black, Silver, Charcoal, Sky Blue, and Violet. Vegan, cruelty-free, and paraben-free, these liners feature Cynthia Rowley’s signature gold foil design.

How to Use

Gently trace your lash line for a defined look. Smudge within 30 seconds for a smoky eye, and then let the formula set for all-day wear. Sharpen the pencil as needed for a finer point.

Color Club Gala's Gems Collection

 Selling Price:  $13.00

How it Works

These lacquer shades combine Gala’s beauty know-how with Color Club’s longwearing formulas. Gold Struck is an understated, soft gold that’s subtle enough for daytime wear. Breakfast At... is an emerald pearl that bears a striking resemblance to a certain iconic jewelry box. Aquamarine Azulino is a pearly sky blue with a hint of shimmer, and Heirloom Pearls, Gala’s admitted favorite of the whole collection, is an opulent off-white.

How to Use

Use two coats for an opaque, pearl finish.

 

KIND Healthy Grain Bars

 Selling Price:  $11.88 

How it Works

Each bar is made with five super grains for maximum nutritional and taste bud benefits. Available in Maple Pumpkin Seeds with Sea Salt, Dark Chocolate Chunk, Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate, and a variety pack of the three.

How to Use

Throw one of these in your bag or a whole box in your desk drawer at the office, and you’ll never have to worry about being “hangry” again.

nyakio™ Kenyan Coffee Face Polish 

Selling Price:  $34.00

How it Works

The coffee extract and jojoba oil in this scrub buff away dull skin. But unlike some exfoliators, this gentle formula isn’t drying: Neroli, lemongrass, and macadamia oils provide intense moisture for smooth, dewy skin.

How to Use

Use small, circular motions to massage onto face, avoiding eyes. Rinse and pat dry.

 nyakio™ Kenyan Coffee Body Scrub 

Selling Price:  $55.00

How it Works

Inspired by a mixture made by founder Nyakio’s namesake grandmother, who worked on a coffee farm, this formula is loaded with natural ingredients like shea butter, sugar, jojoba seed oil, avocado oil, and, of course, Kenyan coffee beans. The grittier ingredients slough off skin’s dull outer layer, while the creamy ones infuse the freshly revealed skin with moisture.

How to Use

Massage onto damp skin in a circular motion, focusing on spots prone to dryness (think heels, elbows, and knees). Rinse away.

nyakio™ Hydrating Face Oil With Kola Nut

Selling Price:  $49.00

How it Works

Made with African kola nut, a rich source of caffeine, this quick-absorbing serum instantly invigorates skin. A blend of other natural oils—including ximenia, chamomile, and trichilia oil sourced from across Africa—balances complexion, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and softens skin.

How to Use

Place a few drops onto fingertips, then evenly pat onto forehead, chin, and cheeks.
