WHAT'S IN MY BIRCH BOX: APRIL


Here's my first Birch Box! If you don't know what Birch Box is, click here!
I was pretty excited to get this but waaaaaay disappointed it took until the 19th to come! It took 9 days to ship? Really? The tracking number they gave me was never updated by the USPS...of course until it said it was delivered. Waayy lame USPS!! But moving forward...here's the goods:



When you take off the top, there's a card that tells you about everything in the box...too bad I didn't read mine! I was too excited to see what was inside. I did see someone elses Birch Box, but hoped I got something different. Well....



Duun, duuun, duuuuuun.....same stuff. I guess everyone gets the same thing, so that little survey you fill out asking you what products you'd like to see most doesn't count for anything. That's too bad....



I'm pretty perplexed at this one. I guess it's cool to see the swatches of these Zoya nail polishes that are eco-friendly...but how eco friendly is it to send out all these plastic cards to everyone??? Really? I also got a cute, tiny bottle of the gray polish, Dove. It's not what I would call a spring color, but it's cute.


This is the one item I am actually really excited about. Suki Face Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser! It does smell a bit like Pledge furniture polish, but I still like it! I haven't used it yet, but I'm looking forward to it. =) Review will be coming your way!!



The LIV GRN is a perfume and smells really nice! The card in the middle, as you can see, can be planted and it will turn into flowers. A great item for Earth Day! Also, a facial lotion in Wild Rose. Also excited about the lotion.

And now....the big FAIL for me....



TEA? Really Birch Box? Tea? Isn't this supposed to be a program to try out high end beauty products? This isn't the tea of the month club. I'm putting you on notice Birch Box, send me any more tea or non-beauty related items, I'm leaving you. ;)

I got different things, didn't get the tea or the scrub but I did get the perfume, zoya and little seeds. it's not a bad thing, I've gotten nars and stila in the past.

I want some NARS...heck, I'd settle for some Cover Girl!!!!! Just no more non-beauty items!!

Was the tea listed as the "treat" They sent me these little chocolate bits on month as the treat... it seems to be something extra, not beauty related. I don't mind as long as the rest of the things are beauty!
