About the Box
Birchbox is a monthly subscription box where you get 4 to 5 beauty/lifestyle samples for $10/month. The Birchbox Finds was a limited edition box that Birchbox sold for $18. This is in addition to your monthly box, not in place of. Also, all products are full-size products not samples.
Unboxing
Biore Strips
These Biore Strips are Self Heating One Minute Masks where you wet your face, apply the mask, rub the mask into the skin for one minute, and then rinse off. Four one use packets come in the pack and this retails for $7.99
CoverGirl Bombshell Shine Shadow
I received the CoverGirl Bombshell Shine Shadow in Ice Queen which is a white frosty cream shadow with a ton of shimmer to it. This shadow also has a lot of staying power. This tube retails for $8.99
CoverGirl Bombshell Volume Mascara
This mascara is a two step mascara. The first step thickens and gives volume while the second step lengthens and seals. This mascara retails for $11.99, keep reading for a giveaway of this product!
John Frieda Frizz Ease
This nourishing elixir contains argan oil which battles frizz, leaves hair shiny, and soft. Plus it smells GREAT! This retails for $9.99
Nivea Kiss of Care & Color
Nivea is always a very moisturizing brand to me and I don’t think this product is going to be any different. This product has a core that adds hydration to the lips and the outer ring adds a light wash of color to the lips. The color that I received was Sheer Coral, I hoping that on the lips this is better than the way it swatched on my had. This retails for $4.99
Rimmel Stay Glossy 3D Lipgloss
I received the Rimmel Stay Glossy 3D Lipgloss in Popcorn for Two. This shade is a coral base but it has a pearlescent effect, which I’m assuming is what gives it it’s 3Dness. I have to say that the color payoff was great, it wasn’t greasy at all, BUT the smell was HORRIBLE! This retails for $4.99
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure
The shade that I received in the Sally Hansen Complete Manicure was Rosy Outlook. This supposedly is a base and top coat along with a gel polish in one and is supposed to last up to 10 days. I’ll be posting a review up on the blog in the weeks to come. This retails for $7.99
All-in-all this was a great box, I only spent $18 on the box (shipping was free!) and I got $56.93 worth of product! All of these are things I either already own versions of or were wanting to try out. I’m most excited about the mascara, the nail polish, and the Biore strips. Currently the Birchbox Finds is still available to purchase, however, if you’re interested in purchasing it you better do so soon as it is limited edition. Click here to purchase.

Hey Cassie! Usually I just buy the pink tube with the green cap mascara…. 😉
benefit theyre real
I have heard lots of fantastic things about this mascara. Would love to be able to try it!
Have you ever tried hurraw chapstick? That stuff is amazing!
Ooops! Sorry! My favorite mascara is Organic Wear in black!

My favourite mascara at the moment is Benefit’s They’re Real! I love it so much! Too bad it’s a sample that I got when I recycled my old tube of mascara and I really don’t want to pay full price for one when I run out 🙁
I love Frizz Ease products. I started using them back in high school and they really work. Wow, they’ve been around for a long time!
Oh, this looks like an awesome box! I have some of that Sally Hansen polish, and its AMAZING.
This was a good month for BirchBox! I am still on the fence about joining but I have to say that they always have great products. I love that mascara!
There was so much good stuff in there!! I have been wanting to try that Nivea Kiss of Care & Color and I think I might pick some up!
Looks like you got some great things. I’m a big fan of Nivea products and I think I even have that lip balm. Love their stuff!
Great box this go round!
My favorite mascara is Lancome – this box is really nice – I love to try new products! Checking them out!
Now that is a subscription box that I would happily pay $18 for. What a great box! Most of the subscription boxes I see are full of sample sized stuff and junk!
I love that shade of nail polish. It’s a perfect pastel shade for the upcoming Spring season!
How cool. What a great way to get samples at an affordable price. I am definitely tempted.
My favorite mascara is cover girl last blast volume.
I think the new box subscriptions trend is so much fun! I am not a big makeup person, so the beauty boxes are least appealing to me though.
I like the biore mask. but then, I love masks. haven’t tried that one!
I love those Biore masks! I use them frequently! I also love that color of nail polish!
Awesome! I want that ShineShadow! Great giveaway.

You got some amazing products and what a steal at that price! I need to decide on a subscription, because I’d love to try different products out to see what works best for me.

Love the color of that nail polish!

I need to add that mascara to my shopping list! I’ve heard such good things about it!
I haven’t found yet the right mascara for me. I am using Avon Mega Effects Mascara these days.
I love creme eyeshadows. Since you say this one has a lot of staying power, I’ll be stopping by the drugstore!
This birchbox looks great! I really like that pink polish, very springy!
I totally want that mascara. I have been lookin for it but my walmart is always out!!!! So yep me wants it!! Lol

Looks like you got a lot of good stuff in that box!
The Biore mask looked interesting.
The Nivea looks awesome. I loved Birchbox but canceled my subscription. This is a great line up.

I like the Biorè Strips.
I love using masks. I try to use one weekly, it helps me feel refreshed!
Looks like it turned out to be a great box. I’ve heard birchbox can be pretty hit or miss.

My daughter subscribes to Birchbox and she loves it! I know she would love the mascara. I don’t have any lashes so I don’t use any but maybe it might make mine look a little better. 🙂
I haven’t found one that I can say is my favorite.
Hi! Wow! What a great box!! My favorite mascara is the L’Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes. I’ve been wanting to try the Bombshell one too! Thank-you!

Love Benefit They’re real mascara
Oooh, shineshadows sounds really cool! I’d love a shadow packed with shimmer!
Love that nail color and that Mascara! I need to look into birchbox!
I don’t really have a favorite. SOmetimes I wear COvergirl, sometimes I use Avon, it all depends.
I haven’t used these products yet, going to have to look into them. I love the idea of having a facial mask though… end of day covering my face up in a mask .. o la la! Sounds relaxing.
I like the Organic Wear in Black
I don’t have a favorite mascara right now. I keep buying different kinds and trying them to find a new fav.

my last mascara was from Maybelline ,but i would llike to try something else…
My favorite mascara is L’oreal in black!
I would love to try the Frizz Ease. As I get older, I have noticed that my hair has more of a tendency to frizz on me. I would like to try an anti-frizz product, but I have been reluctant to, since my hair can be so naturally oily.
My favorite mascara is maybeline volume
thank you for this amazing giveaway!:D
