March 2014 Birchbox Review

Here are my March 2014 Birchbox goodies!

My favorite thing is probably the Jergens BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream.  This was included in the Birchbox as a Birchbox Find Alert. It is made for all light skin tones, which is perfect for my incredibly fair skin!  I also have rather dry skin, especially this time of year, so I have a feeling I will get some use out of this product!  I've tried it a couple of times now and so far, so good.  I also happen to rather enjoy the scent.

The next thing I like is the COOLA Tinted Matte SPF 30.  A Full-size of this is $36.  It is an unscented mineral sunscreen. I haven't actually tried it out yet.  I am waiting for a day when its nice enough to spend some time outside. Being in Wisconsin right now, those days are few and far between. Otherwise, I kinda feel like I am wasting it if I use it on an indoor day. I do hope that it isn't too dark for my fair skin!

Next up is the Air Repair Rescue Balm All Purpose Skin Salve & Lip Balm.  Full-size is $12.  I tried this out on my very dry and cracked hands and it was SUPER greasy!  It did seem to heal up my skin some, but I really didn't care for  how greasy it was.  That has deterred me from actually using it again.  When I first got it, I was sad that the sample was so small, but I think the amount I got will actually go quite far. A little bit seems to go a long way.

I also got the How 'Bout Them Apples? Cheek and Lip Cream from theBalm.  A full size of it goes for $32. I got the Pie "flavor".  It also comes in Cider, Cobbler, Crisp, Candy and Caramel.  Since I already have naturally rosy cheeks, I doubt I will be using it there much.  I think I will enjoy it as a lip cream though! I don't think I will be spending the $32 on a full-size though.

My least favorite thing in this month's Birchbox was the Beauty Protector Protect and Detangle. It is a leave-in conditioner going for $21.95 for a full-size.  I have tried dry shampoos and leave-in conditioners in the past and haven't gotten good results.  It says that it locks in color, protects from heat damage and adds silkiness.  I don't color my hair and it is pretty fine naturally, so I don't really have a problem with lack of silkiness.  In fact,  have gotten compliments on its softness and all I typically do to it is wash it and out hair spray in it (usually to keep the bangs in place!). So, the only benefit I might get from this is the heat protection, since I do blow dry my hair and use a curling iron often.   Maybe this is totally different than what I have experienced before and I may give it a try once or twice, but I think this one might be given to someone else or used for a giveaway either on here or my Youtube channel at some point.

That's it for my March 2014 Birchbox! Thanks for reading and check out my Youtube videos if you want to see my dorky face while you get the same information that you just read! :)
