The product I am most excited about it the Sumita Color Contrast Eyeliner. It goes for $11. I got the Jamun (Deep Purple) color, which I love! I've only tried it out once so far, but I am a fan. Goes on nice and smooth, doesn't seem to smudge to easily. This makes me happy since I have been stuck on the same eyeliner for years, Wet n' Wild because it was the only one I could get to stay on. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to last long. Hopefully this eyeliner does the trick! I'm also happy that it is purple. I usually only wear black eyeliner, but this might be a nice transition color for me.
The other product I am truly excited about this month is the Color Club Nail Lacquer from Gala's Gems Collection. A set of 4 is $13, which I can get on board with. I got the Breakfast at... color. I have more recently gotten into nail polishes, and this is a nice addiction to my new collection. I tend to purchase more pink and red colors, so I was happy to get the green color that I might not have picked out on my own.
This next product, I also enjoy because I think I will actually use it. I got the Supergoop! City Sunscreen Serum. It goes for $20-42 for a full-size. I am a fan of anything sunscreen, especially for the face. I don't like putting regular sunscreens on my face because they tend to make my face feel like it is burning, especially when mixed with pool chemicals when I go swimming. So, hopefully this works well for me. I won't try it out until later in the year when it is actually sunny outside here in Wisconsin!
The rest of the stuff in my Birchbox I found to be "meh...". For instance the N.4 Lumiere d'hiver Clarifying Shampoo. Sorry, shampoo just doesn't excite me. Especially when a full bottle of it goes for $32! I can't imagine spending that much on one bottle of shampoo, but that's just me. Unless it magically styles my hair for me when I get out of the shower. A N.4 Lumiere d'hiver Reconstructing Masque came along with it as well. This stuff is supposed to purify and restore lost moisture and shine. I've always had pretty oily hair, so moisture doesn't seem like a real issue for me....
My least favorite item is the KIND Healthy Grains Gluten Free Non GMO Granola Bar. 15 of these cost $11.88. Not bad pricing at all. I got the Maple Pumpkin Seeds with Sea Salt flavor. I would have preferred the chocolate flavor. I am not a big fan of granola. I have heard that these are good, but they just aren't really my thing. Plus, this particular flavor just doesn't interest me at all. Not really sure why I got it either since I asked to not receive snacks in my Birchbox. So that was a little disappointing
That was my Birchbox for this month. Like I said, not my favorite, but oh well. Looking forward to May's Birchbox and I hope it is more exciting for me!
