february birchbox

Just like last month, I am way behind on the posting for February's Birchbox. In fact, March's will probably follow this week. But just because I am behind does not mean I am not going to share with you what I got. I'll also throw in a review or two.



-Color Club Nail Polish in Wild Cactus
"Shoo away winter blues with this on-trend emerald nail polish."

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten to try this nail polish yet (could have something to do with the long-lasting manicures I have gotten), but I really like the color and think it will be making a regular appearance this summer.

-Skin& Co Roma
Cleansing Body Gel with Olive and Sicilian Orange Extracts
"You won't be able to go back to regular soap after trying this freshly scented, antioxidant-packed shower gel from Rome."

I've tried this a few times, and while it certainly smells amazing, I am never going to think it is worth it to spend more than $5 on bodywash.

-Dr. Jart+ Black Label Detox Beauty Balm
"From the brand that brought BB creams to the U.S., this gold-standard formulation has mineral SPF 25 and a satiny-matte finish."

I was really excited to see this product in my box as I have been wanting to try a BB cream for a long time, I just didn't know which to chose with so many out there. Having nothing to compare it to I will say that I really liked it. I think it could easily replace moisturizer and foundation on the weekend, summer, or whenever you have to get ready in a hurry. It seemed to stay on my face for most of the day as well and left a fairly matte finish. I will say I am disappointed in the sample size- there was hardly more than 1 use in the bottle- so I didn't get the luxury of trying this product multiple days in multiple conditions. Thus I can't say for sure I would buy this specific product as it is  quite pricey ($36 full size), and I don't feel I got enough of a test run with it.

-Twistband Thick Headband 
"Made with soft elastic, these colorful bands keep hair out of your face without any creasing or tugging." 

Pretty standard, but definitely useful to have. 

-Not pictured,Ghiradelli Milk & Caramel Square

Clearly tasty as it didn't even make the picture, although it was a little disappointing that this counted as my 5th item.
