I know it’s hard to believe but six weeks ago I had no idea what Birchbox<\/a> was. In comes the Stylish Housewife<\/a> and I immediately signed up. I wasn’t the only one wanting a piece of the action so I had to wait. I got my invite and quickly filled out the profile and handed over my credit card number. SO there you know this is NOT a paid or compensated post. I’m just jumping on the bandwagon and doing what everyone else does. Why not?!<\/p>\n

I am sad to say that I am a bit bummed about my first box.<\/p>\n

Ghirardelli<\/strong> – I was pretty sure I was supposed to get 5 items to sample and I don’t consider a 0.20 piece of chocolate to be sample worthy. Yes, I liked it. I buy this brand of chocolate regularly. It’s cheap and a tiny notch above Hershey’s.<\/p>\n

Juicy Couture LaLa<\/strong> – I won’t run out and buy this, but it was pleasant and I will gladly use the entire sample.<\/p>\n

Dr. Jart + black label detox BB beauty balm<\/strong> – I will state the positive FIRST. I made my skin feel firm by the end of the day. However, the color made me look about 4 shades lighter than I actually am and the coverage wasn’t worth a dime. It made me look pastey and did nothing for my blemishes. Along with making my skin feel firm it also made it feel dry and uncomfortable. I will NEVER buy this.<\/p>\n

Beauty Protector – Protect and detangle<\/strong> – This alone was worth the box. I am in love. The smell is subtle but very pleasant and it made my hair soft, shiny and manageable. I haven’t used any heat on my hair this time but I plan to next time just to test that part of it. I sprayed it on after my shower and went to bed. My hair was pleasantly tame the next morning. After I finish the bottle I will most likely be ordering this and will be tempted to see what other products they have.<\/p>\n

Nail Polish by color Club Fiesta Collection in Wild Cactus<\/strong> – This was another one that made the box worth it. I get shellac on my hand so I had to test it on my toes. The coverage was amazing and I love green. When I was a little girl I wanted EVERYTHING to be “GEEN”. My toes thank you. They were tired of the purple\/pink shade that had been on them for a few weeks. So far I am happy with well it’s stayed on but then again my toes rarely chip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
