Here's a picture of my box the day I received it:
I received some winners and some losers in my March box. I ended up getting rid of the keims shampoo sample as it contained Macadamia oil which I am allergic to. I also didn't end up using the Jurlique samples as brightening is not one of my main skin concerns.
The big winners in this box for me are the body lotion and the eyeliner. The lotion is so luxurious and I love using it on my hands when they're dry. I haven't tried it on my legs yet (that's pretty much the only place I ever apply lotion on my body) but I'm sure it's just as nice there! It's lightweight and has a pleasant, herbal scent, plus it absorbs quickly so your skin won't feel greasy. The eyeliner is fantastic, it's a beautiful metallic mint green color and the color is bright and noticeable when applied. It applies easily, the pencil is very smooth, and it comes with a pencil sharpener cap.
This was a fairly short review but there are more coming soon! This was a pretty cut and dry Birchbox, nothing really exciting and nothing really revolutionary, but the eyeliner was full-size and the lotion is large so I'll get a lot of use out of it.
To go on a bit of a rant, I feel like Birchbox needs to reanalyze style profiles, and needs a way to specify if you're allergic to beauty product ingredients as I've repeatedly received either beauty products with tree nut oil or food extras containing nuts. It's getting seriously annoying, and because of it I end up throwing away at least one product almost every month. I'll try giving the products to my friends to test from now on just so I can review them, but it's getting old. Just a thought, hope you enjoyed this short but sweet review!
