March Birchbox Review

Hello all, it's that time again. This month I got a spring-themed Birchbox, with products to ease the transition from winter to warmer months (who am I kidding- we're all chomping at the bit for beach season). If you haven't already, head over to Birchbox.com to embark on your very own monthly beauty journey!

Here's a look at what I got:

February Birchbox Review

Hello friends! If you've never heard of Birchbox, it's a monthly beauty sample subscription. In essence, you pay a fee of $10 a month, and receive a box every month with 5 beauty samples delivered to your door. The products range in size from sample-size to full-size. You then have the option of purchasing the full-size version of the sample via their website.

What I like most about the Birchbox program is that you have the option to review your samples the month you receive them. For each sample you review, you're awarded ten "thank you" points. When you accumulate 100 points (the equivalent of 10 product reviews), you receive $10 off the purchase of a full-size item in the Birchbox online store! I did the math- if you review each item you receive in a given month, you'll earn 50 points. Thus after two months of review, you'll have earned $10 off! I currently have $30 worth of these "thank you" points sitting in my account that I intend to cash in shortly!

Ruby Wing// Color Changing Polish (in “Kitten Heels”) $10.00 Full Size

http://www.birchbox.com/shop/ruby-wing-nail-polish

This nail polish is supposed to change color between natural light and indoor light (from pink inside to a darker red outside). I didn’t find this to be the case. It was a uniform hot pink color both indoors and outdoors. I find the color-changing to be gimmicky anyway- I don’t see the point in my polish looking different in sunlight, so I wasn’t too disappointed. That being said, I was satisfied with the quality of this polish, and actually thought that the hot pink color I ended up with was very pretty (it’s pretty true to the color it appears in the bottle). I would recommend this brand on color and quality alone, but can’t say it does what it advertises.   

Here's what it looked like on my toes in the shade versus in the sun:
