Birchbox February 2012

Just a tad underwhelmed with my BirchBox this month. Doesn't mean I don't like BB or I will be dropping them, I know you can't please everyone but the vast differences in boxes this month was a tad outrageous. I got a box that most people were unhappy about. I was just wishing for one thing that I didn't receive, but that is ok. Like I said, you can't win them all, it just makes me all that more excited.

I received box #10. I was under the impression (was tweeted about this) that I would get something "extra special" this month but wasn't told that it was for certain members, was a little upset about that, but I will live.

Here is what was inside:


Lets go through each individual item:

LA Fresh Eco-Beauty Waterproof Makeup Remover - $2.22

I took these on a trip with me and these were terrible. They left my skin feeling so oily that I had to wash my face after and it still felt oily. I would never repurchase these.


2 Heart Nail Files - $?
These are so cute and such a great extra for Valentines day. I am one of those weird people that hate's the feelings of things and this is one of them, eesh. Since I have 2, I am saving one for the February Giveaway!


BENTA BERRY G-1 Moisturizing Face Cream - $2.20
My little card says that the full size of this is $110, but when I login to BB, it says $22, so the heart attack is over. This also says that it regulates oil levels on the face, which I don't have oily skin so I am not sure why this was sent to me. It does feel nice and smells awesome.


Eye Rock Designer Liner - $6.50
These are a rather interesting concept. Not too excited about them, I will try them but I don't have many high hopes.


colorescience pro® Pressed Mineral Foundation - $6.19
Not too sure about this either, I don't typically wear face make up. Maybe I will save it for a slight chance that I want to.
The breakdown:
Bag: BirchBox Februray 2012
Price: $10.00
Monetary Value: $17.11
Keeping subscription?: Yes.

As you can tell, this box was not fascinating in the least. I think this might have been my least monetary value in which I have ever gotten from BB. Now, I am not complaining because it does still cover my $10 that I paid but for the people that got boxes worth $30 and up, it's a bummer that we got these little ones.

Hi Vee! I did a look using the Eye Rock eyeliners that I got in my Birchbox. Here 's the link to the blog http://rusticcomfort.blogspot.com/2012/02/new-loo...

I liked them. They felt weird on my eyelids at first but I got used to them. I was even brave enough to apply them without watching the Birchbox tutorial and did okay.

WOW! They look awesome on you!! I didn't know there was a video, whoops haha

I tried mine today, I liked them, but I also didn't like them. I mean, they were MUCH better than I expected. I did my right eye first and it was awesome. I did it in one try, the part where my tear duct was wouldn't stay down so I just glued it. But then I did my left eye and it wouldn't stay on for anything.

I did a whole look so I am making a post about it, but it won't be up for a few weeks.

I really like them on you, so cute!
Thanks!! I ran into the same problem you did near my tear duct, my right eye went on great but the left eye kept lifting and I had to keep using the end of my tweezers to push it back.
How were they coming off for you? Phew! They sure acted like they were stuck when I pulled them off *ouch* I might order more because I kinda like them :-)
I saved mine, I wouldn't see why they wouldn't be reusable? Can't wait to see the blog post!
