BIRCHBOX #2 ::Beauty Solutions Box:: Contents for May 2015 ♥

The second edition of the 'Beauty Solutions' series.

This was the featured box this month.

I reserved this box on one account and made a sample choice on my other account.

The box design is the same as the previous 'Beauty Solutions' but a different color.

Cute and simple♥

The info card.

A first look.

Birchbox put together a featured box including beauty-solving products.

Number 4 Blow Dry Lotion

Awww♥ First, check out that duck on a floatie.  He's super cute.

Apply this 'serum' to your damp hair before dry blowing.

Should create a smoother finish.

I don't blow dry my hair but this works as a heat protectant so I applied this to my hair before straightening it today.  Smells great!

My Sample Value $6.40 for 30ml

(Full size value $32.00 for 150ml)

JUARA Candlenut Body Creme

A body cream to help dry rough skin.

I'd love to use this on my whole body but the sample is small...I will limit using this for my hands.

My Sample Value $1.72 for .34oz

(Full size value $38.00 for 7.5oz)

Marcelle Hydra-C 24H Energizing Hydrating Gel

So I received this product in both of my boxes this month.

After using it this morning, I love it and very happy to have 2 of them.

My Sample Value $3.36 for .24oz

(Full size value $24.00 for 1.7oz)

CoTZ Flawless Complexion SPF50

A lightly tinted sunscreen for your face.

It's a bigger sample than my Supergoop!

The tint is very sheer but I look forward to using this.

I don't like using heavily tinted BB creams and CC creams.

This might be the one!

My Sample Value $1.45 for .18oz

(Full size value $20.00 for 2.5oz)

W3LL PEOPLE The Expressionist Mascara

AAAaaah my new favorite brand.

W3LL PEOPLE is an all-natural brand.  I reserved this 'Beauty Solutions' box after seeing this mascara being offered.  A high end brand too from seeing their prices.

This will be added to my mascara queue.

My Sample Value $11.75 for half size

(Full size value $23.50)

This month I loved both boxes.

All products are amazing and will be used.

I really enjoy their 'Beauty Solutions' series... I'm curious to know if they will be continuing it.

The total value of this month's featured box (roughly) comes to $24.68

BIRCHBOX Limited Edition ::Birchbox + babyGap box:: ♥

The Birchbox + babyGap limited edition box was released on the 17th(?) 

and I received my order just 2 days later.

As always, you can add a mystery sample pack to any order $35+.

I also used a code to redeem a 'gift with purchase over $35'.

They all shipped separately so I ended up with 3 boxes to open which I don't mind at all♥

I also used my reward points that I've been saving up. 

The Birchbox + babyGap box sells for $48 but after points, I only paid $18 plus tax!

This is why I love Birchbox♥

Mystery Sample Pack

My mystery sample pack this time included:

(another) SeaRx Moisturizing Lotion ($2.10 value)

theBalm Stainiac cheek & lip stain in *beauty queen* ($2.26 value)

Free Gift with Purchase

TONI&GUY Hair Meets Wardrobe Kit

TONI&GUY Sea Salt Texturising Spray

This is a full size!! And I tried it out and it's awesome.

($15.00 value)

TONI&GUY Classic Shine Gloss Serum

I love gloss serums and I'm really happy with this ♥

($15.00 value)

Bonus Items

Mighty Leaf Tea set - 3 bags (x2)

Also, both the mystery sample pack & TONI&GUY kit included a bonus tea pack!

So in total, I received 6 Mighty Leaf tea bags ♥

So awesome!  And I love their teas.

($3.98 value)

These are just extra items...I haven't even started on the actual box yet!

But here we go.

The box was smaller than I had imagined.

I assumed the onesies would take up some space and I'm still surprised they all fit in this box.

o, the box...it's so pretteh~♫

A first look.

The info card.

Wow wow wow!!

This is absolutely my number one favorite limited box by Birchbox.

If you are expecting, or just became a new mother..this box is heaven!

(Although, even if you're not expecting, this box is quite enjoyable.  This would be a great baby shower gift too!)

Soap and Paper Factory Farmacie Hand Cream - *Calendula*

I've never heard this brand before and I think it's new to BB as well.

I really like the design and style of the product.

FULL SIZE - $16.00 value

Whish Three Wishes Body Butter - *Lavender*

So I just received the *almond* version of this in my monthly box and the scent was too strong.

But this one is really good!  I was worried it would be too strong again but it's not.

I really love this one and check out the dispenser.

I prefer this over a squeeze tube.  Very well designed.

$8.00 Value

(Full size value $24.00)

Not Soap, Radio Body Wash - *To sleep full of sweet dreams (without waking up in a mad panic at 3 am)*

This is my second sampling of this brand body soap.

I love the formula but I prefer the other scent I received which was a more berry, fruity smell.

$1.76 Value

(Full size value $16.00)

amika Nourishing Hair Mask

I also sampled this one in my monthly box last month!

It did amazing things to my hair so I'm happy to have it again!

And the package designs are just so cute♥

$4.80 Value

(Full size value $40.00)

suki exfoliate foaming cleanser

I'm using this next!  I'm just about done with my borghese scrub.

Really looking forward to this one.

$8.25 Value

(Full size value $32.95)

W3LL PEOPLE Bio Extreme Lipgloss - *Berry*

Oooo~ mesmerized.

I've seen this brand at Pharmaca and was always curious to try.

They are a bit pricey though.

Very pretty color and it's all the way natural and organic.

FULL SIZE - $23.50 (wow!)

babyGap PersonaliTees Bodysuits - 3-pack size 6-12 months

And the main attraction!

Just look at these--they make me smile ^_^

It comes in a cute "babyGap" bag and each shirt has an emoji expression.

'happy' 'sleepy' 'hungry'

baby L just turned 1 and I'm afraid these might be small...but I gave it a good stretch and I think they might fit!  

These are just too darn cute ♥♥

$25.00 Value

Like I mentioned earlier, this is the best box ever.

Right up my alley.

And not to mention the value of this box.

I paid only $18 plus tax (after using points) and the total value (roughly) comes to $117.31.

And that's NOT including my bonus items and samples.

If I include the bonus items, etc., the total value jumps to $125.65.

Just amazing.  

BB knows how to put together great boxes.  I'm wow-ed!

I'm off to enjoy my new goodies!

NEW BIRCHBOX Limited Edition Box ::Birchbox + babyGap:: ♥

Squeeee♥♥!!

An amazing new limited edition box is now available on Birchbox.

It's the Birchbox + babyGap limited edition box!

I've been excited about this since the early sneak peeks.

This is one that I'm definitely getting ♥

As a mom to 2 kiddos, this box is calling my  name.

This box will include:

amika Nourishing Hair Mask

Not Soap, Radio Body Wash - 'To sleep full of sweet dreams (without waking up in a mad panic at 3am)

Soap and Paper Factory Farmacie Hand Cream - Calendula

suki exfoliate foaming cleanser

babyGap PersonaliTees Bodysuits - 3pack (plus a cute bag♥)

Box is $48.00

awww the onesies are so adorable! The size we receive will be 6-12months.

It most definitely will be too small for baby L (he's 12 months but he's a biggie...)

I will hang onto them though for if/when we have baby #3♥

Also, the beauty items are fantastic!

I'm especially stoked for the W3LL PEOPLE lipgloss.

I've been dying to try them out.  I see their products at Pharmaca all the time.
