BIRCHBOX order ♥

suki exfoliate foaming cleanser

It was finally time for me to order a full size of this exfoliating scrub.

This is amazing--it's my absolute favorite face scrub!

I tried a sample of this and fell in love.

It exfoliates, it foams and it smells so good.

$32.95 for FULL SIZE

BAGGU 3D Zip small bag

I needed to spend a few more dollars in order to use a coupon code so I added this cute bag.

I already have the tote so I got this small pouch in the same pattern.

$8.00 for FULL SIZE

Mystery Sample Pack

WELEDA hydrating body lotion - citrus

jouer lip gloss in Birchbox Pink

Always add the free mystery sample pack!

I received these in my order.

Total value was about $2

Swatch of the lip gloss.

So I used my 300 pts and ended up paying only $5.58 for this order!

Super awesome ♥

BIRCHBOX Limited Edition ::Under The Sun Box:: ♥

The latest and greatest Limited Edition box by Birchbox is here!

This box sells for $55. (I used points and a coupon code)

I present you the 'Under The Sun' Box ♥

I have to say, this is the best box yet!

The 'Under The Sun' & 'Birchbox + BabyGap' boxes are so far my absolute favorites.

My free mystery sample and the 'Under The Sun' box.

I am now at Ace status so shipping was free and was delivered in 2 days.

Awesome.

FREE SAMPLES

theBalm staniac lip and cheek stain - *beauty queen*

This is a repeat sample for me but I love all lip products.

I might even pass this onto my sister if she wants!

My Sample Value 0.04oz $2.26 

(Full size value $17.00 for 0.3oz)

Miss Jessie's Super Sweetback Hair Treatment Mask

Miss Jessie's is a brand (I think) specifically for curly  hair.

This is my second product by Miss Jessie's and I wonder why I keep getting these curly hair products.

I don't have curly hair.

But upon reading reviews on this, people love it and they say it makes your hair glossy, healthy, shiny, etc.  It doesn't mention anything specific about curly hair so I will give this a try.

A decent size too!

My Sample Value 2oz $3.00

(Full size value $24.00 for 16oz)

The box is designed with what looks to be a banana leaf or a palm tree?

Either way, it fits the theme perfectly.

The info card.

A first look.

Waaah! This screams summer!

Knockaround Premium Sunglasses + case

Sunglasses are a hit or miss for me.

I have a hard time finding one that fits my face perfectly, particularly the nose bridge.

I have a very small nose bridge so a lot of them tend to fall down and not stay put.

These ones are ok.  I can wear them a bit low on my nose otherwise they get too close to my 'face' that my eyelashes will brush against the lens everytime I blink.

Ugh...Asian problems I guess.

I think the red lenses are cool ♥

My Item Value $14.60 (Full size!)

Chloe+Isabel Medina Convertible Pendant necklace (Birchbox Exclusive)

I was ooh-ing and aah-ing over this.

I actually don't own any necklaces at the moment and so I was ooh-ing all over this.

It's super cute! Simple and stylish.

I'll have to be super careful though because baby L likes to pull on everything.

My Item Value $38.00 (Full size!)

Sugarpova gummy candy - *Flirty*

Wow, I got some candy!

Anyone who knows me KNOWS that I'm a candy girl.

Big time!

I especially love gummy candies too.

First thing I opened were these candies.

Let me tell you, these are delicious!! 

It's fruity and sweet and tastes really good. 

I don't think I've had candy with a flavor like these.

Truly unique.  It's also gluten free if you can believe that.

My Item Value $5.00 (Full size!)

Supergoop! Mineral Soothing Sunscreen SPF 40

I've had a few sunscreen samples but I've used them all up.

This travel size was just what I needed.

Must. protect. skin.

My Item Value $11.67 (Travel Size)

ncLA Swim Club nail polish - *bikinis and martinis*

I love the bottle and the shade is a peachy pink.

I'm wearing it right now!

It's quite transparent so I had to do 2 coats.

My Item Value $16.00 (Full size!)

Laura Mercier Baked Eye Colour - *Cameo*

This is a very light shade, almost the same as my skin tone.

This will be good for days that I don't wear too much make up but a light natural look.

(swatch below)

My Item Value $24.00 (Full size!)

Cynthia Rowley multi blush  & bronzer stick duo

This is probably going to be used the least...

The blush is super pink and a bit too intense...

And the bronzer is really dark too.

My Item Value $24.00 (Full size!)

BAGGU Tote Bag - *Elephant*

Yay!!!

There were 2 variations for this.  You either got the sailor stripes or the elephant.

Lucky me, I got the Elephant which was the one I wanted.

This tote is very big!  I had K sit next to it for scale.

It can hold up to 50lbs or 3 full grocery bags.

My Item Value $9.00 (Full size!)

Wow guys, EVERY item was a Full Size Item (except for the sunscreen which was a Travel Size).

This is the best box yet. (Along with the BabyGap box)

The total value of this box (roughly) comes to $142.27.

With the free samples I received the total comes to $147.53.

I used a coupon code and some points and ultimately paid $27.78.

I love that the box included many NON-beauty items like jewelry, accessories and even candy!

I loved the variation and felt that this was perfectly curated for a 'summer' box.

I'm loving this box!  

What I like most about it is that they are including non-beauty products as well.

The pendant necklace is really cute and even though I don't wear necklaces, I would totally wear this one.  I really like the sunglasses as well.

And a bag of candy??? MmmM!! I'm a candy girl♥

I didn't hesitate much and purchased this box right away.

Along with a 20% discount code and 200 points, my total came down to $27.78.

Oh Birchbox, you are amazing.

My box already shipped and since I'm an ACE now, shipping was free.

Should get here very soon.

Citrus Lane - Mystery MOM Box ♥

As you may know, Citrus lane is a baby/kids box subscription.

We love it! The kiddos have been introduced to all sorts of new and unique toys.

I normally post CL unboxings on my baby blog but this one is different.

Often times, CL with have a 'Mystery Box Sale'.

Usually for 50% off and I've bought a few.  They are awesome!

Well this time around, they also featured a few Mystery Mom Boxes ♥

I've never purchased a mom box via CL so I decided to try one out.

I posted this here because it included a few beauty items.

They were very limited and sold out right away.

The Mom Boxes were $30 50% off for $15.

A first look.

Citrus Lane $10 off coupon code (on order of $30 or more)

A $10 off coupon--however I don't think I'll be using it.

Baby L just had his first birthday and we received a lot of toys!

I'll wait to see 

Back To Nature - Mini Chocolate Chunk Cookies

My son K and I ate the cookies right away. hahaha!

They were delicious.

I've never had this brand before but their products are made using simple natural ingredients.

Doesn't contain artificial flavors, preservatives, hydrogenated oils or high fructose corn syrup.

Which is surprising because it tasted just as good as any other cookie out there.

Retails for $1.00

Back To Nature - Honey Graham Sticks

We opened these too.

Also very yummy and K loved it.

Retails for $1.00

Juice Beauty - Nutrient Moisturizer

This is my 5th Juice Beauty product I've received across my boxes.

No duplicates though, surprisingly.

I haven't seen this one yet.  It's a face moisturizer. 

(I have a face serum already..what's the difference? hmmm)

Retails for $9.00

pur-lisse - daily lip moisturizer

I have a pur-lisse sunscreen and I thought this was another one.

But nope! This is a lip nourisher and omg..this size retails for $16.00?!

Now that's expensive.

Retails for $16.00

Pangea Organics - Facial Toner *french rosemary & sweet orange*

ooo I'm excited to try this! 

It's a spray facial toner.

The scent is supposed to be effective too, kinda like aromatherapy.

Retails for $13.00

Jasmine Seven - fresh feet wipes 10 wipes

Another new product for me.

Meant for refreshing dirty yucky feet during the summer.

After wearing flip flops all day, I can totally understand.

I've had to wash my feet in the tub before from getting dirty.

These will be convenient to have.

I have a pack for kids as well.

Retails for $3.31

Baggu - Turquoise Baggu (holds up to 50lbs)

This was the one item I knew I was getting.

I picked this turquoise color and I love it!

The bag is also way bigger than I imagined.

(There's an even bigger one you can get)

Holds up to 50lbs or 3 full grocery bags.

Retails for $9.00

So in total, this mystery mom box's value comes to $52.31 and I paid $15.

I'm satisfied!  And I'm glad none of the beauty products were dupes. YAY!

I thought they would include more mom & baby related items but this is cool.

Now I know what to expect.

I don't think I'll purchase any more Mom Boxes if they have more though.
