My Lovely Day Box arrived today...finally!
Shipping took longer than usual and was delivered via UPS.
This order includes the Limited Edition 'Lovely Day Box', an Illume Candle and a Mystery Sample Pack (free with a $35+ purchase).
The 'Lovely Day Box' is $62, the candle was $11+ and all I paid was $3.64!
This is why I love Birchbox ♥
I will explain how I used my Birchbox points at the end.
Bonus Item
Mighty Leaf Tea Set - 3 pouches
This has been the bonus item for a while now.
I've received them in just about every purchase order since last November.
Since I love tea, this is a nice bonus.
Free Mystery Sample Pack
You can always add a Free 'Mystery Sample' on orders over $35.
I received:
V76 by Vaughn Energizing Shampoo/Conditioner Foil Samples
Camille Beckman Platinume Gold Hand Therapy Lotion
The lotion is a repeat but I've never tried the shampoo/conditioner.
I'm curious as to what they mean by 'Energizing' shampoo/conditioner.
Add-on Purchase
Illume Monogram Boxed Votive - Letter "I"
So I'll explain here--I had 600+ points to spend.
When you redeem your points for purchase, you can only use them in increments of 100's.
And since I had 600+ points, I HAD to use 600 points. (no less)
So I added the Lovely Box, used a 20% off code then added this candle so I could get full advantage of the 600 points. My total came to $63.64. I redeemed $60 in points and paid only $3.64!!
This candle is a Soy Candle, very cute and smells great!
I picked "I" for Ivy of course♥
The 'Lovely Box'.
The info card.
A first look.
This box was packed! Lots of goodies.
Rituals Foaming Shower Gel - Fresh Eucalyptus & Rosemary
I've never tried anything like this before.
A foaming shower gel. I have a feeling I'm going to like it!
My item value $3.75
(Full size value $15.00)
Caudalie Radiance Serum Complexion Correcting
This product helps to fade and even out dark spots.
My item value $26.34
(Full size value $79.00)
Living Proof. Nightcap Overnight Perfector
Another 'new' kind of product for me.
'Beauty sleep for your hair'.
You apply this to your damp hair at night before bed, then wash it out in the morning OR style in the morning. This should leave your hair smooth and glossy.
Now this is my kind of product.
My item value $7.00
(Full size value $28.00)
Nails Inc. Gel Effect Nail Polish - in *Porchester Square* and *Mayfair Lane*
I think these shades are adorable!
They are like a pastel gray and pink.
I'm currently wearing my ipsy nail polish now but I'll use these next!
My item value $8.60 x2
(Full size item $15.00 x2)
Davines Anti Aging Hand Cream
I'm only familiar with their Hair care products so I was surprised to see that this hand cream was by Davines. It's quite large and it will be a while before I use this. I have quite the collection of unopened hand creams at the moment.
My item value $14.00 (Full size!)
Illume Demi Perfume - *Coconut Milk Mango*
This is a rollerball perfume. I almost prefer this application over the sprays.
Smells just like it--coconut and mango.
I like it!
My item value $14.00 (full size!)
Cargo Blush - *cannes*
A very 'cute' blush with an orange undertone.
I know this will last me a long time.
My item value $26.00 (full size!)
jouer Lipstick - *meg*
This was an interesting shade for me.
It looks more coral in my swatch (below) but when I applied it to my lips, they came out much lighter. Pretty well pigmented too so it lightened my lip color.
This will be great on days that I use very little make up.
My item value $24.00 (full size!)
Greenleaf Candle Tin - *Bella Freesia*
This is quite large and it smells very nice.
I read some reviews and some people thought the smell was too strong and smelled like perfume.
I didn't find it strong...and the smell is mild. Not strong for me.
However, I did not light this up yet so maybe it smells stronger lit up?
My item value $10.00 (full size!)
Harney & Sons Wrapped Tea Sachets - 7 sachets
Wow, look at all of these tea bags!
Some of them sound a bit crazy...but I'll promise to try them all out.
My item value $3.36
(Full size value $9.95 for 20 sachets)
I thought this box was very well curated for all the Moms out there.
I like the addition of non-beauty products as well, such as the candle and tea set.
The total value of this Limited Edition box (roughly) comes to $145.65.
Including all bonuses, add-ons, the total is $161.07.
I only paid $3.64 out of pocket so this was the deal of all deals!
Now I'm off to enjoy some of my new products.
yay!
