BIRCHBOX Tea Order (40% off Winter Sale) ♥

The online Birchbox shop is amazing.

Full size cosmetics of course but they also carry 'Lifestyle', Home and Food products.

They are currently having a 40% off Winter Sale.

I browsed around and didn't think to get anything but quite the Tea selection.

...and I LOVE tea ♥

I couldn't help the sale price so I purchased a box of Organic Spring Jasmine Tea.

A first look.

Even their purchase orders come in a cute box--polka dots on the inside!

Is it weird that I get excited over that?

Check this out!

A surprise bonus item!

Fatty Sunday's Chocolate Covered Pretzel

Milk chocolate + Crunchy toffee on a pretzel.

These little bonus items make me so happy♫

However I am not a fan of the salt+sweet products.

I am also not a fan of Toffee... :( So I passed this along to my husband who was pretty excited about it. yay!

Mighty Leaf Sample Pack - 3 samples

And that's not all!  Another bonus Tea sample pack!

I received a sample pack in a previous order as well.

Luckily, these are all 3 new flavors.

Bombay Chai, Organic Spring Jasmine and Chocolate Mint Truffle.

Gotta admit...that chocolate one scares me.

What the heck could a chocolate tea taste like?

I'll still try it though.

Mighty Leaf - Organic Spring Jasmine - 15 pouches

Here is my actual order.

Jasmine tea is one of my favorites and I wanted to try this brand.

$9.95 on sale for 40% off $5.97

Here is what the Mighty Leaf pouches look like.

It's super cute!! They come in a cute mesh baggie ♥

This particular pouch is from my previous tea sample.

The flavor was Ginger Twist.

It was yummy.

Free Mystery Samples

Camille Beckham Platinume Gold Imperial Repair Hand Therapy

A hand cream with Lemongrass Vert & Sparkling Grapefruit.

I smell a hint of vanilla in there somewhere.

SeaRx Birchsap Moisturizing Lotion

ugh...I received this same sample in my ipsy bag a few months ago.

The only reason I don't like this product is because there is a specific warning for it NOT to be used by anyone pregnant, nursing, or thinking of becoming pregnant.

That just terrifies me...what is in it that is potentially harmful?

So I'm super happy with my tea purchase, the bonus tea samples and bonus pretzel for my husband.

The mystery samples were 'meh' this time around.

I like the hand cream but the seaRx is a dud.

But no complaints of course since the samples were free ♥

BIRCHBOX order... ♥

So I ordered a couple items from the Birchbox store with my points.

Free 2-day shipping and it was delivered today!

yay!

the Balm Cosmetics Cindy-Lou Manizer

I received a small sample of this in my November box and fell in love!!

I knew right away I would be needing the full size so as soon as I had enough points, I got it.

It's super cute--comes with a compact mirror ♥

I like to use this as an eye shadow/highlighter and an all over glow.  

The color is perfect for my skin color.

This baby in full size costs $24.00

Ahmad Tea London Bus Caddy

Currently on Birchbox, if you spend over $35.00 you can add a Mystery Sample pack...

so I added this Tea can to my order.

This was $5.29

It comes in a super cute can that turns into a piggy bank (there's a coin slot on top) 

AND 25 bags of  Earl Grey tea which I love ♥

FREE Mystery Sample Pack

I received a sample of omni Potent Duosity Hair treatment in a foil packet.

Since I have so much hair this is probably good for one use.

Also a perfume sample of Juicy Couture in Viva La Juicy.

It's one of those tiny sprays but all you really need is 1 spray.

This will last me a bit...and my husband liked the smell.

This was an awesome after-Christmas surprise package.

And it shows just how awesome the Birchbox shop is ♥
