I introduced you to Birchbox the other day. Birchbox has the best points program. For every product I review, I receive 10 points. For every 100 points earned, I receive $10. The points expire one year from earned date. The money can be used towards products AND SHIPPING!!!!! I had $20 in credits and wanted to get something. Believe it or not, there are tons of products under $20. BUT the item I had my eye on was a Zoya Nail Polish: Special Blogger Edition. The colors in the pack are orange, pink, and pinky-reddish. Pink and reds are my favorite. I wasn't too fond of the orange. I had the credit, so I decided what the heck. I spent $2 for the collection since the polishs were free shipping this month.
I received the collection later part of last week. I tried out a Sally Hanson nail art thingy, so I didn't want to change it up yet. I finally let Andrew pick out the color I try first. I should have known what he would choose - the ORANGE!! I love the way the nail polish went on my nails, but did not like how many coats I needed for it to be noticable. However, it is considered to be a jelly nail polish. Anyway, I'm excited to try out the other colors within the next week!
Did I mention the day I painted my nails orange happens to be the day the Baltimore Orioles won? :)

Birchbox!!!
I love the beginning of the month. I also dislike the beginning of the month. Majority of our bills are due in the beginning of the month. BUT, I also get a nice treat in the beginning of the month: Birchbox. I love it!! The Birchbox website states: "Birchbox is the best way to discover new grooming, beauty and lifestyle products. Sample top products from high-end brands, get expert advice, buy new favorites and earn points with every purchase".
It all started when I found out my third was a boy. I wanted a girl so bad!! I couldn't wait to do all the girly things with my daughter. But as luck would have it, I had the most precious little baby boy. Colton is the most amazing little boy EVER and I would not change him for anything. I am 98% sure Jason and I are done having kids. I knew I needed to keep the "girly" in me so I promised myself I would keep up with my hair/nails and stay abreast of all the girly things in life. So hard to do with 3 little boys and a husband!! Then I found Birchbox.
I've received a few nail polishes, face wash, lotions/creams, make-up, hair products, and even accessories! I will start posting every month a picture of each of the items and a review later in the month once I've had a chance to try them.

Presentation is everything!! Birchbox really has that down! I usually hope for make-up or hair stuff. I tend to not like the higher priced face wash. I don't mind lotions. The extra this month was the XOXO post card. It's cute. I'm not sure when I'll use it though. I'll have to get creative.
From left to right: Ojon Volumizing Shampoo, Color Club Nail Polish in Disco Nap, Algenist Eye Renewal Balm, and Dr. Jart face cream.
Birchbox always provides a brief description with price for full size bottle. I always go right for the price - is that wrong? For example, the eye cream is $65 for a full size. I completed a survey in the beginning explaining I don't spend a lot of money on make-up, hair stuff... Even if I liked the product, the chances of me purchasing the product are slim. I made the mistake of not looking on the website to see how to use the product a few months ago. So, I'll be researching that tomorrow! :)
Product I'm most looking towards trying: THE NAIL POLISH!! I'm siked. I love nail polish. I've started a collection. Okay - who cares if my collection only has 5? Everyone has to start somewhere, right?? Because of Birchbox, I actually started using Zoya nail polish most of the time. I like the colors and the easy way the nail polish glides on my nails.
Product I'm least looking towards trying: face cream. I've never been a big face cream person. Apparently, this cream is a 4 in 1. It is a moisturizer, serum, sunscreen, and skin-perfecting tint. Do you know what else is a 4 in 1? My son's crib. Or maybe it's a 3 in 1. Either way, I'm not so sure of products boasting about having multiple benefits.
