This box total came to $24.63 which is good but I kind of wish I had a different selection of items the only really new item for me was the Hot Mama blush. I already received the shampoo, perfume and face cream in previous boxes. I am happy to get more of the face cream since I do plan on buying the full size in the future, I do like the perfume but I haven't tried the shampoo yet. The Lashem sample is going to be good for travel because I already have the full size from my Beauty Army account. Overall this box is fairly good but I hope I don't get so many duplicate samples in the future.

Just to give you the impression of how little there was in my box here is what all my samples look without the extra packaging. I could put all of these in my pocket and forget they were there (if I did that I would be sad.)

The total value of this box is $17.81, it isn't a high value box but I am happy to be trying the face cream because I haven't found one that I like enough to buy. The Harvey Prince perfume Skinny Chic is really lovely and I rate it up there with Hello which is my favorite perfume by far. I am always excited to get more nail polish and I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't have a dupe for this in my collection already. I love the balm. I have several of their products and I love them all and I can't wait to see how this compares to my Urban Decay primers. Now the last item is the Ojon hair oil, I honestly don't know what to say about getting this sample since it is so small. I might be able to use it once so I am going to save it for when I go to Paris instead of bringing one of my larger bottles with me. Other than the size disappointment I am excited to try some new products.

October Birchbox #1 & #2

October Birchbox

 So I know this is a really late post but in October I was in the middle of a move and was unable to get my October Birchboxes delievered to me so I had them shipped to my mother's house. I received two of the exact same box even though this was the first time it has happened.

Well it took until Christmas time to finally get them so here is what I got:
