March Birchbox Unboxing

I was so excited to do a post with all of my favorite green nail polishes for St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow…and then I got my March Birchbox in the mail.  And I said I’d never do another video after the Dessange unboxing, but I lied.

I made a Birchbox unboxing video for you all.

March Birchbox Unboxing! The month's theme is creativity and you can definitely play around with some fun stuff here.

The March box this month is all about creativity, which is right up my alley.  It was one of those fun boxes where you could just pick one of the samples in your box or get a specialty box (like last month’s Birchbox X Rent the Runway box).  I really wanted to try Amika’s blowout spray, so that’s what I picked for my box.

Items in my March Birchbox

Amika Bombshell Blowout Spray
Smashbox Be Legendary Lip Gloss in Disco Rose
Harvey Prince Sincerely
Macadamia Professional Nourishing Moisture Mask
Jelly Pong Pong GLOW GETTER Highlighter

Some months there are only five items, others there are six.  It seems very random.  Did anyone else notice that?

So far, I’ve enjoyed the Smashbox lip gloss; it’s a pretty shade and it adds just the right amount of color to your face to be casual or to be paired with a bold eye look.  I also like the Harvey Prince perfume, though I didn’t smell it strongly throughout the day.

I don’t know about you, but when I buy perfume, I take time to smell all the different kinds and see how they wear on me; I will rarely purchase something online without smelling it first and I don’t think I’ve ever purchased a scent that came in a Birchbox.  Not that they are bad (quite the contrary!) but I like to take time to be selective.

Did you get a Birchbox this month?  What’s in it?

  • Oh man. Your box was so much better than mine! I got a Laura Geller blush, and I love it… but I already have it. Womp womp. #FirstWorldProbz

    • Oh man, that’s always a bummer when you get a disappointing box. #FirstWorldProbz for reals.

      I’ve wanted to try Laura Geller and I almost do it every time I see something on QVC, but I always hesitate for some reason. What else did you get?

      • Honestly, I can’t remember what else I got. How terrible is that? The box was less than exciting.
        I suggest getting one of the sets of Laura Geller makeup. I got a set around January that included a full sized powder foundation, full sized blush, full sized primer, and full sized lip gloss for $60. Considering each of those items is over $30 each, that’s a steal! … and I love everything in the kit! Seriously. I never liked powder foundation, but once I tried LG, I never looked back!

        • That’s when you know it’s a bad box! I will definitely have to pick up one of those sets in the future! I always love when you can see the retail value for each separate item and the fact that you’re getting $400 worth of product for $29.
