Hello Lovelies!
I hope that you had a great Monday! I am back at work today
and going like crazy. I did say that I would load a review of the January 2013
Birchbox. If you are not aware of what Birchbox is, basically it is a monthly beauty
box subscription for $10/per month. This $10 gets you normally 5 sample size products.
The brands normally are ones that I have never heard of, but occasionally they
send a brand such as the Balm. I am overall happy with Birchbox, but I will admit
some months are better than others. The range of products that you will receive
depend upon you answers to the survey you take when apply to Birchbox. I will
mention that there is a waiting list for Birchbox, it took me a month to
actually be up for a box. This is because this company is growing like crazy
and very popular, as I am sure you can tell…I mean most beauty bloggers get
this box. So if you are one that is on the fence about this, I suggest you go
ahead and take a leap of faith. In terms of how it works, each month your bank
account will be debited $10 and they will ship fairly quickly. I honestly love
my pink box of goodies, they always have the neatest stuff to try. If you are interested in a product, you can find the product in the color Red(this is a hyperlink). If you click the product in red it will take you to where you can purchase that product. So tell me
what you think of my review, and if you have any questions please feel free to
ask.

January Birchbox
2013
2013
Products:
Aerie Shimmer Fragrance $14-95-39-95
The Verdict:
Overall I was rather pleased with this box, I am especially fond of a few products. I have not tried the Ojon nor the Embryolisse products. However, I have tried the rest and have been thoroughly impressed. So I am going to break them down one by one for the purpose of this review.
Aerie-The fragrance was light, yet alluring. I actually wore it today and have so far had several compliments about it . It is not too overwhelming, I will probably not order this product, but I have enjoyed the sample. It came in very cute “tootsie roll” style silver wrapping. Overall I give this a 3/5 fragrance rating.
Eyeko- I love love this product. I seriously am picky when it comes to eyeliner. This product claims to be smudge proof, and I can say that this is very true. I had to seriously apply water and scrub to get it off. This is great if you are having allergy issues, or getting all teary eyed. The applicator was similar to my Maybelline EyeStudio Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner in that it looks like a marker. It was easy to apply and has definite staying power. Overall I give this eyeliner a 5/5! I possibly will re-order this in the future.
100% Pure-I am always skeptical when it comes to all of the creams that they send. I mean you never know just how your skin will react to some of these products. Well for weeks I have been battling extremely dry skin, especially on my legs. I seriously applied this once and saw a HUGE improvement. I have tried every kind of lotion in my collection(from Victoria Secret-Vaseline) yet I have not seen a big improvement. This product not only is a great texture, but also smells amazing. Mine smells like green apples, which I love. Also this texture of this lotion is thick and has staying powder, it will not disappear feeling-wise quickly. Overall, I give this lotion a 5/5. I will be re-ordering this in the future. 
I hope you enjoyed this review!…As Always I hope you have a great day!
