February Birchbox

Hey guys!

Haven't posted in a while but I've got at least one more post after this to make!

Today I opened my mailbox to discover my February Birchbox had arrived!!  Woot!  Sadly I'm a wee bit disappointed in this months box..

This month I received:

  1. Benta Berry - G-1 Moisturizing Face Cream 
  2. colorescience pro - glow and go Travel Puff
  3. Eye Rock - Designer Liner
  4. La Fresh - Eco-Beauty Waterproof Makeup Remover
  5. Lifestyle Extra - Heart Shaped Nail File
  6. Birchbox Digital Download - Six free tunes from Green River
So far I've tried the moisturizer, the colorescience, and the la fresh makeup remover.

The Benta Berry moisurizer in my opinion was thick and kind of sticky.  It was kind of difficult to blend into my skin.  Also full size is $110 so I won't be purchasing it.

The colorescience travel puff is really a nice color.  It was kind of gold and shimmery and would be great for the summer.  However again full size is $50 and that is way more than I'm willing to spend on foundation/powder.

The La Fresh makeup removers are horrible.  They remove makeup but holy moly they are GREASY!  After I used it I felt like I had wiped oil all over my face.  Definitely won't be purchasing.

I felt slightly cheated this month by Birchbox.  There were several really nice products that were given out this month in large sample sizes.  None of those items made it into my Birchbox.  However I must give props to the Birchbox team.  I complained on twitter about being cheated, I was immediately sent a private message from Birchbox asking me what they could do to help.  I explained why I felt cheated and they took down my email address and told me that they would be in contact.  Well this afternoon I received an email from them apologizing and asking for more information.  So even though I was not happy with my box I am extremely happy with Birchbox.  It is nice to know that they really are concerned and interested in what their subscribers have to say.  

So this is my February Birchbox.  Not my favorite but it's worth more than $10 so I can't complain to much.  What all did you guys get this month?
