April Birchbox

::from L to R::

*Willa Lavendar Facial Towelettes--I used to not be able to go to bed without scrubbing my face. Now sometimes at night I'm so tired (errr lazy) I just crash & the next morning my face feels grimey. And just plain gross. So these are perfect to just put in my nightstand because no water is necessary. Win for the enviorment. Win for us lazies.

*J.R Watkins Hand and Cuticle Salve--In the past 2 months, I think I've said "My cuticles blow" about four thousand times. My nails always grow fast, but my cuticles also grow fast. And they aren't pretty. So as soon as I saw this in the box, I tried it right away. It's the lavendar scent, which is nice. It's greasy, but it did leave my fingers nice and soft. And my cuticles from blowing ;)

*Zoya nail polish in Bevin--It's a greeney, bluey, minty, cool toned color. I dig it. Very nice for spring.

*Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift--I'm a perfume whore. I currently have about 7 different scents on my vanity & depending on the season/weather/occasion/mood is what scent I will wear. I'd wear this on any casual day or to work. It smells nice. "Light" I'd call it. Like vanilla & raspberries but not too musky. I like it. Only thing? It fades fast.

* Dropps laundry detergent--Okay y'all. This is where I'll have my "ummm...what?" moment. Let me say that I love Birchbox & have enjoyed my goodies these past few months. But detergent? Really? It's eco-friendly, which gets a thumbs up from me, and these will get used. But these are definitely not something I expected in my beauty box nor is it something I'd like to see again. Call me selfish, but this pink box is my monthly splurge (and I say that lightly because hey, it's only ten bucks). But it's something for me. Not something that I want to correlate with house work. Seeing the detergent was a big bummer, can't deny that.

So, all in all, not my ideal box. But not an awful box by any means. Here's to hoping for some more beauty oriented goodies in May! Rumor has it that May is a Gossip Girl themed box which makes this C-Dub watching lady giddy.

Tell me fellow Birchboxers, what goodies did you receive?
