january birchbox

birchbox time! i still look so forward to getting these in the mail. if any of you men are looking for something different to get your ladies for valentine's day, i highly recommend a birchbox subscription! [there's also a men's version]

anyway, this month brought a box with products that i actually think i will use fairly quickly. lots of times there's one or two random things i don't think i'll ever use, but not this month! way to go, january.




  • burt's bees intense hydration day lotion: this little tub of lotion is already half-gone! the smell is really fresh and different. the lotion is heavy enough to really feel like it's moisturizing but doesn't weigh you down or make your skin sticky at all.

  • nail rock nail polish: i am dying to try this! i love unique nail polish textures, so this is right up my alley. each nail rock set comes with a base polish as well as a textured topper. mine is a dark purpley-red color and came with the "velvet" top coat. nail rock also has glitter, sequin, and caviar top coats. can't wait to see how it turns out!

  • 100% pure fruit pigmented mascara: this mascara claims to be made from naturally pigmented fruits and veggies. the one i got is derived from black tea, and i like it! it doesn't work quite as well as your typical (not-"natural") mascara, but it smells amazing, which is kind of weird for a mascara. it took a few more coats than i would normally apply, but the cute package and smell are totally worth it. :)

  • serge normant meta revive dry conditioner: i am a dry shampoo devotee 'til i die, but i've never tried dry conditioner before. i'm not really sure why it's necessary, but i used it this morning after i dry-shampooed my day-old hair and it was nice! it smells great and tamed down my fly-aways pretty well. i'm not sure it's something i would buy, but it's fun to try and i will definitely use up the sample.

  • harvey prince journey perfume: i love a perfume sample. i rarely find one i don't like, so this is just another in a string of samples in my drawer. it will definitely be in rotation over the next few days.
