This month: Spring Forward! The card inside talks about the season of change and maximizing daily routine - getting more out of everything. Here in Trinidad & Tobago, we have 2 seasons - dry and wet or rainy. But hey, anytime is a good time to talk about change ...for positive results!
The products:
Agave Healing Oil Treatment:
There was more than I thought in this little sample package, and didn't want to leave it in this packaging as it felt 'exposed' so I kept a little in a small container. Since I have long hair, I applied cautiously as I didn't want to have oily hair jus after washing. I kept adding more as time passed. I love the smell of this product! It applied nicely without feeling heavy, but it didn't do anything much for my hair. Maybe I need to use all because of the length and thickness of my hair while it was damp. Overall - it was 'average'
Gilchrist & Soames London Collection Body Lotion
Definitely fast absorbing with an earthy scent as described. I'm not a fan of earthy or musky scents as I prefer something fruity or sweet, but I didn't mind this as it really absorbed nicely into my skin. This scent eventually grew on me. The packaging of the sample is great as well, and it can be reused for travel or to pop into your purse. I'm really feeling this ...a little more every time I use it!
Supergoop! City Sunscreen Serum
A bit on the fence on this as I don't use much face products - it felt a bit greasy and I was conscious that something was applied to my face. Good packaging, an ample amount in the sample and it doesn't have a strong scent. It's difficult to think about how effective this product can be... I'll continue to use it to make up my mind.
theBalm How 'Bout Them Apples? Cheek & Lip Cream
Very cute package! Since I do consider myself a beginner to make-up use, I used it as a lip tint. I have dark lips and adding this to already moisturized lips gave it a nice subtle look.
* Lifestyle Extra *
Mighty Leaf Tea Pouches
I'm a coffee drinker and this is a great way to open up to the 'tea world'. I tried the Green Tea Tropical - and it was a pleasant aroma and taste. Can't wait to try the other samples!
Easy review: *nom nom nom nom* - lol. You jus can't go wrong with chocolate! It was a great find in my first Birchbox.

Overall, my first Birchbox was awesome! - maybe it was the long wait and finally receiving the products, or just the thrill of getting the box itself! I can't wait for my next box! If you wanna join in the madness, click the first pic to sign up :)
