April Birchbox

It's that time again! :) This is what the Introduction card read for April: 

"This month, in honor of Earth Day, we’ve partnered with our friends at EcoFabulous and greened our box, inside and out. It’s not just about a single day, though – April is a reminder that we should be mindful of our environment year-round. Here’s how we’re celebrating:

Waste Less, Love More Birchbox helps you discover beauty products you love — no more beauty graveyard of unused purchases. This month, meet earth-friendly products; from skincare to nail polish, these treats show that eco can be effective and chic.

Recycle & Reuse 

Every bit of Birchbox packaging, from the tissue to this letter, is recyclable — this month and every month! Many members also repurpose Birchboxes to store jewelry, makeup, and other tidbits. We’d love to hear how you reuse your boxes.

Healthy Body, Healthy Planet

Online, we have tons of articles and videos to inspire you to be more mindful about what you buy and how you use it. Check out what products Zem Joaquin, founder of EcoFabulous, can't live without, or learn how to get beachy waves with our video tutorial. Plus, an easy guide to reading product labels and much more.

PS - You’re holding a carbon neutral Birchbox! We offset the emissions of shipping this box and will continue to do so going forward.


Hayley, Katia, and the Birchbox team"

Rave - Tinted Moisturizer

I am pretty excited about this Rave, mainly because I love this product so much that I want you all to go out and love it too. I will warn you, it's a tad bit expensive but SO WORTH IT! Today's Rave, Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer: 

Rave - Nail Polish

Today I'm going to compare my two favorite nail polish brands however I just discovered a new brand I'm trying out and I'll let you know what I think of ZOYA at a later date. For today this Rave is on OPI vs China Glaze: 

Rave - Eyeshadow

I absolutely love eyeshadow, probably my favorite part of my makeup collection and I realized I've been doing a lot of reviews on skin care stuff, so, this is one of my favorite eyeshadow pallet! Let me introduce my Rave on Too Faced Naked Eye collection: 

Bash - Mask

I absolutely love doing masks. I find them very relaxing and give great results without being too hard to do on your own. With that being said, this one is not the easiest, hence Bash on Befine Warming Clay Mask: 

Rave - Toner

I was never one who believed in using a toner. I mean, is it really necessary? It probably isn't, but after using this product I will be adding a toner to my daily skin regimen routine. The one that took my breath away? LUSH's Tea Tree Toner: 

Rave - Brush

I have longer hair and have had for some time now. Today, in a matter of minutes actually, I will be chopping it off... In honor of losing my long locks I wanted to rave about my favorite brush, WHICH I have a feeling I will be using a lot more with my shorter hair. Today's Rave: My Teasing Brush!
