July Birchbox-The Final

I've been saying it for a long time, but now it's final.  After 14 months, I cancelled my subscription to Birchbox. (I also cancelled Beauty Army after only 2 months.)  July's box was my last box. I think it ended on a pretty good note though.  This month's box was all about the five senses so it included ear buds, mints, perfume, etc.  

I had fun receiving Birchbox, especially since it is a surprise each month and more often than not, I thought the boxes were sub par but what do you really expect for $10 a month?  Just a handful of fun items that may or may not be useful to you.  

Beauty Army- March Box

I received my Beauty Army box in the mail earlier this week.  I picked these items myself so when it arrived in the mail on Wednesday, I didn't getting around to opening it.  In fact, I just opened it up today, Saturday.

I do love the box it comes in and can be used again for organization or using as a gift box but when I opened up the box, I thought, why would I have chosen that product?  I looked online and yes, I did choose all of the products in the box, however I probably chose those six because there wasn't that much to choose from in the first place.  I'm like all the other Beauty Army subscribers, which want more makeup samples and a little less skincare products.  I think for the past two months, it's pretty much been exclusively skincare items.

Anyway, here's what I got and I'll use the products but let's see some makeup next month or some more variety in products otherwise I'm cancelling!

Beauty Army- My First Box

Remember when I talked about all the different beauty subscriptions?  I received my first month's box for Beauty Army.  If you don't recall, Beauty Army allows you to pick your own deluxe samples, which means you are getting what you want but despite picking my samples, I had forgotten what I had chosen so it was still a fun surprise when the package arrived last week.

Here's what I got:

The body wash smells yummy and is formulated without sulfates and parabens and the whipped shea butter is organic and smells like bananas.  It feels awesome on your skin.  I've used it on my hands and they are the softest!  I wasn't exactly sure how the next time would work but I've found out tonight that I'll have a window of 7 days at the end of March to log on to Beauty Army and pick my next set of samples.  I think I'm going to like this.  If you love anything beauty related and love sampling products, it's seems to be a great deal.
