I received my first ever birch box, and quite honestly my feelings are pretty mixed about it right now.
The keepsake box itself is very cute and I will for sure be using it. But, the contents of the box…not too exciting.
P.S. I will be actually reviewing these products next month when I post what I received in my next box, sense it is mostly skin care items!
- When I opened the box I saw that I got a 20% off code for Rifle Paper Co. I actually may end up using this. I write a lot and journal so it is always nice to have cute note books!
(Malin + Goetz) Grapefruit facial cleanser – Full size $32 First let me start off by saying I really hate how this product smells. I am probably one of the few people who hates grapefruit. I also try to avoid scented products on my face, my skin is very sensitive and it tends to get rashes from fragrance in face washes and such. I will keep you up to date on this. It does claim to be good for sensitive skin, I guess we will find out. Purchase it here.
- As a bonus I also received a foil packet of their vitamin E facial moisturizer. You can purchase it here for $46.00
Briogeo Don’t Despair Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask- I really like how this product smells, first of all. I also really enjoy the fact that it is all natural, it is always nice to use natural products! I was pretty pleased that I got this product, I have been wanting to try a new deep conditioner, now I can! In a few weeks I will let you all know how well it works! You can get it here for $34.00.
Marcelle 3-in-1 Micellar Solution- ” This is a toner and makeup remover in one. It is gentle enough for sensitive skin and full of complexion calming ingredients.” I love my Garnier Micellar water, but it is hard to travel with such a large bottle. This bottle is a smaller size, so it is nice to have that. This is also claiming to be good for sensitive skin, I guess we will see! Get the full-size here for $21.00.
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in “Strumpet”- I do really love this brand itself, actually this product itself. It is cruelty free and matte which is great. The sample size is small, which isn’t that big of a deal because you just need a teeny tiny bit with each use. But, this color really is not for me, unfortunately.
Get the full-size here ( or another color) for $16.00.
WEI Golden Root Purifying Mud Mask- “A non-drying deep cleansing mask packed with purifying China clay.” You are only supposed to use a thin layer of this product, but it has a lid that can not be resealed, so not too sure how that will work out. I will test this little guy out and get back to you. Get the set here for $42.00.
Over all, I am not happy with this box right off the bat, but I am not upset either. I guess my decision will be made after I test the products out!
What was in your BirchBox? Have you tried these products? What do you think?

Love the OCC lip tars, they are some of my favourites. Are all the products cruelty free?

I am actually not too sure, not all of them have it listed. Which I think is a bit strange, sense so many people use that as a buying point!
