This month’s Birchbox arrived and I was thrilled with it! This month, they teamed up with Women’s Health to help us spring into Spring and this was the perfect way to do it! We don’t have all the time we’d like to primp and prep our hair and skin, so this month’s box was designed to give us big results with a minimum of effort.

Here’s What Was Inside

Caudalie Divine Oil

This smells…well…divine. It has a blend of grape, argan, hibiscus, and sesame oils, which hits various notes when you wear it. It’s meant for your skin, hair, and nails, but I’ve only tried it on my skin so far. I love the smell and the fact that it’s actually doing something good for me (better than regular ‘ole perfume)!

This came with a gorgeous lip and cheek pencil and an offer for a free instant lash extension kit (for 1,000 chosen customers). Fingers crossed that I get one! This has gorgeous packaging, as is the case with all Mirenesse products I have tried and purchased. However, this came out more orange-y than I was hoping for, but nothing I couldn’t deal with. It is wax-based, which helped it to easily glide on my skin. In the picture above, I am wearing it on my cheeks and lips. Because of the bright color, I only needed a little bit.

Supergoop!® Advanced SPF 37 Anti-Aging Eye Cream

This sample was super small, but I guess you don’t need much eye cream. I really like Supergoop’s serum and this glides on just as smoothly! This has great sun protection, so I’ll definitely start including it in my daily regimen as the weather starts heating up.

Beauty Protector Protect & Detangle

I love the look of this bottle and the fact that it’s a spray-in detangler (the one I have now is not sprayable). This smells really good and also offers seven benefits, including adding shine and detangling hair.

Hail Merry Macaroons

I loved getting this sweet treat and I love enjoying any food extras while I open my box :) It has no guilt and is vegan and all-natural. There were 2 tiny macaroons inside so I shared with my fiance. These are SO good, but RICH. And I like rich chocolate desserts, so these are RICHHHH. You really only need one of the tiny macaroons to put a stop to sweet cravings. It has a rich chocolate coconut taste, great texture, and no weird aftertaste.

Women’s Health Subscription

This month also included a year subscription to Women’s Health. As my fiance put it, “that’s a whole year of good advice”. Big plus!! I currently have a one-year subscription to Allure through my Sample Society box and one year to Everyday with Rachel Ray through my Love With Food box, so this one will make a nice addition.
