Skinny Jeans & Sippy Cups Blog

Around this time each month, I’m slightly excited and hopeful…and usually end up slightly disappointed. My first thought this month was “I’m sick of hair products.” Then, I saw what some other subscribers received and realized my box was pretty decent.

This month’s theme was HERITAGE.

I think this little card is cute. It has a coupon code for 30% off a product on the back. I don’t think I’ve ever taken advantage of any Birchbox coupon code, but maybe I’ll give this one a go.

This is the second Amika sample I’ve received from Birchbox. This one is at least a decent size. I think I’ll get use out of this Amika Bombshell Blowout Spray. (My Birchbox card says “Blow Up Spray” which I believe is a mistake.)

I wear make-up every day so I can always use more make-up remover. I’ll definitely put this sample of Caudalie Make-up Remover Cleansing Water to good use. I also love that there is no need to rinse my face afterwards.

This Coastal Scents eyeshadow sample palette was a pleasant little surprise! How cute is this! I want a bunch of these in all different colors.

According to the packaging, there are 31 of these sample sets. The one I received is called “Queen of Hearts.”

I like the eyeshadow Fine Wine best, but they’re all pretty. I think I can even make these work with colors from my Naked Palette.

I’m excited to try out this Ruffian Nail Lacquer because they’re a New York-based company and this is their first nail lacquer collection. I love the lid on this sample. Sometimes nail polish lids are awkward and make it difficult to paint your paints.

The downside about this: I feel like Birchbox just doesn’t understand what nail polish colors I like. It’s simply really: pink, purple, red…anything bright or neon. This color is called Hedge Fund. It’s a metallic green, like a pea green with gold. Not sure I love it, but I’ll give it a try.

This Egyptian Magic All-Purpose Skin Cream is the Beauty Extra for this month.

Apparently, it’s Birchbox’s 3 year Anniversary. I received my first box when they were about 8 months young. We still have a love/hate relationship, but thanks to Birchbox I have been introduced to some companies that are now my favorites like Incoco and Laura Geller. I’m also happy that I will get use out of my samples this month.
