BirchBox for November 2013

So, I got the BirchBox for November 2013 and I am still not impressed with the subscription.  I said I would give it a few months and I have received 2 months already.  I have now cancelled this subscription and I am looking into another one.  But here is the November BirchBox.  

Here is the box and the inside...




BeeKind Body Lotion is the first thing I pulled out of the blue envelope.  I opened it and turned the to pour some in my hand and I got way too much due to it is very thin.  The full size is 8oz at $15, I received a sample size of 30 ml.  It states on the bottle "The honey bee population is in crisis.  A portion of the proceeds of this product supports honey bee and sustainable pollination research".  I have to say I like when a company is supporting a good cause.

The other item in the blue envelope is the Wei Pomegranate Buffing Beads - full size 20 0.5 packets at $20.  I received 2 packets.  the directions say for me to mix these beads in with a quarter size amount of my cleanser, then use on my face.  I have never seen this type of item before so this will be interesting.  I will be sure to write a review on this item.  



The next item I got was the Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter Pencil - Full size $18.  I received a full size of this one. I have not used a highlighter before, I am just getting into using all the make-up items, form highlighters to bronzers, so this will definitely get used.  =}



The Perfume that was in this box is Joie Folle De Joie Eau De Parfum - Full size $98. I got a sample size of 0.6 fl oz.  I am not really sure yet what I think.  I like Fruity Musky smells, Like the Lavanila that I have shown in my LBB hauls.  This is a light umm  I want to say floral scent.  I think I will have to wear it at least once then make my mind up.  I know perfumes will smell different on everyone depending on your own body oils.  So we will see...


It has a stray top instead of a pop top, I like that
 There is a purple small container in the box as well...

It is a Wei Golden Root Purifying Mud Mask - Full size $42 for 8 containers and a brush.  I got one container of 8ml, I will try this as well.  As I always say I love to try new products and I love beauty products, so I will be trying this.  I have never had a mud mask, I'm sure I will look funny to my boys and my fiance, but ladies do we care as long as we look good.  LOL  =}



The added item to my BirchBox this month is a "Lifestyle Extra"  They added:

Mighty Leaf Tea Pouches - Full Size $9.95 for 15 pouches.  I received 3 different flavor pouches.  Organic African Nectar, Vanilla Bean and Green Tea Tropical.  I like flavored treas, so I am sure I will enjoy theses.  

And they also slide there card with the information on it...



I have enjoyed the items I have received, but I still wasn't impressed with BirchBox.  So, I have cancelled the subscription and I am looking to open a different one in it's place.

Now on to the next one...

Bye for now Y'all  <3

You have to enjoy Birchbox for what it is! Don't forget that you get the bonus points & lots of coupons and not stress that you didn't get great samples (i never do!).

I went ahead and I reordered the box, I also used my points too. So, I will be receiving Decembers box with a few add-ons. I wanted to give it one more try after reading a few other reviews. Thank you for your comment, they are always welcomed.
