Sorry, but April's Birchbox was horrible! I was unlucky enough to receive expired Be Fine samples, but thankfully I didn't try them yet and got a credit on the site. They expired in 2010!
The Orange Sanguine Atelier cologne was alright but again I personally think perfume samples don't really count as a significant sample only because counters will give you them readily for free. Also, not many people will use them up, especially if it doesn't have a spray nozzle. It smells like you rubbed orange grinds on you. At first I liked it because I like fruity scents, but after wearing it I found it not so appealing.
I have not tried the French tea packets but I have high expectations! Again I don't feel like this was as very goods sample for your money... Maybe I'll be proved otherwise.
The Olie 4000 mixture of oils wasn't great either. I sound picky in this post but honestly there is nothing here I would ever purchase on my own. My main complaint is the smell. It is so strong... I liked the kerastase sample last month more. I used the Olie in my hair and it made it look greasy. Even my sister commented on it! Plus the sample goes so fast! I think there are only 8 squirts in it. I used 4 and it is halfway gone. I tried using it on my legs because I had no lotion and it was okay... I think if you had extremely dry/brittle or relaxed hair it may work for you but I think there are much better options to look for.
Revolution Organics Freedom
Glow- Lastly, something I was excited about! A makeup sample and an All natural one. I got it in the color bronzed and was expecting a laguna multiple dupe however it was very different. The color was a plumish brown and not flattering on me. I have a picture in it and it looks okay in the picture (on my cheeks and lips) but in real life, it is kind of scary. It's like the 90s for lip color when everyone wore plumish shades. And because it is a natural product you can see chunks in it! I appreciate that it is natural but you must put in a lot of work to blend it out and look decent. I don't think I will use this again...
Sorry Birchbox. Natural Wonders box was a huge miss for me but I'm excited for next month- Gossip Girl! =)

MAC & Sally's Beauty Haul
Found MAC's mineralized skin finish in Superb! It looks slightly smaller than the other ones but still substantial and something I will never use up - $31.50
Got these nail felty nail wipes at Sally's for around $5. Expensive but you only need 1 per all nails! I got them to take off my toe polish because I had shellac. It worked great! Hopefully they'll last me a long time
Buy 2 get 1 free. Me and my sister were out of base/top coat. So it ended up being $8 for all 3! My sister says they take awhile to dry but her polish lasted for almost 2 weeks no chopping! It may have been the hardener too. Can't wait to try!

Sephora Haul + Forever 21
Went too far at Sephora. 15% coupon was tempting!!! Used my Ulta rewards and coupon to get my mom a decent hair dryer. I'm still so bitter I didn't know I was so close to the next level! (which would've gotten my a free purfume).
So my friend was on the lookout for a new lip product and decided on YSL. A YSL lip product has been on my wish list for forever! I figured since its my birthday and I had a coupon... I decided I could treat myself. Oh dear. This color is absolutely gorgeous! I'm sad the packaging is silver tho. But I really liked this sheer balm formula a lot so I got it!
Glee Sephora for OPI nail stickers. They were in the $3 sale bin but I paid $5 for them! Honestly I don't want them for $5 but I'll save them for my graduation. =)
I honestly wanted to go into Sephora just to pick up my birthday gift because I was so excited! Fresh is one of my favorite brands. =) and the normal balm full sized is $22.50! Ahh! But it is amazing. So is the rose. It's very sheer. It has a lemon-y scent to it.
Then walked next door to For Love and I saw this awesome necklace for $4.80. It's cute! It looks good with collared/button up shirts.
