April Birchbox

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! =)
