March Beauty Army box!

BA time again! Got my box this morning. Truthfully, I am a bit disappointed in the lack of makeup items lately however, I love that they have been asked about this and the reply seemed very straight forward something like hey were very limited on makeup, hair and nail inventory at this time,  we know some are unhappy and we are trying very hard. No excuses no promises. I like it. The girls seems so awesome and the CS is great! Besides on the upside I haven't had to shell out big money for skin are since I joined! BA keeps me in enough skincare samples that I never run out! And their samples are truely deluxe sized. A huge plus! Shipping is very slow for me compared to my other beauty subs but it won't kill me to wait....lol.....so here it is

Be fine night cream....have heard good things, alot of BB subscribers have received this in their boxes in months passed although I have never tried it. Very nice sample size. BABOR anti-stress cream....I really wanted the cleanser but they didn't have it on my selection list so hopefully next month...I have never used any BABOR products but its suppose to be high end and has great reviews, so that's what its all about trying new things. Next is the FX eyeprep never heard of it so we shall see. Next is CellCeuticals photo defense spf 55 . Never tried this either but again, we shall see. Now the M.A.D. anti aging moisturizer. I have heard of this brand. Can't wait to try. And lastly the thing I was really looking forward to trying was the smallest sample (wah) but it is enough to get a good feel for...its the In I Lee facial oil. I have the argan oil by Josie Maran as well as the facial oil Tarte has and this seems to be along the same lines. ( I love my Argan oil especially the bronzing one I have by Josie Mar an as well) this Indi Lee oil seems to be almost identical! So there it is and btw this month my BirchBox was by far the best sub box. Its almost New Beauty testtube time again as well. I can't wait.






My March Glam bag!

<p>OK so this is my 2ed Glam bag I was hooked after seeing the first one when they launched (I think that was in Dec.) I wasn't signed up then but I jumped on the bandwagon right away! The first one had fullsized UD eyeshadow and primer I was like yeees! Sadly though, they have went down hill every since. No fullsized makeup in fact very little makeup at all! They have tons of unhappy customers, in fact I myself rarely visits their FB page anymore BC everyone is unhappy and and complaining! There are folks complaining about folks complaining! MyGlam says they are listening and are striving to make things better we will see. Actually on the upside the shipping did seem to be as scheduled this month. So maybe they will get it together. For me my bag was OK this month nothing amazing but I wouldn't be in a mad frenzy over it. Its just meh really! Each subscriber got one of 3 "or items" 3 lab perfect cleansing foam, Pur-lisse lip comfort or Murad absolute bronzing boost. Alot of people were saying that some got fullsized Pur-lisse while others got deluxe sample sized. Also the cleanser was very generously sized compared to the other 2 "or items". From everything I have read thus far the bags do seem to be a bit "unfair" anyway here is mine!</p>
<p>My "or item" was the Murad absolute bronzing boost. I wanted this item so I was happy (I looove bronzers) I tan my body but not my face so I use alot of bronzers on my face. The sample is very small and all of my excitement went away when I tried it! I don't know if I got a dud or its just the item but it just looked like a very red undertoned foundation to me. I saw no shimmering bronze color like expected. I was very sad BC that was the one product I was excited about!</p>
<p>Next was something called KERACOLOR and it says its a color enhancing leave in treatment. Appreantly its new and if you were one of the first 500 to like their Fb page then you are supposte to get 2 free sample packets. I was like number 86 lol, I haven't received the packets yet.'this one is for all hair colors but for the free samples on fb you got to pick your color. So I know they have it for different hair colors. Appreantly this one is just clear for everyone. I'm interested to try this.</p>
<p>We also got a crease brush and a holder with the Myglam logo on each. Cute but alot of people have stated their magnet that holds it shut doesent work and mine doesent work either. Alot of people have very strong complaints about the smell of the brush and or holder. Mine doesent smell way bad but it does have an offensive odor. Rumor has it they are going to send a brush every month until we have a complete set. I like that idea they are cute but it seems like a very cheap brush to me although I am going to try it first before I say it sucks...lol

Then there is the 2 small sample packets of Murad eye lift and pur-lisse moisturizer....not much to talk about there

There is the bag its self which is cute....although someone on makeuptalk said it looked like "boobs" and now I can't stop seeing them...lol. we also got a coupon for 25 dollars off 50 dollar purchase at Dermstore. Since they have free shipping and gifts with purchase It seems like a very good deal. Especially since I read they have something called Beauty fix surprise where you get 6 or 7 items valued at like 250 for 29.99 some fullsized items in that bundle I'm told.

My March 2012 Birchbox!

YAYYYYYYY! I just got my March BirchBox! I opted in for the TeenVogue BB and I am so glad I did! BB teamed up with TV this month and members had the choice to get their regular BB or the TV picks. I got the FullSized Tarte lip stain in "Amused" it looks very dark pink but is rather sheer. This was what I was most hoping for since there were 4 different TV boxes and this was the highlight of my box. I own several of these but this color is new to me and I wouldn't have tried it otherwise so very pleased!
next was an Essie nail polish in "set in stones" I am not familiar with Essie so I'm not sure if this is full size or not. If its not full size its a very large deluxe sized sample! It is silver glitter chunks and I'm not sure if its for me just yet although it is very pretty.
Next is the Shisedio oil control blotting papers it is 10 sheets and its ok.  My skin isn't oily though but I will try them.
Then the infamous BB perfume sample...lol! This is a sample vial and its "petite Cherie" by Annick Goutal. New to me I have waaay to many perfumes as it is but it does smell really nice.
And lastly here is there is hair tie I got one of these in a previous box and although I probably wouldn't spend my money on them its kinda neat to have around.
So that's my March BB and I say this one is GREAT compared to the last several months.....go BB!
