Under the Sun Limited Birchbox!

What's in

the box?

Under the Sun Limited Edition Birchbox is now on sale in their shop for $55 - I used a coupon code and my BB points and got it for $34 with the add on mystery samples.

The box for this one was so pretty and I loved the green color inside it.

Sugerpova Flirty Gummy Candy -  ($5.95)  The tennis star Maria Sharapova has started a candy business and these are the gummy ones shaped like lips.  They are really good and so cute.

 Baggu in sailer stripe -  ($7)  I have gotten this bag in another box and I love them!  I would have really liked the elephant one but I can go purchase that one now.  I will use this often. 

Laura Mercier Baked Eye Colour in Cameo - ($24) I was very happy with the shade I got in the box.  It is very pretty and is a color I wear every day.

Cynthia Rowley Beauty on the Go Multi Blush and Bronzer -  ($24)  These are so pretty and are easy to apply.  I really like this cosmetic line - packaging is so pretty and this is nicely pigmented.

 This is the blush:

  This is the bronzer:

 ncLA Swim Club nail lacquer in Bikinis and Martinis -  ($16)  This is so pretty a shade! I love it! I love the size of this bottle.  

 Supergoop Mineral Sunscreen -  (full size $28) And what would an Under the Sun box be without a sunscreen!  Love this!  Happy to have a travel size too. I can pop this right in my purse. 

Knockaround Premium Sunglasses - ($14.60) I loved that there were sunglasses in this box!  I can never have too many pairs - I lose or break any sunglasses I get so these will get used. 

Chloe + Isabel Medina pendant necklace -  ($38)  This is beautiful!  I love that the value of this is more than what I paid for the box!  I love the little bag this came with as well.  CUTE!  This is like getting two necklaces in one since you can wear them together or as a set.

Mystery Bag -  ($10 or free with $35 purchase) I received a Mereadesso moisturizer and a Beauty Protector Protect and Detangle leave in spray. 

This was a fantastic limited edition box - the best since the Mermaid box, in my opinion! It had makeup, candy, household items, and accessories!  The perfect box as far as I am concerned.  I think all I was missing was a lotion! The value was well over $130 so I more than got my money's worth.

Birchbox Fresh Start Limited Edition Box

What's in 

the box?

Birchbox put out another limited edition box a few weeks ago and this one looked really good so I used my points (I had $20)  and a discount code to take it from $42 to $13.60.  There are a lot of codes to try if you have never used them before - try COMEBACK20, WELCOMEOFFER20,  TAKE20OFF or MOBILE20.  This limited edition box is called Fresh Start.  The box for it is really pretty and I will be able to reuse it as a gift box! 

There was a nice little card in the box describing each of the items: 

Yarok Feed Your Ends - (travel size - 2 oz $10)  This is a leave in conditioner to protect against heat damage and keep your hair healthy.  I love leave in conditioners with my long hair so a great item for me! 

Vapour Organic Beauty Aura Multi-use Blush -   (travel size - $22.50 )  This is really pretty and I love this type of applicator for on the go blush use.   You can use on lips, eyes and cheeks.  

Fig + Yarrow Healing Salve -   (travel size - $6)  this is a cute little all purpose healing salve - just right for your purse.  I think I prefer this to the big tub they sell in the Birchbox shop.  

Ilia Lip Gloss in The Butterfly & I  -   ($24)  I love getting lip glosses in my boxes and so this is perfect.  Very pretty shade too! A big plus that it is made of shea butter and coconut oil.  I might have to pick up the other shades.   Love Buzz looks really fun!

Juice Beauty Gree Apple Age Defy Hand Creme -   ($12)  This has been a really popular brand lately to put in subscription boxes.  I have not gotten the hand creme yet so it is a win for me.  Very nice stuff! 

KOR Aura Water Bottle -  ($9.95)  Love this cute pink water bottle!  Will be going right to work with me so I have it every day.

 Mullein & Sparrow Pink Bath Salts -   (travel size $6)  This is the thing I am least excited about in the box - since I sell Perfectly Posh, I know what good bath salts are and these are not it.  I am not a fan.  These are way too flowery for me. 

Bombas Ankle socks -   ($9)  These are the main reason I got this box.  Love these ankle socks and they are usually out of stock in the store.  Bombas also donates one pair to charity for every pair sold - love that!!!  More companies should do that! Love everything about these socks - the color, the feel, and they last!   

The value of this box is about $100 and I paid just under $14.  I love Birchbox points!  Save them up and get something special like this, Ladies!  It is so worth it.  I will use almost everything in this box too.  The bath salts were the only miss here.  Fantastic curated box!
