April's Birchbox: Worth more than $10??

randomized by: reeracoma at 8:18 AM 3 comments

I love my monthly boxes! I think I would have MAJOR withdrawals if I were to ever stop!

One of my oldie but goodie monthly box is Birchbox. It has been a hot minute since I've done a 'show & tell' or unboxing of my monthly box so I decided to just do blog posts for my birchboxes in the future.

So April's box came in early this week and I was excited to see what was chosen for me. To be quite honest, I was not digging many of the items discussed in the Birchbox spoiler video. But I was pleasantly surprised at how excited I was when I finally opened my box up.

April is Earth month and Earth day is on April 23rd. Going with the theme of the earth, April's boxed contained products that are of natural ingredients or in the spirit of the world around us. The box was the usual brown box with the pink foiled logo and instead of the pink tissue inside it was bright yellow.

Here are the goodies -

Weleda: A natural facial cream & tutorial

With the hormones during and after pregnancy along with the weather changes, I felt my skin had taken a beating! While pregnant, I did all natural/diy masks to help pamper my skin and ensure that I was using products that weren't harmful to my daugher or me. Now almost three months after her birth, I continue to look for products that will help me revitalize my skin and be proactive about caring for my skin from inevitable future wrinkles.

In the middle of March, I received my month's box from Bluum and found two products that really addressed my aforementioned concerns. They were the Weleda Almond soothing facial lotion and the Weleda Wild Rose smoothing night cream.
