So I’ve been sitting back and watching this site for some time now, just debating whether to buy or not. Some months I’d kick myself for not signing up, and others I’d sigh with relief over my “saved” $10. Well, after doing more kicking than sighing, I decided to give it a try.

For my first box, I can’t really complain. I received 1 of the main things I was hoping for, which is the Zoya nail polish in Kristen, but didn’t get the other item I really wanted, the full-sized Stila Eyeliner. 
My other items were the Jouer Lipgloss, which at first looked like a scary hot pink color, but once I put it on I actually really liked it. It wasn’t goopy or shocking. Went on smoothly, had no taste and made my lips a pretty soft pink color. Score.
I’m currently wearing the Zoya polish already :) Couldn’t wait to try that one! Not overly impressed with the formula of this polish, but I like the way it looks after 2 coats and Seche Vite.
The Juicy Couture spray sample was also a plus. Love the smell, most likely will buy the full size at some point.
And as far as the VMV Eye Serum, still not sure what I’m going to do with that. I do tend to have dark under-eyes but not bad enough I’ve ever treated them. The full size price for this item is $80 and it is a good size sample, so hopefully it proves useful.

Would you like to sign up for a Birchbox? You’ll get 4-5 deluxe sized samples or full sized items from many of your favorite beauty and health brands. Comes once a month, just like a magazine, and all for just $10! Sign up here.
