April PopSugar Must Have + April Birchbox

I received my PopSugar AND Birchbox for the month! As you know from my last post, I resubbed to PS after the great FabFitFun debacle. After seeing their continuing poor business practices, I have a strong feeling that I will cancel FFF after my free summer box. I have a hard time supporting a company that even after complaints continues to send out items that are not current as advertised and on top of that, damaged. No thanks. On to my good boxes! PopSugar changed up their packaging slightly ... 


This month seemed to be lacking maybe one extra item ... and when I saw spoilers I was a bit disappointed at first. But after thinking about it, I actually was pretty excited and since I've gotten it I love it! 


I received : 


A Green Garmento bag ... this can be used in four ways. As a garment bag, laundry hamper, duffle and dry cleaning. I'm using mine to line my current hamper and when it's laundry time I just take the whole thing out. The strap for the duffle makes it way easier to carry it all downstairs without dropping clothes. I love it! http://thegreengarmento.com/


Kai perfume oil ... I haven't decided how I feel on this. The tag states it smells differently on everyone (as is the case with most perfumes) ... sometimes I think I like it, but then other times I'm not sure. It's a gardenia scent and I feel like I have something that smells similar ... but I can't put my finger on which one it is. We'll see how this one goes. http://kaifragrance.com/products.html


Dark chocolate with quinoa ... I haven't tried this yet, but I'm excited to! I've recently discovered a love of quinoa so I think I'll like this very much! http://shop.alterecofoods.com/Chocolate/c/AlterEco@Chocolate


Hard to tell in this photo ... sorry ... but this is a super cute bracelet from Shashi. The strands are brown with cobalt accents and gold beads. I love this! http://www.shopshashi.com/products/new-nugget-bracelets


Tatcha blotting papers ... I don't really have a problem with shine on my face ... but I'll see what these do sometime! Maybe there's more there than I think... lol http://www.tatcha.com/shop/evening-aburatorigami-charcoal-japanese-blotting-papers

That's it for PS this month! Seems like less product than usual, but that's ok. I'm happy with what they sent! The total for this month : 

Green Garmento : $10
Kai Perfume Oil : $48
Alter Eco Dark Quinoa : $3.99
Shashi New Nugget Bracelet : $28
Tatcha Evening Aburatorigami Blotting Papers : $15

= $104.99

I also received my April Birchbox! 


This month was put together by Women's Health. 


I got a pretty good box this month! 


I received : 


Kusmi Tea Paris ... I'm not a huge tea drinker. I just started drinking a mild hot tea... so I'll try these and see if I like them! 


Mirenesse Glossy Kiss Lipstick ... this can also be used as cheek stain! It's a pretty bright red ... so I'm not sure how it'll look on me ... but we'll see! 


Oribe Shampoo and Conditioner for Beautiful Color ... I love my current Redken shampoo and conditioner, but I'll give these a go for fun. I was sent two, so Elaine is getting the extra. =)


Skin & Co Roma Cleansing Body Gel with Olive and Sicilian Orange Extracts ... I'm excited to try this! It's a fairly large sample! 


Supergoop! Advanced SPF 40 Anti-Aging Eye Cream ... Elaine requested to have this, so it'll be going to her. =) 

And there you have it! If you'd like an April box for $10, you have until April 14th! Click here --> https://www.birchbox.com?raf=2z2nk
