So, April's Birchbox arrived and is so much better than last month's I decided to write a little blurb about it!

Last month I got a nail file, a scrunchie, some shaving cream, nail art thingies and some blemish spot treatment. Cool stuff, but not great.

This month was AWESOME!

First off, some delicious, vegan, gluten-free macaroons! Hail Merry chocolate macaroons, the only thing I have actually tried yet and mmmmmmmmm!

The one I will probably use least is the most expensive thing in here, *le sigh*. It's a moisturizing wrinkle-reducer eye cream, which is awesome, but I just don't need it. I don't get dark circles, crows' feet, any of that biz. I know, poor me right? It's a teeny-tiny 3 ml jar, but it'll probably last me ages. Full size is $160?! Geez, glad I don't need much ... LAFACE Laboratories Beaux Yeux.

Next up is Supergoop! CC Cream. Baisically, this thing is a miracle for girls like me, who don't do crap. I wear mascara and chapstick, eyeshadow if I am feelin' fancy. It's a concealer, it's a moisturizer, it's a color corrector, it's got SPF 35! Magic, I tells ya. Another 3 ml sample, but I suspect this one will go a lot quicker ... Supergoop! Daily Correct SPF 35 CC Cream, full size $32.

Two more to go, and I saved my favorite two for last. Huile Divine from Caudalie is gonna go fast this summer, let me tell you. A blend of oils that is great for hair, skin, nails, etc. with a subtle perfume-y scent that isn't too sweet, nor too musky ... can't wait to try is on my sun-dried locks during beach season. Another 3 ml sample, full size $9-49.

And we have saved the best for last, Beauty Protector's Protect & Detangle spray. This sample is a very generous ... well, I don't know the size, but about the size of a hotel room conditioner. Decent! It's a leave in conditioner that does it all: detangles, thermal and UV protector, leaves hair healthy, shiny, and moisturized (or so it claims!). It also has a delicious coconut-floral-y smell that isn't too sweet but reminds me of Hawaii in a crazy way - I could wear this stuff as perfume! Full size, $22.

Also, free one-year subscription to Women's Health. Fun!

I can't wait to try out all my awesome April products - hope they live up to the hype!
