It's here! It's here! It's here!

I've signed up for it.  I get the email that it has been shipped.  I know its on its way.  But there is something about coming home to a Birchbox that feels like its my birthday (or Birchday?).

The first month I received it I was afraid to post because I didn't want to spoil anyone's surprise if they were waiting for their own [everyone hates a spoiler...I'm looking at you, guy who ruined Sons of Anarchy for me].  I even emailed the Birchbox team to ask what the etiquette was for posting about your sweet samples, and they assured me that everyone's is different, so to post away!

So here is what was waiting for me when I got home from work on Tuesday:

$50 off a purchase of $125 on Rent the Runway

Nice discount. Does anyone use Rent the Runway? This is up for grabs so let me know! 

aerie shimmer perfume

I’m usually not a perfume person.  I usually end

up spraying too much and making myself nauseous before

I even leave the house, but this is light enough that I probably

can’t mess it up.  Probably.

eyeco liquid eyeliner

Nice.  The application couldn’t be easier

and it came in this fun green color that is outside

my brown/black comfort zone.

mox botanicals lip butter: pomegranate & fig

I don't think you can ever get enough lip butter, gloss, shine, balm, etc. I went to an all-girls Catholic high school, and we wore really fab blazers that had big hip pockets, mine always containing at least 3-4 lip glosses in each side.  This one’s a keeper.

lumiere d’hiver clarifying shampoo

Normally if I try a new shampoo I don't feel any difference.  Granted, I'm switching between Garnier and Pantene, nothing too fancy, but I never see any real change.  I used this this morning and I LOVE IT.  My thin sparse hair feels so silky and healthy and wonderfully clean. No joke.

chuao salted chocolate crunch

Gone in two seconds.
