February 2014 Birchbox Review: Step & Repeat

February Theme
February Theme

It’s awards season, etc.  I am glad they don’t do a V-Day theme because it’s too hard to promise delivery by then – but I’ve seen that most regular subscribers are getting their boxes pretty early I think!

Everything in my box! Let’s dig in!

Reviver Clothes Deodorant
Reviver Clothes Deodorant

Reviver Clothes Deodorant – Lifestyle Extra ($3) This is a great idea. I’m not sure when I’m going to have the chance to personally use it but I think it’s still a great idea. I want to investigate how reusable this product is. This is my third one and I’ve just now noticed that they are reusable.

Whish Body Butter
Whish Body Butter

Whish Body Butter ($3.52) I really “whish” this hadn’t been in pomegranate. Pomegranate has been smelling to me like a bar the morning after ladies’ night. I’ll give this to the kids to play with because I really can’t stomach the smell anymore.

Beauty Protector Protect & Oil
Beauty Protector Protect & Oil

Beauty Protector Protect & Oil ($3? If the bottle is 1/2 oz) This smells amazing and almost makes me forgive Birchbox & Beauty Protector for continuing to insist that there are “for all hair types” products that actually work.  This will never be a great product for fine hair, but I will use it on my son’s terribly scratchy hair – and this sample will last forever!

Paula's Choice RESIST Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum
Paula’s Choice RESIST Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum

Paula’s Choice RESIST Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum ($5.10) Retinol free anti-aging serum. I will happily give this one a shot! Also fragrance free which is a huge win for me. I’m excited to sample this one.

Coastal Scents Revealed Palette Set
Coastal Scents Revealed Palette Sampler

Coastal Scents Revealed Palette Sampler ($3.40) I was totally prepared to hate on this but I absolutely love these colors. I will be able to use this to make a nice look!

This may be the lowest value box I’ve ever received for Birchbox – only $18 in value. I’m admittedly not entirely crazy about this box but I’ve already done my item reviews on the birchbox site, which basically gives me $5 back at the Birchbox Shop, plus I never spend those without a coupon and I pay less than $10 per box on my annual subscription, so basically I don’t even care too much what I get anymore, as long as I’m happy with a few things a year it’s totally worth it! The huge key with Birchbox is to just remember that it’s all about the points!
