Soft Hair. Smooth Legs.

Soft Hair? Smooth Legs? Yep, it's a product review.


Okay, so admittedly, I'm a tightwad. Also, admittedly, I love subscription boxes. How do these two go hand in hand? I'm still trying to figure it out.

However, through Birchbox, a monthly beauty subscription, I found two really awesome products, neither of which I had ever heard of! If you've missed any of my previous posts about Birchbox, you can read about it here.

Birchbox is a once monthly delivery that contains beauty product samples. It's $10 a month and a great way to sample new beauty products. Most of the products I've received are products I have a) never heard of or b) never thought to try. Aside from that, it's a nice surprise in my mailbox!

Anyway, moving on to the good stuff.

In my first Birchbox, I received a sample of the Beauty Protector Protect & Detangle product. By the time I'd run out of the sample (about two weeks), I was desperate for more. At one time, I used "It's a 10!" as my leave in conditioner and detangler. Lately, I'd been using nothing. The ends of my hair were incredibly dry. Since my hair is normally pretty oily, I don't use this product on my roots. I tend to use it from about the tops of my ears to the ends of my hair. The full size product is $21.95 in the Birchbox store.

 

 In my March Birchbox, I received a sample of Whish Shave Cream. Whish is made from all natural and organic materials. My sample was blueberry, but when I opted for the full-size, I ordered pomegranate (smells fabulous). The kicker with Birchbox is that every product that appears in any of the many variations of that months box, ships for FREE! So, if you buy multiple products and one happens to be from the current month, your entire ORDER ships for free. Who doesn't love free shipping?!  The full-size Whish product sells for $20.00. For Shaving Cream?!  Yes, for shaving cream. For whatever reason, the lower portion of my legs is incredibly prone to razor burn. Not with Whish. On top of that, it doesn't lather like your typical shaving cream, so you get a much closer shave. Totally worth $20 bucks.

There are two other reasons I am now a huge fan of this product:

a) not tested on animals

b) made in the USA

So how much did this REALLY set me back? Around $30 bucks. That's right. Since Whish was a "Ships Free" March product, I avoided shipping costs. I also used a coupon code that allowed for 20% off a purchase greater than $35. Can't beat it!

I definitely look forward to discovering more products through Birchbox!
