It is Birchbox time again! For those who may not be familiar with Birchbox, it is a monthly subscription service. You pay $10, and they send you samples of deluxe beauty products. Before we get to this month’s Birchbox, I want show you what I liked/disliked from last month’s box:

This month’s Birchbox is all about elegant style in honor of Mother’s Day. The packaging is back to the bright pink Birchbox is known for.

As always, everything comes packaged neatly inside the box:

And on to the products:

This was the Birchbox “treat” this month. Pretty lame.

I can’t really describe the scent of this soap. But soap is soap so it is just going to go in the guest bathroom. The full size is 6.8 FL oz and retails for $12.50.  They sent a 1.1 oz sample, which is probably more than enough for my guests :)

I haven’t decided if I love this smell or if it reminds me of grandmas. I need to try it out to see how it smells on me. The full size is 50 ML and retails for $80. I received a 1.5 ML sample so not a whole lot, but I don’t know that I will end up using much of it anyway.

I’m excited to try this lotion. I’ve heard great things about Ahava. The full size is 3.4 oz and retails for $20. I received a 0.68 oz sample so about $4 worth of the product.

This is the one product I was truly excited about seeing. I had watched some Birchbox YouTube videos, and it seemed everyone got one of these shadows in their boxes this month. The only thing I was a little concerned about (before getting my box) was what color I was going to end up with. From the videos I watched, it looked like everyone got a different color. Some were fine, others a little scary (someone got a bright orange color). So I was hoping for a normal color in mine that I would actually end up using. The color they sent me is called “prize” and it looks like it is right up my alley. They sent a full size shadow, which retails for $18.
