Sample bar April review. (NZ birch box)

Okay, so it's April already and I was pretty excited to see my glam pack on my bed when I got home, present time. Needless to say I think I'm a little disappointed this month sample bar. It's not that it had bad things in it there was just nothing that really mad me excited. Ho-hum.!!!

This month was all about being Eco friendly and not to forget Eco chic at the same time. Awesome.








So I guess the first thing I noticed was the Easter egg.!! Yum ( no picture I ate thus before I had a chance haha) thanks sample bar.








But then I found the first actual sample this month:
EVOLU TRAVEL TOWER
basically this is 6 beauty products in little travel size pots that's screw together for even more convenience, I do think this is pretty cool it has cleanser, exfoliator, eye cream, day cream, hydrating mask and night cream. Every thing you need, I'm gunna keep this handy in my handbag for those unexpected sleepovers at friends,
Value: 1 tower $21.40 ( purchase 3 at a time and sample bar gave us a $20 off voucher that's almost 1 free)









Next was the shampoo bar, sorry no photo of this either.
SORBET SHAMPOO BAR
I guess I was kinda excited about this but I was also kinda cynical about it too, being a hairdresser and only wanting to use the best thing I can for my hair but I gave it a go and so far so good., it suds up and my smelled real good. I will use it again. The paper around it even was Eco friendly and disolved in water pretty cool if you ask me.
Value: I have no idea how many grams the bar I got was but a full sized ( 95g bar) is $22.50 and 15% off with discount code.

Another night cream this month (yawn.!)
ANTIPODES AVOCADO PEAR NOURUSHING NIGHT CREAM
So this is just a 10ml sample, which normally I would be secretly guttered about ( I love my deluxe samples) but thank goodness. Do not send me night cream next month haha! Although I used this tonight and its quite nice I just like my night cream by dermalogica much more .
Value: sample $4(ish) dollars











PHÂRO MICROFIBRE EXFOLIATING CLOTH
everyone should know how important it is to exfoliate, prevents ingrown hairs, removes dead skin cells ETC... This is going to be handy as I was just thinking about getting some new exfoliating gloves. Perf timing sample bar, this isn't as rough as the gloves though so will be interesting to use.
Value : $5.95 and ten dollars off a sugaring treatment., hair removal with less ouch.?

Then I was even more disappointed cause I couldn't find my last sample, luckily it was hiding underneath all the confetti strips.,
PERFUMIES
solid perfume, no need to worry about it spilling in your bag or suitcase., ill probably loose it in my bag of a hundred things though considering I lost it in my tiny box of 5 things... I kinda think it smells really subtle. And kinda like a floral soap not gunna lie, but a guess i'll smell clean when I wear it😛
Value: $10.95








So in my opinion a pretty average performance this month. Cool idea but it just didnt hit the mark for me 3/5 ( and that's a little influenced by the chocolate)

Total value: 42.55 + the value of the shampoo bar ( I do think these boxes are worth it cause if you check out my previous reviews the value if the box is usually double what you pay for it) and this month we got 30 dollars worth of vouchers and 15% off discount code. Pretty good.




Love always

Haul.!! The balm and Maybelline and swatches

HAUL!! Maybelline color tattoo and THE BALM

I got THE BALM products off of Paganmarienz, really awesome site for dresses and now they stock lime crime and the balm, really quick shipping too. (I get mine overnight). I have used these all a few times now so Ill let you know quick first impressions.

Bad to the bronze:
Really easy to wear, you can wear it alone for a quick even day look. it lasts all day. buildable.

Painted Purple:
not as pigmented as i would have thought and a little disappointed at how matte it it, but will be a good base for purple shadows.











Tough as taupe:
really pigmented, great crease color lasts all day. matte.

Bold gold:
really nice gold, buildable, will be a good base for gold shadows, last all day

BAHAMA MAMA:
these products have the coolest names and packaging. Really soft bronzer, but also very pigmented, easily blended and build able soft looks created just as easy as dramatic looks.

Mary lou-manizer:
(really bad quality pic, my bad) apparently ever so popular i had to snap this up while it was in stock, i really love this highlight, it lasts all day, even after my foundation has worn off, crazy. i have built is up in the swatch but just gives a dewy glow.

Liquid time balm:
concealer, has tea tree oils, really smells like tea tree so stay away if yuor not a fan of that smell, i like this though and my few pimply areas have calmed down from using this, generally lasts all day exempt on bigger bumps.

I even go this mini mascara as a bonus.!! woo who doesn't love freebies. What's your type, body builder.
I like this mascara heaps too its really black and the small wand makes it easy to apply and its not clumpy at all. thanks paganmarienz, I will defs buy some more soon.! and of course i'll blog all about it ;)
