February 2014 Citrus Lane Review

Citrus Lane is a monthly subscription box for babies, toddler and preschoolers (even makes a great shower gift!)

This month's box is for a 25 month old.  As usual, both the boys and I were extremely excited to see our Citrus Lane box had arrived safely and was on our back deck when we arrived home today!




Juice Beauty Green Apple Age Defy Hand Cream - this month's box included a full size hand cream! Love love love full size items.  This can be purchased for $12.  It has a great scent - not overpowering, and will be a nice addition to toss in the diaper bag for my dry February hands

Silicone Divided Plate from Oogaa  - I have twin 2 year old - what more do I need to say, lol.   A silicone plate is very safe, i.e. can be tossed to the floor or across the room by my boys with no breakage ;-)  The cost of the plate is $10.99.  It is dishwasher and microwave safe

Build-A-Sanwhich from Green Toys - I cannot compliment Green Toys enough.  In a nutshell we love their products - from bath toys to airplanes to buckets and shovels...we have it all.  This was a great addition to our collection and the boys "kitchen play".  $16.99

Starlight Sailor from Barefoot Books  - this is our third or forth book from Barefoot Books.  I have been very pleased with the quality of the books and the boys are always very engaged with the story.  $14.99

Monthly subscription cost: $25
Total received in this box: $54.97!

Birchbox Review - February 2014

So we all know I love monthly subscription boxes! I decided to splurge this month and try Birchbox.  My Valentines Day treat to me!!!

The February 2014 box teamed up with US Weekly - this box was all about being ready for the red carpet!




I was beyond excited to try a few new beauty products.  

Included in my box:

COOLA Tinted Matte SPF 30 for Face - already used this and love it.  Very light and smooth - no odor, didn't feel oily after application 

Harvey Prince Hello (perfume) - I will have to say I am normally a no perfume gal.  However, this is a light, citrus scented perfume and it is wonderful! Wore it yesterday and today and it will be a new regular!

100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Mascara - so far so good, this is a thinner mascara so I felt like I applied more for thicker lashes but overall I liked it

DDF Ultra Lite Oil Free Moisturizing Dew

Agave Healing Oil Treatment 


The prices shown on the card are for full sizes - the box only contains smaller sample sizes.

Overall for $10 I feel like I got a great assortment of products that I would typically not try/purchase.  Thanks Birchbox!

What did you get in your February Birchbox?
