Birchbox Home LE April 2013

Oh noes, it's already sold out!  This limited edition home box from Birchbox was a steal at $32.  I was able to add on a plus two sample pack for free, and the $10 value bumped my order up to qualify for the free two sets of Core Cutlery Bamboo special offer.  You can still shop for the items included in this box on the Birchbox website, and some of the items are well worth the full price:

I will try to keep it brief, as there is no point in going on about this when you cant buy the full set.

Tocca Crema da Mano Luxe in Cleopatra:  this is amazing.  And huge, I believe it is 4oz (left it at work darn it).  The full cost is $20, the scent is heavy but refreshing.  It is not greasy at all and is very long lasting.  I highly recommend this item.

L'Occitane Jasmin & Bergamot Eau de Toilette:  Also full of awesome.  I am not a perfume girl in general but I cant stop putting this on.  Full size is $75, and I think this is 1/10 of the size?  I am having trouble on this one.  Ten times the size seems like an awful lot of product, but please don't pay $75 for .25 oz of anything.  2.5 oz then yeah, because this stuff smells earthy, warm and surprisingly sensual.

The next item I can't seem to get enough of is the LAFCO candle in mint.  It took me ages to realize that the dark logo box is actually a little box of matches in the jar lid.  GENIUS.  The scent is really fresh and perfect in my kitchen.  It is a $20 value.

The rest is cute and useful.  Sarabeth's fruit spread it tasty but it seems pricy ($8.5) to me for what it is.  I have always wanted a Baggu bag, and I can't wait for the farmers market to open so I can try it out.  At $9 it's not a bad deal.  The Core utility knife is adorable, and my TJ Maxx carries these for a sweet deal right now (about $4 vs $14 full retail).  The shopping list and basil planter are kitschy and fun.

I am very happy with the Ahava foot cream in the add on pack (I am up in the air on the perfume).  The cutlery is adorbs, but I haven't had a chance to test out its durability yet.
