I was more than happy to take a break from sorting kids clothes this after (so.many.clothes) to dig into my Birchbox for CEW Limited Edition Boxes! Birchbox just launched this boxes on Tuesday and I received them today (Thursday) so they arrived super quick!

If you aren’t familiar, the Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) Insiders’ Choice Beauty Awards, aka the Oscars of the beauty world, gathers together the top beauty experts in the world who then select the best and brightest products of the year. And together with Birchbox they have packed them into the following two boxes.

Birchbox for CEW
Dove Go Fresh® Restore Body Wash

~Simple® Protecting Light Moisturizer with SPF 15 ($11.29): This left great on my skin and I love that it has SPF in it.  I feel like every moisturizer should have an SPF in it because I don’t really love having to double up sunscreen + moisturizer.

~L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Butterfly Mascara ($8.49): I haven’t gotten a chance to try this yet, but I love the shape of the wand and that you can see the shape of the wand through the packaging!

~Vaseline® Lip Therapy® Rosy Lips ($2.27): I am absolutely in love with this.  I have a few of them at home and think it gives just the right amount of color and shine without being too much.  And since it’s vaseline, it’s obviously very moisturizing too!

Vaseline® Lip Therapy® Rosy Lips

~Burt’s Bees® 100% Natural Lip Gloss in Spring Splendor ($7.20):  Ohh, I have never tried this before (at least that I can remember) and I am a fan!  The color is great, it’s not all sticky and it’s got all natural ingredients as well!

Birchbox for CEW
Burt’s Bees® 100% Natural Lip Gloss in Spring Splendor

~TRESemmé® Keratin Smooth Keratin Infusing Serum ($5.99): This smells amazing.  It tamed my flyways right away as well which was exactly was it was suppose to do.  This could become a new favorite because the price is incredible!

TRESemmé® Keratin Smooth Keratin Infusing Serum

All totaled I came up with a value of $35.99 for the Mass Appeal box and I am super happy with it.  I only paid $15 for it, so I got more than double my money’s worth!  This is such a great way to try some of those items you see at the drugstore without breaking the bank!

    I use Josie Maran powder everyday. It is awesome and has SPF in it so I feel like its a little extra protection so I’m going with the oil. I don’t like those kinds of things on my face either but I will try it on my hair. I just got one as a freebie sample from Sephora so its ready to go.

  144. Jennifer Pittman

    I love Burt’s Bees!

  146. Tricia Graf McBroom

    I would love to try the Argan oil!

  147. Stephanie

    I got these boxes and my nail polish was a deep reddish maroon color called “jam”. I really like it because I use it on my toes and if I only have time for one coat then it’s ok because it covers enough the first time that I don’t necessarily have to make multiple coats. 🙂 I also thought the burts bees lip gloss was very smooth on my lips and didn’t feel at all like a thick lipstick which is why I prefer lipgloss. I was pretty happy with both boxes!!
