A little review on the products for people who have not received theirs yet:
Alex and Ani Silver Swan Bracelet - I was hoping for the firefly, but got this one instead. I like it, even though I probably wont wear it often.
Alex and Ani Scent 7 Bar Soap - Very big size, and rather heavy. If you plain on useing it, it will probably last you for months. The scent is not my type, but I gave it to someone I know (male), and they seem to like it. Although this is intended for a woman's scent, for me is was more masculine.
Nails Inc Brook Street Nail Polish - Love this color! I think it is perfect for spring! I decided to last minute apply this before going to an important event last night, and it has already chipped. I only put one coat on though without prepping or putting a top coat on afterwards since I was out of time, but I think if you did so it would not chip so easily.
Bamboo Volume Plumping Strand Expand - Love this! I have fine wavy hair, and this did wonders to it! After getting out of the shower I comb my hair and put it into a turbie twist like I do everyday, I do this to get out my hair out of the way and dry it a little before blow drying. Once I took my hair out it was damp, but not to wet. I ran this through my hair from roots to end and blow dried it, oh the volume! It made my hair look so much thicker and more healthy! Love this!
Black Rose Cream Mask - I have not tried this yet, but the smell is lovely!
Liplift Peel - I have heavily chapped and cracked lips in the winter no matter what I try, this helped a lot though! It is a gentle lip scrub, but very moisturizing.
Over all I loved this month's box! I saw the Ciate spoiler for next month and can not wait!
I really liked the bar soap, and so did my husband. It's a nice unisex fragrance, imo. Reminds me of the balance me body wash, whose fragrance i also loved. I don't think it will last us a month, but we have 2 of us using it hear every day, and the kids probably use it too.
Regarding the nail polish, I haaaaaate getting nail polish, but I just got a hot pink lipstick from Milani and this matches perfectly. Like you said, it's a very nice spring and summer shade. I hate using polish on my hands because I wash my dishes by hand and polish last at most 2 days with me before chiping. I just bought the orly rubber base coat, which is supposed to help a lot. I sued that, two coats of the nails inc, and a sally hansen diamond top coat. The color is lovely, and if it lasts I will probably be buying this again, or trading for it at the very least.
I also tried the alterna bamboo expand, but it gave my hair that hard to comb texture that I don't like. I guess I just prefer silkiness over volume. It did give me a lot of volume, so if you don't mind losing the smoothness, this will work out well.
