Haul: Just my new BirchBox that came yesterday. It was just ok. It was my first and I was a little disappointed in the sample sizes. Thought they’d be more deluxe. I did like my selection pretty well though. I’m holding off and purchasing much because I’m waiting on the Sephora sale. I may have to hit the EL counter at Nordstrom since they’ve got a decent GWP though.
