Another Birchbox

I got my second Birchbox in! It was nice, not as amazing as last months, but still good! It seems like I got repeats of items, another lotion, another perfume, another SPF. I'm sure my profile indicates that those are the things I would be interested in, but I don't think I want those 3 things every month. I'll still probably use all of these things, and a lot of these it's nice to have them in travel sizes!

1. Cool Tinted Matte SPF 30 for Face - I like that this has a tint to it. This will be nice on one of those days I'm going to be outside and don't really want to worry about my make-up. 

2. Gilchrist & Soames London Collection Body Lotion - Another lotion, great to just throw into your purse on hot summer days. . . nobody wants dry legs! It does smell very nice, it doesn't seem as thick as the lotion I got last month from Perlier, but we'll see!

3. Joie Folle de Joie Eau de Parfum - Wow that took some work to type out correctly! This perfume is a little too old for my taste. . . I think maybe it had a little too much rose to the scent? O well!

4. Number 4 Hair Hydrating Shampoo - I'm excited about this, they also sent a conditioner that goes with this. It will be great when we take a quick weekend trip. 

5. Vasanti Cosmetics BrightenUp! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator - This is supposed to be a "customer fave". It looks like a exfoliating facial scrub, which is always nice in the summer!

Good Birchbox overall. I might go and edit my profile, just to make sure I get a couple of different things this next time!

P.S. see that beautiful table the box is on? I'll finally tell you guys about it tomorrow!

Birchbox

Well. . . I finally bit the bullet and tried out Birchbox. I follow the Small Things Blog, and a couple of other ones that regularly review Birchboxes, and they always seem to get awesome stuff! However, I have a few friends that tried it out, and they weren't that impressed. Some of you may tried it out this past month because Birchbox had a coupon code for a $5 box! I figured this is the best time to try it, there have been plenty of times when I've basically thrown away $5 in the store buying something I never used. If my Birchbox was a fail it wouldn't bother me too much!

Birchbox did not disappoint!! I was so surprised and thoroughly excited about how great my box was. With the exception of the SPF 30 which I should probably use. . . I know I will use all of these items, and some of them I already have!

1. Beauty Protector Protect & Detangle - I currently use a volumizing detangler, and sometimes I use a heat protection spray. . . this stuff will give me the best of both worlds!

2. Cynthia Rowley Beauty Black Eyeliner - I normally wear dark dark brown eyeliner on a daily basis, and save black eyeliner for when I am dressing up. I decided to give this eyeliner a try this morning, and it went on very smoothly!

3. Harvey Prince Hello - I'm a little picky about my perfume. . . so I almost changed my answer when they asked if I would be open to receiving fragrance samples. I'm glad now that I kept that yes! This perfume is very light, and a wonderful summer scent. I put it on this morning and my husband complimented it about 5 seconds later! 

4. Perlier Shea ALmond Body Cream - This is a good travel size lotion, it has a nice scent, and I love things with shea in them. . . they always seem to be super moisturizing! I'll probably throw this in my purse for when I'm traveling and my skin dries out!

5. Supergoop! Everyday SPF 30 - I am so terrible about using sunscreen on a daily basis. . . I'm actually terrible about wearing it anytime! This is a cute little bottle, that I'll probably use on my face when we go to the beach or lake. I think I'll keep my SPF 10 to get those tan arms and legs!

I was very pleased with my Birchbox and will continue my subscription! I do think a major part of why I was so happy with it, is because I took my time on the survey they give you! That determines what you will be getting, and if you kind of blow it off, you can't expect them to match your tastes and interests! I can't wait until next month!
