June Birchbox Review

Yeah for the Birchbox!!!

It's fun to get a small package in the mail...okay, it's fun to get big packages also...

First thing I noticed?  They changed the box.  The cute pink lettering is gone.  It's just white lettering now.

*sigh*

The things I notice and miss...

The new box...and why it's sideways, I do not know...the picture isn't saved like that on my computer...

Inside...

Lotion...

Facial scrub...

Lip & cheek stain...

Nail Polish...

Gum!

Postcards...

Descriptions and my opinions...

Antica Farmacista/Body Moisturizer in Grapefruit

What: Freshly scented, antioxidant-packed moisturizer from Italy.

How: Apply a generous amount to clean skin.

-ok...i want to like this.  i really really do.  and i keep trying it here and there... not before bed, because grapefruit is supposed to be invigorating and i need help getting to sleep, not staying awake...but...i can't really give this a thumbs up or a thumbs down.  i don't dislike it...

Birchbox+Color Club/Wanderlust Collection

What: Exclusive neon pastel shades inspired by four of our favorite cities.

How: Two coats will give you an opaque, glossy finish.

-did NOT think i would like this.  especially after the previous nail polish they sent me that i didn't care for.  but, i thought...eh...try the weird color.  so i did.  and i was loving it more and more with each brushstroke.  i did my "accent nail" a dark purple.  and i loved my nails.  my husband didn't really care for it...he didn't dislike it, he just thought it odd.  but me?  i love it enough for both of us.  i will use this bottle up...will i buy the full-size?  just might.  i wonder what city this one was inspired by.  thumbs up!  both of them!

Mirenesse/Glossy Kiss Lipstick

What: This user-friendly pencil is a goof-proof way to score high-impact lips.

How: Layer on lips for a glossy look or blot for a pretty matte stain.

-tried it.  on my lips and on my cheeks...like the package says...and...i don't know.  i don't normally wear red on my lips.  i like it...i just...don't...know... it works exactly how it says.  it even worked nicely as a cheek stain.  haven't decided whether to keep it or pass it on to a daughter.

suki/Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser

What: Two-in-one cleanser and exfoliator that magically lathers and smells deliciously lemony.

How: Massage a nickel-sized amount onto damp skin, then rinse.

-oh...i loved this stuff.  love it.  unfortunately, right now, i have facial cleansers i need to use up, so i can't justify buying the full size.  maybe in the future.  love this.  thumbs up.

Glee Gum/Sugar-free Glee Gum

What: Chew on this-this all-natural gum has no artificial ingredients.

How: Keep in your purse.  Pop a piece whenever you need to freshen up.

-if you know me, you know i love gum.  not this gum.  go find yourself an old MRE and get the ancient chiclets gum out and chew on it.  it'll be the same experience.  thumbs down.  both thumbs down.

Postcards...

-they sent me a row of postcards.  they'll probably end up being scratch paper.

 I'm keeping my subscription to the Birchbox.  I'm looking forward to seeing what little treasures I get next month.

Yeah, using that link gets me points.  It's okay.  What goes around comes around.  You can have your people give you points.  Plus, I want to see what I can do with points... They have women boxes and men boxes.  I love that the men's costs more, because how often does that happen in the real world?  The website will tell you a four-week wait time for the women's subscription, but I started my subscription April 14th and got April's box a few days later.
