Birchbox wants us to keep cool and laugh our way into fall. Nah, I’m going to go kicking and screaming. 🙂 Anyway, the theme this month is “Lighten Up.”

LAQA & Co ~ Sheer Lip Lube Pencil in Menatour (Purple) This is supposed to be sheer. Purple is my favorite color but I’m to chicken to try this.

Neil George ~ Shampoo/Conditioner The smell reminds me of Pinesol. 0.O

Dr. Jart + ~ Dis-A-Pore Beauty Balm LOVE Korean beauty product.

**BEAUTY EXTRA**

Benefit Cosmetics ~ Total Moisture Facial Cream X2  OH I love the smell of this. It goes on so smooth too!

Birchbox, which is $10/month offers 4-6 hand-picked beauty and lifestyle samples, delivered to your door each month.

 

The theme for Birchbox in June is “Away We Go!” and included travel-ready samples, on-the-go inspiration and much more.  I received box #2 this month which contained the following items:

 

 

 

 

Dr. Hauschka ~ Body Wash. Sunflower seed and avocado oils work to maintain skin’s moisture balance, while quince seed and plant surfactants create a lightweight lather to wash away dirt and impurities without drying.

Evologie® ~ Stay Clear Cleanser. To banish blemishes without washing away the protective oils that the skin naturally produces, we turn this non-drying formula.

Paula’s Choice ~ RESIST Barrier Repair Moisturizer with Retinol. This wrinkle-fighting moisturizer gives a rejuvenating boost to our daily beauty regimen: It delivers much-needed moisture, evens tone, firms skin, and reduces the appearance of fine lines.

Cynthia Rowley ~ Beauty Creamy Lip Stain. i Actually love this shade!

Catherine Malandrino ~ Style de Paris – 3.4 oz. This scent from fashion designer Catherine Malandrino hits all the right notes with a playful yet sophisticated oriental fragrance mixed with fun fruits (think: Italian Mandarin, ruby red grapefruit, and Nashi pear). I’ve yet to open this.

Not a bad box. I’ll more than likely trade most of it besides the Lip Stain an the Dr H.

The Birchbox Limited Edition Modern Mermaid box is still available! It is the cutest box ever!

It’s $44 plus shipping, but I used saved points and got it cheap. I almost passed it up, but I’m glad I didn’t! I just have to share what the website says about the box:

For creatures that exist only in folklore, mermaids have a remarkable eye for enduring beauty trends.  And let’s admit it: we never really outgrew our wish to be transformed into one of their kind. From sea salt spray to waterproof liner, this box is a modern take on the mermaid tropes we all know and love. It’s guaranteed to help you

 

 

Captain Blankenship ~ Mermaid Mane Sea Salt Spray ($12) Not for me, but the bottle is super cute and this is the first spray that actually smells good. (for  beach spray)

COOLA ~ Liplux SPF 30 Original Formula ($12) I love COOLA SPF and I’m so happy to try their liblux!

Vasanti ~ Kajal Extreme Intense Eye Pencil in Electric Navy ($18) BEATIFUL but blue eyeliner isn’t for me. So so tempted to try this though. It looks soooooo smooth.

Anastasia Beverly Hills ~ Lash Genius Waterproof Topcoat ($12.16):  This is a a clear mascara that you put on over your normal mascara to make it waterproof. GENUIS INDEED! oh and it’s Paraben FREE!

RUFFIAN Endless Summer Collection Nail Polish Trio ($26.50): These colors are exclusive to Birchbox!! Endless Love (Pink)  Blue Lagoon (Blue) &  Sahara (Sand) These pictures do not do them justice!

 

Stephanie Johnson ~ Mermaid Mirror ($22) I am so in love with this mirror! Designed exclusively for Birchbox. I love how mine is more purple than blue. (shades vary) I also love the pattern variation on mine.

Atelier Cologne ~ Cédrat Enivrant Cologne Absolue ($7.88): WOW  I really really like this.  It’s described as a citrus scent with notes of lime with Moroccan cedrat, juniper and mint.  Summer in a bottle. NO DOUBT!

Be sure to add your Mystery Sample  Pack to your cart. (no code needed, but must add to cart) I got a full size Micheal Todd Cranberry Toner.
