July Birchbox

It’s Birchbox time again! Here’s the lowdown on this month’s box, alot of great things to try! Yay!!!

Kérastase’s Bain Chroma Riche – Cleanse shampoo is different: the formula actually repairs texture to give you softer, healthier, and shinier hair. Not only will your tresses look more beautiful, but they’ll also smell amazing—a nice perk.

Benta Berry G-1 Moisturizing Face Cream – The French all seem to have one thing in common: perfect skin. Maybe it’s in their genes, but we suspect their savvy skincare regimes deserve equal credit. Behold this unisex moisturizer, a favorite of hip Parisian girls and guys, which hasn’t been available stateside until now. It’s made with an all-natural blend of botanicals to leave skin soft and matte.

Kérastase’s Masque Chroma Riche – Treat Highlighted and color-treated hair is especially prone to dryness and damage, but many color-specific products only mask the issue—the haircare equivalent of slapping a flimsy bandage on a gaping wound. Kérastase’s Masque Chroma Riche Treat conditioner actually gets to the root of the problem (pun intended): the formula repairs texture to give you softer, healthier, and shinier hair.

Birchbox Bobby Pins – bobby pins are a must-have in every beauty arsenal—and there’s no reason you need to hide them. This exclusive set of six chicly patterned pins adds instant style to all your ‘dos—display them proudly.

Pur Minerals CC Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 40 – Think of this CC cream as your favorite BB cream’s older (and wiser) sister. Like her kid sis, CC moisturizes, primes, brightens, and conceals, but also takes it to the next level by tackling dark spots and uneven skin tone. The result? An even, dewy, youthful finish.

ModelCo Party Proof Lipstick – This hydrating, semi-matte lip color lives up to its cheeky moniker. Whether you’re heading to a backyard BBQ or a black tie gala, it’s guaranteed to stay put through plates of baby back ribs, champagne toasts, and beyond.

My June Birchbox!

I have to say it is so extremely hard for me to wait an entire month to receive my next Birchbox.  I look at the sneak peeks that Birchbox sends out but still you never really know what all you will be receiving.  Here is what was included in my box this month.

1. Birchbox + Color Club

Wanderlust Collection | Exclusive neon pastel shades inspired by four of our favorite cities.

2. Klorane

Gentle Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk | Beloved by clebs, an award winning oil-buster that revives second-day styles.

3. Oscar de la Renta

Something Blue | The brand’s latest scent, a lovely blend of mandarin and linden blossoms.

4. suki

Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser | Two in one cleanser and exfoliator that magically lathers and smells deliciously lemony.

5. The Laundress

Wash and Stain Bars | A savior for those times when white shirts meet deliciously drippy food-truck grub.

 

So tell me what did you receive in your box this month?

It’s Christmas Every Month With Birchbox!

This is my second month receiving Birchbox.  I absolutely love it! In fact when I receive the email saying it has shipped out I am absolutely giddy. The thing I really love about Birchbox is that you get to try out all different kinds of lifestyle and beauty samples for $10 a month and that includes shipping. You really cannot beat that.  I like to try new products but I am always hesitant to spend $30 or $40 dollars for a product that I’m not even sure I’m going to like.  So, Birchbox solves that problem for me!  Also sometimes the samples you receive are full size products, awesome!  On their website you are able customize the boxes to some of your preferences, like skin types or what kind of products you like to use.

Here is what is in my May Birchbox:

May Birchbox

 

Beauty Protector | Protect & Detangle : Great for all hair types, this nourishing elixir locks in color, adds shine, and instantly detangles.

COOLA | Classic Face SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturizer for Face : This mineral sunblock is infused with organic antiaging ingredients like evening primrose extract and borage seed oil.

Joie | Folle de Joie eau de parfum : For its debut scent, the chic fashion brand created this carefree mix of mandarin, rose and sandalwood.

Sumita | Color Contrast Eyeliner : Inspired by traditional Indian formulas, this velvety liner glides on easily and lasts for hours.

My Beauty Extra was Tweezerman | Matchbox Itty Bitty Nail Files : Keep these cute mini files in your purse to fix mani mishaps.

I cannot wait to try out all of these products but I think the one I’m most excited about this month is COOLA. I love that it is organic and that is a mineral sunblock!
