Birchbox really got it right this time, from the cute box all the way to the last sample. Everything was perfect and I was happy about it all. I got a few things I’ve been wanting to try and everything smells delicious! This month’s box was a collaboration with Women’s Health Magazine and I greatly appreciated the cute box and package!
My Box:
The July Birchbox was my favorite in a while! I love everything inside and it was 100% worth the $10 this month!
What’s Inside:
100% Pure Gingerade Shower Gel
Sample Size: 2 ml (individually) Value: $0.15 (combined)
This honey cream wash is 100% natural and vegetarian and it’s full of nutrients that sooth your skin. It foams really well and smells fantastic! I wish I just got one, bigger (not foil) container.
Harvey Prince Hello Body Creme
Sample Size: 15 ml Value: $0.92
While coconut oil is in pretty much everyone’s DIY hand lotions now, this one already has it as an ingredient and is also infused with Harvey Prince’s fragrance. It smells very fresh and absorbed very well and the scent actually stayed on my skin!
LAQA & Co. Lip Lube Pencil in Menatour
Full Size: 0.07 oz Value: $18.00
This lip crayon is super glossy and semi-sheer but easily buildable! The color was quite purple but looks fabulous on my mother so I gave it to her. Containing shea butter, this lip lube moisturizes your lips and is refreshingly infused with mint.
Number 4 Super Comb Prep & Protect
Sample Size: 30 ml Value: $4.80
This leave-in-conditioner is sulfate free and protects color and strengthens your hair. My favorite part is that it smells exactly like blueberry muffins to me. It isn’t too thick that it is gooey but thick enough to feel like it is helping my hair. It also has UV protection and actually repairs your hair.
Real Chemistry Luminous 3-Minute Peel
Sample Size: 0.17 oz Value: $4.80
I wanted to try a chemical peel and about a week later, this shows up in my Birchbox like it read my mind. This peel isn’t like a peel off mask, it is a chemical peel that you massage into your face to get off dry skin cells. It instantly softens, brightens and softens your skin and it doesn’t irritate sensitive skin. As a bonus, it reduces acne scars, dark spots and blotchiness. It also controls breakouts, reduces ingrown hairs, and evens your skin tone.
