June Birchbox

I have been subscribed to Birchbox for over a year and have been loving it! Birchbox is a  monthly subscription service in where you pay 10 dollars and you receive a box through the mail. Each box contains about five or six deluxe sized makeup related products. The products can range anywhere from make-up, hair care, skincare, or any lifestyle product. So far I have received a lot of hair products and make-up. I love the idea of Birchbox because you get to sample products without having to purchase the full-size product which can add up very quickly, especially when they high-end products. Also since they deluxe sized samples, they will last you enough for you to see if you like the product but also you can switch up often since they are small sized. I like to use a lot of the products like shampoo and lotion for when I travel that way if I spill it or leave it at the hotel its not a big deal, plus its easier to pack. Also a huge plus is that if you review the products you received in your monthly box you receive points which accumulate into money that you can spend.


This month's Birchbox was a good one! I received (insert number) products this month and I was excited about most of the products. I'll list below the products with a mini review of each.

1. The first product I tried was the LAQA & Co. Sheer Lip Lube Pencil in the color Bee's Knees. It is a coral nude color so it is not for everybody. For my skin and lip color this was a good shade because it was natural looking almost like my lip color but more nude so it is great for those days you wanna wear darker eye make-up. I plan on using this product a lot during the summer.

2. The second product I gravitated towards was the Cynthia Rowley eyeliner in the color black. This is going to become my everyday eyeliner this summer. It is creamy therefore easy to apply. The size I received was not full size yet it is going to last me a very long time. This came at a great time because I'm running out of my other pencil eyeliner is running out.

3. The third product I received was a Perlier body cream. This was a nice item to add to the box because you can always use more lotion especially if it is small enough to fit in your purse. It is very moisturizing and the smell is pleasant. It is thicker than regular body lotion but not as rich as hand cream.

4. The fourth product I received was my least favorite which is the SARAHPOTEMPA The Half Up. This is similar to Hot Bunz or anything you would use to make a sock bun/top knot. I am not a fan of huge buns I prefer loose messy buns. With that being said, I did not actually try this seeing how it is meant for the type of bun I'm not fond of.

5. The fifth product I received was an English Laundry Perfume. I enjoyed that this perfume sample unlike most has a spray nozzle which is super helpful. I am not a huge fan of the usual sample perfume container with the cap, it is difficult to actually apply.

I recommend this to anyone who likes to try out make-up without spending tons of money. If you would like to try Birchbox let me know and I will send you an invite. Also I left the lotion in my car which is why it is not in the picture.
