May Birchbox: Gossip Girl Edition!
My May Birchbox arrived two days early, right on my birthday! This month, Birchbox teamed up with Gossip Girl to give us Birchboxers products that Serena and Blair would die for! Even though I haven't watched Gossip Girl religiously since season 2, I was excited for this collaboration!
Inside my box:
Arquiste L'Etrog fragrance
Warm notes of citron, palm leaves, and myrtle combine in this transporting scent, inspired by the aromas of a medieval harvest festival in Calabria, Italy.
beautyblender blendercleaner
Keep your makeup sponges and brushes in prime condition with this soy-based formula, which removes built-up bacteria and oil.
Color Club Nail Polish in Disco Nap
Give nails a guilder look with this luxe metallic polish.
Dr. Jart+ Waterfuse BB Cream
Think of this four-in-one moisturizer, serum, sunscreen, and skin-protecting tint as the (extremely stylish) Swiss Army Knife of your beauty lineup.
twistband Skinny Headband
Keep your hair perfectly in place with these colorful elastic headbands.

I have to say, the notecard is absolutely adorable! Immediately after seeing it, I went to the Birchbox website to order more, but they're already sold out. So I had to sign up for an e-mail to find out when they are back in stock! The perfume is slightly more musky than most of the scents I wear, but I figure I may give it a try just for something different. I got the beauty blender cleaner, except that I was not one of the people who got the actual beauty blender sponge in their box a few months ago. So I guess I should probably buy some so I can actually use my cleaner. I really love the gold metallicness of the nail polish, can't wait to try it! I'm interested to try this Dr. Jart+ cream since it is a 4-in-1 product that includes sunscreen. Perfect for summertime, especially when I'm outside so much. I'm not that excited about the twist band because I haven't had much luck with hair bands like these staying in my hair, especially while I'm working out which is when I wear them the most. In my opinion, they slide off too easily.
