June Birchbox
Just in time for summer road trips, this month's Birchbox theme is "Away We Go".
In my box:
Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Mascara
What: Formula with all-day wear for lashes so long and thick, you may be accused of fakery.
How: Gently wiggle the wand from the roots to the tips of lashes.
Cynthia Rowley Beauty Creamy Lipstain in Valentine
What: A long-wearing stain from the NYC-based designer that gives unbeatable moisture and shine.
How: Sweep over lips and the applicator wand. Repeat for a heavier dose of pigment.
English Laundry Signature for Her
What: Inspired by English gardens, this charmer balances floral and woodsy notes.
How: Apply to pulse points and enjoy the sophisticated bouquet.
Evologie Stay Clear Cleanser
What: Nondrying wash that battles blemishes and soothes skin with a patent-pending YS3 Complex.
How: Gently massage a dime-sized amount into damp face. Rinse and follow with moisturizer.
Number 4 Hair Super Comb Prep & Protect
What: A sulfate-free conditioning spray that safeguards color and protects against UV rays.
How: Mist evenly into damp hair and style as usual.
**Birchbox Plus Add-On**
Pinch Provisions Skinny Miniemergency Kit
This gorgeous iridescent kit takes preparedness to the next level with 22 handy emergency essentials including: stain remover, floss, tweezers, a build-in mirror, and a host of other helpers. Perfect for travel, the new slim pouch design also makes this collection totally clutch-friendly. Whether you're traveling abroad or just out and about, you'll never find yourself in a pinch again!
My initial feelings about this box are kinda meh. I've received the mascara and the hair stuff in a box already and I HATE when they send perfume samples (and this brand's perfume smells like an old folks' home). The Cynthia Rowley lip stain is really pretty, though.
The thing I was most excited about was the Pinch Provisions kit (the add-on) because I always see them in Sephora and other stores and they look SO CUTE!
COOLA was one of the products being sampled this month and I really love their stuff, so I was hoping to get something from them in my box.
Oh well, c'est la vie!
I think it might be time for me to tweak my beauty profile.
