My July Birchbox arrived in the mail today- I was so excited! From the moment Gia woke up she was just as fussy as she was adorable today. Add record high temperatures and you've got the makings of a tired day. This perked me right up! I absolutely love everything in this box!! Which really excites me because the past few months, there have been a couple of items I was just like, "meh" about. But I love all of this! On to the goodies....
(From left to right)
Sheer Glo Shimmer Lotion- this looks intriguing. It says to mix it with foundation or use it as a highlighter. Since I don't use foundation in the summer, I am going to try the highlighting option.
Blinc mascara- SO STOKED about this! In fact, I've been holding off buying new mascara in the hopes that I would get one in a Birchbox soon! This is the full-sized item. Score! Worth the $10 right there.
Minteas Mints- Haven't tried these yet, but the little tin they come in is super cute!
Julot lip gloss- I LOVE THIS! I tried it on as soon as I opened the box. It makes my lips look very nautrally shiny. But it tints them the shade that I wish they naturally were, then just adds some gloss. It stays on really well, too.
Ear buds- I always need an extra pair of these for the gym! Woo hoo!
Oscar de la Renta Live in Love fragrance- I love OdlR. In fact, my bedspread is Oscar de la Renta. This is a great scent, though it doesn't seem totally summer-y to me. I think I will just tuck it away until fall or winter. Am I the only one who is kinda weird about scents like that? I like them to match the seasons.
On another note: for my fellow Birchbox subscribers, do you guys have any creative recycling uses for the box? Its such a great, sturdy box, I really hate to throw it away. I can keep them for gift wrapping at christmas, but was wondering if anyone had any other great ideas. :)
