Birchbox August 2012


Excuse me for the month delay in this arrival but I've been so caught up in my new job and school that I've let this one slip. But better late than never!! And the good thing is I can give you my opinion on these products since I've had all month to try them out! 
This month's Birchbox was focused on back to school with their very own Beauty School guide filled with tips and tricks on how to keep yourself looking fresh all year long. 

What's In The Box 

WEI Buffing Beads and Facial Mask - I was sent two packets of WEI Pomegranate buffing beads along with a fruit face mask. Ever since I got my first WEI facial product from Birchbox earlier this year I've been in love. I mixed the buffing beads into my everyday Philosophy cleanser to help smooth out my skin and get rid of all those yucky dead cells, then I would lay out on the face mask to help fill my skin with nutrients and keep my face looking extra refreshed. These were def my favorite products in the box.  (My Rate - ✭✭✭✭✭)

SHICK Razor - Not much to say about this item but Shick's are great and they even included a discount coupon to purchase more razor heads.  (My Rate - ✭✭✭✭)

Viva La Juicy Le Fleur Perfume - Juicy always has really great scents and this one took Viva La Juicy to a different level with the floral hints. I threw this in my bag for a quick refresher and found myself going through it pretty quickly. (My Rate - ✭✭✭✭)

BEAUTY FIXATION Cuticle Conditioner -  I have used the least but have seemingly needed the most. My cuticles have been getting so dry since I've been handling clothing for hours almost every day at work. These are great little portable q-tips that you can snap and a moisturizer will come out the tip which you can rub in all over your cuticles. I find my cuticules looking much more moisturized. (My Rate - ✭✭✭)

STILA Foundation/ Concealer Sample- This was a bust. I tried to play around with them and found that the colors were way to dark for my skin tone. I wish I had received something a little lighter but oh well. (My Rate - ✭)

So there ya have it, my Birchbox experience for the month of August. I just received my September box so stay tuned for a post about it!
