June Birchbox: Jet Set |
First up is a full sized stila one step bronze, which retails for $36. I've been looking a bit peaked lately and could use some color. This supposedly serves as a bronzer, anti-aging serum, and primer all-in-one, so I'll try this under the BB cream I've been using.
Next is a sample sized Stainaic in Beauty Queen by the balm, regularly priced $17, sample worth about $1.80. I love water based lip and cheek stains and this will be a perfect purse sized one.
I also got 2 packets of self-tanning towelettes by Comodynes Urban Cosmetics, which is a brand from Barcelona, Spain. I will be using these pronto, as my legs need color too. The value of these is about $3.75, as a packet of 8 sells for $14.99.
Another exciting (to me) item is the Pore Minimizing Mask by Masqueology, a South Korean brand. I tried my first sheet mask facials recently (review tomorrow), and I like them. It's an an easy, no mess way to do a facial which I found very refreshing. Three masks sell for $24, so my sample is worth $8.
There were two lifestyle extras this month - the men's cologne sample and a fancy ziplock type bag to put carry on items in when you are flying. The bag is a nice size and feels quite sturdy, plus has a pretty design on it. I'm guessing the men's cologne is in honor of upcoming Father's Day, as well as a way for Birchbox to promote their men's version of Birchbox.
I'm a happy camper with this month's box, even if my jetsetting is limited to places I can get to and back home in a day! The value of this box, not counting the lifestyle extras, is about $50. It looks like Birchbox has teamed up with Glamour for a Five Senses July box. I give Birchbox kudos for continuing to expand and for teaming up with the likes of Teen Vogue, Gossip Girl, and Glamour.

ReplyDeleteIt is a bit expensive! I'll definitely have an upcoming review on this.
DeleteWow, your box is awesome! I would have loved to get the Stila bronzer in mine, bummer. :(
ReplyDeleteI have really lucked out with Birchbox the past few months! I would love to know how the box designation process is determined.
DeleteGREAT box! really excited about the glamour box next month!
ReplyDeleteI loved the bronzer! What a deal, full size for $10!
ReplyDeleteI know! I lucked out this month.
DeleteI wanted that bronzer SO BAD! I am scared to buy it and then hate it, so you need to let me know what you think of it. Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteI've got a review of the bronzer scheduled for June 22. The short version is - I like it!
