June Birchbox Reveal

What was on the box
- Borghese botanical eye compresses
- Jouer luminizing moisture tint
- Scalisi Skincare anti-aging moisturizer broad spectrum SPF 30
- The Balm Cosmetics stainiac in beauty queen
- Band-Aid Cynthia Rowley dress up Band-Aids
- Birchbox Man John Varvatos

Out of my three beauty box subscriptions I get every month Birchbox is by far my favorite. Not only are there lots of samples in each box but they are expensive products that I would never purchase with my own money. For example the Scalisi Skincare moisturizer at full size is $110!!! And all I pay is $10 per month to try these high quality products, you gotta love that. If you would like to subscribe goto www.Birchbox.com.

I finally got my first shipment from The Look Bag.  As you know from my recent posts I am subscribed to a total of 5 such services, 3 beauty and 2 hair subscription services.  I have gotten some really great stuff in my other boxes this month.  As for this shipment....Meh. It is just ok.  The lip glosses seem pretty cool. I like the colors, but a L'Oreal eyeshadow?? Really? I expect more.  I am not going to cancel just yet. I will give them one more month and we will see what is in June's shipment. The nail polish is cute too.  I'm sure my daughters will have fun with those.  So stay tuned for more.

Ohhhhh I almost forgot.  Please subscribe by entering your email in the upper right hand corner. I will be doing a giveaway next week and if you are subscribed you will be the first to know.

What's inside

-  Arquiste perfume sample

- Caudalie hand and nail cream

- Fusion Beauty LipFusion Balm

- Ojon Damage Reverse Restorative Conditioner

-  Birch Box Extra Pink Note Card and Envelope

I LOVE My Birch Box Subscription!!!! Out of all my subscription services (5 in total) this is one of my favorites. I love beauty products as much as I love hair products and Birch Box always has great items.  I really like that each month they have a different theme.  This month was a Gossip Girl theme and while I don't watch the tv show I really like the box.  I was really excited about the Ojon damage reverse conditioner. I have been wanting to try Ojon products for a long time but they are very expensive and I just never took the plunge. So I can not wait to use it.  You know I will post a review once I do. Yay hair products!! ; D The hand cream smells great so that is going straight in my purse.   The perfume smells really good too. The lip balm.. Meh, you know I'm a lip gloss girl so we will see.  I love the note card too  hmm might have to send a special someone a little note.   All in all I really like this months box.  I still have 3 more subscription boxes I am waiting on for May so satay tuned for those. 

May My Shade Of Brown Reveal

My Shade Of Brown Pillow Box

$10 per month subscription service

available at www.myshadeofbrown.com

The contents of my May My Shade of Brown Pillow Box

-  Nourishea  Mango Body Wash

-  Nourishea  Tea Tree Oil Shampoo

-  High Quality Organics  Premium Body Oil

-  Komplexx Blends Cosmetics Eye Light in Bronze

My Shade Of Brown is a monthly beauty subscription service geared toward women of color.  For a $10 per month fee they mail you 4-6 deluxe samples of beauty products to try before you buy.  If you like an item you can go to their web site and purchase the item usually at a discounted price or with free shipping. There are many services like this one (as you know I am currently signed up for 5 subscription services.) but what drew me to this one is it is for women of color so I expected to get things more suited to my coloring and that would look good on me.  There was only one color item in this shipment which was the eye shadow and it is in bronze, which does look really good on me.  This past month they were running a special for only $5 for your first shipment so this kit only cost me half of what I will normally pay.  The problem for me is I do get other subscription kits and so I have something to compare this to. I get much bigger samples from major name brand companies from my Birch Box.  Soooo I have to say I am not really impressed so far. I think I will give them one more month and see how the next shipment is before I cancel but if the next one is not better I will be cancelling this one.  Stay tuned to see what I get in my other subscription boxes for May. I have received shipment confirmations so I should be getting them in the next few days and I will do blog posts the day after I get them.
