BIRCHBOX #3 ::The Tig - Ready, Set, Summer Box:: Unboxing for June 2015 ♥

My final Birchbox this month, the guest editor box.

'The Tig -- Ready, Set, Summer Box'.

And with this box, I closed my third account so I'm back to my original 2 accounts.

A message by Meghan Markle, the actress who curated this month's Guest Editor Box.

The info card.

My secret code for this box was for 20% off a $50+ purchase..

Meh...

A first look.

Davines SU Hair & Body wash

Interesting that it  works for both hair and body.

I like the scent--it's a mild clean scent and this is perfect for a travel or gym bag.

My Sample Value $6.75

Harvey Prince Hello Body Cream

I've mentioned it before but the 'Hello' series is my favorite line by Harvey Prince.

It just smells sooo good.

This is the body cream.

My Sample Value $0.91

Marcelle BB cream - *golden glow*

This is a dupe this month but like I said in my previous post, I'll use this as a bronzer type.

My Sample Value $3.68

Real Chemistry 3-minute Peel

I'm actually not a fan of this product...It works great but I wouldn't apply this to my face.

My sister might give this a try.

My Sample Value $4.80

Oribe Cote d'Azur Eau de Parfum

It's a nice smell and it's quiet fancy.
My Sample Value $2.55

Swatch.

Overall, I thought the featured box was just ok.

A lot of the items were given out in previous months.

It didn't have that 'wow' factor but I'll use at least half of these.

The total value of this box (roughly) comes to $18.69

BIRCHBOX #3 ::Birchbox + Cupcakes and Cashmere:: Contents for May 2015 ♥

This is a delayed post from last month's Birchbox.

I opened a 3rd account to take advantage of the Free BeautyBlender Promo.

Well, the BeautyBlender was supposedly shipped separately but I never received it.

I finally contacted customer service and they said they were out of stock..

But I got an email it was being sent separately! And my promo code was accepted...

I was so bummed out...

So the CS girl let me pick a free item from the bonus shop and I found a white BeautyBlender (opposed to the pink one) and she shipped it overnight to me free of charge. 

She also added a mystery sample pack for the trouble.

I received my blender yesterday so I'm finally posting this unboxing.

Info card.

SHU UEMURA Art of Hair Cleansing Oil Shampoo

Wow, this sample is huge!  

I've read great things about this shampoo.  I believe it's a high end product.

I wish a conditioner sample was included too.

My Sample Value $10.68 for 75ml

CoTZ Flawless Complexion SPF 50

This is a dupe.

I've been using the other one and it works great as a face sunscreen.

My Sample Value $1.45

JUARA Candlenut Body Creme

I think this was also a dupe item.

But it's a very nice body creme and now I have more!

My Sample Value $1.72

Prescriptives False Eyelashes Plush Mascara

This is a favorite among some beauty bloggers.

I can't wait to try this one out!

My Sample Value $11.50

Chosungah 22 Flavorful Lipstick

Birchbox started carrying new Korean beauty products.

This is one of them.  Look at the lipstick!

It's a clear orange...but when I apply it to my lips and give it a few minutes, it starts to turn into a light pink shimmer.  See the swatch below.

My Sample Value $18.00 (Full size!)

My BeautyBlender and mystery sample pack that finally arrived yesterday.

BeautyBlender - *Pure*

Unfortunately, this isn't the 'original' beautyblender... I still don't see how they were out of stock when I received a confirmation.  But o well...

This one is the 'pure' beauty blender.  

This item has been trending for some time now and I'll finally get to put it to the test!

My Sample Value $19.95 (Full size!)

whish body butter - *almond*

This is a dupe...I received it a couple months ago.  Although I love whish body butters, the almond scent is too strong for me.  This will go in my giveaway pile.

My Sample Value $3.52

Marcelle BB Cream - Golden Glow

This will be a dupe...I'm actually receiving this BB cream in my June box.

But I feel like you can never have enough BB creams ♥

My Sample Value $3.68

So this is my 3rd account.

Now that I received my blender, I will be canceling this account before it gets charged for the July box.  I'm glad I managed to still get a beauty blender...that was all I needed.

The total value of this box (roughly) comes to $70.50.

That's including the free blender and mystery sample packs.

BIRCHBOX June 2015 sneak peek...♥

My favorite time of the month...Birchbox sneak peeks of our box!

Also, this month the box designs are so pretty!

Love the gradient colors and I don't care which one I get because I like them all.

There will be 3 designs....And this month's theme is 'Adventure'.

For Box #1 I chose the Skyn Iceland Eye Gels as my Sample Choice

This box will include:

Beauty Protector Protect & Detangle

Marcelle BB Cream Golden Glow

COOLA Classic SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturizer for Face

Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels

Emi Jay Printed Hair Tie

First off, super excited to be receiving a 6 item box!

And I really really like what I see!

I finally got the Beauty Protector Detangler ♥

For Box #2 I chose the Dr. Jart Micro Water as my Sample Choice

This Box will include:

Supergoop! Everyday SPF 50 with Cellular Response Technology

Dr. Jart+ Dermaclear Micro Water

Pura Vida Lace Headband

Coastal Scents Revealed 3 Palette Quad Sampler

Really happy with the contents of this box as well.

A headband is included...Oooo ♥

For Box #3 I reserved the Guest Editor Box

'The Tig Box' will include:

Marcelle BB Cream Golden Glow

Real Chemistry Luminous 3-Minute Peel

Harvey Prince Hello Body Cream

Oribe Cote d'Azur Fragrance

Davines SU Hair & Body Wash

Yes, I now have 3 boxes...It's because I took advantage of a new subscription promo last month.

I'm still waiting on my free Beauty Blender.

I'll probably cancel this account next month or so.

But anyways, I elected the Guest Editor Box of the month, The Tig Box.

Excited for everything but the Real Chemistry Peel.

It's not a favorite of mine but I'll still use it.  Or maybe my sister might try?

Did you check your possible box contents?

Remember, they aren't official until the 10th every month, so it's possible some items might change.

All 3 boxes shipped for me but I'll be getting them days apart.

I should be getting my first box by the end of this week ♫

BIRCHBOX May 2015 sneak peek ::NEW Account with GWP::♥

Yes, this is crazy....I'm crazy and officially addicted...

I opened up a 3rd account with Birchbox with their new GWP.

(Gift With Purchase)

If you use code BLEND, new subscribers will receive a free beautyblender sponge AND cleaner.

A $26 value.

I've been wanting a beauty blender for a LONG time.

But they are just too pricey.

This deal was too good to pass up...

For $10, I am getting the beautyblender + cleanser + 5 samples.

I don't plan on keeping this 3rd account active for too long.

Remember, you can cancel anytime.

Besides, with too many accounts I'm afraid I will receive too many repeats.

Speaking of my new additional account, I checked my page today and the contents loaded.

I'm super happy!

Since this was my 'first box' with this account, I couldn't choose a sample which is fine.

It's going to be a complete surprise!

For Box#3 I will receive:

SHU UEMURA Art of Hair Cleansing Oil Shampoo

JUARA Candlenut Body Creme (dupe)

CoTZ Flawless Complexion SPF 50 (dupe)

Prescriptives False Eyelashes Plush Mascara

Chosungah 22 Flavorful Lipstick

Other than the 2 dupes I will be getting, this is an awesome box!!

Shu Uemura I've heard great things, mascara is always welcome and the coveted new Korean brand will be in my box!  Somehow these 3 items make up for the 2 other dupes I'm getting.  PLUS a FREE beautyblender.
