BIRCHBOX August 2015 ::Sample Choice Emails:: ♥



Aaah my posts are not going up on time!
Sample choice emails went out on Tuesday for early access and Wednesday for everyone else.
This month we get to pick 1 of 4 products OR the guest editor box which features Nicole Richie this month ♥  Lucky me, I have two accounts with Birchbox so I typically opt for the Guest Editor box on one account and choose a sample on the other.  
Can I just say that the Nicole Richie box looks awesome??
I'm excited to find out which OPI polish shade I'll get in my box.


And here are the 4 samples to choose from this month.
(of course you can choose NOT to pick and be surprised)
I went for the R+Co Dry Shampoo because I love dry shampoo and this looks like a decent size.
What did you pick??

ipsy June 2015 Glam Room reveal ♥


Today we had the option to reveal our ipsy glam rooms.
Of course I want to see!
But first, this month's theme is 'Swim into beauty'.

I posted the bag design the other day and I'm still curious whether it's waterproof or not.
The teaser photo suggests that it is.
Interesting!


So at first glance I noticed that I'm not getting the Too Faced Melted lipstick.
I'm so sad....I really wanted it!
Instead, I got the smashbox primer which I probably won't really use. 
aaah well...



These are what I'm receiving this month:
J.Cat Beauty Liptitude Hydrating Stain (2 variations of color)
Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer
BioRepublic Skincare Sheet Mask Trio 
(3 sheet masks in Aloe Rescue, Cucumber Breeze and Green Tea Detox)
Lavanila Laboratories Body Butter in Pure Vanilla
tre'StiQue Mini Shadow Crayon (4 variations of color)

I will be sampling all 3 sheet masks!  How cool is that? It almost counts as 3 full items.
Also, the mini shadow crayon will have 4 different shades.  I hope I get the Marimoto Pink Pearl.  I'd prefer a color over another neutral/nude shadow.

BIRCHBOX June 2015 ::Sample Choice & Featured Box:: ♥



Early access sample choice is here! ♥
The 'regular' box features summertime skincare products as a sample choice
We also have the option to opt for the Guest Editor Box of the month.
This month, it's the Tig Guest Editor Box,  "Ready, Set, Summer Box".
ALSO, did you notice the "New Option" BB is offering?
It looks like you can now purchase the Guest Editor Box for an extra $10 if you want both the 'regular' and 'guest' box.  This means I won't need multiple accounts anymore!  This is the first month they are rolling this out and who knows if it will become a regular option or not.
I'm going to see what if they offer it again next month-- then I'll cancel my multiple accounts.


Sample choices this month are:
Dr. Jart+ Dermaclear Micro Water
Supergoop! Everyday SPF 50 with Cellular Response Technology
COOLA SPF 50 Sport - Mango
Skyn Iceland Hydro Cooling Firming Eye Gels

2 of these choices are sunscreen lotions.  I received a travel size Supergoop! sunscreen lotion in the 'Under The Sun Box' recently so I will not be choosing any of the sunscreens.
I'm very interested in the Microwater and Eye Gels though!

The Tig Guest Editor Box
"Ready, Set, Summer Box" will include:
Harvey Prince Hello Body Cream
Davines SU Hair & Body Wash
Eyeko Fat Liner - Black
Oribe Cote d'Azur Eau de Parfum
Real Chemistry Luminous 3-minute Peel

Not super excited about this curated box. I've tried the Real Chemistry Peel and I didn't care for it.  Everyone will receive the Fat Eyeliner in their 'regular' box so I'm surprised to see it also featured in the Guest Editor Box.  Otherwise, I love the "Hello" series by Harvey Prince and I've been wanting to try any of the Davines products.
What are you picking this month? Or will you not pick and keep it a surprise?
I'm debating between the Microwater and Eye Gel and the Tig Box.
Hmmm..decision decisions!

BIRCHBOX June 2015 early reveal ::Sample Choice & Featured Box:: ♥


Birchbox released their June 2015 sneak peek video today!
It feels super early.
Check it out and see what our Sample Choices are this month.


First off, ALL subscribers will receive this:
Eyeko Fat Liquid Eyeliner
I'm not totally positive but this looks like the full size!
I'm currently using the Eyeko Skinny Eyeliner and loving it.
I'm so psyched to be getting another one, with a fatter tip.
I'm betting this one will be easier to apply.




For June, there will be 4 different choices to pick from.
(You can also choose NOT to pick one and be surprised)
OR
You can choose The Guest Editor Box of the month.

The 4 Sample Choices this month are:
COOLA Mango Body Sunscreen SPF 50
Supergoop! Everyday SPF 50
Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels
Dr. Jart+ Dermaclear Microwater

I'm not too excited about the sunscreens but I'm totally eyeing the Eye Gels and Microwater.
I could always use some help with undereye puffiness...and I enjoy testing out different make-up removers.


The Guest Editor Box this month was curated by The Tig
(A Blog/Website founded by Actress Meghan Markle.)
Check it out!
Great info on everything from Food to Fashion to Beauty to Travel.

This month's Guest Editor Box "The Tig Box" will include:
Eyeko Fat Liquid Liner
Real Chemistry 3-Minute Peel
Harvey Prince Hello Body Creme
Oribe Cote d'Azur Fragrance
Davines Su Hair and Body Wash

Honestly, I'm a bit underwhelmed by the curated box this month.
The Real Chemistry peel has already been in box combinations for a while, not to mention that it was a sample choice last month.  I find it odd that they would include such a repeat item.
I'm also surprised they included the Eyeko Fat Eyeliner in the Guest Box as well.
At this point, I'm not too sure what I will choose.
I'm leaning toward the Skyn Iceland Eye Gels and the Microwater.
What do you think about the choices this month?
Sample choice emails will go out on May 27th.
But don't forget early access!

ipsy May 2015 Glam Room reveal ♥


I randomly logged into my ipsy account and I was given the choice to get early access to my glam room.  Uh, of course!!
This month's theme is 'Jetsetter'.
Oooo~


This month's bag is very simple. 
It almost looks like a canvas material but it's hard to tell.


A nice variety of products.
And I'm so glad I got the Urban Decay Lip Pencil!




Here is what I'm getting this month:
Alterna Haircare Caviar CC Cream
Urban Decay Revolution High-Color Lipgloss and 24/7 Glid on Lip Pencil 
BellaPierre Cosmetics Waterproof Mineral Gel Eyeliner Pencil
Peter Lamas Detoxifying Citrus C Facial Cleanser
Pixi by Petra Beauty Bronzer

Again, I'm stoked about the UD Lip pencil.
I'm also pretty happy with the Eyeliner pencil since I'm running low on my black.
(Assuming that I'm getting a black one)
I'm also excited to try the bronzer.  I've never tried it before and after watching so many beauty tutorials, I'm ready to give it a try!

BIRCHBOX May 2015 ::Sample Choice & Featured Box:: ♥



Yay! The best time of the month...(early access) Sample Choice is here!
The 'regular' box will include samples chosen by this month's collaboration, Cupcakes and Cashmere.
Once again, the box is beautifully designed. (A cupcake design would've been cute!)
A featured box is also listed as an option--The 'Beauty Solutions' box.


The sample choices this month are:
Harvey Prince Sea Salt Texturizing Mist
Macadamia Professional Nourishing Moisture Oil Treatment
Naobay Oxygenating Moisturizing Cream
Real Chemistry Luminous 3-Minute Peel

Only one item got me really excited--the Macadamia Professional hair oil.
I can always use more oil for my hair.

The 'featured box' this month is another edition of the 'Beauty Solutions' series.
This box will include:
Number 4 Blow Dry Lotion
W3LL PEOPLE The Expressionist Mascara in Black
CoTZ Flawless Complexion SPF 50
Marcelle Hydra-C 24H Energizing Hydrating Gel
Juara Candlenut Body Creme

I'm a huge fan of W3LL PEOPLE and when I saw that mascara, I knew I had to get it♥
Everything else is new to me and I'd love to try out.

So what will you pick this month? 
One of the samples? The Featured Box? or will you just leave it as a surprise?
I reserved the Macadamia Professional on one account and the Featured Box on my other account.
From seeing the sneak peeks of some of the samples chosen by Cupcakes and Cashmere, I'm really excited to see what else I'll get!
