BIRCHBOX #2 Unboxing for June 2015 ♥

My second account is here and it's a great one!

I got the same 'Next Stop: adventure' box design.

I thought I would get a variation but nope...

The info card.

A first look.

For the first time I received a 7 item box♥

So cool!

Klorane mango butter shampoo & conditioner

Klorane is a great hair care brand.

I love their dry shampoo.

I'm currently using a different shampoo by Klorane.

I'm excited to try this mango version.

My Sample Value $2.11

Revealed 3 quad sample - *desert bloom*

I own the original revealed palette and use it almost everyday.

This is from the revealed 3 palette.

I love the shades but I found them to be weak on pigmentation.

You'll see in my swatch below.

My Sample Value $2.00

Dr. Jart+ dermaclear Micro Water

This was my sample choice.

It can be used as a make-up remover, toner, etc.

I tried this as a remover and it works great.

My Sample Value $2.67

Supergoop! Everyday SPF 50

I have a travel size of this and I'm glad to have more.

This sunscreen is really good--isn't sticky and doesn't leave a white mess.

My Sample Value $0.91

Marcelle Waterproof Eyeliner - *indigo*

A dupe but in a different color, yay!

My Sample Value $7.30

pura vida lace headband

This is super cute!

It's a bit tight for my head though so I had to adjust it.

Always nice to receive a non-beauty, lifestyle item.

My Sample Value $2.25

Swatches.

Overall, this is one of my favorite boxes.

I also get 70 points ($7) back for reviewing them.

The total of this month's box (roughly) comes to $17.24

DERMSTORE Grab Bag "Hair Rescuers" contents ♥

This is the 'Hair Rescuers' Grab bag.

I was much happier with this one versus the 'Resolution Kickstarters' bag.

A first look.

I'm liking what I see--I immediately recognize a few brands.

Rescue rapid repair hair mask

I LOVE hair masks!

I have so much thick hair that hair masks work wonderfully for me.

My Sample Value $45.00

(Full size value $45.00)

Fekkai full blown volume shampoo

Hmmm...I am the complete opposite.

I DON'T want volume because I already do.

But I love Fekkai...

My Sample Value $5.00

(Full size value $20.00 for 8oz)

Klorane Dry Shampoo witih Oat Milk

Thanks to Birchbox, I've tried Klorane dry shampoo and I LOVE it!!

I'm so happy to have another one!

The scent is just amazing guys!

My Sample Value $9.00

(Travel size value $9.00)

Klorane Shampoo with desert date

Squeeee!!! Another Klorane product and this time it's a full size shampoo!

Little irked I didn't receive the conditioner...anytime a shampoo is included in a box I think the conditioner should come as a set.

My Sample Value $15.00

(Full size value $15.00)

follimedica Thinning hair therapy

Meh...another item I won't be using.

I absolutely do not have any thinning hair.

Quite the opposite actually...Perhaps my grandmother will want to give this a try.

My Sample Value $30.00

(Full size value $30.00)

JF anti-aging haircare restore

This is a very tiny sample.

With the amount of hair I have, this will be a one time use.

Interesting--it says here that this replaces your shampoo & conditioner on the days I use it.

My Sample Value est.$2.00 (no idea...)

(Full size value $36.00)

Harry Josh pro tools Carbon Tail Comb

Really cool!  I'm happy they included a 'tool' among all the hair products.

This is my second Harry Josh product.

I received hair clips in my last Dermstore order the free samples that time.

This is a really nice comb.

My Sample Value $20.00

(Full size value $20.00)

Overall, I'm very happy with this grab bag!!

I like it much more that the Resolution Kickstarters bag.

Glad to have received a full size of Klorane Shampoo.

The total value of this grab bag (roughly) comes to $126.00

All in all, this was fun.

I'm not sure I will get another one next year...but if I do, I'm sticking to the hair care set.

BIRCHBOX #1 contents for January 2015 ♥

I almost forgot to post this one.

This is my Birchbox #1 for January ♥

A first look.

From what I see, I think I'm gonna like this box more than box #2.

Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk

I was dying to try this!  

It's a dry shampoo for brunettes--instead of white powder, it's tinted beige so as to not leave visible residue on your hair.  I tried this immediately and I'm in love ♥

I've tried a couple dry shampoos and this is my favorite scent as well.

I'm going to buy the full size when this runs out.

My Sample Value $6.09

(Full size value $19.50)

TOCCA Crema da Mano Hand Cream - scent *Cleopatra*

This was a sample choice which I wanted to pick but by the time I went to choose it was already out of stock.  I somehow received it anyway so it was a pleasant surprise.

(Same thing happened to my Birchbox #2)

Smells really good--Like cucumber melon.

Generous size too.

My Sample Value $5.00

(Full size value $10.00)

Harvey Prince Hello Liquid Loofah

I thought this was a normal shower gel but it says to apply directly to skin.

So I washed up in my shower with my normal body wash then I applied this on my body.

Again, it smells so good!  The scent stayed on my skin overnight.

I wish the sample size was larger.

My Sample Value $0.95

(Full size value $22.00)

Supergoop! Daily Correct CC Cream SPF 35+ - shade*Light to Medium*

Very small sample but a little goes a long way.

The shade seems a bit dark for my skin tone but once I blended it in it worked out.

It says 'self-adjusting shade'.

I like this ♥

My Sample Value $2.04

(Full size value $32.00)

Sumita Color Contrast Eyeliner - color *raina (navy blue)*

This is a duplicate product between my two Birchboxes BUT I received different colors. Yay!

This one is a dark navy blue.

Again, a color I don't own so I'm happy to try this out.

And this pencil is so creamy and soft and heavily pigmented.

Great eyeliner.

My Sample Value $5.50

(Full size value $11.00)

The total value for this month's box (roughly) comes to $19.58

I love this box! Every item is exciting and will be used.

I'm already having lots of fun trying out these samples.
