This is weird! Why did my birchbox come in a BIGGER box this month?
I totally forgot that I entered in a benefit x Birchbox giveaway.
Apparently I won! So the extra packaging led to a bigger box.
benefit They're Real! Push-up Liner - *beyond brown*
I totally forgot that I entered to win a benefit product.
This was a nice surprise!
It's a new gel eyeliner that you click by turning the bottom of the applicator, kind of like a chapstick.
You can get very precise, thin lines from this.
Also, it's made in Japan!
(swatch at the end of this post)
My Sample Value $6.00
This month's theme is 'Adventure'.
They have 3 different box designs out this month and I got the pink/orange box and it's so pretty!
The info card.
O, also this month Birchbox is giving out mystery codes in every box.
The grand prize is a $1000 to spend at the Birchbox store.
But I think most of them are coupon codes.
This one was a coupon code for 10% off...boo...
A first look.
Skyn Iceland Firming Eye Gels - 1 pair
This was my sample choice this month.
Oooo I will be trying this out tomorrow night. I need to de-puff my eyes so bad.
My Sample Value $3.75
beauty protector protec & detangle
This is Birchbox's most popular beauty item.
It's a detangler that also protects your hair from heat, smooths hair, adds shine, conditions, etc.
It really is an all purpose product and it smells divine!
My Sample Value $2.74
Marcelle BB Cream - *golden glow*
I also received this in 'the Tig box'.
The shade is a tad bit dark for me but I think that's the point.
It's supposed to add a glow to your skin...like a bronzer I suppose.
My Sample Value $3.68
COOLA SPF 39 Cucumber moisturizer
This is a sunscreen that people seem to love.
I guess unlike a typical sunscreen, COOLA has different "flavors".
I got the cucumber. The mango was up for sample choice.
This summer has been crazy hot so I suspect I will be going through a lot of sunscreen.
I will use this after my Supergoop!
My Sample Value $4.52
Marcelle waterproof eyeliner - *electric blue*
So we were supposed to receive a full size eyeko eyeliner this month but they are held up in customs.
Birchbox reassured us that we will get it in a future box.
In its replacement, we got the Marcelle waterproof eyeliner.
My Sample Value $7.30
Emi Jay Hair Tie - *blue*
This is a fabric hair tie. Has a cute bow on it.
Using it now! it's cute ♥
My Sample Value $2.20
Swatches
The total value of this month's box (roughly) comes to $30.19
That is including the bonus benefit product that I won!
This was an awesome box! I will use every item.
The detangler was something I've been wanting to try out and I finally got it.
A very good month for me.
