June Birchbox

This month I received Birchbox #34 with some exciting goodies.

Egyptian Magic All-Purpose Skin Cream ($2.38) This skin cream promises to do a lot. A LOT. It’s claimed that it’s a face cream, an eye gel, a hair masque, a treatment for burns, and has even been know to heal psoriasis and eczema. Mmh! I am highly intrigued. It looks a little bit like petroleum jelly when you open the little tub and there is no detectable scent.

Vasanti Cosmetics BrightenUp! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator ($5.55): Since I started using my Clarisonic, I have stayed away from exfoliating cleansers.  I might try this on alternate days with my Clarisonic and see how my skin feels. I don’t want to over-exfoliate and irritate my facial skin.

Coastal Scents® Revealed 2 Palette Set (estimated $3.90): I got the sunset sampler – four natural/earthy-toned, two sparkly eye shadow samples. Definitely something I will use.

Harvey Prince Hello Fragrance ($1.10) I am not a huge fan of fragrances. They’re – IMHO – usually not worth the money and a good deodorant is all I really need. However, since switching to an unscented, natural deodorant a few weeks ago, I see the benefit of spritzing a little scent on my décolleté. This scent is really nice and subtle. I like!

LAQA & Co. Sheer Lip Lube Pencil – Bees Knees ($18): This is a full size item which I always love!  It’s shea butter and mint-infused and really softens the lips! At first, I wasn’t a big fan of the coral color, but applied it’s much more subtle!

The whole Birchbox came to $30.93 this time. A good value for the money spent! I am especially excited about the Egyptian Magic Skin Cream, the eye shadow and the Lip Pencil!
