Birchbox July 2014 Review

Whoops! I never posted this!! I've been so busy with nursing school! :D It's sooo time consuming!! My house is still a complete mess and FILLED with unpacked boxes from moving in almost a MONTH ago :( 

Anyway, if anyone cares to see what was in past Birchboxes this one is from July 2014! 

A FREE subscription to Women's Health! Cooool :) 

Update: I sent in the card right after I got the box and received my first issue this month (September)

Number 4™ Super Comb Prep & Protect

It's a nice product and I would've loved it when I was younger and used more heat tools on my hair (and had fuller/thicker hair), but it kinda just seems to weigh it down. I don't color my hair or use heat tools on it ever. I have split ends and its thinning. This product is prob not for me :( It's a nice product and I would've loved it when I was younger and used more heat tools on my hair (and had fuller/thicker hair), but it kinda just seems to weigh it down.

Supergoop!® Daily Correct CC Cream ​SPF 35+

I have been wanting to try this CC Cream so was excited to get it in my box. It worked well to cover up flaws without being too foundation-like. However, it was still pretty thick and I ended up mixing it with my tinted moisturizer to thin it out. I have smile lines so thick makeup settles in there and makes them more noticeable; so I tend to avoid heavy face makeup.

Cynthia Rowley Beauty Eyeliner

Blehh to silver eyeliner!! Looks disgusting on me, and I get flashbacks of bad makeup days in middle school...

The consistency was great though... I wish it had come in black!!! :( I would've used it everyday!

SmartyPants All-in-One Gummy Vitamins for Adults

I like this taste, but don't like receiving food or vitamins in my box. The sample size is puny too, not even a serving size worth. All bad things aside, the taste is good and it makes taking vitamins more of a treat than a chore. Sounds cheesy lol

Harvey Prince Hello Body Cream

It's a nice smelling lotion that works fairly well to moisturize the skin. It's not super greasy and seems to absorb pretty quickly. My skin is a bit dry though.

No totals for this BirchBox because it's so late and I have limited time, lol! I'll update it if I total it up later. I'm a nerd and actually enjoy doing things like that soooo... it might happen :P

Dollar Shave Club Review!

Yay! I finally signed up for Dollar Shave Club! I know it's marketed to men, but I don't care, lol. I usually buy men's razors anyway, so it's perfect. 

The Dollar Shave Club packaging looks great and they even included at little bonus item (shave butter)! I picked the $6/month plan which is the middle option. 

After shaving my legs, the razor seems to get dull fairly fast compared to other razors I get at the grocery, but the price is so low, I think I'm still getting a better deal with this subscription than buying the razors at the store for twice as much. I'll have to figure out the math later, lol. 

So far, I'm really happy with Dollar Shave Club! You can even set your account so that you get shipments every other month (if you don't shave very often).

-xo, T
