Birchbox June 2012










  Recieving this months birchbox was a very sad day in my birchbox history, worse than the laundry detergent in my eyes. Normally I try to give everything in my birchbox a chance before shutting it down completely, but there was no way I could open this box and even act remotely excited. So here's what I recieved:
-The Balm Cosmetics Staniac- I wasn't very excited about this since I already own Benetint but I gave it a try. To be honest, it was really bad. Gel like and you had to applky a lot to get even a little bit of color stain on your lips.
- Melvita Floral Water- This is supposed to be used for after sun exposure to keep your skin safe, and refreshed and healthy looking. So after about an hour of laying in the sun(with sunscreen) I came inside and decided to spray some on my face. My face instantly became itchy and hot, and I got red hives and patches on my face, do I really even need to say that I will never be touching this again?
-Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream- This to me is a sort of mixture between lotion and vaseline. It has a weird texture, and is to be used on cuticles, rough feet, and elbows and things. It probably was a nice addition, but the sample size was way too small for me be able to try it out long enough to see if it is actually worth buying.
- Band-Aids Cynthia Rowley Band-Aids- This was a cute idea, exciept I feel that they are a  bit childish. If I am going to wear abandaid I'm probably just going to buy regular bandaids. Especially because these cost twelve dollars and the designs are not very visible on the band-aids themselves.
-Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner- This is the one product I actually LOVE.When I run out of the one that I have now I will be buying it again. I have tried a lot of felt tip eyeliners and they never work over my eyeshadow if I have some on, butthis one has noproblem going over eyeshadow and it gives you the smallest line ever! You can of course build it to get bigger.
EXTRA- John Varvatos Star U.S.A- Even though it was Father's Day I was super upset that they added this. I understand they're just trying to advertise their Birchbox Man but if I wanted anything manly in my box I would but Birchbox man. I felt this was a really poor addition expecially after that Band-Aids.
  So what did you guys think of this months box?? What did you get in yours?

  5. That's a shame the box was largely underwhelming for you, but at least there was one product which you really liked.
