The theme of this month's Birchbox was Beauty School and the shipping box had a cute school design. I was excited by the theme because I love school supplies and back-to-school time.
The insert that came with the box this month was really unique. It was a much more detailed insert, and had tips on beauty products. I loved the look of it, but didn't find it very useful.
My box included:
A Schick Hydro razor - best item in my opinion, because it's a nice razor, and useful. However, it's not very exciting and not what I look forward to "sampling" in my beauty box.
Whish Shave Cream in pomegranate - this is nice but regular price is $20, and I will never pay that for shaving cream
Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream - a tiny tube. I probably won't try this because it looks a little strange in my opinion.
Stila foundation sample - I'm glad to be able to try the new Stila Stay All Day foundation, but this sample is just on a sample card. It doesn't provide enough product for me to try on my whole face, and actually sample the product for a whole day. I got a better size of sample foundation free in my last order from Urban Decay (a sample of their Naked foundation). So I'm disappointed that this tiny sample was included in a box that I paid for. If you see the Stila postcard in the box above, there are just three flat samples of foundation on the back of that card. The same kind of samples that you sometimes find in magazines. You can see it clearly below.
Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy La Fleur perfume sample - I love this and have been wearing it almost everyday. I will probably buy the full-size of this perfume. However, not to be a party pooper, but this is a TINY sample and I could get the same sample for free at Sephora. So this doesn't really fulfill my expectations for my beauty box.
Thanks for reading!!
