You can see the mistake already if you read my list of items I should have inside my box.

Color Club nail polish

Color: Blue-Ming

Full size: $8

This is very pretty almost mint color. However, it is super thin. It was hard to work with and I had streaks. I had to put on three coats and a clear coat for it to look good.

Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner (full size sample)

Color: Black

Full size: $15

This is very pigmented and super easy to use. I'm so glad I got this in my box this month.

Harvey Prince "Hello" Perfume

Full size: $26 - $55

I'm really hating these perfume samples. I don't feel like they are the slightest bit "deluxe" size. I think it is a cheap way around a sample. The perfume itself was pretty good. I smell a lot of grapefruit in it, which I really like. I'm glad it wasn't too strong.

Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint

Color: Pearl

Full size: $38

I thought this was very pretty. I'm super pale so it worked great on my skin. However, there is practically no coverage at all. It reminds me of sparkly lotion because you couldn't tell there was any color once I actually put it on my skin. It was very silky and luminizing.

Lara Bar Uber

Bananas Foster

Full size: ?

As you can see from my info card I wasn't supposed to have this. I was actually supposed to get the minteas. I would have loved to try the minteas because I love tea, but this bar was quite delicious! I did email Birchbox about the mistake and as of now I haven't heard anything back from them about it. That is a little frustrating.

  Birchbox Exclusive Earbuds

My absolute favorite part of my box, or at least I thought it would be...I actually hated these earbuds! I love the colors, bright pink and green, however I couldn't even get them to stay in my ears. I did everything I knew of to try and fit them in my ears right and they just wouldn't stay in. Literally they would be in my ear for like 30 seconds and fall out. It was a disaster.

Questions and comments are definitely welcome!

Birchbox June 2012

This month's theme is Jet Set and I'm very excited about what I got in my box!

Birchbox

Comodynes | Self-Tanning Intensive

Full Size: $14.99 (8 pack)

"Who needs the sun when you can get a safe, buildable, and natural-looking tan with these bestselling European towelettes?"

I'm extremely fair skinned and I don't know how good these are going to be, but I will give it a try anyway.

Stila | One Step Bronze (Full size)

Full Size: $36

"Fake island glow with this three-in-one bronzer, primer, and serum. It also keeps your skin's oil production in check"

My skin is extremely dry so I don't really have to worry about keeping my "oil production in check." I'm really excited to try this out. It is my very first Stila product.

theBalm Cosmetics | Stainiac in Beauty Queen

Full Size: $17

"We're crazy about this two-in-one lip and cheek stain; the sheer gel formula delivers a subtle, long-wearing flush." 

I'm extremely interested in this. I have never used any kind of stain, so this is very new for me.

Wonderstruck | Taylor Swift

Full Size: $59.50 (3.4oz)

"The pop-country songstress' scent is as catchy as her lyrics. We think it's worthy of a standing gig on our vanity."

I actually don't like Taylor Swift's music at all and I wouldn't think about buying her perfume so getting this as a sample couldn't have been better. It actually smells wonderful and I may even want a full size bottle.

Lifestyle Extra

LUNA Bar | Luna Minis

Full Size: $18.75 (15 bars)

"Whether we're running errands or hopping on a plane, we always have emergency snacks on hand. These just-sweet-enough treats are out go-to's."

I haven't tried this yet, but as soon as I do I will update and tell you about it. 

If you have any questions don't hesitate to leave them below or just drop a comment if you'd like to.
