List of items I received.

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!

This month I actually got three polishes and a lip gloss.

Audrey
Very pretty pale pink shimmer polish. However, Sally Hansen has a nail polish that is exactly like this called 260 Pulled Sugar (and I do mean exactly).

America (free polish this month)
It's a very pretty glitter polish with cute little stars in it!

Camellia Lip Vernis
This is very pretty pink and works perfectly with the Audrey polish.

Now that is out of the way I want to complain. I got a free polish voucher this month, however, when I use it the polish isn't free. See each polish is $14 and the voucher has a value of $11.20...now why the hell would they say free polish on the voucher if there is a limited value. Uh, all their polishes are $14 so technically you aren't getting a free polish. So, I just don't understand why they didn't say "get so much percent off" instead of the word free on the voucher.
Anyways, I believe I'm going to be skipping Julep Maven* for a while because I recently got a new car and a new car payment that comes with it each month.
