BirchBox June 2012 "Jet Set"

EXCITING update at end of post!!!
This month was everything to do with travel! That's fantastic since I will be traveling in a few days!

I really enjoyed my products although I saw other boxes that had some pretty amazing things in it!

The first item in the box is from CLEAN WELL - Individual Hand Sanitizing wipes. As I said before I will be leaving in a few to enjoy a nice vacation and this will go right in the backpack to carry with me to the different places and Theme Parks we plan on going to. Really great! It has natural thyme oil to help clean and soften hands!

Next up is from 

SCALISI SKINCARE - Anti-Aging Moisture Broad Spectrum SPF30. 

Okay I know this was soo put in my box since my age is getting up there and am at the special "preventable years" when it comes to skin care and wrinkles. For that reason I am ok with it since this product is going to "trigger collagen production and reverse wrinkles" Who doesn't want to get rid of wrinkle or prevent them. I DO I DO!! The smell reminds me of a combination of baby lotion and sunscreen. Well it does have SPF30. That is a must these days and now that summer is here and the days have been more than steamy! 

Next up is from 

APOTHEDERM - stretch mark cream. 

Hey how do they know I have stretch marks? Just kidding. I have looked this up and have heard fantastic reviews about this. I am going to try but on what stretch marks? LOL no I have a few here and there. The scent is very light and fresh. Quite calming and pleasant. 

My make-up item was from 

the BALM cosmetics - Staniac in Beauty Queen

I was a little intimidated by this lip and cheek stain cause it was so bright bloody red, but as you can see in the following photos the color is easily blended. You can even blend it out much more tha I did in the photo if you which. It really does give your cheeks a just pinched look to your cheeks. I LOVE this!! This product is so worth it! I absolutely want to get a full sized one. Speaking of full size it is $17 for one Full size Stainiac. 

We also got a BirchBox man Extra. 

JOHN VARVATOS cologne - in Star USA

Perfect since it is Fathers day this weekend and my hubby is always saying what did you get and now I can share something with him! This has in my opinion the typical "man" scent. I like it and it is similar to scents he tends to like and wear often. Aww Something for my sweetie! It's a "LIKE"

Last thing in the box is a lifestyle Extra. I thought this was so fun! these Band-Aids are super fun! such cute styles and guess what the boys in this house won't use them!! Just for me!! Ha Ha that is something they will leave alone. I opened one just to try out and see the design. Thanks Band-Aid I can have a Band-Aid that is a bit stylish just for me. 

Over all I enjoyed my BirchBox this month! It was quirky and fun!

Sircle Samples (BETA)

Pink Cafe

My quick nail of the day

This is from the Revlon Colorstay line. It is called PINK CAFE

In the sunlight

Indoor lighting

I did apply 4 coats to get this perfect color without patches in it. It is too bad for that. I wish that many coats were not needed, but using my Seche Vite fast dry top coat made everything all better! No need to wait for dry time. Done in a flash!

Thanks!!

May Cravebox "A TASTE OF THE TROPICS"

I am so excited! This is the main subscription service that I am the most excited for! Cravebox in my opinion is better than any other subscription service, cause there are not only beauty products, but home items, treats, hobbie items, health items and so much more! There are many full size products and high end items as well. You can not ask for anything better. This month was based on The Taste the Tropics. Included in the Cravebox are:

• 2 packages of the Sunsweet Plum Amazins - If you like raisins but not all the sugar this is a great alternative. It as less calories and a lot less sugars (13g vs 29g per 1/4C) 

• A sample of the Lipton Tea and Honey to go pack in the flavor ........ and a coupon too!

• 18 oz Tree Hut Coconut Lime Shea Body Scrub (approx $6-$15.72 depending on where you purchase)- The smell was so refreshing and calming. I wanted to stick my fingers in it immediately. I have never used a body scrub before and used it that night. Where have I been? I think I have definitely not been in the "Tropics" I think I was in the Desert all this time. When you use it the first thing was putting my fingers into the tub it was the coolest feeling! What a weird texture. When I applied it to my body I know that this is going to get rid of all my dead skin immediately. This is such a great product! I will never let this run out in my shower!

• 6 pack of GuyLian Artisanal Belgian Chocolate Sea Shells (approx $4.16)- When I opened the box I took a bite and was so happy, can you say YUM!. I am usually picky when it comes to sweets. I am not a sweet eater I prefer the salty things, but this was so tasty and my kids enjoyed it too. I shared with everyone. I love these little truffles! I am adding this one to my list of Likes in my sweet list and there are not many. I usually pass on chocolate. Nice touch. Available in Publix, Wal-Mart and many other locations.

• 2 oz Skintersection Intense Repair Cream (approx $17.95)- I am using it right now on my feet/heels and elbows. This is so moisturizing and well needed. It is a very thick cream and has nearly no scent at all which is great. Sometimes scents can be really strong and I appreciate a cream with minimal or no scent. I like to wear my perfume and not have a clashing lotion/cream to fight with my perfume.   

This was a great surprise for me this month. I enjoyed my last Box that I won in March (the February Box) and this is just as pleasant. No sour face here. Thank you for letting me in on the CRAVE of CRAVEBOX!
