The Glam Rx Mini Freestyle Palette is pretty great. I think the size is fantastic and the magnetic closure is pretty strong and I don't think it will fail me anytime soon. I like that I can add whatever I want to it and I do not have to have a palette that is pre-made. The GlamRx from the site comes with a top layer that has a concealer, lip product and black eye liner for $16.50.
The next two items are eyeshadows from Yaby. The darker one is in Azealea petal and the lighter on is in seashell. The color payoff is pretty beautiful. The azealea petal is a lot darker than in the photo and I have been using it as the deeper shade in my crease. The only gripe I have is that they are really tiny. The good thing is that you can purchase yaby eyeshadow refills for about $3.29 each which is amazing. choose the colors you want for your GlamRx Palette.
juice Beauty Hydrating mistis something I am really loving. Normally Juice Beauty products have a very medicinal smell to them in my opinion. This for a change does not. It is refreshing but reminds me of Summer or the beach since it has a similar smell to skin so soft. Be very careful with the spray since it is pretty strong. It should be a misting spray, but it is a spray for sure! Hold it a good distance from you face. Don't say I didn't warn you. Full size 6.75ml $22
La Fresh Travel Lite makeup Removing wipes. I did not open this yet since I have a large bag of another brand open at the moment, but as soon as they are done I plan on using these next. I have tried LaFresh in the past and have very much enjoyed their products. The nail polish removing pads are so so so good! One pad takes of almost all the polish for about all my nails. Two will do all my fingers and toes. That's impressive. I have high hopes for the wipes. These are a great deal at $1.49 for 8 wipes. Perfect for vacation one for every night with extras left.

$17 dollars in the BirchBox shop. This refillable fragrance atomizer has a screw on bottom in which you take a scent of your choosing and spray it into the container until it is full with your scent. Then you screw the cap pack on and wallah portable atomizer. It is a really sturdy design and is easy to rinse out and clean to refill with a different scent if desired since it has a large opening in the bottom.
the full size is $22 in the BirchBox shop. I love this color, it is a beautiful warm tone and make you appear sun kissed in just the right place. This peachy shimmer color is my new favorite product. FAVORITE PRODUCT IN THE BOX!
Full size is $22 in the BirchBox shop. This was an Allure beauty award winning product. It is made with pure botanicals which is a better way than some other dry shampoos. This is a powerful dry shampoo (the sprayer is really strong) and no flakiness or residue left over.
The full size 100ml is a whopping $100 in the BirchBox shop WOW! That is a pretty penny I have to say.
Overall a really awesome box and I hope to get more boxed like this in the future!

Here are my 1st thoughts and what came in my Glambag!
Let's take a look of each item below:
From Buxom, Big & Healthy lips.
A pretty pink neutral shade with a hint if "zing" when applied! I love when they have this minty feeling. I always pull towards products like these. It is not too sticky and is great for an every day look.
From Juice Beauty, Green Apple moisturizer with SPF 15
This has a very strong scent. It took me some time to find out what the scent was similar to, but I finally figured it out and it smells like Pledge wood cleaner. It is a thick white cream and is a little strange when applying it only because of the relation to wood cleaner in my head. It does the job and I like that it has SPF 15 in it. The good thing about Juice Beauty products id the antioxidants that they have in them which I like. I am not sure I will have this as my go to moisturizer though only due to the scent being a little bit of a turn off.
From YES to cucumbers, facial towelettes.
I have not opened these up just yet cause I currently have 3 different face wipes open. I have heard many good and bad things and cannot wait to form my own opinion of them.
From Andrea's Choice, Circus nail color in Somersault
I thought it was great that we have a product from
one of the Glam Girls. This polish is made very well. 2 coats and it is completely covered! This is a tester I did when I opened it. It even covers the polish I had on which was a pink color. I can't wait to do my whole manicure with this.
From NuMe, Hydro Punch Hydrating Conditioner.
This smells nice and I am going to use this very soon.
That is my My Glambag for July. By the way the bag this month was the cutest one yet!

February 2012 BirchBox SPOTLIGHT "This month's samples are to highlight you awesomeness - and maybe attract a little attention"
Eye Rock Designer Liner
Instant eyeliner tapes. One time use only. Peel and stick. I really was interested in the, but do not think I will use them. I was contemplating including it in my next giveaway or maybe just test it out for review purposes. Still deciding on that. It seem like the next gimmick jumping on the band wagon of stick on items along with the stick on nail polish and lip tattoos. I have seen photos and they do look interesting, but I think someone younger could pull this off and have fun with it. This may possibly be included in my next giveaway if there is a want for it!
*Full Price for 2 sets = $13.00
*Sample recieved 1 set = $6.50
Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution
A trio of natural actives—vitamin C, white birch, and peony extracts—works to reduce the look of dark spots, acne scars, and discoloration, leaving your complexion visibly brighter. Use after cleansing face by apllying a thin layer. As you know I am always on the lookout for something to rid me of my hyperpigmentation on my face. Excited to try this one! It has a very strong hospital like smell. I think that means it works good! LOL
*Full size 1 fl oz = $49.50
*Sample recieved 0.14 fl oz = approx $7.49
Colorescience Pro Pressed Mineral Foundation
The superfine mineral powder hides flaws and absorbs shine, leaving skin perfectly matte. This seems like the perfect idea. It is one of those "why didn't I think of that?" moments
*Full size 0.42 oz = $50.00 *Sample sent 0.052 oz = approx $4.50-$6.00
Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel
for Sensitive skin
An at home face peel for visible smooth results. Use 1-2 times a week for about 10 min and rinse. Expect to feel a tingling sensation from the Juice Beauty. And it's ORGANIC. I have never tried and at home facial peel, so this is going to be interesting. I am guessing I should try this when I know I will be off the next day.... just in case there are any bad reactions. You know what I mean? But this is for sensitive skin so I am not expecting anything bad to happen.
*Full size 2 oz = $39.00
*Sample given 0.17 fl oz = approx $4-$5.00
This month's Extra:
Chuao ChuaoPod Caddy
Made from Venezuelan cocoa and mixed in 2 varieties Spicy Maya (mix of cayenne pepper, pasilla chile, and cinnamon) and Firecraker (Infused with chipotle spices and mind-blowing bits of popping candy). I got the Spicy Maya flavor and unfortunately mine was completely melted. The day I received it it was so hot so I am sure that was the culprit! If it was just a couple of days earlier it would have probably made it as per it's original state. It was unusually cold down here in Miami. It was a whopping 48degrees!! I know that must be mild for others, but here in Miami it is FREEZING!
*Full Size 12 ChochoPods = $9.95
*Sample sent 1 mini ChochoPod = $0.83
Last but definitely not least, this AWESOME band Green River Ordinance. There are 6 free digital downloads!!! Every single song is AMAZING!! I cannot stop listening to their songs. I have heard them on the radio, but never knew how much I liked their music till I downloaded all these songs and listened and payed attention to the songs. Loving them right now! This was a great great pick from BirchBox! When I first heard of a digital DL, I thought oh brother a cheapy way to get out of giving something great, but as you can tell I was so wrong!
To sum it up the total came out to about $24-$25 in my rough estimation :)
