July 2014 BIrchbox

Hey!! This is my July Birchbox unboxing/reveal and if you do not know what Birchbox is let me fill you in.  It is a monthly beauty subscription that is only $10 per month Each box contains 4-6 samples of various beauty products that you can try each month and if you fall in love with any of the samples you can order them directly from the website if you like. 

  It is a great deal sign up through my personal link here: https://www.birchbox.com/invite/r9lws

 

This month's Birchbox theme was "Power Up" and they teamed up with Women's Health Magazine.  Let's see what I got!!

 

 

1. Beauty Protector: Protect and Treat Mask (Full-Size, $25.95)

"Developed by stylists, this argan oil treatment restores strength and megashine to hair"



 I am very picky when it comes to masks and deep conditioning treatments and the way they leave my hair feeling.  I have used so many that left my hair crunchy or like there was a film on my hair.  I am a little hesitant to see use this but will definitely give it a try and see how it works for  for me.

  

2. Benefit Cosmetics: Posiebalm (Full-Size, $18.00)

"This mango butter balm hydrates lips and provides a wash of sheer, just-right pink"

 



Packaging is adorable but the actual product inside is much less than I expected especially for a Benefit Cosmetics sample, their samples are usually large in my opinion.  Besides that the product is very, very sheer barely any color however is does feel very moisturizing and hydrating on the lips and gives an amazing sheen.  Slight fruity smell which is pleasant, not overbearing.

3. Naobay: Body Radiance Lotion (Full-Size, $24.00)

"This Spanish favorite uses olive oil and avocado to naturally hydrate and soften skin"

 

I love the consistency and feel of this lotion, it is fairly thin but not watery and definitely not greasy or sticky.  It soaks into the skin very well and very quickly.  The scent is citrus-y and fairly pleasant.  This is probably a product that I will end up carrying in my purse as a hand cream.


 

 

4. Real Chemistry: Luminous 3-Minute Peel (Full-Size, $48.00)

"This acid-free peel gently exfoliates for instantly softer, smoother, brighter skin"

I have not yet tried this and I must admit the word peel scares me but on the other hand I do love exfoliators and the way they make my skin feel and the way they help my makeup go on so smooth.  The words "acid-free" make me feel a little better but I guess this is just a product I will have man-up and try to see how I like it.

 

5. Ruffian: The Rapture Collection-Relic (Full-Size, $10.00) + Bonus Ruffian Perfumed Nail Lacquer Remover Towlette

"Streak-free metallic polish in a trendy, summer-perfect shade"

 

This polish is amazing!! It is a gorgeous metallic silver color and is a 1 coat finger nail polish that actually dries pretty quickly and because it is metallic is has a great shine that doesn't necessarily require a shiny top coat.  Of course I still use one but only because I feel like I always need one.










 

**Women's Health Bonus this month was a FREE one-year subscription to Women's Health Magazine** Really excited about that especially in these summer months when I really would like some great health tips and tricks.
