Beauty Army!

Why hello there Adventurers! Today's post is another one of my beauty boxes, today's is Beauty Army. This box will run you about $12 to pick 6 beauty samples to be sent to you every month. This month I picked out:

Macadamia Healing oil treatment- So excited about this because of all the hype these products have gotten in the past, and well my naturally curly hair needs some healing.
Kellett Moisturizing gel- I basically picked this because I only wanted to try 3 things in my box and who can have enough moisturizers? hah.
Apothederm stretch mark cream- I don't have too many stretch marks but I do have some on my legs and well, they ain't cute so I want to try this is try to get rid of them. The only problem is, this bottle is pretty much empty. There's not much product in this at all. I don't know if I just got a bad one or what.
LA Fresh Oil free face cleanser- As much as I like my Benefit skincare a new cleanser every now and then can be good so I decided to try this one out.
Fiafini Skincare Divine hydration moisturizer- As good as the name sounds I had to pick it out. And I like trying new moisturizers. I'm currently shopping my stash of mini moisturizers right now to get rid of the little sample sizes that I have and it's been treating me well so far.
Atzen Protective day cream- Also says it's the perfect base for makeup, well I'ma be trying that one out tomorrow.

Those are the six things that I chose to receive this month. For my three months using beauty army I am very happy with it. The choice of samples that I like is lacking for example last month I didn't really like my box because I didn't have too many samples that I liked. But when that happens just skip the month. I get too excited about receiving things in the mail and go overboard and then I'm disappointed. BUT this month I truly love my box and am excited for 5 out of the 6 things!

Birchbox, Glamour style!

Hey adventurers! It seems that all of my monthly subscription services arrived at around the same time, I hope you don't mind all of the alike posts! This time it's Birchbox! If you don't know it's 10 dollars a month to get surprise samples to your door every month! This month they had a collaboration with Glamour Magazine.

In this month's box I received: 

Color Club's nailpolish in the color Blue-Ming(get it? blue-ming/blooming HA!) Full size $8

Gloss Moderne- High-Gloss Masque Full size $39

Harvey Prince- Eau Flirt (who woulda thunk it? Another perfume sample....) Full size- $55-$98

Manna Kadar Sheer Glo Shimmer Lotion Full size- $29

Suki Balancing Kit( the five packets that you see in the picture above) Full size- $40

The two extra's which were included in this kit is the Larabar Roasted Nut Roll and a pair of headphones.

Overview: I am not exactly sure how I feel about this box to be honest. I'm excited about the hair mask cause I have a lot of those to try, I'm just too lazy to wash my hair out 20 minutes later(to be honest again) and the nail polish is a really pretty color. But I'm just not that excited about this box.

Bottom Line: I don't feel like I got my 10 dollars this month. I mean if you look at the box, you'd see 10 dollars worth, but I feel like I could of spent my 10 dollars some other way, better.

and now pictures of how it comes wrapped!

July Birchbox!

Hey guys, another monthly subscription has arrived at my door! I am debating on closing this one out though. Because I'm not really using the items I have received from it. So I'm not entirely sure about this one. :/ But if you don't know, Birchbox is a monthly subscription service that costs 10 dollars and sends samples to your door every month.

For the month of July I received:

Modcloth- a hair accessory including instructions to put it on, it's one with the wire in it.
Coola Mineral face spf 30- This is a sunscreen which is pretty cool I guess, but for the 10 dollars I could of just gotten sunscreen from the store. But I appreciate the summer twist on the item.
TheBalm Staniac- a lip and cheek stain which I haven't heard of before so I will be trying this one out, probably as a lip stain, not a cheek stain because I'm not to skilled at blending before these types of products dry.
BeautyBlender Cleanser- Useless to me because I don't use a beauty blender, I wonder if it could be used as a brush cleaner?
A Cologne sample from Birchbox Man- I wonder how all the single girls feel about this being in their box?
A Self tanning cloth(2)- I don't think I'll get much use out of this because I feel like these cloths are very gimmicky and I don't fake tan. :(

So July's Birchbox: Pass.

The only item in the box that I was excited about was the Staniac and that's just because I have been wanting to try theBalm products but I have no idea where to purchase them at a store.


Should I continue birch box or should I cancel?
