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?

May Makeup Wishlist!

I put myself on a 'no makeup buying' streak until I use up completely one thing in my collection, which is going to be hard because almost everything is brand new. But I think that this is going to be good for me and my wallet. But that hasn't stopped me from lusting over things!

1. Maybelline Spring highlighters- I saw this first on Amarixe's haul video and I've been on the search for it ever since, but I can't find it anywhere. I have checked both Target's and the NEX and they don't have any new Maybelline stuff at all. But I'll check back in about two weeks, I hear Hawaii's a late state with stuff like that. The thing is though, it's not even on the Maybelline website so I don't know where I could find it. :/ (No picture because I simply cannot find a stock picture)

2. The Balm Cosmetics Mary-Lou Manizer- Everyone who's anyone has been raving about this product and I really want to try it. I've seen the swatches and it just looks like it would give the perfect amount of shimmer right on that cheek bone giving you that sun kissed look.

 

3.  Sleek blush in Flamingo- This color is bright pink and amazing, and I've always wanted to try Sleek products since they are mainly sold in the UK. I know that they are highly rated products and would love to have one or two in my collection! But this color stands out to me so much and I am a blush girl! (No picture of this one because all of the pictures are from other blogs and I will not be using other bloggers content)

That is all this month. It's been a crazy month from me, having a birthday, taking my acrylics off (I cannot believe I still did that), and telling myself no makeup. But April was a good month. :D See you next month for the Next addition!
