Discovering the latest beauty products
Announcing the winner to the $35 to Stella & Dot, courtesy of stylist Angelica Wyke! It’s…. Brielle Dunham (@Brielle_RaNae). Contact me to claim!
My love of Birchbox continues with my August shipment.
Did you read about this last month? It’s a box of deluxe beauty products delivered to your door each month for just $10 (includes shipping). Even me, a non-beauty junkie, adores this! It offers everything from previews of new products to those that might typically be out of my price range. The samples are such a great size that you get multiple uses out of each one… plenty to let you know if it’s something worth purchasing.
Here’s my August Birchbox:
Are you a Birchbox fan? As you know, I’m not a super pushy gal but this one I might just have to put on the peer pressure because I love it so.
A worthy purchase, according to The Average Girl’s Guide!

Wow! We got completely different stuff in our boxes. The only thing the same was the hair tie! I got great stuff, but I’m a little jealous of yours. Been wanting to try the Photo Finish Primer.
same here, I got blinc mascara, befine exfoliant, befine night cream, a great new kate spade perfume “twirl” and the hair tie.
I got the same box as Michele! However that smashbox photofinish is DIVINE!!!
Um, how have I never heard about this? Signing up today and giving my mom a membership for her birthday!
woohoo, both of you will love!!
I have not yet signed up for this service….I keep seeing either really great boxes for the month of August or really not so impressive ones! This was definitely one of the better ones I’d say
Wow we got completely different boxes. I want to try that Papaya mask!
Ok so I’ve been wanting reviews of Birchbox, and after reading your love of it, I think I’m definitely going to sign up. It looks like you’ve gotten some amazing products to try out!
what do you think of ouidad gel? all their products are pretty good. i find the gel to be a bit crunchy if you dont have some sort of leave in conditioner already on your hair.
no idea why I haven’t signed up yet (other than the fact that I procrastinate and have been insanely busy) but I’m going to ASAP!! You got GOOOOOD stuff, girlie!

Yours is totally different than mine this time! I loved mine, but wouldn’t mind trying that shaveworks stuff. I have super sensitive skin, so I am always looking for something to help with razor burn!
Love Ouidad!

I guess it’s time to jump on the Birchbox bandwagon, though I’m not really a product junkie…hmm.
But those are some great ‘picks’
Thanks for the review. I’ve been considering joining Birchbox and then now I just may have to do it!
I’ve been doing birch box since Jan, at first I loved it. I have to say I get total crap month after month. I even got a sample of toothpaste once-really? The only one that was good was August’s, and I think it was because it was standard for everyone across the board. I’ve finally decided to cancel because I’d be much better off using the $10 each month to buy a full size product down the road than a bunch of random samples that I could get for free anyway. Sorry for the negativity, but it gets old fast after a few months.
you got toothpaste?! how strange, haha. sorry you didn’t love… good thing you cancelled then to use your $10 better!
I saw this from a youtuber and thought about it, now after reading this I’m definitely in for sure! Thanks!! Can’t wait for mine to come
Nice review.This seems like a great box, I’m an avid Smashbox primer fan. the humid & heat gel looks interesting.
Yours is totally different than mine was this month. The only thing that is the same is the hair band!
Congrats to the winner!
I keep hearing about Birchbox and it sounds awesome. I’m just afraid I would have a million samples that I would never use
We got completely different boxes! A little jealous, I love me some photo finish. Been using it forever!
nice. xo
I lovelovelovelovelove this Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer. I buy it all the time and have to wear it constantly. It’s the only thing that doesn’t sweat off my face.

My box was totally different than yours. I got blinc mascara, befine exfoliant, befine night cream, kate spade perfume “twirl” and the hair tie. The Cool Fix looks good in your box!! I love the Birchbox so far
ooo fun! that looks like a fun combination!
Mine was completely different than yours this month too. And… it was the first month that I was incredibly disappointed.
And that hair tie, btw? WTF. I felt like it was a lame add. The thing came completely untied and apart before I was able to even put it “around my wrist” as the card suggested, save for actually wearing as a hair tie. And to be honest, I thought it was just an extra piece of ribbon that accidentally was placed in my box.
I dunno, this month felt… cheap. YOURS, however, looks luxe — as mine have the past few months.
*added since reading comments above*
I would have been happy to get a sample of toothpaste. That’s how lame my box was this month. Plus, isn’t there a reason we fill out a survey before subscribing — so they know our skin/hair/habits/etc. Why the hell did I get OIL to put in my hair? Um, no. Never going to use that ever. I have enough oil, thankyouverymuch.
