Birch Box July 2012

This months box is dedicated to our 5 senses.

This Months Birch Box had its ups and downs. The ups made up for the downs so I will purchase next months box. I had a couple things missing I called customer service they helped some what I will explain when I get to the products in question.

Amika oil Tratment

Full Size 3.38 oz

Full size Price $34

I actually got this twice I was missing an item and they sent me the wrong item. I did like this product a lot it really made my hair soft and pretty. I didn't like the size of the sample the packet was a pretty good size, but there wasn't much in it. This a weightless hair serum good for dry or color treated hair. Amika softens hair while smoothing out fly away's ****

Amika Nourishing Mask

Full Size 500 ml

Full Size Price $ 40

This product I can't give my opinion on because this is the one I never received, I think I would have liked it.

This product is a deep conditioning mask it helps remove shampoo and conditioner residue.It also helps repair split ends. It has Moroccan Oil Vitamin C and other natural ingredients.

eyeko London Skinny Liquid Eyeliner purple

Full Size0.07 oz.

Full Size Price $15

I was happy to finally get a full size product this more than payed for my box. But at 1st I saw it was purple it at first freaked me out I thought it would be lavender, because the purple it showed in the container looked light. I opened it and tried it out and it ended up being a beautiful dark lavender color. This isn't great for all day wear it kinda flakes after a couple hours. Its easy to apply I love the felt tip. It looks great with my green blue eyes. ****

Boscia BB Cream SPF 27

Full Size 1.75 oz

Full Size Price $38

This BB Cream was very nice.. its different than the one I normally use it's thicker and is great for more of a full coverage use where mine is a light coverage. I like the fact that the Boscia  has a good amount of SPF in it. I don't think I will buy it even though I do like it , for such a small container its a bit pricey for mu budget. I was honored to try it . The sample was a good size and I can get a few uses out of it. *****

Larabar Uber Bananas Foster

Full size bar 5 ct

Full Size Price $9

I don't care much for food in my box, but I knew before starting Birch Box that time to time I will get food. I didn't try this I gave it to my daughter and she liked it. I might buy more of later in date. I found them at a local store cheaper I think they where a dollar a bar. If you like sweet and salty this is the snack bar for you.

Harvey Prince's Hello

Full size 50 ml

Full Size Price $55

I was happy to finally get a perfume sample. I was hearing women say I am sick of Birch Box always sending me perfume. This box number 3 and I finally got a sample. I like this scent its a light mixture of citrus and floral notes, a very good summery scent . It has a fresh lemon scent mixed with Mandarin also a floral forsythia and pink plumeria which are found in Hawaiian  Leis. If it wasn't so expensive I would buy it in a heart beat*****

Ear Buds

Extra Item

Price $10

I never received this item. I called Birch Box and Customer Service said they ran out of the Ear Buds and suppose to add some Birch Box points to my account, but they haven't and I called them 3 weeks ago. My issue is they know how many customers they have, they should have order that many plus extras for new customers as well.  If I did love the rest of the box I would have canceled.  

No Fall Festival

I was looking at more beads and  jewelry making things, since I am really behind on making things to sell. My mom in formed me that the festival is canceled, my heart sank after all the money and time I had spent. What I plan to do is either go ahead and make more jewelry to sell at some other venue or just to my friends or if all fails I can always give it as gifts. It sucks  was relying on this to help out with Christmas.

I know that things you hope for don't always come out the way you plan, I things will workout how they where meant to in the end.
