August Birchbox

I got an email the other day that my September Birchbox is on it's way to me. So, I figured it was probably about time to review my August Birchbox.

The August box had some good things in it but wasn't overly exciting.

There was 'Viva la Juicy La Fleur' by Juicy Couture. Um, not so good. I can't really describe the smell but it wasn't something I would want to be wearing. It's already gone in the trash.

Then there was this skin cream by Yu-Be. It's the best selling Japanese cream that can hydrate chapped lips, rough heels and cracked hands. I used it on my horrible summer heels. I put it on at night and then wore socks to bed. It made a difference but this little sample wasn't enough to combat walking around the city in flip flops all summer. I liked the way it smelled and felt. I wouldn't got out of my way to get it, but if I found it in a store, I would certainly pick some up.

I found the next item to be a bit odd. Two little packets of Caldrea hand soap. They were odd but I did like this soap. This particular scent was a little strong for my taste but it left my hands clean and soft. This would make a great housewarming gift.

I got really excited about the Stila waterproof eye-liner that I got. It was perfect timing because I was almost out of my other one. This one is black and I usually wear brown but that's not the end of the world. I like the way that this goes on and that it stays on. Here's the catch. It's a shimmery eye-liner. It's not too extreme but it's enough that I won't wear it on a daily basis. It's perfect for a night out or the weekend, but not exactly right for work.

And, hey, who doesn't need a brand new razor? For whatever reason, I have a hard time spending too much money on a razor so I usually just have the disposible ones around. Those are fine and good for vacation, but probably not the best for day to day. I like this one. It's smooth and shaves close. I'll probably keep it around and invest in some refills.

There you have it. That was August. September review to come pretty soon!
