This is the August box!

I included ALL pictures. That means the pictures of the Beauty School Pamphlet too! I PRETTY sure other people are not going to post all of them. Maybe some have, I don't know but I've taken pictures of them just to be sure any one who reads my blog can see the tips too! Click on them to see them more clearly. I made the picture size bigger just so you can read them clearly!

Items in my BirchBox.

When I first open up the tissue paper. 

I'm surprised it's this stuffed because the paper listed only 4 items but I guess the razor mainly takes up the space haha.

Everything!

Inside the little bundle.

I've been wanting to try this spray. I own the Viva La Juicy and it's one of my most most most favorites. So naturally, I was excited for this one. Honestly, it smells the same to me hahaha. Maybe a little bit sweeter.

Miss Jessie's Quick Curls. I used it once already. It didn't....do anything haha.

I have wavy hair and was hoping this would define them even further but it honestly doesn't do anything to my hair. I used it when my hair was damp but not dripping.

I was surprised when I saw this. I wasn't sure how they were going to let us sample these but I guess taping them to a piece of paper works hahah.

The instructions. I have yet to use them.

Although I wish they were smaller and they gave us more.

It seems to have way too much product inside to fix a little mistake or smudged makeup.

The item that everyone got in their box. I was actually excited for this.

I usually use either disposable razors or the ones that you throw out after a month or so.

This is a razor where you change the head. I've used it twice already and I fell in love with it.

They included two coupons for the replacement head and shaving cream.

The heads are a bit pricey for my taste though. But they're not THAT bad at Target which I believe is like 15-18 for 4 heads or something.

When you shave you get this sticky serum coming off the razor which I believe is the hydrating part. I've never seen a razor with the strip useful though so I was pleased with it.

I think I will be buying replacement heads for this. I really like this.

I was happy when I got this because I've seen Pixi makeup but I have never bought them because I don't know if their stuff is good.

I got the Lid Last Shadow Pen in Graphite Glint.

It looks a bit black here but it's this dark grey shimmery color.

Swatch.

I like it but it rubs off way too easily. 

I also haven't looked up how to twist it or whatever. I don't know if there's more product after the tip. I'm pretty sure there is because why would you waste so much plastic if you don't have more inside? So I need to do some research how to get the rest out ahha.

Pencils of Promise! This month is aimed towards building a new school in Central America!

The sleeve for the box!

It's kind of cute actually. Reminds me of the ocean.

The card this month. Looks the same as the sleeve.

My products this month.

When you first open it!

Stila Lip Glaze in Lights. Not sure what the CL stands for since my other lip glazes has #s after the name..

It's a gorgeous shimmery neutral brown pink.

Minteas. Never heard of them but from the strong smell of the tin, I have a feeling they will taste like the Trader Joe's Green tea mint candies.

The flavor is Ginger Pear which makes me curious to see if it will taste terrible or not.

For the hear section of the theme, we all received ear buds.

I don't know if I will be using them because I already have Sony earbuds.

These kind of ear buds usually fall out of my ears. Judging from the card and the earbuds, they are brand-less. I have a feelimg Birchbox just bought a mass-amount from a China manufacturer.

The colors are cute though.

I thought I was lucky to not get this in my Jet Setter box but unfortunately, I received them this month.

The fragrance is strong and smells interesting. I might test it out.

It was in an envelope and inside, is this little card with the perfume sample.

Inside the green tissue paper wrapped bundle.

It's supposed to be for your hair. Not sure if this would cover my hair though because I have really long hair :T

I was disappointed to see this. First of all, I have dry skin and second, I feel meh about Boscia.

I bought their expensive pore strips and they never did anything -_- I really hope to try their other products but I don't think I will be using this. I wish Birchbox made sure of our skin before sending these kind of products.

In all, I feel really meh about this box.

I feel like the themed boxes are letting me down because the only box I really liked was last month's box.

Everything I received this month, I either have in some form or don't need.

My second Birchbox. Since there is no collaboration this month, no special sleeve~

June's month was Jet Set.

Items in my box!

When I first opened it.

I used to have band-aids so I'm sure these will be satisfactory band-aids but I wouldn't purchase "designer" band-aids.

Fortunately, I just ran out of band-aids so these will be useful.

I really like the lace and sequin one in the front of the box!

A bonus item to lure us into getting BirchBox Man x)

I haven't tried it out yet because I don't have a "birchbox man" but many ladies have said it smells really nice haha

Semi-thick yellowish cream. It feels nice but there's nothing miraculous about it.

My favorite favorite favorite.

Smells like fresh roses. Refreshing. I love it. It's organic too.

Lip and cheek stain.

That one is much better but this is okay too.

It's buildable. It gives you a light flush and then you can build it to a rosy flush.

There's not much in there. Most of the space is taken up by the brush.

I only used it a few times and I've used up half of it already...

My color is in "beauty queen"

A light flush. I used around 3-4 dots.

Great pen eyeliner. Much better than the MyGlam one.

Very pigmented and stays for a really long time.
