july birchbox!

i love opening my monthly birchboxes! i am loving what i got for july's box.

here is a closeup of everything i got.

Benefit it's potent! eye cream

I was really excited to get this eye cream. i love trying new eye creams and this sample was really cute. it claims to fade dark under eye circles and preserve the elasticity of the delicate under eye area while protecting skin from free radicals. 

Number 4 Lumiere dhiver Super Comb Prep & Protect

this is a leave-in conditioner for hair with instant detangling! my favorite kind of hair product! i love this mini size and will be bringing this on my next trip. i hate lugging around my big bottles or hair product so this is great. this product always says its color protecting, anti-aging and gives hair extra UV protection. can't wait to try it! 

ddf acne control treatment

i am pretty loyal to my la roche-posay effacer duo and origins super spot remover, but i am always game to try new acne treatments. i still do get the occasional spot and this product says it's fights current acne and helps control and prevent future acne. sound good to me!

theBalm cosmetics, InStain Long-Wearing Powder Staining Blush

The packaging is super cute. It's got a magnetic closure and the blush looks like a cute little magazine!I got the shade Swiss Dot (Peach) which is perfect for me. this new blush gives the long-wearing staining blush effect in a powder formula. I'm excited to try it because I am obsessed with blush at the moment. I only wish the sample wasn't so small… it's really teeny tiny.

Birchbox Bobby Pins

Somehow I like collecting bobby pins even though i rarely ever use them. These are really cute and will sit on my shelf now with my other bobby pins.
