birchbox june 2012

i think i blogged about my birchbox subscription a while back, but haven't been very good at keeping up with it.  it's usually that i'm too excited to try out everything in my box as soon as i open the lid and forget about taking pictures while everything still looks pretty and new.  though today i decided to slow it down and give myself something to post!  

anyway, here's the box:


this month's theme was "Jet Set" and each item in the box was supposed to be useful for travel.  i actually think my box represents the theme quite well, as each item would be practically fuss-free to use on the day of a long flight or other mode of travel.  

products included in my box:

comodynes - self-tanning intensive & uniform color wipes (2 wipes)
masqueology - (1) brightening mask
supergoop! - spf 30+ everyday uv lotion
theBalm® cosmetics - stainiac in beauty queen
modcloth - headband




out of all these products, i'm most excited to try the supergoop  and the mask.  i actually traded the headband with a fellow subscriber for another product (which i will try to remember to do a review on once i receive it).   the stainiac seems really cool as well, but i'm so partial to my tarte lipsurgence.  as for the self-tanning wipes... oh boy.  definitely will have to let you know what i think about them once i get the guts to give them a go.  

overall, a win for me!  i am the lowest maintenance chick out there, so i'm never bummed about my box.  there's just something about getting these little "gifts to self" each month!

hope you all had a wonderful monday, and best wishes through the rest of the week!
