Birchbox Unboxing | July 2015
I cancelled my Birchbox subscription. Three bad boxes in a row was way too many. So here you have it, the last Birchbox!
As usual, the box is gorgeous. I love the hot pink geometric print. It's so pretty and I am looking forward to seeing it on my vanity. Unfortunately...the products...not so great.
Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Skin Exfoliant

Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Skin Exfoliant
Breakthrough at-home treatment for a glowing complexion—no pricey derm appointment required.
Full size: $78
Sample size: $9.75
I feel very conflicted about Dr. Brandt. Some people love his products and rave and rave about them. Unfortuantely, they don't seem to do much for me. I'll be passing this one on.
Miracle Skin Transformer Body SPF 20
This body lotion works to hide imperfections and gives skin a flatter (and temporary) glow.
Full size: $34
Sample size: $3.32
This is similar to the Jergen's BB Body only less good. This just didn't do it for me. It's orangey and has a funny smell. You don't get sunburned, but I have other sunscreens that do a better job and aren't this pricey.

Oribe Dry Texture Spray
This cult favorite multitasker soaks up oil and gives hair body and bounce.
Full size: $22
Sample size: $4.94
This is my favorite thing out of the five. It gives you a ton of texture and soaks up oil quickly from my roots. I love this spray. It's a little on the pricey side, but I'd happily repurchase it.

Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in
Beso
This creamy formula glides on like a gloss yet lasts (and lasts and lasts) like a stain.
Full size: $20 (for three minis)
Sample size: $6.67
Another kind of hit-and-miss, this leaves weird flakies on my teeth for like the first hour after I put this on. After that, it's great. It stays on through eating and drinking for hours and hours and hours and the color is beautiful. I got so many compliments on this when wore it recently.

Supergoop Anti-Aging City Sunscreen Serum SPF 30
This antiaging serum blocks UV rays while hydrating skin and preventing future sun damage.
Full size: $42
Sample size: $8.40
This is a very standard sunscreen. It's white, smells like sunscreen, and doesn't really have any other benefits. I'm disappointed that this is so expensive, because I feel like it doesn't deserve the price tag.
