blush.com June 2013 Mystery Beauty Box

I have been subscribed to blush.com for 4 months now, and at $24.95 I still love it, I feel like I definitely get an awesome value every month! My June mystery box arrived today! I watched the June preview so I knew that the featured product alone as already worth more than the entire bag! Yay!

They always send 1 or 2 free samples (foil packets usually) with your order, this month I got a Dermalogica "multivitamin power firm" sample. Now, for your viewing pleasure, the contents of the box:

The featured product this month is: 
  • GLYTONE Spray Mist Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (6fl oz.) Full size! Retails for $39 (remember this box costs $24.95 if you subscribe or $34.95 for a one time box! Ahhhh, nice!)
From the site:
What it is:
A lightweight body sunscreen mist to prevent sun damage.

What it's used for:
Glytone Spray Mist Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (formerly Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Plus Spray Mist) coats your skin in a soft, water-resistant barrier of chemical and mineral UV filters to prevent the visible signs of aging due to sun exposure. Innovative antioxidant technology keeps your skin hydrated and supple with a non-greasy finish that won’t clog your pores. 

And everything else I got:
  • Stila Lip Glaze - Kaleidoscope (0.08fl oz.) Full size! Retails for $22
  • DHC Clarifying Pore Cover Base (0.42oz.) Full size! Retails for $19! 
From their site:
What it is:
A skin-protecting makeup primer. 

What it's used for:
DHC Clarifying Pore Cover Base is a powder-based primer that targets trouble areas, such as the oily T-zone. Designed to keep the complexion looking naturally matte for hours, it helps to keep makeup fresh by preventing smears and smudges.
  • Miracle Skin Transformer Body SPF 20 Tinted Body Treatment Enhancer - Glow, this is a deluxe sample so I have no idea what its value is but OMG I'm so excited to try this one out! I recently got a sample of the Miracle Skin Face SPF 20 from the Sephora Sun Safety Kit and I've been loving it!
  • Hydroxatone Revitalizing Microdermabrasion, the one I got is 0.5 oz and the full size is 1.7 oz, full size retails for $29. This is one of the products I would never buy on my own but I am certainly excited to try it! 
According to the site:
What it is:
A micro-exfoliating formula to help restore and regenerate skin. 

What it's used for:
Hydroxatone Revitalizing Microdermabrasion is an effective exfoliating treatment to help gently resurface your skin by polishing away dull, dead skin cells. Magnesium oxide buffs impurities and dead skin, bringing newer, youthful skin to the surface. Smoothing sesame oil reduces the appearance of fine lines as protective antioxidants combat premature aging. Skin-brightening extracts promote skin clarity and radiance.
  • Decleor Aroma Cleanse Youth Cleanser Duo, two sample sized bottles, Aroma Cleanse Essential Cleansing Milk & Aroma Cleanse Essential Tonifying Lotion. (0.33 oz each)
  • Supergoop CC Cream Daily Correct SPF 35 Self Adjusting Light to Medium (3ml) - Always excited to try anything labeled as BB or CC cream :)
I believe all the boxes this month have the featured product and the rest of the products can vary. As you can see I got 3 full sized products that total $80 ($39+$22+$19) and that's without going crazy calculating how much each sample product is worth! So there you have it! While the blush.com box is not all makeup I love the fact that they include skincare! And the value does not disappoint! I am keeping this subscription for sure!

What do you think? Do you subscribe to blush.com?

Thank you for stopping by,
Fiorella :)

Birchbox July 2012 Review - Lots of pictures!

Apparently today was "mail day" woo hoo!
My box shipped out on 07/07 (Saturday) and I received it today 07/12 (Thursday) in Kansas City, this is my third Birchbox and for $10 I am liking what I'm getting :) My box was 0.5536 (for those of you who track that sort of thing).
Glamour + Birchbox July 2012
Open it already!


Like?
I got Ada Cosmetics Bronzer, looks like a great size for a sample, I haven't tried bronzers before but have been tempted so now I have a reason :) Oh and because I know you are going to ask, I will tell you already, the polish I am wearing is "Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet Xtreme Wear" (will be doing a  review on that also)




I also got the High-Gloss Masque from Gloss Moderne and while this jar is a good size for a sample and it smells delicious (coconut like) I have MASSIVE curly air so It's probably going on my "gift" pile :)




See that?
I got a full size Stila Lip Glaze, the color is called "Camera", looks pretty and I have been dying to try this because I want to buy the 3 pack!!!


It is not a big deal for me but it does say "Made in China" for those of you who care...

I got Harvey Prince - Hello, and it smells nice, I don't know how to describe it but I like it. The sample size is bigger than the usual ones you get for free at department stores (but I don't shop for perfume often so I might be wrong) and I love that it has the little spray!!!

I got two Lifestyle extras:

Larabar - uber

A treat is a treat!
But not a protein bar...
And the other Lifestyle extra... OMG!!! I loooooooooooove this earbuds!!!!!!!!

I recently went back to working out and use this little gadget with some white/grey earbuds that came with my old cellphone I think...


Look at me now!!!!


Like I said, for $10 I am pretty happy with my box, what did you get? If you are new to Birchbox be nice and use my link: https://www.birchbox.com/?raf=knp4h DO IT! :) $10.00 a month, give yourself a little gift :)  

Have an awesome weekend,

Fiorella :)
