July Birchbox

This post contains affiliate links.

Once again I am posting about my Birchbox in the same month I got it!! WOOHOO!!

JulyBirchbox

I opted for the featured box this month, Rise and Shine, because it had a few items I had been dying to try. Can I just say here how fun and bright this box is? I love the bright colors, it’s so summery!! So now lets check out what I got!

JulyBirchboxGoodies

Living proof.® No Frizz Shampoo / Living proof.® No Frizz Conditioner / Elizabeth Mott It’s So Big Volumizing Mascara / Milk Makeup Sunshine Oil / dr. brandt® PoreDermabrasion / Living proof.® No Frizz Nourishing Styling Cream / Klorane Smoothing and Relaxing Patches with Soothing Cornflower

I have been wanting to try these Living Proof products since I got the Texturizing Spray with my very first Birchbox! I loved both the No Frizz shampoo and conditioner, I only wish there was more in the sample! I also loved the No Frizz Nourishing Styling Cream, it is really wonderful and didn’t make my hair heavy at all. I always worry about that with leaf in products.

I also loved Elizabeth Mott’s It’s So Big Volumizing Mascara. The brush is my favorite kind and the formula really gives my lashes a ton of volume. Love it!!

I haven’t tried the Milk Makeup Sunshine Oil yet but U have heard really good things about it. Apparently it’s an oil you can use all over your body to moisturize just about anything! I think I will definitely start using this on my feet and elbow soon, they get soooo dry!

I am always down for a good exfoliator and this dr. brandt® PoreDermabrasion is a great one!! It really gets the job done and actually does make my pores look smaller!

Last, but not least, I got these Klorane Smoothing and Relaxing Patches with Soothing Cornflower for my eyes! I have been seriously loving eye pads lately and these are fantastic. They are really soothing and don’t make my eyes feel too greasy like some do.

I said in my last Birchbox post that I was thinking about canceling my subscription and that’s exactly what I did after receiving this box. Nothing against Birchbox, I am just on sample overload! Plus they redid their point system and I am not a fan of the new system.

So naturally I did what any good Birchbox subscriber would do and I blew all my points on one big purchase. I “bought” the CHI Air 1″ Tourmaline Ceramic Curling Iron!! I have wanted a CHI curling iron for forever and I am so glad I was able to use my points to get it. Now I can’t wait to use it and share that with you guys!!!

    Birchbox has to be my favorite subscription beauty box. Unlike a lot of boxes, their stuff is always super high quality.

    Birch box is really awesome! I’m loving that fun box too, it’s so pretty! CHI has the best products for sure, the straightener is just as good as the curler!

    Looks like you’ve got a lot of good stuff from that box. I would like to try the exfoliator. I haven’t exfoliated in a while and I know I must.

    This looks like a great Birchbox indeed. I could use a couple of these items like the volumizing mascara. The ceramic curling iron was a great choose to spend the Birchbox points on for sure. Thanks for sharing the July Birchbox.
