My Box Overflows with Nice Things

Well, I got my Birchbox today. It's a little late, since I usually get it around the 10th of each month. But it was a good one once again. Of course, first I will taunt you with the entire box displayed.

So for starters, I got some hair care products. There was a trio made by Davines, which includes Love Smoothing Shampoo, Conditioner and OI All in One Milk. The directions say that you use the shampoo and conditioner, and then I guess the OI Milk is a leave in treament. I should get "remarkably sleek locks." Good luck with that one - my hair is curly and weird, and I usually look like Sideshow Bob when I wake up. But miracles happen.

Then I got an assortment of apparently unrelated products. First, there is a mascara by Benefit Cosmetics, called "They're Real!!". If I use this, I may be "accused of fakery." Wouldn't be the first time. Then, there is a sample atomizer of Catherine Malandrino Fragrance. This will go on vacation with me. Next, we have a one ounce tube of Perlier Shea Almond Body Cream. Sounds nice. I will save this to use after a pool session. Lastly, we have a tiny tube of Caudalie Polyphenol C15 Anti-Wrinkle Defense Serum. Even though Caudalie is a respected luxury brand, the Polyphenol business sounds carcinogenic and scientifically scary (and I am a licensed scientist).

Remember how I told you that there is always an extra in every box? This month, it comes from Jet Blue. You answer the little quiz and then enter the contest to win a round trip travel certificate. This is as good as done. I enter a lot of contests, and I usually win something.

The last goodie I got today didn't come from Birchbox. It came from Doc Box. He got me a Pocket Hose Ultra. Yippee!!! I have one, and when I use it, I have to unscrew it from the front yard and then move it to the back yard. Now I have two!!! No mo' unscrew!!!!.

So that's it for the June Birchbox. I will let you know how the products worked out. I think that I have gone out and purchased 3 of the items that I got trial sizes for. I pretty much always like the items. But for example, how many mascaras do I need? Now I have another one to try, and I can't imagine myself needing to buy one in the next 3 years. But, maybe one day I will run out and remember a Birchbox item. Thanks for looking with me!!!! Oh, and by the way, if you want to see what others have, check out Look What I Got!!
