June 2014 Birchbox Review (Away We Go)

I was happier with my Birchbox this month than I was last month.  No shampoo or conditioner, yay!  This month's theme is "Away We Go".

Check out my opening and review video, or just keep on reading. Up to you!



The item I am most excited about is the LAQA & Co. Sheer Lip Lube Pencil.  I got the Bees Knees color.  A full-size of this is $18.  It is a high-gloss, semi-sheer lip color.  It smells quite minty!  Luckily it doesn't taste too minty.  I don't care much for mint.  It goes on very smoothly. The Bees Knees color doesn't show up very much.  That is fine with me, I like to have some neutral colors.


I got a Revealed 2 Eyeshadow Palette Set from Coastal Scents.   A full-size palette goes for $34.  I got the Sunset Sampler. The colors are all shades of neutrals and browns.  Works for me since that is what I typically wear!


I also got a sample of Hello perfume from Harvey Prince.  A full-size of this costs $55. Hello is a best-selling spritz that has citrus and floral notes.  I actually got a sample of this in my Beauty Box 5 last month.  I still have to use it, but from my test spritz, I like it!


I got some BrightenUp! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator from Vasanti Cosmetics. A full-size goes for $34.  Use this 3-5 times a week for microdermabrasion effects, which gives a glowing, smoother complexion.  I am interested to try this out and see what it does for me skin, since it could use a little help in these summer months.

The last product I got was Egyptian Magic All-Purpose Skin Cream.  A full-size is $26-38.  Apparently celebrities and health professionals swear by this salve, which can be used to moisturize, fight wrinkles, and treat burns and bruises. It says it contains pollen, which concerns me a bit since I am pretty sure I am allergic to pollen.  I'm not sure if it would affect me or not, but I will be checking in to that before I use it.  If you happen to know, please let me know!


Those are my goodies from the June Birchbox! What products did you get?  Which was your favorite?
