JUNE BIRCHBOX: AWAY WE GO

 

Overall I'm not impressed with Birchbox and I have already cancelled my subscription. I don't need more samples in my life and I only subscribed for a month to get the Ibotta rebate. 

I can't complain though, since I got two free boxes and a free They're Real Mini which would otherwise have cost me $30.

When I opened my boxes I instantly knew which items I was going to toss:

JUNE BOX

Davines Products- Contain sulfates which damage my hair! :(

Joie Perfume- I normally don't even bother smelling perfume samples but for the sake of the blog I did. 

Scent Analysis: grandma covered in baby powder 

LAQA & Co Lip Pencil- Pretty color but it's sheer and I have pigmented lips so we're not compatible </3

JULY BOX

Klorane Dry Shampoo- I have no use for it.

 I have enough samples from Sephora that are from brands that I know and best of all THEY'RE FREE! Plus, unlike Birchbox Sephora lets you choose samples that you actually want whether you're shopping online or in-store. 

However, if you're into discovering new brands and you don't mind getting mostly personal care samples rather than makeup it could be nice to get a surprise every month but it's just not something I can get into.

I'll do a mini update once I try everything else out...
