Birchbox Unveiling

I thought I'd share my Birchbox experience with all you lovely ladies.  Birchbox is a monthly service that delivers high end beauty products samples to your door for $10 a month including shipping.  Samples are customized to your liking based on how you complete your profile. I'm a bit of a product whore, and I love samples.  So let's take a look, and see what the bounty delivered for June:
It comes a bright pink box for easy identification.  We wouldn't want to misplace this fun item among the other not-so-fun items, like bills!
Upon opening the box, the samples are wrapped with care in colorful tissue paper.  It's like a getting present!  Such fun!

From left to right and top row to bottom row, we have Deborah Lippman "Stripper To Go" Nail Laquer removers.   There are two of them and a box of ten retails for $12.00.  Next up is Twirl by Kate Spade.  There's not much description of the actual scent but it's described as "carefree and joyful", and 3.4 fl. oz retails for $80.00. 
Next is Sircuit Cosmeceuticals molecular mist; it works to keep skin hydrated and can be used before make-up, in-flight, or to set make-up.  I'm not sure how much extra moisture I need humid and sunny FL, but this might be nice to have when traveling.  Full size is 1 oz. and retails for $28.00.  Right next to the molecular mist is another moisturizer sample from Weleda called Wild Rose Smoothing Facial Lotion.  It's imbued with rosehip seed oil and other antioxidants.  Full size is 8.5oz and retails for $25.00. 
And finally, to my utter and sheer delight, we have FULL size blush from Laura Gellar called Baked Blush N' Brighten.  It retails for $29.50, and is supposed to be versatile enough to use on both warm and cool complexions. 
What a great value for the money!  I am anxious to see what next month's box brings.
