August 2012 Birchbox

I finally received my August Birchbox the other day in the mail. I don't usually look at the forums to see what others have got because I like being surprised. So let's get into it shall we?

As you can tell, my lighting was pretty horrible, but I wanted to get this up as soon as I could. I didn't realize until I was editing that it was really yellow. I'll take better pictures next time promise! I'' list things off in the order it came on the card that was included in the box with  my opinion.

Beauty Fixation Pre-Tweeze Treatment ($5) - The description says that these pre-filled cotton swabs are used prior to tweezing or waxing to help irriation that usually occurs after those procedures. I have no use for this product, but I guess I'll try to use it when I tweeze my brows? What a waste though it's not like I full on tweeze my brows, I just clean up stray hairs haha.

Caldrea Hand Soap ($10.50) - I got two samples of the soap that is loading with aloe vera and olive oil. Personally, I'll probably use it on a whim as I wash my hands, but the sample was included in a cardboard tube that has a tear off. It looked like a weird sample of lotion to be honest haha.

Eye Rock Designer Liner (2 packs of 4 for $13) - These are eye-liner stickers that has been going around the web lately. The stickers are HUGE and long. I don't know if I will ever wear these out in the public because of the size of these things and the designs. I have small asian eyes so these stickers would most likely cover up most of my lid space.

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy La Fleur ($70) - Another perfume sample that I will never use. I like getting perfume samples though because it goes into my collection of tiny perfume viles. I wonder how many I can collect in a year haha.

Oscar Blandi Jasmine Shampoo ($22) - It suppose to help tame frizz and flyaways, but I haven't tried it yet. I can, however, tell you that it smells so good just like Jasmine. I love Flying Fox by LUSH and LUST by LUSH as well, so this is so awesome. I can't wait to try it though.

Venus Razor ($7) - This was a bonus item, and I'm really happy I got this because I needed a new razor haha. It also came with two coupons on the back for refills.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with this box. I haven't been disappointed by Birchbox so far and I love that I randomly get full size products here and there. Have you tried Birchbox? If so, what do you think of it?
