August Birchbox Spillage

Yes, it's that time again....the time when I run out to the mail hoping the little pink box is inside full of beauty testers and samples!

Today was the day.  Hooray! I opened the Birchbox, not knowing what was going to be inside.

The perfume smells delish, at first there is a fresh citrus scent, then a little while later, the smell begins to take on an Abercrombie, vintage  yet still citrus smell, hard to describe, but definitely I likey  - I will have to wait to see how long it stays on me though.

The mascara appears to be decent.  The Instant Peel and the Line Erasing Serum I look forward to trying (amen to any line eraser.  period); although, neither one are large enough to really see results from in my opinion.

The biggest bust was the Hair Treatment Oil that spilled all over and took away from my Sample.  Don't worry though, I have already e-mailed BirchBox Member Services, and hope they resolve this indiscretion promptly.  I signed it Esquire.  Just kidding, I didn't, but the lawyer in my always comes out in these kinds of situations, I just can't help it!

Give the gift of Beauty!

Who doesn't like getting presents in the mail? If you have a beauty-saavy girlfriend who you are looking to surprise with an original and useful birthday gift for, Birchbox gift memberships are a great way to send your fashionista friends a monthly treat! And it can be done with a simple click of a few buttons from the comfort of your own home! No over-crowded parking lots or lines!

HOW IT WORKS

The lucky recipient will receive an email with a gift code and your message. She will be prompted to create an account and enter her own shipping info. If you'd rather keep the gift a secret, enter your e-mail address in the recipient field and forward the code when you're ready.

After the gift is redeemed, we'll deliver a beautiful box filled with high-end beauty samples at the beginning of each month. We'll show her how to get the most out of her samples and if she loves them, she can buy full-size versions on Birchbox.com.
