June 2012 Birchbox and Freebies

I finally received my June 2012 Birchbox today.  I have been tracking it online for the past few days!!!  This is the second box that I have ordered and it was even better than my first one, which was a Gossip Girl themed box.

June 2012 Birchbox has a "Jet Set" theme.  I am extremely happy with the box that I recieved.  I saw a lot of people complaining online, but not me!  Here is what I received (words copied from the card I received in the box):
 (I am wearing last month's May Birchbox sample of Color Club Nail Polish in Disco Nap in the photo above!)
  • Eyeko Skinny Liquid Liner: Direct from the UK, this user-friendly liquid liner has genius pen applicator and a super smooth formula.  Full-size $15
  • Melvita Rose Floral Water: This organic mist works as a light toner and mid-day skin refreshener.  We also love the delicate scent. Full-size $22
  • theBalm cosmetics Staniac in Beauty Queen: We're crazy about this two-in-one lip and cheek stain: the sheer gel formula delivers a subtle, long-wearing flush.  Full-size $17
  • Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream: This bestselling Japanese cream has a concentrated formula that heals cracked hands, chapped lips, and other forms of dryness.  It's your new carry-on essential.  Full-size $16
Lifestyle Extra
  • Band-Aid Cynthia Rowley Dress Up Band Aids:  Be prepared for life's little emergencies with these stylish designer bandages.  Pack of 20, $15 
Birchbox Man Extra
  • John Varvatos Star USA: In honor of Father's Day, we've included this dapper cologne, a blend of ginger, juniper berries, and vetiver.  Pass it on to a lucky guy friend or family member.  Full-size $55-70 

 Overall:  I am extremely happy with this month's (June) Birchbox.
  • The C.R. band-aids (20 pack) are extremely cute!  Will defintely use these!
  • I immediately tried the Eyeko liquid liner (in purple).  I received a full-size stick, but was not sure about the colour.  It actually looks great on me, and even my mother approved. <3
  • The Staniac is great.  My lips looked great and a little pinker and darker.  I loved this! <3
  • I have not tried the Yu-Be, yet, but I will definitely do that tomorrow!
  • I plan on giving the J.V. Cologne to my fiancé.  That will be a nice surprise!
  • I plan on packing the Rose Floral Water in my bag to try out during the day.  I live in the South, so it gets very hot!


I am not going to cancel my subscription to Birchbox.  This month's box was beyond expectation!  Keep up the good work and I will stay subscribed!
