This July Birchbox got a lot of hype because it was curated by fashion designer, Cynthia Rowley. I am not super duper into fashion so I'll admit to being a little ignorant of who she is. I just went to check out her website and it kinda creeped me out. Don't watch the video. Well, she designed some cute Band-Aids...but they're $10. Who spends $10 on designer Band-Aids? Wait. Don't answer that. Back to the box.

I was really entertained by the tissue paper matching my bedsheets this month. They usually wrap everything in pink so this was a fun little surprise. So, here is what I got:

| It's like a little present inside a present! |
My Impression: Meh.
- AHAVA Mineral Hand Cream 25ml
- philosophy purity made simple one-step facial cleanser 1 fl oz
- Redken shine flash 02 2.1 fl oz
- Zoya Touch Collection Nail Polish in Shay 0.25 fl oz
- Kind Almond & Apricot Bar
The hand cream is nice, but I am not too keen on the smell. It's not too strong of a fragrance so I'll probably still use it. The cleanser is also nice, but stinky. It doesn't dry out my skin which is a plus. I haven't tried the Redken shine spray. I usually have my hair up for work and it's been ridiculously hot so I'll get back to you on that one. My first impression of the Zoya nail polish was ugh. It's a light neutral color and I always wear bright colors and I only paint my toes. I tried it out on my thumb and the color is starting to grow on me. Last, but not least, the Almond & Apricot Bar was delicious. I didn't have an afternoon snack on my way home from work so it was the perfect treat. The apricot added a nice tartness to the sweet crunch of the almonds.
Overall, it was not a bad box, but not that great either. The value of the products is about $19 and I paid $10. I wonder what July will bring. Interested in Birchbox? Let me know!
