June Birchbox

I got my Birchbox this month and didn't once check the spoilers so it was a complete surprise when it got here :)

The theme was Brazil and the bag colours were gorgeous!

The first item i took out was this make up applicator, i've seen them around and heard great things but i've yet to try it, the best thing about it was that it comes with a hard soap in the box to clean your sponge with, i usually wash my muslin cloths and dip my brushes but neither would be suitable for this so it was a great combination.

The soap is a hard bar and you just wet the sponge, rub it over the soap, lather it up and rinse it clean, then air dry it so it's easy and quick. No excuse for dirty applicators.

The 'extra' has s far been little foodie items so it was a surprise when i found this cute little sandal keyring, it put it straight on my keys and it's brightened them up :)

Next was....yes you quessed it, another!! nail varnish, i was a little dissapointed in the size of the bottle as it really is diddy, however since i have more than enough and i didn't see it really fitted in with the brazil colours i gave it to my daughter, it's cute and girly and it'll last much longer on her tiny nails.

I got another oil, i don't normally like oils and i don't tend to use them at all but this Caudalie bath and body oil smells so nice, if anyone can tell me what the scent is i'd be happy to compensate with a little gift, i really need it in my life, it didn't leave me greasy and it's a great alternative to lotion in this heat.

I got a sample tube of coola classic face cream, i thought it was a sun lotion for the face which got me excited but it only has spf, not uva/uvb protection so it's just more of a daily cream, i'm not a huge fan but it'll do for my travel bag.

And i saved the best until last, i'm often great at picking the wrong shade of lippy, i go too bright, too coral or too heavy but this is perfect, it looks very mauve but gots on almost nude, it adds just a hit of colour without over powering and i'm in love, i'm even considering it as my wedding lippy!
