Birchbox July 2013

First Look!

This month's theme is Power Play. I was having some issues with the camera or Blogger - not sure what was happening but some of these pictures are rotated the wrong way. I don't know how it happened or how to fix it.

Kerastase Chroma Thermique Leave in Treatment

PUR Minerals CC Cream. I tried this out and wasn't really impressed. I was excited to try out a CC cream and this is my first one. I was under the understanding that CC creams are supposed to have more coverage than a BB cream and I need that for my acne scars and hyper pigmentation.  This product did not seem to cover any better than the BB creams that I have tried.  I don't think that I will be purchasing this. 

Birchbox Bobby Pins

Vivant Skincare 3% Mandelic Acid 3-in1 wash.

   Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner in Purple. I was so excited to see this in my Birchbox! I have heard some really great things about this eyeliner from Jen at From Head to Toe.  She says that this is her holy grail eyeliner and it's really great for her asian eyes. I wanted to try this out, but just haven't had the chance to. So I was really happy to see this and even more surprised that I got a full sized sample of the product.  I liked that it came in a purple color and it looked good on the eyes. The eyeliner didn't remain all day without smudging but it didn't smudge too much - like the Canmake eyeliner that I got in Thailand. 

This month was a pretty good box for me. The eyeliner was my favorite part of this box.
