Birchbox #2- July

First off, I wanted to thank you all for the support in yesterday's post about Patches. I really felt all the love from you all with the great comments you sent. I truly appreciate them all. 

This Birchbox review is a little late, but it's been a busy busy month. This is my second Birchbox and this box made me love my subscription even more! There was some really great products in this box and I loved them all. This month Birchbox teamed up with Glamour to give each wonderful person a box full of senses! Each product in this box relates to a different sense. How fun is that!?

Here's what I got:

Larabar Uber Bar

This energy bar was so yummy! It tasted exactly like banana nut bread.

They're super good for you and a great way to get 

a little pick me up in between meals. 

Oscar de la Renta Live in Love 

I really like the smell of this perfume, though it isn't

a scent I would wear for everyday wear. If I have a hot

date with the man or going out with the girls I would 

definitely wear this then. 

Birchbox Exclusive Earbuds

I was really excited for these earbuds to come in my box. 

I love the bright neon colors. The only downside is that after

a while of using them I noticed they started to wear out

quickly. I was kind of disappointed with that, but otherwise 

they're great!

Jouer Moisture Tint

I gotta say, I love this product!! I'm not a big fan of the 

"luminizing" part (too Edward Cullen for me) but otherwise 

it's a great moisturizing light foundation. I've been using it everyday for the 

last couple of weeks. 

Boscia Blotting Linens 

Love these!! I've been using them everyday since I got them

and they work great! 

Eyeko Liquid Eyeliner

I'm not a big user of eyeliner, but I really like this olive green 

color. It glides on really nice and is super easy to work with. 

That's it for today, hope you guys enjoyed the unboxing! I can't wait for my August box to come in!! 

Who else joined Birchbox?

Patches

Last week my mom and I had to make the decision that we've been holding off a while. We had to say goodbye to one of the greatest cats I've ever known. Patches had gotten really sick in the last month and wasn't showing any signs of getting better. He put up a strong fight, but I knew he was suffering and knowing he's in a better place now puts a smile on my face. 

Thank you Patches for keeping me smiling the past 11 years. Thank you for distracting me with your adorable face when I had homework to be done. Thank you for spending all day in bed with me. You were always the best cuddler. Thank you for greeting me at the door every day. Thank you for being there during all the break ups with high school boys and fights with friends. Thank you for loving me unconditionally, even after yelling at you for drinking out the fish bowl. Most of all, thank you for being the best little fur prince any girl could ask for.

You'll always be the best cat. 

Christmas In July-the unboxing!

A few months ago, I signed up for Christmas In July. I barely made the deadline, but I am so glad I made it in last minute. This was such a fun experience and I had so much fun shopping for my partner. I was paired with Jen from Dexter Morgan's Mama and when I got my box in the mail, I jumped for joy and immediately started tearing apart my box. Jen put the perfect things in my box and I couldn't thank her more. It truly was Christmas in July!!  

Here's what the fabulous laday got me!

Candy

There was sooo much candy in this box! 

The sad thing is, it's almost all gone. 

I'm an addict.

Nail Polish

She gifted me three different nail polish, all of which I love.

I'm a nail polish whore and always love getting more. 

I can't wait to try these beautiful colors out!

Yarn

It's like she red my mind with this one.

I've wanted to take up knitting and refresh my brain

 on how to do it again. Love these colors and can't wait

to jump right in. Winter scarfs, here I come!

Nail File

She also got me this adorable nail file with little Scottish Terriors on it. 

I'm always in need of these.

Cat Figure

This was a favorite in my box. It's hard to show in the picture

but it's a little cat figure with a nose and a tail. So cute.

His new home is on my windowsill. 

Card

And after all the goodies I opened this card to find 

the sweetest note from her. :)

Jen also got my kitties some cat toys which they instantly took from me when they saw the feathers. They thank you a ton Jen! I want to give Jen a HUGE thank you for the box, I loved it. I'm so happy I signed up for Christmas in July. If it held next year, I'm totally in! 

Happy Wednesday everyone!
