FabFitFun Summer + PopSugar Must Have July + Birchbox

So much to post on today! I got all three of my boxes at about the same time! Here goes ...

First, my free FabFitFun box. I'm still debating keeping this sub .... it's normally $50/season. That's a lot to gamble on a box. However I will say this season was MUCH better than spring.





Ivory Mason Sunglasses ... I guess these could be cute on someone ... these come from their 70s collection apparently and definitely look like it. They look like glasses my mom wore. And they're just not flattering on me at all. They do allow exchanges for $10. But I don't want to spend that. My glasses are hardly tinted at all too. I'll stick with my Coach shades. 


Catalina Su lipgloss ... full size and really nice shade. It doesn't work for everyone, but it's really flattering on me. So this is a win! 


Purlisse Pur-Delicate Gentle Soy Milk Cleanser .... another full size product. I'm always willing to try new facial cleansers! So this will be used for sure! 


Evian Brumisateur Facial Spray ... I haven't tried this yet ... and it's certainly not something I would spend money on. Evian water to spray? Nah. I could put my Brita water in a spritzer and do the same thing. But it was free, so I'm not complaining.


Infinity Sun Glow on the Go ... sunless tanner in travel size. I'll give it a try... but I've been using Jergens Natural Glow Gradual Tan in medium - dark lately and love it. So we'll see ... sunless tanners are so iffy!


It Hair Care Surf Spray ... I tried this the other day and didn't really see any difference .. maybe I didn't use it right. I'll keep trying it and see ... 


KIND Maple Glazed Pecan & Seat Salt bar ... I can't wait to try this! It sounds really yummy. My mom even wanted it! They sell this at the store, so if I love it I'll have another yummy treat I can actually eat! 


Orly polish in Mayhem Mentality... I LOVE this shade! Perfect for summer. It'll be going on my toes before my vaca. I also love that this is a current shade from Orly's Summer 2013 collection!

Box total :
Sunglasses : $135  (SO not worth that by the way)
Lipgloss : $14
Purlisse : $36
Evian : $12
Infinity : $35
Surf Spray : $7
KIND : $1.50
Orly : $7

Box Total : $247.50  (IF you really count the glasses as worth that ... which they aren't... but you're still getting your money's worth in this box at least)

Ok, time for PopSugar Must Have! This month wasn't as good as last month. (last month was super impressive!) 




Baublebar Rose Gold Necklace ... I can't decide how I feel on this necklace. I love rose gold ... and I have seen people post pics where it looks really good with the right outfit. But I'm not sure I have that right outfit ...... my mom called it gangster jewelry. haha Surprisingly, this is sold out on their site! It also came with a coupon code for Baublebar which I was originally excited about until I found out it doesn't apply to personalized items which is what I have had my eye on. But, they have other cute items I guess. 


Hannahmax Crunchy Cookie Chips in Dark Chocolate Chip .. these look yummy! However they have eggs. So I can't eat them! I gave them to my mom who wasn't excited about it. She has yet to try them. 


Tovolo King Cube Tray ... eh. I have an ice maker, why do I need this? Plus I don't drink.. so using it as the photo shows won't happen. I might give it a try just to see how it is. My mom has a big idea of using it to hold screws, nails and other tool items like that. 


Supergoop Sunscreen ... not super exciting. But I guess I can use this on my upcoming vaca. When I needed some at the pool the other day I couldn't find any, so I suppose it'll be handy.


Mighty Leaf Iced Tea in Calypso Mango ... I love iced tea, but not sure about flavored! I'll give it a try maybe with those ice cubes. 


NCLA polish in As If! which is a grayish lavender shade ... not super exciting. But I'll try new brands of polish any time! 

Box Total : 

Baublebar : $28
Cookies : $5.99
Ice Tray : $8.50
Supergoop : $42
Tea : $27
Polish : $16 (wow! More than Butter London!)

Total : $127.49 

Good value ... but nothing super exciting this month. I did receive an email saying their anniversary box is August and they are gifting a lovely Gorjana necklace which is worth $65 already! So I think August will be another great box. 

Finally, Birchbox! (this is one I can't decide if I should keep or not .... ) 


Sample size of Benefit's Girl Meets Pearl ... I've heard about this but never tried it! I'm excited to! 


G-1 Face Cream ... I guess this is for after cleaning your face .... 


Number 4 Hair Care ... a leave in spray conditioner. 


100% Pure Body Cream. 


And some cute bobby pins. 

Whew! That took forever to get it all on here! Want to sub to any of these boxes? Click these links :
