August Birchbox + Popsugar Must Have

It's that time again ... monthly sub boxes! Both were pretty good boxes this month. However, I can't decide if I should keep Birchbox ..... I enjoy it, but at the same time it's just samples of mostly items that I don't need any more of...... anyway... this month's box!




Whish Exfoliating Body Wash and Deodorant Swipe. I tried the swipe and it was ok. I still prefer regular deodorant! The body wash was also ok.... I wasn't crazy about the scent which I think was coconut milk or something. However I do still love my Whish Blueberry shaving cream! Smells soooo good. =) 


Eau Flirt ... I have to admit, I hate perfume samples. I never use them! This perfume says it's been proven to attract men. I just don't know about that .... lol 


Model Co Party Proof Matte Lipstick. This shade is Disco Fever. It's kind of a bright coral shade and really doesn't look too bad on me! It is matte thought as it says, so gloss is definitely needed!


Juice Beauty Moisturizer. I haven't tried this yet .... apparently you use this after cleaning your face. Can I just say I am up to my ears in facial cleansers and post cleanser products?! So tired of them. lol 

So, I'm considering canceling this one.... not sure.

My Popsugar box! I actually like this box, even though it's more on the practical side...





The Gorjana Open Circle necklace is for their one year anniversary. I took it as being kind of an extra item. It's a nice necklace ... very short. Certainly not quite as fancy as I was expecting. I wouldn't say it's worth what they ask for it, but it's still nice. And I do really love Gorjana. =)



I actually think this is kind of neat. It's really convenient as the bottom is a larger container with a lid that holds silverware (that also come with it), then a divided container goes on top of that with a lid and strap included. It's smaller than my tupperware containers I currently use for lunch at work, so this will fit in my lunch box so much better. I'm happy with this! 



Lunares apple dish. This is really cute and will be perfect for my apartment when I'm finally able to move out! For now I'm using it to hold jewelry on my dresser. (It's a lot smaller than it looks here)



Dermalogica Double Cleanse... I really do have way too many cleansers, but this one is really nice! It definitely made my skin feel so soft! Not sure I'll pay what they want for full size bottles, but I'll enjoy these while I have them. =) 



NatureBox is another monthly sub box. They had a code on the back of this for money off of your first box with them. I would try it, but am afraid that they'd send a lot of items I can't eat. These apples aren't bad. I actually prefer Snapz apples though .... 





May Designs Weekly To-Dos Book ... this is so cute! I wish I used to do planners .... I may try to use this more ... but the Hooray card had a code to get a discount on another product which I used for a custom budget journal. Something I can (and need to!) actually use! 




Lulah body wash in Magnolia Fig. The bottle is really pretty and the scent isn't bad ... although this is something else I don't need any more of ....
