Birchbox August 2012

This month's Birchbox focused on a back to school beauty supply kit that would transition us into the fall season. Personally, I was pretty disappointed with my August box and the only thing that got me slightly excited was the inclusion of a Schick 5 Blade Hydro Silk Razor (and that's only because I'm due for another razor soon).

My Glam Bag July 2012

I was surprisingly pleased with this month's beauty bag. It's usually a hit or miss with My Glam and I am always debating whether or not to cancel my subscription. I'll see what is in store for the upcoming bags and make a decision from there.

The Birchbox May 2012 samples were inspired by the show "Gossip Girls". I was curious about what my box would contain since I found out the samples were going to be inspired by the show.

Here is what was in my Birchbox May 2012 box.

My Glam June 2012

I've been subscribing to My Glam and Birchbox since last year and overall, I've been pleased with their products (though there are a couple of hits and misses with My Glam). I've been meaning to post about my monthly boxes, but I just never get around to it. Not to mention, it is such a challenge trying to type with one hand while using the other hand trying to keep a certain baby's slobbery mess away from the keyboard. Oh, but how I love that slobbery mess any day, any time!
