What's in My September Birchbox

So this month's Birchbox theme was around fashion. This past week was NYC fashion week so this is perfect timing for a fashion theme. I do find that the themes don't have much to do with what you get in your box but its still a cute idea. So here is what the message on the card says, "September marks the starting line for the season's fashion bonanza. We'll leave the 900+ page fall fashion issues to Vogue, but that doesn't mean we don't have plenty of inspiration to share. We've put together a mini-mag filled with ten of our favorite fall beauty trends. Flip through to get inspired!"

Whats in My August Birchbox

This is my August Birchbox. The theme is Beauty School Supply Kit which fits in well with going back to school for some. This doesn't really fit well for me since I'm not in school but I guess for those who are it's cute. The yellow outside is a fun change from the usual pink. Instead of the usual card they gave us a square booklet. It says,

"We all remember the excitement of back to school shopping and the thrill of stocking up on fresh notebooks and pens. This month, we're helping you refill your beauty supply kit with must-try essentials and new products that will take you through the fall. Plus, we've put together a Beauty 101 series to ensure that you ace every class. Read on, and have a great semester."

July Empties

This is my first empties post. Some of my favorite YouTube videos to watch are empties. I've noticed a lot more people talking about this recently and it makes so much sense. I think if you finish a full sized product it really shows that you must really like the product and also it gives the opportunity for people to talk about each product and whether or not they would repurchase the product. I get a ton of samples which I do try to use so a lot of my empties will be skincare samples. I think that this should count though since sometimes these samples take quite a while to get through. I'm going to break up my empties into categories and will discuss what I thought out each product and whether or not I'll repurchase it. I hope you all enjoy!

What's in My July Birchbox

When I got home from work today I was suprised to see that my July Birchbox was waiting for me. The tracking said it would probably be delivered on Friday but I'm starting to notice that I can't go by the tracking. This month Birchbox partnered with Glamour magazine and the theme is celebrating the five senses of summer.
