Project Use It Up- Samples/Minis Edition

I've decided today to go through all of my samples/minis and organize them. After doing that I realized that I just have a ton of samples that I need to use it. My goal is to use up as many of these samples before the end of 2012. I wish update you at the end of the year with how I did. Of course the samples pile is always growing since I am always getting freebies with orders, at events, beauty boxes, etc. I will also be including products that I use up in my empties post each month. My makeup samples are not as bad as my skincare ones. Certain areas of skincare I could not have to buy anything new for a very long time, like moisturizer. So these are my samples that I'm trying to use up in 2012:

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."
