For the July 2012 Birchbox, they teamed up with Glamour magazine to celebrate the 5 senses of summer. I was extremely pleased with my Birchbox this month!
Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner – My favorite item of this month’s Birchbox! I got the color purple which is super fun! The tip on this is really fine at the end to get a thin, precise line but tapers to help you make thicker lines if wanted. Plus it’s full sized!
Color Club Nail Polish in Blue-Ming – A mini sized bottle of polish in a pastel turquoise color. Love it!
Alterna Bamboo Color Care UV+ Fade Proof Fluide – A finishing gloss with organic bamboo and kalahari melon which protects color from fading while keeping hair soft and strong. Perfect timing on this one! I get my roots done in 2 days so I’ll use it starting this weekend and see if it makes a difference. Smells really great too!
Harvey Prince Eau Flirt Fragrance – A very unique scent that is really hard to describe. The Birchbox card says it contains citrus and jasmine notes over a base of lavender and pumpkin. Sounds like a weird combo but I do like it.
Larabar Uber in Bananas Foster – A delicious fruit and nut bar! It tastes just like banana nut bread, so yummy!
Earbuds – Neon green and pink earbuds! Cute extra this month, can’t wait to try them!
In a separate envelope a few days earlier, I also received a pink leather key fob from Birchbox! The end flap opens up and allows you to slip in a small tube of gloss or lipstick to carry with you. I’m not sure how many other people got them though.

Sometimes I see Birchbox posts and I’m sooo jealous, and other times I am glad I don’t have a subscription. This is a rather nice box, but I really hate how they throw in the non-makeup-y items. It seems like a cheat to me…I know others like it though, so whatevs 🙂
I agree and sometimes we’re lucky to even receive a single makeup item. What I wish they would do less of is the fragrance samples. But I still love Birchbox regardless. It’s just a nice surprise every month for only $10 bucks.
How did the Alterna Bamboo Color Care UV+ Fade Proof Fluide work out?
I really didn’t notice anything special about it to warrant purchasing a full size. It’s probably something you need to use for a while to notice the benefits.
