Whish Shave Cream in Pomegranate

Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy La Fleur

Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream

Stila Foundation Card

Stila Foundation Sample

A very weak Birchbox this month.  

So much for the deluxe size samples from Birchbox.  The Stila sample is not a deluxe size.  The whole box was very uninspired.  I loathe foundation samples on cards like this.  You can only barely do a color match with your skin, and you can never get a true sense of the coverage.

Probably my favorite thing in here is the Whish Shave Cream.  It is something I would buy.

The August 2012 Birchbox includes:

Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy La Fleur

Stila Stay All Day foundation swatch on a card

Whish Shave Crave cream

Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream

Schick Hydro Silk Razor

Some nice goodies from MyGlam - but I'm not sure about the dodgy lip gloss that was made in China!  It seems like a sneaky way to disguise the fact that it is a product made in China, which reminds me of all of the suspect ingredients in makeup products that are produced there.  I worked with a company who manufactured in China and I am very aware of the issues associated with producing cosmetics there.  This is why I try to avoid cosmetics that are made there.

It honestly just turns me off and I can't help but view this lipgloss with suspicion.  This just means I'll never use it, and I'll feel guilty about giving it away to someone to use.  I'm not at all happy about this.  I know myself and I know I can't let this product touch my skin - I'll trash it.  

I think that trust in a company is important, and the problem is I feel like I can't trust MyGlam - especially after the Cindy Crawford packaging fiasco and all the other issues surrounding persons who are associated with MyGlam.

But having said that, the rest of the bag is fabulous!
