Birchbox July 2014 (and poop).

Yay I got my Birchbox for July! I love Birchbox. They deliver every month for $10 and it is totally worth the $10. They deliver all different kinds of beauty products and health products. So here is a review of my box.

The Box

 

 

As you can see this month they teamed up with Women's Health. I forgot to take a picture because I already mailed it but this month you can get a 1 year subscription for free to their magazine. Yay! Worth the subscription because it is valued at $9.99

 

The Description Card

 

 

I should mention I am not the greatest photographer. I took these with my cell camera. I am way too cheap to buy one. I love the card because it tells you what it is, the full size price and how to use it. I find it helpful in deciding if I want to purchase more of a product.

 

The Likes

 

 

Cynthia Rowley Silver Eyeliner: I love this. I didn't think I would like it because it is silver. I am an all black girl. It was nice to step out of my comfort zone. The only complaint I had is when I tried to take it off it was a little difficult. I used makeup remover but it just stayed. I had to scrub. This is also a good thing because it means that it will stay on and not melt away like some eyeliner does.

 

 

Harvey Prince Hello Body Cream: Another product I loved. It smells so good. I am thinking I will be buying a full size of this. It is smooth and not at all oily. I hate when lotion is oily.

 

 

Number 4 Super Comb Prep and Protect: This is a leave in conditioner. Right now because I am post WLS I am having a hard time keeping my hair from drying out. I liked this because it helped my hair feel smoother and less dry. I liked it.

 

The Not Really Disliked but Not Liked

 

 

Supergoop CC Cream: I have heard a lot of great things about this product. However when I opened it I thought it smelled really gross so I didn't test it out. I didn't want to put something on my face that I would have to smell all day.

 

The box also included some gummie multivitamins. I didn't take a picture or try them because my doctor advises against gummy vitamins post WLS. For a while anyway and I am only two months out so I didn't want to try them.

 

I have to say I liked this box too and I do think it is worth the money. I was worried that I would have a great first box and that it would go downhill from there. So far so good and I do recommend it.

 

Okay on to poop. I have finally been allowed to eat meat again. I don't know if it is because of all the protein but I have been constipated since Sunday. Well today I pooped. It was a great feeling. I know TMI but trust me when you have gone that long with out pooping it can become uncomfortable and when you aren't constipated anymore you want to dance.

 



Cocoa Butter: Not Just For Prego's

 

This is my favorite stuff right now. With my weight loss has come a lot of skin issues. I love the Palmer's Cocoa Butter because it makes my skin feel so great. It is supposed to help with stretch marks. I don't think I will know how well that is for awhile, but as far as my skin goes it is awesome. I have a lot of dry skin right now because my body is getting used to changes. I have used this on all my dry spots and it has soothed those spots. It smells great too. I know that this stuff isn't for everyone but it is great for me.
