Birchbox June Customization Time!

Hello all!

I had a wonderful weekend off and even though my first adventure into nail stamping turned out a half fail I learned some things.  The #1 thing I learned from my failure?  Make sure you clean your stamper and plate with alcohol not acetone.  My acetone has vitamin E and aloe in it which caused the nail polish to giggle... and then it stayed firmly in the metal plate.  After I wiped it down with acetone to clean it then alcohol to 'degrease' it I got it to work. (messily, so no pics for you!)  

Next time, I promise pictures everywhere!

But I digress....  What I really want to talk about is the Birchbox choices for June!  I finally got my e-mail from Birchbox saying it was time to pick out what I want.  Here is what they sent:

So this month Birchbox gave us the choice to have one of two different sunscreens (perfect for the June sun!), Dermaclear Micro water (a quick fix to a dirty face), a pair of firming eye gels, or the editors box (The Tig).

I honestly was going to choose the sunscreen, but I looked in my closet at the 6 bottles I already have and thought better of it. The eye gels look super fun to use and who doesn't want firm eyes?  But I have a problem with products that provide so much waste because they are one and done.  I'll stick to a cooling eye gel mask that is reusable thanks!

So that leaves the editor box or the micro water.  There were a lot of things in the editors box I liked.  To be honest the only reason I didn't select it is the perfume sample.  My husband is SUPER allergic to almost all perfumes.  I learned a looooong time ago not to wear that stuff anymore. 

Micro water it is!  I think it will be perfect for me. I do a lot of yard work this time of year, so having the option to refresh my face quickly, remove dirt and makeup, all in a gym-bag friendly adorable size?  Yup!  Sounds like a win for me.  I can't wait to try it out!

So what are you all getting in your Birchbox?  Did anyone pick the editors box?  I would love to know the product you are most looking forward to!

~Love Thyselves!
