This month's theme was keeping things light in the hot summer months, and as always there was a cad detailing the samples I received. This month Birchbox again allowed subscribers to choose one of their samples.

The first items in my box were a set of Neil George shampoo and conditioner. I really like when subscription boxes send a pair of Harvard products, as opposed to just one.

The next two products were ModelCo shimmer bronzed (my sample pick) and Dr. Jart+ BB dis-a-pore primer. The bronzed is a good shade and blends well, and the BB primer seems nice, but the sample is very small.

The last item in my box was a fragrance, which I seem to be getting a lot of lately. Unfortunately, this one wasn't for me. It's described as a summery mix of fruits and florals, but I found it overly flowery and way too strong.

This month was ok for me, but I really like that Birchbox is letting you choose one of your samples. I hope they continue with it! Thanks for reading, and remember to stay gorgeous!
