May 2013 Birchbox & Ipsy

May 2013 Birchbox (2)


As you may or may not know, I receive two Birchboxes every month. This month, I received two of the same box. This doesn't happen to me often, this is only the third time since adding a second account in June 2012. There was one slight difference in the two boxes, but I have only taken one picture since all the products were essentially the same.

Amika Obliphica Nourishing Hair Mask - Packed with omega acids and vitamin C, this lush conditioning mask boosts shine and even helps repair split ends. Sample Vaue: $1.60

COOLA Classic Face SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturizer for Face - This mineral sunblock is infused with organic anti-aging ingredients like evening primrose extract and borage seed oil. Sample Value: $4.33

Sumita Color Contrast Eyeliner (Suman - Black) - Inspired by traditional Indian formulas, this velvety liner glides on easily and lasts for hours. Mini Size Value: $5.25

Isaac Mizrahi FABULOUS Isaac Mizrahi Eau de Parfum - For his first scent, the designer created a fanciful blend of mandarin and jasmine laced with vanilla. Sample Value: $2.03
