Mornings? I am a morning person, I love to wake up at the crack of 11AM. However my work schedule gets in the way of my sleepy time, so I am forced to get up at 6:30am during the week and well the dog has no concept of time, so I wake up round 7 on the weekends.

Simplicity gets me out of the door quickly.Ya know because I have to catch them all, yes I to am hooked on the Pokemon Go craze. I love it! Anyways simplicity is best because it gets me out to the bus stop on time. I am a night shower person, so with that out of the way, all I do in the morning is makeup, brush teeth, and my hair. Plus walk the dog, the dog must be walked otherwise he gets angry. No one likes an angry dog.

Enough about my mornings and my dog, let’s get to it. We both know you came here to see what I got in my July Birchbox.

July 2016 – MY MORNING ROUTINE

Benefit Cosmetics – gimmie brow volumizing fiber gel: This innovative, water resistant fiber gel has a precision tip for shaping and build-able formula for thick, lush brows.

COOLA Environmental Repair Plus Radical Recovery After-Sun Lotion: This soothing lotion uses agave to moisturize, protect, and calm any post-sun woes.

MDSolarSciences Mineral Creme SPF 50 Broad Spectrum UVA-UVB Sunscreen: Safe for acne and rosacea prone skinm this silky SPF cream absorbs quickly so it won’t leave a white, greasy sheen.

Milk Makeup Sunshine Oil: This portable rollerball brightens, hydrates, and illuminates to give skin a dewy glow thanks to essential oils.

Smashbox Cosmetics X-Rated Mascara: This unique formula uses Tripod fibers that stack on lashes for endless volume that won’t clump or flake.

This months sample choice was all about mascara, we could chose from three different mascara brands. I chose the smashbox brand and the other four samples were chosen by BirchBox.

In late June our buddies at BirchBox dropped a huge ass bomb, they this is hard for me to type, dropped their points program. We as subscribers no longer earn points for reviewing our monthly samples. I know ladies I too am in morning, maybe they will find something new to keep us intrigued. At this point BirchBox is attached to my soul and I am not ready to pull the plug on my subscription, so for now that bright pink box will still don my door step.
