July Birchbox vs Myglam




Opened my mailbox and saw an amazing surprise! Got both my Myglam Bag and my Birchbox in the same shipment!  (about a week ago.)
Glamour theme for the July Birchbox. See it, Hear it, Taste it, Touch it, Smell it. I really want the color under smell it as a nail polish!
What I saw upon opening my box!


From left to right, Birchbox exclusive ear buds, Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint, Oscar de  la Renta: Live in Love, LaraBar Uber in Roasted Nut Roll, Alterna Bamboo UV+ Color Protection Fade-Proof Fluide, Stila Lip Glaze in lights.


As far as Birchbox goes, this month, I loved the box. Big improvement from last months box. 


Birchbox Ear Buds: The ear buds are the perfect color for my quirky personality. If they had come alone, I still would have been happy with this box.
Jouer Luminizing TintThe color for this tiny tiny sample is golden. While I love the product, the color could have been a little lighter and the sample size could have been much bigger. 
Oscar De La Renta Live in Love: This was my least favorite thing in the box, the perfume smelled like something my mother would wear. I prefer fruity scents.
Larabar Uber: I was not too fond of the flavor of the bar, but it was pretty filling. I love Larabar so I was willing to try this one out. 
Stila Lip Glaze: This was my first time actually being able to try the Stila Lip Glaze, I have been using a similar version for the past two years from ELF and I was in love with that, so i was pretty excited to see this in my box! The color, lights, was a brown gloss, but it actually matched my skin tone pretty well!
Alterna Bamboo UV+ Color Protection Fade-Proof Fluide: I love the smell of this, and it doesn't weigh my hair down that much.



Looky looky! I see a pretty bag and some papers. 
Here is what came inside of the bag. That mesh bag is just gorgeous!
From left to right: Circus by Andreas Choice Nail Polish in Reverso, Josie Maran Lip/Cheek Stain in Tango, Kiehl's oil free lotion, NuMe Hydro Punch Hydrating Conditioner, Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes.

 I was really pleased with Myglam this month!
Circus by Andrea's Choice: I am not too fond of this nail polish, I used it as a base to paint my nails neon green and pink, but the nail polish did not want to come off with my acetone. I think I will keep it around for accenting and stamping, but not use it as a base again. 
Josie Maran Lip/Cheek Stain: This color, Tango, is a gorgeous stain color, it is slightly darker than my lips and adds the perfect little pop of color. (I paired this with the Stila glaze from my birchbox and it was the perfect combination) I am glad I received this instead of the Buxom Gloss.
Kiehl's Oil Free Lotion: I love that this has a very light scent medication like scent, not very noticeable unlike most other lotions. This is the perfect size bottle for my purse.
NuMe Hydro Punch: The perfume in this is a little too heavy for my liking. I will give an update on how my hair feels after I use this. 
Yes to Cucumbers towelettes: These towelettes are a refreshing wipe, but only one problem, I am allergic to one of the fragrances in it and only found out afterwards. 


Overall this month, there was a tie between both Myglam and Birchbox. Both cost $10 a month.
