I may have to retract my previous statement about the Laura Geller Blush being my favorite product from my June Birchbox. I have been searching for YEARS to find a lotion that doesn't feel too heavy but still hydrates and moisturizes the way it is supposed to. I have been using Palmer's Cocoa and Shea Butter lotions for several years but stop using it during the summer as I live in the California Valley and it tends to get really hot and humid, so a heavy lotion just makes that horrible sticky feeling that much worse. I have found the answer to my long quest and it is the Nuxe Reve de Miel Ultra Comfortable Body Cream. It is so light weight and yet it makes my skin so soft and it smells amazing. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! My only gripe and its a big one(at least for me) the price....$35 for 150 ml. EEK! So, my plan is to get some Birchbox points saved up to help cut the high cost of this lotion because it is just that good.
Here is what Birchbox had to say about it:
"Nuxe’s nourishing formula works in three steps: First honey liposomes and antioxidant-rich wild fruit oils hydrate skin. Next, macadamia oil soothes any irritations. Lastly, honey from fir trees (chosen for their resistance to harsh weather conditions) tones and restores, while chestnut extract renews cells to prevent further dryness."

So, this gorgeous pink box was waiting for me today after I finished putting my son down for a nap. I have been waiting somewhat impatiently since the 7th when I got the email that it shipped out. I have obsessively been watching nearly every single June Birchbox Youtube video since the 7th to see what everyone got. Now if your not familiar with Birchbox it is a monthly subscription (similar to a magazine) where you get 4 to 5 deluxe beauty samples shipped to you every month. There are couple options as to how you would like to be billed. The first and the one that I have chosen is to have my card automatically debited $10 once a month and you can cancel anytime. The second option is to pay for the full year, which is $110 in which they give you one months box for free. In which case you would continue to receive your boxes for the full year without the opt out opportunity, but you can transfer it so that someone else receives it. You also receive customer reward points for every box that you get. I believe it is 10 points a box and then once you get your box they ask they you review the products that were in your box for additional points. Every 100 reward points that you collect counts for $10.00 towards the purchase of a full size product from their site. Once you join they ask that you fill out your beauty questionnaire which asks you questions about your skin type, and beauty preferences. This way they can send you beauty samples that are relevant to you. OK, with all that info out of the way lets jump into what was in my June Birchbox!
I could not be happier with my first months box and I'm already looking forward to seeing what July's box has to offer! I got a full size Laura Geller product that retails for $29.50 and I only paid ten bucks for the box. Great fun, its like your birthday every month. Go check them out. https://www.birchbox.com/
