Birchbox totally sneaked up on me this month, but I'm not complaining because I kind of LOVE everything I got. Let's dive in!
amika Obliphica Nourishing Mask: "Packed with omega acids and vitamin C, this lush conditioning mask boosts shine and even helps repair split ends." Full-size $12-$40, sample size $1.60
I. Love. This. Stuff. It's seriously great. I've purchased it through Birchbox before, but purchasing an item doesn't mean you won't receive it as a sample in the future. I am soo not complaining. This will last me 2-3 uses; I had previously purchased the smaller $12 tube, which lasted me about 2 months. I'm trying to save up points so I can get the $40 tub for free! Seriously wonderful product. The smell is heavenly, and it leaves my hair feeling so hydrated and soft.
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." Full-size $32, sample size $4.33
I've received a COOLA face sunscreen before, but that one was just purely a sunscreen. This one is a moisturizer with SPF. Love my SPF, so I'm very excited about this. Also, I love that it came in a little tube--the last COOLA product I got came in an non-resealable cardboard pouch of sorts, but I still loved it enough to use points on it. Hooray COOLA!
Marvis Classic Mint Toothpaste: "A stylish Italian import with an invigorating peppermint flavor." Full-size $10.50, sample size $1.40
How adorable. I'm going on a trip in a couple of weeks for Memorial Day weekend, and this toothpaste will definitely get used!
Sumita Color Contrast Eyeliner: "Inspired by traditional Indian formulas, this velvety liner glides on easily and lasts for hours." Set of 4 mini pencils $21, sample size (1 pencil) $4.25
Tiny baby eyeliner! I received the shade "Suman", which appears to be just black. A very densely pigmented black. I usually wear brown or dark brown eyeliner since dark black can look harsh against my light skin and light eyes, but this will be fun to try! Closeup of the product is below.
LIFESTYLE EXTRA
Runa Guayusa Tea: "With more antioxidants than green tea, this caffeine-rich blend is made from Amazonian Guayusa leaves." Full-size(16 packets) $7, sample size(4 packets) $1.75
Tea. Yummy. End of story. By the way, it's pronounced "gwhy-you-sa". Fancy.
So! The total monetary value of my May Birchbox is $14.33. More than the $10 price tag, but not by much. Despite this, I love and look forward to using everything I got! Good job, Birchbox!

Also, if you're reading this, I hope your Monday went well! I went through most of the day feeling like it was already Tuesday, so the rest of this week is bound to be just swell. :)
