Hi everyone! The last subscription box of the month is here and this month’s theme was all about multitaskers.
Take a look below to see what I received!
Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser
A creamy cleanser that sweeps away dirt and makeup while gently exfoliating. This product was paired with a muslin cloth to aid in the removal of it, although you can remove it separately. First off, I really love how this product feels- so very creamy and luxurious. However, it did leave a film behind and although I tried to remove it with a different cleanser, it never really went away. It kind of made me breakout a little too. I will try this again once the weather cools down.
Coola Classic Face SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturizer
An eco-friendly, lightweight sunscreen that has a cucumber scent. This is a chemical sunscreen that has antioxidants like evening primrose oil and acai which are a nice addition. It doesn’t feel heavy at all but as much as I like Coola products, I’ve been receiving them a lot lately and would love to explore other brands.
Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek in Perk
This lip and cheek stick melt on contact with body heat for sheer, buildable color. The sheer coral shade is a great option as a cheek color or lip shade. I prefer to use it as a cheek shade and it goes on nicely and blends out evenly. I will be trying this out further to see if it causes breakouts or not.
Oribe Glaze for Beautiful Color
A lightweight formula that protects and adds gloss to hair ans strengthens and nourishes hair with watermelon, lychee and edelweiss. I’m a fan of a few Oribe products so I was curious to see how this worked since I have color treated hair. This did make my hair feel softer and left a nice, glossy sheen behind. However, most Oribe in shower products cause a little bit of a reaction on me and this made me slightly itchy. I might just use it sporadically to minimize the reaction time as I was impressed with the results.
Bonus: Oribe Shampoo and Conditioner for Beautiful Color
While I really like the Oribe shampoos and conditioners (hello amazing scent and lovely feel!), I do seem to have a reaction to them as my hair and body start to itch. I decided to hold off on these as I tried the Oribe glaze and didn’t want to increase the risk for a reaction.
Tocca Florence Eau de Parfum
Notes of grapefruit, bergamot, jasmine, blue iris, blonde wood and white musk make up this scent. Unfortunately, this was a no-go for me as the scent of jasmine was a bit overwhelming.
Overall, this box was just okay. I could do without the perfume and while I appreciate the sunscreen, I have plenty samples to last me a while.
What do you think of this month’s Birchbox? Will you be keeping your subscription?

I love when Birch Box includes Oribe products! They’re sooo expensive but usually really amazing. The gloss sounds amazing, I might have to try that one out!
Oribe has a really nice line up of products. I really wouldn’t mind paying the price because I love how they work and smell but unfortunately some of them make my hair and skin itchy. 🙁 But yes try the gloss- I think you’ll love it. 🙂
