Spoiler Time! The August Blush Mystery Beauty Box will contain 8 products and will have a value of over $135! (This box only costs $24.95 with a monthly subscription or $34.95 a month.). The full size product they revealed will be in the August box is… Phillip B. Maui Wowie Beach Mist ($22 Value).

 

 

Unlike other beauty subscription cards that detail the products included in your box, the Ipsy card highlights all of the brands they worked with that month. (There are variations of bags you can receive every month).

I do know this much.  This month’s theme is Glamour Academy.  This is what I got.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Noya Vanilla Lip Balm ~ FULL SIZE! Value $4

Chella ~  Dazzling Dark Brown Eyebrow Color Pencil

MicaBeauty ~ Shimmer Powder Eyeshadow in Bronze

Pixi ~ Beauty Lash Booster Mascara in Blackest Black

The theme for this month’s Birchbox is “Finishing School”.

Once upon a time, finishing school meant an elegant Swiss academy where a young lady went to learn the intricacies of high society. While the concept may feel a bit outdated, we love the idea of zeroing in on the details: from the elegance of a handwritten invitation, to the confidence-boosting power of bright red lipstick.

Yuzen used to ship in a USPS envelope, but switched things up this season.  They still ship  via Priority Mail, but they now ship in a box.

Yuzen is $33/quarter and it always comes with colorful Japanese paper called Yuzen as wrapping. They coordinate the wrapping with the insert about the products.  A BEAUTIFUL presentation.  All the products included in the box are deluxe sample size to full size.
