(descriptions taken from the birchbox website)

boscia B.B. Cream SPF 27 PA++
Popularized in Asia, BB creams have been making waves on both sides of the Atlantic—and we’re happy to report the positive press is well-deserved. We’re particularly smitten with this preservative-free version from boscia, a brand that combines the best in botanical science with Japanese innovation. It functions as a primer , moisturizer, foundation, and SPF to lighten your makeup bag and streamline your morning routine. The oil-free formula comes in a universal, self-adjusting shade that is suitable for most skin tones. It creates a lustrous finish and provides natural coverage that conceals imperfections.

stila It’s Go Time Lip Glaze
We’d recognize stila’s lip glazes from a mile away: their pen-style applicators are one of a kind. After raving about their genius qualities for years, we jumped at the chance to team up with stila and create this limited edition set. Each rosy neutral looks great on all skin tones and can be worn alone or layered over lipsticks or stains.

Color Club® Summer Pastels Collection
Pastels aren’t just for Easter. These creamy shades mix the sweetness of pastels with the boldness of brights. They’re the perfect way to update your wardrobe for summer. Each cheery shade looks equally stylish on fingers or toes.

Tea Forté® minteas
These pick-me-up treats are laced with healthy ingredients that keep you balanced. The flavors are designed not only to taste good but also to accomplish specific wellness goals. Resist boosts immunity with lemon and lime extracts, while Results, a spicy matcha chai and cinnamon blend, spurs metabolism. Regroup, a ginger pear treat, helps you focus; energizing Reboot is a cocoa mate; and Retreat, a lemongrass yuzu blend, is designed to help you relax.

Annick Goutal Eau d'Hadrien
French fragrance designer Annick Goutal took inspiration from Italy for this iconic citrus scent, which launched in 1981. Bright and effervescent, the universal and timeless blend conjures up the image of sun-ripened fruit in a Tuscan orchard.

Birchbox Exclusive Earbuds
Whether we’re jogging through the park or powering through a laptop session, earbuds are one of our constant accessories. So we started thinking: why stick with the same boring white pair we’ve been using for years? We designed these custom pink and green or pink and blue neon earbuds so we can rock out to our favorite tunes in style. They’re extra-durable and extra-comfy—now that’s music to our ears.

this month, birchbox partnered with glamour magazine. as soon as i heard it was a '5 senses' theme, i figured i'd be getting some things i didn't really want.. like a food product and a perfume. besides those 2 things, i'm totally happy with the box. as always, i'm pumped to receive a full size stila product. LOVE the nail polish! and i've been testing out a million bb creams and i'm happy to add this one to my list. i'm always losing my headphones so these will be useful too! plus they're cute! overall, a pretty good box!
