Birchbox May & June 2014
May
This month's theme was about Saturdays and being carefree. It fits with the end of spring: fresh air, good weather, and lots of things to do as we approach summer. What do you do on your Saturdays?

I tried the vitamin chews and it tasted like butt. It had a strange after taste. May as well just swallow the pill version.
There was a tie-in promo with Kate Spade Saturday (Which I never got the chance to use). It's a lower priced version of Kate Spade brand. It's somewhat affordable, but still very pricey.
I did get a full size item in this box (The shea butter lip balm), but I'm not sure if it's really work $8. Yes, shea runs on the expensive end, but it's a small lip balm.

Wow the first box I've received that busted $30. Nothing full sized this month. I really don't know what to do with all these sample perfumes. I have so many that I've accumulated from my birchboxes and my ipsy bags. It's just too much.
I'm looking forward to trying out the shampoo samples. I don't really buy any of the full sized shampoos. It's too expensive for my budget, but I don't mind pampering myself with them via samples.
