August 2013's Birchbox theme was Finishing School.
You'll see Ipsy took a similar route in my next post.

ARCONA Cranberry Gommage - $44 for 3.4 oz
Sample Size
$8.80 for 0.68 oz
One word...DELICIOUS. Yes, this is a face scrub but oh man does it smell good. Imagine rubbing pixi sticks all over your face and that will give you a good visual and scent. This scrub works wonders, no wonder it won an Allure Beauty Award.

Miss Jessie's® Original Rapid Recovery Treatment - $26 for 8 oz
Sample Size
$1.50 for 0.46 oz
The sample allowed me 2 treatments. Although I didn't love the smell, think dog food mixed with old lady salon, I did love the product. It made my hair very smooth and shiny and my split ends were a tad less noticeable.

Miss Jessie's® Original Super Sweetback Treatment - $26 for 8 oz
Sample Size
$1.50 for 0.46 oz
Like the other treatment I didn't love the smell but it did make my hair ends less brittle. Since I only had 2 uses out of it I can't tell if it really helps hair growth like it says.

ModelCo Party Proof Lipstick Trio - $24 for 3
Sample Size
$8 for 1
I received the orange in the middle of the picture called, Disco Fever. I have been quite into oranges lately so I was super excited to try this out. It was incredibly creamy, but not very long lasting. Mine was received partially broken which was sad but Birchbox has since sent me a new box as an apology (A+ for customer service).

These seem like a good idea but I didn't find them as effective as self tanning lotion. It is easy to get streaky and splotchy which is definitely a no no.

I was supposed to receive a Coastal Scents trio palette but it was not included. Like previously stated about the Model Co lipstick, Birchbox has sent me a new box.
