Birchbox: June

It's that time of the month again and my latest Birchbox has arrived! I love that excitement I get when I get the "your Birchbox has been shipped" notice and of course I stalk the the shipment status like a crazed lunatic.

This month's theme was Jetsetter. I'm not 100% sure how they got that theme from the box contents, but oh well. This month was definitely better than last months and 1 product alone made it completely worth it.


So the starting line up....

Wonderstruck Taylor Swift 3.4 oz
stila One Step Bronze
Comodynes Self-Tanning Intensive
theBalm cosmetics Stainiac
LUNA Bar

I'm in complete LUST with the lip/cheek stain. This stuff is awesome and I'm so glad it was included. It has a pretty liquid consistency when you put it on, but it dries pretty fast and gives your lips a nice tint that lasts a good amount of time. The best part, no reapplying. All I have to put on is my typical Chapstick to moisturize my lips while my lips keep a nice red hue. LOVE it!

124 Days...

Or 4 months & 3 days...

Wow, time finally is starting to feel like it's flying. I logged into my account for the cruise and the little bar at the top is almost halfway. Crazy to think that almost 4 months ago is when T and I decided to take this trip and now we're almost halfway! Hopefully we continue this momentum!

I am excited to say that I just booked our excursions for Rome before the cruise and the tour we are taking the day we get back. We decided to do Vatican City after the cruise. We started running low on time before and figured we could hit two birds with one stone. The excursion the day we get back takes us from the ship back to Rome and on the tour, dropping us off at the main transfer center which isn't too far from where we will be staying. This way we don't have to battle with the train that day. Not to mention you get off the boat before everyone else since this is an excursion. Woot for not having to wait!!
