AHAVA Mineral
Hand Cream
-
Description on info card: Loaded with Dead Sea minerals, this
fast-absorbing cream heals dry hands without a smidge of residue.
-
My
Thoughts: Ahava is a brand that is newer to me; I first tried
one of their products in my May Birchbox shipment (Ahava Deadsea
Water Mineral Body Lotion). I like Ahava's products because they
really are moisturizing without any greasy residue and they have a
nice, light fragrance.

pH-balanced to gently clear away dirt, oil, and makeup without
drying out skin.

Thoughts: This is a cleanser I've owned for awhile and really do

ZOYA
Touch Collection Nail Polish in the shade Shay
-
Description on info card: Neutral gets a sexy makeover in this
creamy, slightly metallic nude. The perfect accessory to summer's
bright fashions.
-
My
Thoughts: I am a nail polish addict so I'm always happy to
receive a nail-related anything in my Birchbox, but extra excited to
receive a Zoya nail polish! I've been intrigued by the new Touch
Collection, which are supposed to be opaque nude shades - perfect to
use as a base for sheer shades or whenever you need a polished toned
down look.

KIND
Almond & Apricot bar
-
Description on info card: Snack right with this wholesome bar --
no preservatives or hard-to-pronounce ingredients.
-
My
Thoughts: This is a bonus item included in this month's
shipment. I'm just not a snack-bar type of person so unfortunately
this just isn't something for me (or my husband). However, my
hamster loved this bar. She ate the bar from my box really quickly
and looked so happy. Then when I gave her a second one I swear she
squealed in happiness. I think I found a monthly special treat for
my hamster.
