Okay, before I even start this post I want to apologize for being so late on reviewing my bags this month. I decided I want to start using the products and testing them for a few days before writing any type of review on here so I can give you guys a better opinion of the product.
I feel like I'm kind of talking to myself since I only have 1 follower, so please follow me if you visit my blog frequently (which I know some of you do from my views (; ) so I don't feel like such a derp. haha.
Anyways, originally I received two duplicate bags with some variation. My first bag contained a Nyx powder blush in silky rose, Cailyn Gel Eyeliner in Iron, Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter, Starlooks Lip Liner in Bare and the J Cat's Glitter Palette in Volta. My second bag contained the mosaic blush in Dare, Starlooks Lip Liner in Tickle Me Pink, Cailyn Gel Eyeliner in Purple, Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter and J Cat's Glitter Palette in Volta again.
I traded the powder blush, and one of the highlighters and gave my mother in law the mosaic blush because it will match her skin tone better than mine so there will be no pictures of those. She traded me her J Cat False lashes for my highlighter and I traded my blush for a mosaic blush in Truth, which I will be using as a bronzer.
So I ended up with two J Cat's Glitter Palettes in Volta J Cat's False Lashes in EL79, a Nyx Mosaic Blush in Truth, Cailyn Gel Eyeliners in Iron and Purple, Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter and Starlooks Lip Liners in Bare and Tickle Me Pink. I also got the bauble bar bracelet because I referred two people. :)
Here are some pictures and swatches!

Now here is the Popsugar June box. It contained Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns by Lauren Weisberger, Fit Popcorn Parmesan and Herb , Project 7 Quench the Thirsty Wintergreen Mints, Gorjana & Griffin Zuma Scarf, Addicted to Sweat Jaw Breaker Chair Dripping Wet Workout DVD, A Gorjana&Griffin $25 Gift Card, Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Repair Moisturizer and two CC Cream Samples from Juice Beauty in Warm Glow and Natural Glow (.17 oz each).
The only things I've managed to try are the Moisturizer, CC Cream, Mints, Popcorn and I checked out the scarf but it's too hot here for scarfs.
The scarf will be put away for Fall for sure, but it is beautiful and soft, I just wish I could use my gift card, oh wait I can't because it comes up as the wrong number or expired card, so I'm just chalking that up to a loss.
The mints are awesome, but I find I have to eat more than one to really get a fresh taste in my mouth.
The popcorn tasted funny, and wasn't something I would repurchase.
I use the Juice Beauty Moisturizer daily and love it so far, at first the Pledge-like smell threw me off but I got used to it fast and it's now my favorite. I'm worried that once it gets close to empty I won't be able to use the end of the container because I can't figure out to open it. (it has a pump lid so there's no germy finger dipping going on.) If anyone knows how to open it please let me know. I will probably take the plunge and buy more of this along with a wash or something with the coupon code included in the box.

I tried both the CC Cream samples and I find they leave my face feeling sticky and greasy and that is not something I like considering I already have oily skin. I will play around with these but doubtfully will repurchase.
The workout DVD might get used if I ever have the time, with a toddler running around I get plenty of exercise but I'm sure I could use a good workout to lose the extra few pounds of baby weight.
Lastly, the book. I have read reviews saying that this book has a main character who is whiney and annoying and I really don't want to read a book that will get on my nerves but I will give this book a try once I get a chance. I just finished a book so I could use one just to read in my free time/baby naptime/downtime. Ha ha.
Anyways, I enjoyed this box and am super excited for July which is the anniversary box! Fingers crossed for a good one.
