It is almost the end of August, so that means it’s time for the August Birchbox Unboxing. Just keep scrolling to see what was in my August Birchbox.
Oribe Moisturizing Cream
The first product in my August Birchbox was the Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Cream. This is a cream that can be used as a styler or a leave-in conditioner.
Merci Sanitizer
The next product in my August Birchbox was the Merci Handy Hand Sanitizer in Hello Sunshine. This is a hand sanitizer that comes in six different fragrances.
Bondi Tanning Drops
The next product in my August Birchbox was the Bondi Sands Pure Self-Tanning Drops. This is a self-tanner that can be added into your moisturizer.
Aceology Masque
The next product in my August Birchbox was the Aceology Brightening Treatment Mask. This is a peel-off mask that you leave on for 30 minutes.
Art Naturals Mask
The last product in my August Birchbox was the Art Naturals Hyaluronic Serum 3-in-1 Facial Treatment. This is a 3 step treatment/mask.

Final Thoughts on the August Birchbox Unboxing
The August Birchbox had a very good monetary value of $54.11. However, the personal value was extremely low on this one. I have received the Oribe mask previously, I am not a fan of peel-off masks, I am not a fan of abrasive exfoliators which is what step 1 of the 3-in-1 mask is, and I do not use self-tanner. The only “unique” and useable product in the box for me was the hand sanitizer but I could make a river and float down it with how much I currently have stocked up. Most people hoarded toilet paper during the pandemic, I hoarded sanitizer. Honestly, the only reason I am staying subscribed is that I signed up for the one-year commitment, which is coming close to renewal…

I love that Oribe Moisturizing Cream! I never like it when they include sample packets of products in subscription boxes– I always prefer deluxe samples (if they aren’t including a full size version) because that is the only way one can really test the product well enough to know whether it works for them (and warrants purchasing).
I agree 100%, sample packets should be extras in subscription boxes and not count towards the count you normally get. As you said, you have no way of really learning anything about a product from a sample packet.
This sounds like such an amazing subscription service, I would love to try any of these products.
Overall it is a great subscription service if you like beauty products.
You got some awesome stuff in the box. I might have to get one.
What a great way to try new products. I need to sign up for this box.
I generally do not get boxes but this one seems like it has a number of useful products. I will keep posted on the next few months.
Decent products but nothing I’d be thrilled to open unfortunately.
Thanks for sharing.. Those products sounds so great. I think I’ll love Birchbox too.
I used to get Birchbox. I just had to cut down on expenses or I would get one again. I adored the little boxes themselves.
Oh, I sadly agree with you, Cassie, about this box. It would be a no-go for me as well. I am sorry. I hope you can give away the items to someone who would use them. I hope next month will either be better or that your subscription will be over. Ipsy just let me know that they’re upping the price on the Ipsy Plus Bag to $28/month from $25. I cut down to every other month back in May. I still like what I’m getting and the discounted add-ons I’m buying so I guess I’ll pay the upcharge and hang on a little longer. It’s a dilemma though with these subbie boxes.
I actually just resubscribed to Ipsy, I am trying the Glam Bag Plus for the first time. It is actually my post for today LOL.
I am payched to read that review and see what you got!
I’ve wanted to try birchbox. I never really want to commit to entire big container of something so it’s fun yo try new samples.
I agree samples are just a way to get a first impression, but not a way to fully get the benefits or not. Birchbox sounds like they have a lot of great products though!
I haven’t had a beauty subscription box in awhile. I hear great things about Birch Box.
I love the many surprises inside a subscription box. I’ll try to subscribe when I get the budget for it.
These are products that we use a lot and are so handy! love them and need them!
Wow, the Birchbox offers great value! I would love to try the Aceology mask!
This is why I’m always worried about getting subscription boxes. You never know if it’s worth it or not. I see some pretty good products here, but I agree that the value does seem low.
I haven’t seen a Birchbox unboxing in ages! Although I would have the same feelings as you about this one, it’s still nice to see they’re still around, considering the company is an OG in this space. Fingers crossed your September box is everything you want!
The hand gel looks good. I have been buying so many different ones as been going through a lot! Good to see you Cassie hope you and hubby are doing well 😀
So many great goodies inside. I really need to get one of these myself. I love the sound of the brightening treatment mask!!
I haven’t tried Birchbox yet, but I have heard wonderful things about it. So many great products!
Nice subscription pack! I’m so curious to try the Art Naturals Hyaluronic Serum 3-in-1 Facial Treatment
Seems like you receive such pretty interesting items! I have never tried subscribing on something like this but I might consider it.
Same here! I am subscribed to their 6-month plan, thinking of unsubscribing it now😞 I wish our Uk birchbox had this sanitizer this month!
