Birchbox

I am a typical girl.   I love make up and beauty products.  

I came across Birchbox via a youtube blog video by a friend of mine (Youtube: sauce_pot) and thought I would love to try this out.

Birchbox seemed to offer a wide variety of beauty products all related to you and what products you like via a initial questionnaire you fill in when you join.  Also the fact that the subscription is only £12 a month seemed so reasonable for the amount of products you receive.

The actually box itself that you receive is also very cool with a different theme every month and a lovely little Birchbag inside with your products, information leaflet and booklet .

I started to receive my subscription in April. I have April and Mays box to review and show you some of the amazing products I received! I am so in love with Birchbox! :D

APRIL

April’s Birchbox was the 'Royally GOOD' box to celebrate the arrival of the royal baby. I received the Pink Box and inside I received:

1. My free gift : Laura Mercier Mascara £17.50
2. Lola Barcelona Nail Polish in Born £7.50
3. Number 4 Lumiere d’Hiver Super Comb Prep and protect £20
4. Lix Earle Beauty Co Cleanse and Polish + Muslin Cloth £14
5. Korres Citrus Shower gel £8
6. Teapigs samples Darjeeling Earl Grey, Mao Feng Tea and Everyday Brew (lifestyle Bonus)

So far I have tried the Laura Mercier Mascara, which is fabulous. The brush is full and makes you lashes long and exaggerated.  The Korres Shower gel smells amazing and gives a luscious lather and I’ve had teapigs before so these free samples have been used! The Green Tea is my fav! 

In conclusion I was very impressed with my first Birchbox! The booklet was informative with beauty tips.



MAY

May Birchbox was the ‘Free Your Mind’ theme.  This box stood out as you could tell it was following the fab new fad of colouring and inside the box low and behold there was a set of colouring pencils to colour the box! An amazing idea! 

Again this box had a fab little tutorial booklet and the little Birchbag with May’s beauty selection which included:

1. Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Tinted Moisturiser £27
2. Wah London Nail Art Pen £7
3. Parlor by Jeff Chastain Moisturising Sea Salt Spray £17
4. Whish Three Wishes Body Butter in Almond £14.50
5. Jelly Pong Pong Caribbean Sun bronzer Duo in Martinique £15.95
6. Number 4 Lumiere d’Hiver Reconstructing Masque £36
7. Colouring Pencils (little extra)

So far I have tried the Parlor Sea Salt Spray which is amazing esp. with my curly hair. I totally love the Whish Body Butter , it smells amazing and is so soft and silky. The Jelly Pong Pong Caribbean Sun Bronzer Duo is great, lovely colour and lasts really well.

A fab Birchbox and I am so looking forward to my June Birchbox 

Thanks for reading
