So, this month Birchbox turns 5, having started back in the USA in 2010! To celebrate Birchbox have been doing a few different things, with ones of them being the box designs. This time they were created from moodboards presented by 2 birchboxers themselves and I absolutely loveeee the balloon themed box ❤
Here’s what I got…
1.The Birchbrush – £5.99. This is this months Birchbox exclusive! It’s a cute little hand held brush which is perfect for keeping in your handbag to ensure even on the go your hair is flawless.
2. John Masters Organics Citrus Neroli Detangler – £16. Say au revoir to those annoying knots with this tangle tamer. Simply apply to wet hair and massage in! You can either leave this in or wash it out within 1-3 minutes, but personally I like to wash this out. This product has got a nice citrus smell to it and whilst I wouldn’t say it got rid of every tangle it did help smooth my hair.
3. Beauty Protector Beauty Wash – £8. This body wash has a really sweet smell to it and I really like it! It’s perfect for in-shower use to leave you feeling clean and whilst it does actually say you can use it in the bath, you’d definitely need more than a tester size to do this.
4. Bliss Lemon and Sage Body Butter – £22. Simply slather on this moisturising cream on any of your problem areas OR all over if you fancy to nourish and soften your skin. This cream has a citrus scent to it which isn’t too overpowering once applied, however for me personally if given the choice I’d stay away from a body butter that has any hint of lemon (complete personal preference).
5. Laqa & Co Cheeky Lip Pencil in Humble Brag – £17. This is a two-in-one product, whereby you can use the pencil for a pop of colour on your lips or on your cheeks for a bit of blush. I’ve only tried this so far on my lips and it is a very pretty shade, however I felt it dried out my lips a little unfortunately…
6. Benefit POREfessional License To Blot – £15.50. This product has been on my wishlist for a while now and so I was thrilled it came as a sample this month! This product battles against those pesky shiny T-Zones with it’s unique oil-blotting stick. To use simply apply on those problem areas in a blotting motion. Personally I use this before my makeup is applied and I find this gives the best results.
Overall again, I really enjoyed this months box and the sample products given. My favourite being Benefits License To Blot and my least the Laqa & Co lip pencil. I can’t wait for next months already!
