So I read on someone else's blog something called BirchBox which is a monthly subscription and you get beauty gifts sent to you each month. I used to subscribe to one called Glossybox but didn't feel as though the products were worth it so I switched. I finally got my box in the post today and loved the products I got!
I love the little box I received. The packaging is so cute and it comes with a little fabric bag inside the box containing all the products. I actually got a whopping 50% discount off so my first box came ot only £6 which is a steal!
You also get a little booklet inside telling you about each of the products and also any competitions and also discount codes for referral.
The first product I received was a full sized Tapered Powder Brush by Spectrum collection. (RRP £7.99). This vibrant hand-finished brush makes light work of powder application (whether that's setting powder, shimmery highlighters or your fave bronzer) thanks to the precisely-shaped tip and super-soft tapered bristles. Oh, and it's absolutely gorgeous! Dust the brush across your chosen powder then apply to your face where needed - the small head means you can super precise!
The second product is One and Done Shadow Stick in Perfect Cents by LOC (RRP £8). STOP PRESS! What you are about to experience is Birchbox's in-house make-up brand that I am SO excited to share with you. So what can you expect? Up to 11 hours of creaseless, waterproof colour in one handy stick, that's what. This nifty formula has been created by Birchbox's in-house product development team to eliminate the need for multiple brushes, blenders and primers and deliver effortless on-trend colour in one easy swipe. Apply all over your lids and blend with your fingertips for a soft, smokey look - or use as a bold liner.
Product number three is Lumiere d'Hiver Super Comb Prep & Protect by Number 4 (RRP £20). Treat your hair to a little TLC with this does-it-all wonder product. Not only does it strengthen and repair tired strands but it de-tangles and tames flyaways too - and all without sulphates or parabens! That's what I call a win-win. Spray evenly through towel-dried hair, comb through and style as normal.
Number 4 is Nature's Remedy Balm by Pommade Divine (RRP £19.80). Made with up to 97% natural ingredients, this multi-purpose balm has already caused quite a stir in the beauty industry (and for good reason!) it repairs and nourishes troublesome areas in a flash to leave skin calm and comfortable. Apply liberally to any problem spots (lips, scrapes, elbows - wherever!) and reapply as needed.
The fifth product is Fleur de Vigne Shower Gel by Caudalie (RRP £9). Formulated for even the most sensitive of skin types, this delicate body wash is enriched with calming aloe vera and fragranced with uplifting white rose, rose pepper and grape blossom for a relaxing shower. Lather onto damp skin then rinse away.
Last but not least we have Notting Hill Femme Eau de Parfum by English Laundry (RRP £46). A brighter more feminie take on their classic men's fragrance, this fresh scent blends fruity notes of mandarin and cassis with hints of warm wood and vanilla. Bliss! Spritz it onto your wrists, behind the ears and along the collarbone for all-day fragrance.
