Beauty Protector Beauty Cream - Body Lotion

Beauty Protector Beauty Cream - Body Lotion

What Birchbox Say:

We rely on Beauty Protector’s regimen to defend, de-frizz, and soften our hair - so when we heard the brand had started making body products, we couldn’t wait to see what they’d do for our skin. This rich cream nourishes our skin, leaving it hydrated, soft, and (we’re extremely happy to say) subtly perfumed with Beauty Protector’s amazing signature scent.

What I think:

I had never come across Beauty Protector before I subscribed to Birchbox and it is now becoming one of my faviourite brands to use. I was first introduced to the hair oil, which I love and have gone on to buy the full product. I then got sent the Beauty Protector Shower Gel, loved this and again went on to buy the full product. When I was sent this to sample, to be honest I didn't think it could be any better than the shower gel. The shower gel smells amazing and I love it, this body lotion is identical in the smell. 

I personally think this is better than the shower gel now as the smell lasts a lot longer on your skin. The product is smooth and silky and really makes my skin feel hydrated. So Beauty Protector, you have done it again, thins is going to be the next full sized product I buy from you. At £8 you really can't go wrong, it is a bargain.

Body Lotion

Benefit They're Real! Push - Up Liner

Benefit They're Real! Push-up Liner. 

What Birchbox Say:

Striving for that classic swoop of eyeliner, we’ve struggled through more than our share of smudgy pencils, finicky liquids, and unwieldy gels. Enter this eye-opening gel pen from Benefit, which gives us the control we crave. The pen’s innovative AccuFlex™ tip is both angled and flexible, gliding liner along the lid in a single, tug-free swipe. 

A wide guard below the tip gently shifts lashes out of the way, making it easy to get right against the lash line for an extra wide-eyed look. With colours this saturated and an applicator so foolproof, now we can easily trace the perfect line every time. And no need to worry about touchups: It quickly dries to a matte finish, and is smudge-proof, waterproof, and utterly unbudgeable. Take your pick of saturated colours, from classic black to chocolatey brown and rich jewel tones.

What I think:

I use eye-liner every day, so if there is a good product I find, regardless of the price I would get it. This sounded amazing, a gel eye-liner, which would last all day and being smudge and water proof would suit me down to the ground. 

This is the second time I have got this product in a Birchbox and although I love Benefit products, this one is not for me. I find it very hard to get the product out of the packaging and it seems that I have squeezed and squeezed it but nothing happens. This could be due to the size of the sample and that perhaps it is too small. 

When I have managed to get the product out it doesn't seem to glide across the eyelid, but seems to clot into a ball. Unfortunately this one is not for me. Priced at £18.50, I would want a much better product. I will not be buying this and to be honest I wouldn't mind if I never got it in a box again. 

I also would not recommend this product. 

Cowshed Knackered Cow Relaxing Body Lotion

Cowshed Knackered Cow Relaxing Body Lotion

What they say:

So, your alarm has gone off, you’ve made it out of bed (just!) and you’re struggling to deal with the fact that the weekend isn’t yet in sight. We feel ya! When you’re burnt out and longing for the extra hour in bed, the Cowshed Knackered Cow range will lift you out of exhaustion and into the real world thanks to its blend of calming lavender and uplifting eucalyptus. Post-shower, slather on the Knackered Cow Body Lotion to awaken your senses while the finest shea and cocoa butters work to moisturise and tone the skin.(Taken from Birchbox website.) 

What I think:

To be honest this suits me down to the ground with it's name, I cam constantly knackered after work and I have used this after showering in the evening. The slight lavender sent really has relaxed me and made me ready for bed. To be honest I think this has been the best product in my Birchbox this month. full price is £18 and you get 300ml for that, which is a decent size. Would I be buying this when mine runs out? I think I would, it is a lovely product, which makes my skin silky and smooth. I cannot wait to try out Cowshed's other products.

Percy & Reed Smoothed, Sealed & Sensational Volumising No Oil, Oil

What they say:

So, we all know the benefits of hair oil; it protects strands, injects moisture and leaves everything looking lovely right? Right! But Percy & Reed’s Smoothed, Sealed and Sensational Volumising No Oil, Oil takes things a step further. Not only does it nourish and repair tired locks with a burst of pro vitamin B5 to strengthen and protect, it also uses violet extract to keep everything sleek while adding volume! Who’d have thought it?! It also doubles up as a nifty heat protecting treatment. A true miracle worker. (Taken from the Birchbox website)

What I think:

I was intrigued by this product when it arrived as it looks like an oil but apparently isn't one. I like to make my hair smoother but I don't like the look of oil on my hair - it leaves it greasy looking and I have to wash it the following day. This is something that didn't happen with the product, I could put it in my hair when it was wet and then blow dry it. It didn't make it less frizzy but I found my hair was softer and seems stronger. 

I would say that a little goes along way, I have found if I put too much in, then it will turn my hair greasy so really make sure you read how many drops to use. 

Will I purchase this product again? Yes I think I would, its £14 so not too expensive for an oil and it does make my hair seem softer. I only wish it could have made it less frizzy too.

Stainiac

theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac in Beauty Queen

What they Say: (Birchbox)

You wouldn't know it from the state of our make-up drawer, but we’re actually beauty minimalists. Our motto: why use two products when you can get the same effect with one? This two-in-one lip and cheek stain gives us a natural, understated flush and helps us get out the door faster! The gel formula looks dark in the tube but delivers a sheer tint.

The tinted gel leaves a lasting stain on lips and cheeks. Since it’s water-based, it has a longer setting time than most quick-dry stains, which means it won’t leave any unsightly streaks behind as long as you take care to blend well. Use a single coat for a subtle look or layer it on for a more visible (yet still discreet) hue.

What I think:

To begin with I was a little worried when I received this in my Birchbox, I thought the colour was too bright just by looking at it and I didn't think it would last very long at all. I was wrong on all accounts. When applying it to the lips I found it to be a gel consistency, which took a little longer to dry than more water based tints. I thought this was a good thing as it gave you time to smudge the colour if you wanted to. The only negative I have about this product is the fact my lips felt very dry after using and I would then use a lip balm over the top to moisturise them. 

This product apparently can be used on your cheeks too, so it doubles up as a 2 in 1 which is great, I haven't actually used this on my cheeks yet. It lasts quite a long time, however you would need to carry it around with you to reapply throughout the day, but it is much more lasting than a lip stick. 

Would I buy this again? After trying the product for quite a while now any early on worries I had about it have vanished and I actually really like the brand. This is £10 full size to buy and I think as it is so long lasting this is a good price, I will be purchasing it again in the future.

Vita Coco Coconut Oil

Vita Coco Coconut Oil

What they say:

Here at Birchbox HQ we’ve bee longtime fans of the Vita Coco Coconut Water so when we heard the lovely peeps over there had launched a Coconut Oil we knew we’d love it! Formulated using coconuts from the same groves as their coconut water, it’s a multipurpose wonder with an array of a-mazing uses! Plus, it boasts a unique composition of fatty acids meaning it’s a good-for-you fat! Try it when you’re baking or frying (it’s a great alternative to butter!), add it to smoothies for a nutrient boost, use it as a face moisturiser, or as a rich hair treatment – the possibilities are endless!

My Review:

I had head about Coconut Oil and the benefits of using it for some time before this arrived in my Birchbox, I already had purchased some so was glad of the extra I had been sent. I use the coconut oil as a moisturiser for my skin rather than using it for cooking. I have tried it for cooking before and it is O.K but I prefer to use it directly on my skin. 

This product is a little strange, when it gets warm it turns to a liquid, but as soon as the temperature drops it will turn back into a solid. I have used it in both forms and it makes no difference how it is. I have rubbed the oil onto dry skin and it has really helped the area that was dry. It is becoming one of my favourite things to use on my skin. I have not used it on my hair yet, but this is something that I will be trying out. 

Would I buy it again?

Yes, so far I have seen the benefits of this product and I like what I see, it is £9.99 for 500ml which I don't think is expensive, you would pay that for a good face cream or moisturiser. I have also been using this on my husband, he suffers from dry skin and it has really helped him. It is a product that just has so many uses. I am very pleased with the product.

TanOrganic Self Tanning Oil

TanOrganic Self Tanning Oil

They Say:

We admit it, when we heard that TanOrganic had created a moisturising dry oil that also added a subtle tan to the skin we were skeptical. After all, we’re used to steering clear of body oils after getting our tan on for fear of the dreaded streaks! But, after just one use, we were sold! The world’s first self-tanning oil contains 8 different plant oils (including luxurious Argan oil) and boasts a subtle citrus fragrance, working to smooth and moisturise your skin while adding a sun-kissed glow within 6 to 8 hours. Perfect.

My Review:

I had been on holiday in March and managed to get a wonderful tan, the unfortunate thing about going on holiday at Easter is that when you return home, normally the weather is not great and it takes a while to become as warm as it was when you were away. 

On my return I remembered I had a sample of this to try, which arrived in my Birchbox. I decided to give it a go. After a shower one night I popped this product onto my skin. On application it is like an oil and it is transparent, this does make it a little tricky to identify where you have already put it. It also seems to go a long way, my sample size to be honest I wasn't that impressed with but you only need about a pea sized amount to coat 1 arm. Once I put it on my body I went and washed my hands as I was instructed to do so. 

When I woke up in the morning I was able to see the results and I was impressed. It was not streaky and I didn't look like I was orange. I really like the effect I got from using this product and since then I have recommended it to others, after seeing the results on me, they are also just as impressed and asked me where I got it from. 

There is only one negative I have with this product and that is that it smells like a tanning lotion. I wish it had smelt a bit nicer, I could actually smell the product the next day and was a little paranoid that other people could smell it too. In future, when I apply it I am going to go over with a moisturiser to try and mask the smell. 

Would I buy this again?

Most self tans I have bought in the past have been under the £10 mark, this particular product is £24.99 which I do think is quite expensive, however it does leave such a natural look and one that brings you compliments! I think this is going to be a product I would buy for in between times, such as going on holiday in Easter and waiting for the weather to get warm enough for you to develop your own tan. So I think I would purchase it maybe once a year for these occasions.

Embrace Matcha Green Tea

Embrace Matcha Green Tea

What Birchbox say:

Packed with antioxidants and nutrients (up to 10 times more than a regular cup of green tea!) matcha is a superfood that packs a punch. 100% natural and incredibly versatile, this classic green tea variety is a smooth, satisfying blend with a clean and crisp finish. With 30 servings included, you can experiment with enjoyin it hot or cold, as a latte or blended into smoothies and juices.

My Review:

I love green tea and regularly drink it, when I received this in my birchbox this month I was really happy and very excited to try it. This tea is a fine powder and there is enough for one cup in the sachet. What I love about this is that you can add it to other things not just hot water. 

I decided to try this one morning before I went to work. On pouring the hot water on it, the smell was a little 'pondy' I thought and I was not that keen on the smell at all. I did however give it a go and I must admit that it tastes exactly the same as normal green tea. 

What I was really interested about in this tea is the fact it boasts you get 10 times the benefit of a normal green tea bag - from going through Chemo this is exactly what I need in order to improve my immune system and generally improving health. My only negative with this sample in my birchbox is that I feel I cannot really make a true judgement with only one sample. I feel I would need at least 3 in order to see any of the benefits of it. At £24.99 for 30 samples I feel this is too expensive for me to take the risk on this product as it only 'might' work for me. Which is a big shame as I think this maybe a great product, but I cannot afford to take the risk at the moment. 

Unfortunately I did contact birchbox explaining I would need to try a couple more to see the benefits but they were unable to help me out and send me anymore. 

Would I purchase again?

At this moment in time no, I cannot afford to purchase this if it doesn't give me any benefits and so far from my one sample I haven't seen any benefits. Perhaps in the future when I have some spare cash as this will currently been seen as a luxury item at this price.

High Beam Benefit

High Beam 

What Birchbox say:
We don’t know about you, but if we had three beauty wishes, we’d go for killer cheekbones, glowing skin, and great lighting wherever we went. Since our resident genie seems to have gone missing, we rely on wonderous products instead. A perpetual award winner, Benefit’s High Beam subtly highlights and enhances your features — a necessity when you want to draw a little extra attention. The liquid illuminator comes in a soft pink hue that flatters all skin tones, softly reflects light for an instant spotlight effect, plus it gives skin a dewy finish.

My Review:
I have used this product before, the fact it was in my December Birchbox was a bonus. The last High Beam I had was also a sample size, I have not purchased it since. That mainly is because it doesn't fit my needs. I have had another go at using this product since it has been in my box but again it's not for me. I find it to leave my face very shiny in places and that's not the look I am going for. 

Would I buy it again?
No, it doesn't fit my needs. I personally wouldn't recommend this product but that it only down to the feel and the final look on myself. Many others may like this and I am sure they do. The full size of this product is £19.50 and I personally think this is too expensive.

Eyeko Fat Eye Stick Trio

Eyeko Fat Eye Stick Trio

What Birchbox say:

We can’t help but think of our beloved childhood crayons when we use these creamy eye sticks. And, truth be told, the oversized liners are so easy to use that even a little one could master them. These limited edition shades are only available at Birchbox. Each crayon in this trio pairs dense, vibrant pigments with a retractable twist-up applicator. You can glide them on as a thick liner, or smudge them to create a shadow (they go on opaque but blend easily for a sheer look). We love how they make getting a smoky eye as easy as a finger-painting project. This set of rich, ultra-wearable shades includes: Gilt, a universally flattering metallic, Smoke, a charcoal-tinged shade that’s perfect for a smoky eye, and Satin, a luxe, shimmering taupe.

My Review:
I was really impressed with this product. Before it arrive I was hoping I would get the 'smokey' in my box from Birchbox this month. I was over the moon when this was the product I received. This goes on really smooth and is really durable. I was a little worried that the product would crease on the eyes after a while but it didn't, which I was impressed about. 

I really love that the end of the pencil you can twist, which will reveal more eyeliner. This is a product that so far has had a firm place in my make up bag. 

Will I be buying this product again?
Yes, I am really impressed with this and it completely fits my needs. What makes it more exciting is that it comes in a pack of 3, and at £16 this I feel is really good value. I have had loads of compliments about my eye make up and it continues to come back to this product.

Models Own Velvet Goth

Models Own Velvet Goth

What Birchbox say:

A cheeky mani can inject a little personality into any look and this unique velvet formula is no exception! Packed with glitter, but matte in finish (intrigued, much?!) the multi-faceted formula has us dreaming of nights spent beneath the disco ball. Plus, if a glossy look is more your thing, just add a top coat for instant shine and sparkle!

My Review:

I was super happy when I opened my Birchbox in December to find that I had been sent the Goth colour, I love nail varnishes and although I have heaps of them, I do not own a red one. That and it being on the lead up to Christmas, this was just perfect and has been the colour I have been wearing over the holiday season. 

After reading that this dries matte, I must admit I was a little unsure of the overall effect. I do have a slight negative about this product, that is, it is quite gloppy and sticky. I found it was quite hard to get an even covering with this product as it was so thick. 

After two coats of this polish, it did dry matte and it took a while for me to get used to the effect but after a couple of hours I loved it! I also had so many comments asking where I got the colour from. It was hard wearing too which is an added bonus. 

Will I be buying this product again?:

Yes, Yes, Yes! I don't think the product is going to last too long due to it being so thick, the full size product, (which I received in my box) is only £5 and for that price I will happily put up with the thickness of it. Models Own also do this type of product in other colours, which include the matte glitter. I think I may purchase some of the others too. 

English Laundry Perfume

English Laundry Perfume

What Birchbox say: 

English Laundry tap into the very essence of an English country garden with this beautifully fresh fragrance. Envelop yourself in top notes of rose geranium and creamy white flowers set against its backdrop of woody spicy and musky notes. 50ml. 

My review: 

This came in a lovely travel size with a spray pump. I prefer spray pumps to the ones you dab on your wrists as I feel you get a much better overall coverage. The packaging was lovely and came in a shade of pink. After a few pumps of the spray it finally came out. 

Initially you get a floral tone come through, their  is also quite a lost of muck in this product. Personally I do not like to wear musk. I have pets in the house and its known that dogs especially don't like musk and can turn on you - this is coming from experience with a family member who was wearing musk. 

Due to my experience I now don  have musk in the house and for that reason I would not wear this perfume. I did try it when it arrive  as I didn't know it was based with musk, I can say th  product is long lasting and I did get asked what the sent was that I was wearing. 

I wouldn't be buying this product down to a personal preference with the sent, saying that I had compliments and think the smell is pleasant. 

This product is very expensive at £60. 

KMS California Hair Play Dry Wax

KMS California Hair Play Dry Wax

From Birchbox website:

Looking like you’ve not tried too hard sometimes takes time – but this revolutionary new dry wax spray (yes, spray!) from KMS® California helps you achieve a “perfectly undone” look with tousled definition and a matte finish. The unique formula builds body and texture, giving a super cool piece-y texture. You’ll feel (and look!) naturally gorgeous. 150ml.

Review:

When this arrived in my Birchbox I was really excited. Recently I have had to have my hair cut really short; I have struggled with styling my hair as I have always had long hair and unsure what to do with it. 

This product really came at a great time for me. This product is perfect for short hair! This allows me to add texture and style my hair, without putting a lot of wax or mouse in it. Which in the past has left my hair greasy looking or made it rock solid and completely unnatural. 

This is really easy to use, a few sprays and your hair is transformed. What I love about this product is that although you are putting a product in your hair. It does not leave your hair sticky, greasy or hard. 

So would I purchase this when the sample runs out?

I have only used this product a couple of times so far, but what I have seen I like. If I continue to get these types of results with this product, I will certainly be purchasing this. 

It is a little expensive at £15.50, however I have yet to find a product this similar on the high street. I think this product is worth the money. 

Balance Me Cleanse and Smooth Face Balm

Balance Me Cleanse and Smooth Face Balm

From Birchbox website:

Cleansing your face feels like one of life's little luxuries when you use this divine face balm. The wondrously soft formula includes tiny grains of polishing oatmeal to gently slough away dead skin cells while shea and cocoa butter, softening rosehip, camellia, kuku'i nut and virgin coconut oils, rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins and lipids, provide a layer of skin-boosting goodness. Perfect for removing daily grime and make-up, it also includes the brand's favoured anti-oxidant – rich Arctic cloudberry – gentle Roman chamomile and skin-brightening red mandarin. Great for all ages and all skin types, even normal to dry/sensitive skin. 125ml.

Review:

I had never heard of this product before it arrived in my birchbox this month. I could not wait to try it. As for a sample, this is a good size it can be easily transported on trips away in your hand luggage and fit in your make up bag. 

This product smells divine! I was so surprised with the smell as I could not believe a product could smell that good! Once applied onto the face, the product feels like it is tinging on the skin; something that I really loved.

When applied it does feel quite greasy, I was worried that it was going to leave my skin greasy once removed. I should not have been as I was left with wonderful smooth and silky skin. 

So would I purchase this when the sample runs out?

So far this is by far my favourite product I have been sent in my Birchbox and I would seriously consider purchasing this when my sample runs out. I have been very impressed with this product! 

This is £20 for a full size tube and that seems quite a bit, however I feel if I am using the product correctly I will really notice my skin improve with this. 

Benefit It's Potent! Eye Cream

Benefit It's Potent! Eye cream

From Birchbox website:

Thanks to this powerful cream, even stressed-out workaholics can cheat eight hours of sleep. The thick caramel-coloured refreshment works to preserve the elasticity of the delicate under eye area while protecting skin from free radicals. A team of actives, including cocoa extract, boosts microcirculation to help fade the look of dark circles. With apple extract to up the collagen count and loquat extract to fight free radicals, you’re covered.

Review:

I was a little disappointed with the size of this sample. The packaging was gorgeous, but the pot was seriously on the small side, (I could barely fit my finger in it). The cream itself is lovely, it really feels luxurious and smooth. When applying it to my eyes it felt silky smooth and didn't dry tacky or sticky. 

As for the result, I don't think I have used it long enough yet in order to see any benefits, I will continue and finish the sample size. 

 So will I purchase the product when the sample runs out?

I am a little unsure on this one at the moment, I think it is because I haven't used it long enough yet to see any difference. I am a big fan of the way it feels on the skin, so if it continues to feel this way, I may well be making this a permanent fixture in my make up bag. 

If you are impressed with this product or wish to try it, you can purchase it from the Birchbox website for £25.50

Beauty Blender + Beauty Cleanser Solid

Beauty Blender + Beauty Cleanser Solid

From Birchbox website:

Eggs are nutritionally good for you for a lot of reasons and this egg-shaped beauty tool is good for your make-up, too! The beautyblender® make-up sponge was created without edges in order to eliminate visible lines and streaks. Use the sides of the sponge to seamlessly apply foundation and blush all over the face, while the pointed tip is great for applying base into small spaces and onto blemishes. This little egg-shaped miracle will leave your make-up base looking flawless. And the solid blendercleanser® soap will leave IT looking flawless! 90ml.

Review:

I was so excited when I opened September's Birchbox and saw I received this little product. I had heard brilliant things about it and could not wait to try it. At £26 this certainly made my Birchbox this month value for money and anything else was a bonus! 

So I quickly decided to give this little product a try. I love that it comes with a little soap for you to be able to clean your little beauty. The shape of this allows you to blend your make up in places that are tricky to get to. 

Ok, so down to the product itself. When I began to 'blend' my make up with this, it did work, but unfortunately it does actually feel like it is removing your make up rather than blending it. This annoyed me slightly as make up is so expensive that you do not want a product that you feel it wasting it. At £26 I also find this to be expensive for what it actually is, at the end of the day it is just a clever sponge, recently I have been into Wilkinson and found a very similar product, cleverly shaped but minus the soap at a mere £3. 

So would I purchase this again?

This is a very easy question for me and that is no, I have found similar products for less than half the price. I am very pleased I had the opportunity to try this, this month but I will stick to imitation products. 

If you do love the beauty blender and wish to purchase one, you can do at the Birchbox website at a cost of £26.

Agave Healing Oil Treatment

Agave Healing Oil Treatment 

From Birchbox website

Mexico’s blue agave is best known as the source of tequila, but we’re also intoxicated by its ability to moisturise and strengthen hair. Agave extract is a key ingredient in this healing oil treatment created by Beverly Hills hairdresser Fernando Romero (Romero, an Acapulco native, calls agave “nature’s smoothing secret.”). The lightweight oil helps hair build resiliency as it boosts vibrancy, shine and colour. And it’s free of the stuff that’s not so good for your locks: parabens, sulphates and phthalates. We’ll raise a glass to that! 120ml.

Review:

I got a sample of this is in a tube shaped bottle (like those mini perfume viles you can get) I used this as instructed on the packaging, which was to rub a small amount into the hair when it is towel dried. 

I only used a tiny bit and it felt non greasy which was great! When I had long hair, whenever I would go to the hairdressers they would always put this on my hair. My hair is now short and to be honest I didn't really see any difference. This could be because my hair is short and that longer hair benefits from this more.  

So would I purchase this when the sample runs out?

I think I would purchase this if I had longer hair as it does seem to strengthen your hair, something which I would need if it was longer to try to protect split ends. 

This is available to buy direct from the Birchbox website at £27. 

Modelco Lip Lacquer

Modelco Lip Lacquer

From Birchbox website:
ModelCo's long-wearing, highly pigmented formula delivers a luxe glossy pout. The dense, high-colour gloss glides on smoothly for a non-sticky, long-lasting finish that gives hydrating all-day moisture. Bonus: the skinny packaging is totally tote-able! 3ml.

Review:
This product was in my birchbox this month and I love a lip gloss. I am quite impressed with this one as the colour is great and it seems to last a long time when on. 

Although is is only sample size it is really handy to keep in your bag. Great for travelling or just to touch up on the way to work. 

It is very smooth to apply and is not sticky, which is great! I  hate sticky lip glosses, which then your hair sticks to when its windy! 

So would I purchase this when this sample runs out? 

To be honest I am not sure, although I do love lip glosses, I rarely wear them. This is because I have little time to constantly re apply. I will wear a lip gloss on night outs though. 

This is available to purchase from Birchbox direct at £15; you get free shipping when purchasing items over £30.

Birchbox Subscription

This month I decided that I was going to subscribe to Birchbox, I have been looking at it for a while now and other similar subscriptions such as Glossybox. I decided that Glossybox didn't really fit with that I wanted so opted for Birchbox. That doesn't mean, however that I won't give Glossybox a go in the future maybe...

So anyway what is Birchbox?

Birchbox is a beauty subscription service which sends you a selection of products every month for you to try. These are selected personally on response to a survey you fill in. 

As this was the first time I have subscribed I was a little unsure what to expect. When looking on the website I was unsure what size the products where going to be, I was a little disappointed to discover all items were only sample size. 

I do love the little bag that it comes in and the box is great! It also comes with a small leaflet what contains information about the products that are in your box.

The subscription is £10 a month plus p and p, for the first month it was only £7.50 for the box and postage. 

So this is what I go this September. 

This September box is called Happy Days and in the box I got:

Benefit It's Potent! Eye Cream

beautyblender® beautyblender® + blendercleanser® solid

Agave Healing Oil Treatment (120ml)

Premae Mild Pro Dermabrasion

Urban Fruit Magnificent Mango, Perfect Pineapple & Smashing Strawberry (Pack of 6)

ModelCo® Lip Lacquer Viva

Birchbox Happy Days Photo Clip

Make sure you check back on the blog, where I will be reviewing each item from the September box. 

Let me know if you have ever subscribed to Birchbox and what you think of it.
