My September Birchbox

Hey Lovelies, 

I have been really busy recently and haven’t been able to post on here, but today I wanted to share with you what I received in my September Birchbox. This is the third Birchbox I have received and it is definitely my favourite one so far :)

As well as the Birchbox itself you also get a Birchbox Magazine that has short articles about various things including beauty, life and about some of the products that were in this month’s Birchboxes, which I think is a nice little extra.

Inside my Birchbox was…..

Reverence de Bastien Nail Polish in No. 13 – 12ml

This is a gorgeous shimmery red/wine colour and the sort of colour I love wearing. I think it will be perfect for autumn/winter and I can’t wait to try it.

Bioderma Sebium H20 - 20ml

I haven’t tried any Bioderma products yet, but have wanted to so I was really excited to see this in my Birchbox. This one is for combination to oily skin, which is my skin type so absolutely perfect for me. I’m really looking forward to using this and I hope it lives up to the reviews I've seen!

Eva Cosmetics Mystic Diamond – 6ml

This is a ‘nourishing argon oil with diamond powder’ and I haven’t heard of it before, but I like using these sorts of products before drying my hair, so I will give this a try.

ModelCo. Party Proof Matte Lipstick in Kitty - 3.8g

This claims to be a ‘long-lasting moisturising lipstick’ and it is in a gorgeous nude/pink colour (the photo doesn't show the true colour very well and it is a lot lighter than it looks in the photo) and I’m looking forward to trying this.

Molton Brown Ylang-Ylang Nourishing Body Lotion – 30ml

I received the Molton Brown Body Wash in the same scent in my August Birchbox and so was pleased when I saw this inside, because I think it is always nice to use a body wash and moisturiser with the same scent. This is quite a small bottle, but I think it’s the perfect size to take with you for a weekend away.

Green & Black’s White Chocolate 

I love Green & Black’s Chocolate and particularly their white chocolate, so this was a lovely little extra in this month’s Birchbox.

Overall I am really pleased with what I received this month, especially that two of the products were full size ones.

My August 'Summer Nights' Birchbox

Hello Lovelies,

Today I wanted to share with you what I received in my Birchbox this month. The August Birchbox is my second Birchbox after I bought a six month subscription in July. When it arrived just over a week ago I was excited to see what was inside.

For this Month’s Box Birchbox have teamed up with InStyle and the theme for this month is Summer Nights.

As well as the Birchbox itself you also get a Birchbox Magazine that has short articles about various things including beauty, life and about some of the products that were in this month’s Birchboxes, which I think is a nice little extra.

Inside my Birchbox was…..

Bluemandarines SkinLife Energetic Cellular Cream - 10ml

This is a facial cream that claims to brighten, refresh and protect your skin and it can be used in the morning and in the evening. I haven’t heard of this Brand before, but will try this and if it does what it says it does then I’m sure I’ll like it.

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer - 40ml

This was a product chosen by InStyle and is a 'super-moisturising pre-shampoo treatment' that 'add elasticity, manageability, bounce and shine' and also ‘strengthens, nourishes and prevents breakages’. I don't think I have tried a hair treatment that you use before shampooing before, but my hair does feels like it could really use this at the moment, so I was pleased to see this in my Birchbox.

Gerda Spillmann Hydro Pearls Moisture Lotion - 10ml

This is a smoothing make-up primer and I do like using primers especially if I need my makeup to last a bit longer, so I was pleased with this and will definitely try it.

LaQA & Co. Lip Pencil in Ring of Fire

This was another one of the products chosen by InStyle and it is moisturising lip pencil that can be used all over your lips. Being a fan of red lip products I instantly loved this colour and although I would have liked to receive a full size one this size is perfect to take out and about with you. This smells slightly minty and I'm looking forward to trying this. 

Molton Brown Ylang-Ylang Body Wash – 30ml

This is the last product that was chosen by InStyle and it is a gorgeous smelling body wash. The bottle is quite small so I am not sure how many uses I will get out of it, but I think I will keep it for if I go away for a weekend or something as it is a perfect travel size.

Inner Me Beautify Me Vitamin Complex - 14 days supply

This is a supplement for your skin, hair and nails that contains MSM, Silica, Marine Collagen and Vitamin C, which together 'are the first natural steps to healthy skin, hair and nails'. I am not sure whether I will use these or not, I will need to read about them a bit first. I did really like the packaging though, because when you pull one side of the tablets out the other side comes out too.

Birchbox Gel Mask

This was a little beauty extra this month and I think it is always nice to get little extras.

Overall I am pleased with what I received this month and although I didn’t receive any full size products I think I will have to accept that unlike with Glossybox I probably won’t receive any full size products in my Birchboxes, although I hope they will surprise me in a future box :) I also like how the products come in little drawstring bags.
