As most beauty enthusiasts know, Birchbox has officially launched in the UK this month. As they team up with Joliebox.
Me being my usual curious self and ordered myself a box.
I must admit, I sometimes don't really work myself up to get excited about the beauty boxes.
But anyway on to the box... It came very unexpectedly as I didn't even get an email saying it was shipped.
Although saying that it was a nice surprise to come home too, after a busy day of work and babysitting.
The bright pink packaging definitely brightened my day up. Then came the excitement of holding the first ever birchbox to come to the UK. Its still the usual set up of a Jolie Box with there being 4-5 samples in the box.
So lets get into what was in the box:
Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment
This is the slightly tinted lip balm that all the beauty gurus seem to be loving when they go to America. So I was very excited to see a sample of this in my box. It has a built in SPF15 and it keeps lips soft and supple in these winter months we are enduring. Full size £15.50
KMS California Free Shape quick blow dry
This is a dual-phase mist, that detangles your hair and quickens the time it takes to dry your hair. I'm excited to use this as my hair isn't in the best condition so anything to give it a boost of some sort is a winner in my books. full size £13.50
Reverence De Bastien Unguent for nail and cuticles
This is a brand I've never came across or have any clue what this does. But on the card it says its full of vitamins and is meant to keep nails strong and healthy. Full size £15.50
WEI Royal ming firming and hydrating cream
I'm not the biggest fan of WEI products after I suffered a bad break out and red blotchy skin for a few days, after I used one of their face masks. I'm not excited by this product at all and very wary to use it. This also isn't really catered to my skin type or needs. full size £74
This month we got a lifestyle extra of a Teapigs chamomile teabag.... not my favourite type of tea, but I'm sure I will use it to try out teapigs tea. Had a look on their website and I may have to buy myself some of their Chai Tea teabags.
For a first box I am most definitely impressed with the products in there. It has a full range of products not just based on one part of beauty (skincare, make up ect). I'm looking forward to testing these products and maybe do a review on some of them.
Pictures to be added later as my camera and laptop don't seem to want to sync together tonight.
