October Birchbox

My October Birchbox - £12.95 




So this month I decided to resubscribe to Birchbox. I won a subscription when Birchbox first came about and decided after my 5 free boxes not to stay subscribed. I did enjoy receiving the box but decided it wasn't something I wanted to spend £12.95 a month on however this months box looked amazing and so I just had to subscribe. This is what I got in my box
KMS Curl up 
Laura Mercier Tinted moisturiser.
Dr Lipp Nipple cream for lips 
The Balm Stainiac 
Skinlife Cellular cream 
Eqyptian Magic 
Eye mask 

Thats some fabulous brands I love Laura Mercier, KMS and The balm so it was amazing to see some really good brands in this months box. I've stayed subscribed for the november box and i'm really looking forward to receiving it. I haven't really used any of the products from the october box but I will review them once I do.

Do you like seeing the contents of Birchboxes / Glossyboxes etc? 

March Birchbox


















Birchbox  costs £10 a month (+£2.95 p+p) *

Heres a little look at what I got in this months Birchbox, for those of you know read regularly will know I won a three month subscription so I haven't actually paid for this box. This is my final box. 

Laura Geller – Inkwell Waterproof Gel Liner – Full size price: £24.50 

I'm quite excited to try this out as I haven't used a Gel Liner before. I have seen them but it's something thats never really appealed to me before. I like the Laura Geller brand and hadn't heard of it until recently - They were at the QVC beauty bash and sell products on QVC. They actually sell a Duo for £24.25 if your interested in buying this. I was really impressed that its black aswell because normally you get sent random colours. 

 Molton Brown – Valbonne Fragrance Full size: £65 (50ml)

I'm not a fan of fragrance samples because I don't ever like them and I just don't use them ! This isn't nice - its not something i'd purchase 

RMK – Cleansing Balm Full Size: £29 for 100g

I love cleansing balms so was really excited about this product - abit gutted that its smells like rose but I will definatly be using this and will let you know how I get on - I think the sample is a very decent size too! 

La Sultane De Sabba – Body Lotion with Argan Oil Full Size: 26.50

This smells lush ! It's a nice size and I'm not normally a fan of lotions or bath products in sample boxes because I seem to build up a collection of samples that I just don't use but this smells really nice and I will be using this. 

Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream Full Size: £19.50 2.75oz (around 78g)

I'm excited to try this out ! I haven't used any products from the Yu-Be range. I think this looks good but i'm abit gutted with the tiny sample 

Sanctuary – 30 Day Thermal Transformation Mask Full Size: £27.50

I've tried this before and really liked using it ! I'm really gutted because in the Birchbox you got this or a beauty blender and I would have prefered a beauty blender :( but oh well I suppose thats the thing about beauty boxes 

Lindt – Heart tin filled with Chocolate Truffles Full Size: £2.99 

AHHH ! I've given up chocolate for lent so when I got this I was like NOOO but I haven't eaten them and they will be a lovely treat for when I can eat chocolate again. 


Overall I think this is a good box ! Theres a good range of products and sizes ! I'm gutted that I didn't get the beauty blender. I like this box and I've been happy with the products i've received from birchbox. theres been a few products in each box that i've liked :) 

I think these sample boxes are great to get to know new brands and try products you don't want to fork out for and then not like them! I think they can be abit hit and miss with products. you can always wait for spoliers and then order a box depending on whats in it ! 


What's in My Birchbox ?

 Birchbox february 2013 













This is my 2nd Birchbox, I won a three month subscription from shesaidbeauty.com :)

This months box includes :

Nick Chavez - Plump N Thick Leave in Thickening Mist // I wasn't very impressed with this item as I received KMS Add Volume in last months box and they are basically the same.

Korres Guava Shower Gel - I don't really like shower gel's in sample boxes but I was quite excited as I haven't tried any Korres products before and its Guava :) Normally you get rose products and i'm not a fan of rose.

Vichy Thermal Spa Water - Really excited to try this out. I've seen some similar products to this before and really couldn't justify the money but now I get to try it out in this box to see if i'm a fan or not !

Gerda Spillman Cream Foundation. - very excited to try this out but the shades a little too dark.

E-boost Natural energy booster - I won't try this

Birchbox Eyelash curler - I don't use eyelash curlers and wouldn't really class this as a sample


All of the beauty samples are great sizes and i've been very impressed with the sizes of the samples i've received from Birchbox so far !
