September Birchbox

I recently became a subscriber to Birchbox and received my first box this month! I've been wanting to become a subscriber for quite a while now but I just never got round to doing until I noticed that it was the companies birthday this month! What a better time to start then during the birthday month!

FACTS! There's a few bits and bobs that you should know before subscribing but don't worry, they're all good. It's super affordable, £10 for the box and then £2.95 for postage! Its literally incredible considering that you get 5 deluxe samples of high end makeup and beauty products!

WHAT DID I GET? I got 5 sample sizes of incredible products and a 'beauty bonus' which I'm already using to death!

  1. Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Face Polish; £26. This stuff is incredible, honestly I've tried my fair share of face polishes and scrubs and none of them compare to this. I've used this 3 times so far and my skin is looking so much nicer. You massage the product into clean, damp skin and then wash it off with warm water, simple! I tend to massage it in, leave it for 5 - 10 minutes then rinse it off so that it has time to really sink in to my skin and make a difference.
  2. John Masters Organics Citrus Neroli Detangler; £16. Now if you're like me and have no idea what neroli is don't worry, I goggled it. Neroli is an essential oil distilled from the flowers of a Seville orange and is used in perfume. This product smells amazing, you really get the citrus smell coming through and the smells lingers in your hair for days. I have very thick, messy hair and I always struggle with knots and tangles and what with this and one of the other products my hair has been knot free for 4 days! I just use a tiny amount of the product and focus it mainly towards the lower have of my hair, then rinse it out after 5 minutes. I will definitely be purchasing a full size of this product so my hair can have an easy, untangled life from now on.
  3. Laqa & Co Cheeky Lip Pencil in Humble Brag; £17. This product is a Birchbox exclusive meaning if you want it you have to sunscribe! I've never had a product that can be used on lips and cheeks and to be honest with you I'm only just getting into blusher so I have yet to try it that way. BUT as a lip product it is definitely up there as one of my all time favourites. It's a much brighter pink than I would usually feel comfortable wearing but I feel it really compliments my skin tone.
  4. Beauty Protector Beauty Wash; £8. This product is also a Birchbox exclusive. This body wash literally smells like clean, like when I've used this I've just smelt and felt so clean. It lathers amazingly and makes your skin feel so soft after it's be washed off. In the little book that comes with your box it also says that you can put a dollop into your bath for extra little something but sadly I don't have a bath (cry cry) and haven't been able to try this.
  5. Benefit the POREfessional: license to blot; £15.50. This is the last sample product and the first product I have ever had from Benefit. To be honest, I'm not that impressed with it. It is supposed to mattify shine for up to 6 hours but I feel it's more like 1. I understand that this may just be down to my skin type but I was so disappointed! I will keep trying it out and hopefully find a way to use this that works with my skin type, I'll keep you updated on how that goes.
  6. BEAUTY BONUS! The Birchbrush; £5.99. This works in the same way as a tangle teaser does and I love it! I've used it everyday to keep my hair from tangling and I use it alongside the Detangler (product 2). This has been in my bag everyday so I can give my hair a little brush whilst out in the wind. I would definitely recommend to anyone to invest in a product like this because they do wonders to your hair!
I'm really happy with my 1st box and I'm so glad that I made the decision to subscribe. This is going to be a monthly sort of series whenever my box arrives and I hope you enjoy it and will enjoy the others too!
Bye, Kearra <3
