I absolutely loved this month’s Birchbox especially the box design, it is so pretty! This month Birchbox collaborated with French Sole to bring us these beautifully designed boxes and we were faced with a decision to make on which one we wanted. Here are some photos of the one I chose:
In this months box there were 7 items in total –
- COWSHED blissful body lotion – Out of all the products this month this was my favourite. I had heard of this brand before but never tried any of their products so it was a nice surprise to receive this one. This lotion smells amazing! It reminded me of sweets at first but once you rub it in the essential oil scents emerge of Ylang Ylang, Moroccan rose and lavender. The texture of the lotion is really lovely it absorbs into the skin quickly and doesn’t leave a greasy or sticky residue.
- Cynthia Rowley lip stain – I love the design of the tube it’s really cool but that’s all I liked about this one. The texture of this product is quite odd for a lip stain as it’s quite thick and I find that the colour doesn’t last as long as some lip stains I have tried. It isn’t an awful product just needs a few tweaks!
- Penhaligon’s Iris Prima Eau de Parfum – This fragrance was inspired by a night at the English national ballet. I think this one is a love or hate kind of perfume and I do like this one. It has quite a deep floral scent and is also musky, it isn’t as feminine as I expected it to be I feel like a certain scent in this perfume overpowers the others perhaps it’s the sandalwood. I think it works well as an evening fragrance though.
- HIP ultra shine shampoo – I do love the peppermint and eucalyptus scent of this shampoo it’s really lovely and fresh and leaves your hair feeling squeaky clean. However I didn’t find that it made my hair look any brighter than usual and this was what the product promises. Overall I would use the shampoo again anyway as I loved the scent and how it makes your hair feel.
- STYLONDON metallic tattoos – These look so pretty, I haven’t had a chance to use these yet but I am very excited to as I have seen them around on Instagram and they look really cool. These are a great alternative to a permanent tattoo as you can wear them once and try another pattern next time, no commitments necessary!
- Premae Mild Pro Dermabrasion – I love this scrub it’s really creamy and it contains olive granules which smooth the skin and leave it feeling really soft too. This is a great product to use a couple of times a week! You can use it as a body or face scrub, I have been using it on my face as it’s nice and gentle. This scrub is not too abrasive like some face scrubs out there.
- French sole shoe bag – I love that we got to choose the design of our box and shoe bag that we received this month so obviously I was very happy with mine, if I’m being picky it could have been a tad larger but other than that I have no negative things to say about this one it’s great!
