It's been a while since I've had a subscription beauty box and while I know I don't need any more products I have missed having a monthly box arrive through the post each month.
I decided to go with Birtchbox. The reason for this was I like the idea if of the drawer box. I'm not sure what I will actually use it for anything but the idea is great.
My box looks quite jam-packed but I think because it's my first box I've got an extra welcome gift which makes it look a lot more inviting.
Afterspa Face Cloth
This is one of those magic cloths for removing makeup without products. I never used one of these before but I have seen them in blogs and vlogs and this one is tiny. It looks a little like a panty liner.
It's very soft and it does say it has to be machined wash before use. Mine is currently in the washing basket so I can't say if it works or not but I can say it's very soft and I hope it works as I'm planning on taking it on holiday. I will also take some face wash but it will good to have at the end of the day.
Cath Kidston Hand Cream
This smells amazing, it's a lovely thick and rich cream and will be a nice addition to my hand cream collection (I own so many hand creams)
Cargo Blush
Models Co Highlighter
Each month you get to pick from a couple of products. This month we could pick between two shades of Models co Highlighter. I went for Frosé and it's such a beautiful colour. When I swatched this it came off very pink. The booklet does say it's very delicate and my packaging is slightly damaged on the hinge but I think they were more meaning the powder itself.
I haven't had a brow product for quite a while and I think I've only used the Maybeline version with any success.
I like how small the brush is and I hope this will be a good colour for me. The shade on the tube is Brunette so I have high hopes.
I love the promises this product makes. You put it in towel dried hair and it's meant to help protect it. It sounds like it will be ideal for holidays and I'm hoping there is enough in this to cover a full two weeks away.
Again this was part of the initial box offer. I've heard a lot about spectrum brushes but I don't own any.
The bristles are very soft and I'm excited to start using this brush.
Overall I'm really happy with this box. I feel like I've made a good choice subscribing to this box.
I paid just under £80 for a 6 months subscription including P&P which isn't bad, I like that you know one of the products beforehand and get a choice of shades. What I forgot to mention is as well as the shade option you can select "Suprise Me".
Next month there is a choice between two matt liquid lipsticks. A pink and a red. from the images I've looked at I can't say I loved either so I went with suprise me. I think I would get more wear from the pink but at the same time I probably won't wear either very often.
