October Birchbox

Hello flowers, today I bring you a post about my October Birchbox. if you don't know what it is, it is a monthly box where you receive five samples of products, which can be makeup, skincare or even food, depending on your questionnaire answers that you do when signing up for this box.
This month Birchbox teamed up with "Coppa Feel" which brings awareness of breast cancer.
this is how my October box brought me.







This box contained two Pink Clay Face Mask, Tamme Frizz Taming Crème, Shaveworks The Cool Fix, Shea Butter Lip Balm by Pixi by Petra, Nail Lacquer by Lollipops and finally a Lipstick pen. all of this products came inside the beautiful pink makeup bag.
 
The first product are Clay face masks, I am  looking forward to try this product, with Aloe Vera to illuminate complexion and soften skin. it is sold at the price of £4,25.
 
 
 
I have to say I am not excited about this next product, the Tamme Fizz Taming Cream, which is a heat protection and adds definition managing flyways and frizz. My hair is not frizzy so I don't think I will be using this product, which is a little bit disappointing, considering that you always want to try all the products that are specially selected for you!! this product is sold at £15.00.
 
This product, Shaveworks, Cool fix, is probably the one that I really want to try and that I hope that works, everyone knows how frustrating and annoying can be shaving or waxing.
this product is a cooling gel lotion that treats ingrown hairs, razor bumps and redness after hair removal. it can be used in the morning and evening in case that you have irritation, using everyday until irritation fades. This product costs £11.00.
 
 
 

This is the Lip Balm by Pixi by Petra, just like a regular lip balm, keeps your lips moisturized, this is a full size nourishing lip balm with shea butter with a little bit of colour, this colour is the Honey Nectar. In case you want a little bit more colour just build up by layering the lip balm. Priced at £8.
 
 
This is another product that I didn't really want to get again, considering that I already received red nail polish in previous boxes, and I think that by now I have enough reds in my nail polish collection!! this one is by Lollipops and costs £7.
 
 
Finally is this pen , by Birchbox, lipstick shaped, perfect for your handbag, sold at £2.50.
 
I think that this month it wad quite a good box for a good cause, I am really looking forward to try some of the products, whilst some of them I won't be using. Hopefully I won't get more red nail polishes but generally I am quite satisfied with the box. Any products that really impressed me, I will do a review and purchase them from the Birchbox shop.
All of this products can be found at the Birchbox shop, on their website www.birchbox.co.uk/shop .
 
 
Until next post
 
Hugs and kisses
