February Birchbox

Hello ladies, this post has come out later than expected, but been so busy with work and college!!! well today I bring you another Birchbox, and because we are in February, Valentines day, Birchbox had a love themed box. I have to say that I don't like Valentines day so when they said that it would be the theme for tis month, I wasn't happy at all.

I do love when they give a special name, this month I got " to the incredible Marlene Botelho", I do think its a nice touch!! It does make you feel good:).

 

When I opened the box and saw the products I was actually relieved that I didn't got anything related to Valentines day.

The first product that I got was a Birchbox exclusive, and it was the T London Darjeeling Bath and Shower Wash. It soothes the skin and it is as blend of chamomile and green tea. (From £6.50).

 

Next was from The Balm Cosmetics, the Stainiac in Beauty Queen, you can use it for your lips and cheeks, I suppose it is a little bit like the Benefit tint. You can swipe onto lips like a gloss, or dot onto checks and blend. I don't normally use this type of products, but I will give it a try to see if it is any good. (RRP £10.00)

Another Birchbox exclusive, the Cynthia Rowley Beauty, there was two shades, black or silver, and  I received the silver colour. I definitely won't be using this product!!! maybe if it was in black, I'm not a big fan of silver eye shadows never mind eyeliners!!. (RRP £11.00).

I was quite pleased about this product, Liz Earle Beauty, Botanical Shine Shampoo. I love this brand, I use the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish and it is amazing!!! This shampoo is a shine boosting blend of Vitamin E, fruit extracts and shea butter. (RRP £10.00).

 

 

 

Wild about Beauty was the next product on my box, the rose water illuminating serum. I'm looking forward to try this product, it seems to be quite good. This serum is packed with reflective pearls for a youthful glow. Smooth 3 to 5 pumps over clean skin, or apply over base makeup. Does seem a little strange to apply on top of makeup, think I will just do as normal and apply before makeup. (RRP £22.00).

 

 

The last product is lifestyle and this month we received the Oats + Chia from The Chia Co. It is a creamy blend of wholegrain oats, chia, fruit and virgin coconut oil, just had water and stir. I am not a big fan of this types of oats but maybe I will give it a try, probably will use milk instead of water,  will see how it goes. (RRP £4.95) for a pack of 5.

 

 

After all this box wasn't too bad, it didn't had any valentines stuff which I was quite happy about, but I think that the problem with my boxes, is that I have received so many shampoo and shower gels, I don't think I need any more of them products, it is just becoming a little bit repetitive. I have been thinking if I should cancel for a few months or if I will see how the next boxes are.

And that is all for now, till my next post
