It’s always an exciting time of the month when my monthly
Birchbox arrives in the post. I love the different collaborations they have
with designers, charities and also the themes of the boxes each month. This
month’s Birchbox is a collaboration with designer brand, Cath Kidston. I’ve
always been a big fan of Cath Kidston products, I mean who doesn’t love a
floral print? My favourite Cath Kidston product I own definitely has to be my
weekend bag (similar here) as whenever I go away for a night or two nights it’s
the perfect size to just fit everything in! But yes, onto this month’s box…
I didn’t realise until I’d received this month’s box that I
think I’m missing a product (the Lumene Nordic C Overnight Bright Sleeping
Cream) but I received all the other products which are from brands including
Marcelle, Beautaniq, Modelco and of course Cath Kidston!
Modelco is a brand which I’ve tried numerous times in beauty
boxes but I haven’t actually seen the brand on the high-street, or know where
it is available! Modelco is an Australian brand and they’re known for their
great budget friendly prices. I was so excited to see a baked highlighter in
this month’s box as they really excite me (lame I know!) This shade is a
stunning rosy pink but it appears quite natural on the skin, the only
disappointing thing about this product is the sizing, I think it could have
been a little bit bigger as it’s too small for me!
If you know me well, you’ll know I love my eyebrows. I think
the maintenance of eyebrows is so important and at the moment I’m actually
growing mine out as the last lady which threaded my eyebrows did them a little
too thin! When I am feeling too lazy to do my make-up or just do my make-up in
a rush I rely on gels like this to maintain a defined (but still brushed) look.
I’ve tested this out a few times and I can confirm it works just like the
Benefit Gimme Brow. It makes my eyebrows look more defined and thickens my
brows at the same time.
Out of all the new ‘budget’ beauty launches right now I’ve
noticed a few BB cream products and so I was excited to see an illuminating BB
cream in this month’s box! This cream hydrates the skin, evens skin tone and
controls shininess and what’s good about this cream is that it’s fine to use on
sensitive skin as well!
If there’s one thing I seem to always buy, even though I
already have about 5 on the go already its hand cream. This hand cream from
Cath Kidston is infused with Jasmine, Vanilla and Orange flower and this smells
absolutely DIVINE. One tip I have
for hand cream is to moisturise your cuticles with the hand cream as well in
circle motions to increase your blood flow (it helps your hands look younger
too!)
There’s a special offer right now where you can receive 2
Birchboxes for £10, Bargain right?! All you have to do is enter ‘SPRING’ at the
checkout here.
What do you think of this month’s Birchbox? Have you tried
any of these products before?
