May Birchbox Unboxing

I received my first Birchbox.. it’s May’s box as I quickly ordered it before it turned June so I could get a certain product :)
It took a full week to come and when I got it today, I was impressed by the packaging.
Although the box is a bit flimsy compared to Glossybox, the design on the front was gorgeous and the products came in a lovely little drawstring bag, cute!
The box included a little welcome postcard, information and prices on the products inside and concise ‘Great Outdoors’ beauty guide containing tips on looking and feeling fresh throughout the summer and the festival period.

Product list: (starting from top left to bottom right)
  • Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser 30ml RRP £5.50
    I was pretty pleased with the items I received. I have only ever heard good things about Liz Earle’s products and was only recommended the hot cloth cleanser just 2 days ago! The last photo is the packaged Liz Earle products – it comes with a muslin cloth and instructions.
  • Soigné Nail Lacquer in Pomegranate RRP £11
    I love nail polishes, but I would never spend this much on one product. I’m a Barry M girl at heart.. But the packaging of this product was so elegant and looked high end. I can’t wait to try this shade, even though it may clash with my blue and pink hair!
  • Beauty Protector Shampoo & Conditioner (full size RRP £14 each)
    As I am always looking for new hair shampoo and conditioners, I was pleased to receive some samples of these. The smell is absolutely gorgeous and I can’t wait to use them.
  • Benefit ‘They’re Real’ Mascara 3g RRP £6.99+ (full size £19.50)
    I have always been a huge fan of Benefit’s ‘They’re Real’ mascara and have been using it for approximately 3 years. The formula adds length and volume whilst the wand keeping the lashes separate to prevent the caked and flakey mascara appearance. It is definitely worth the money for the full size product.
  • Aromatherapy Associates Revive Morning Bath & Shower Oil 3ml (approx) RRP £5 (full size £39)
    I was recommended a few days ago to try a bath oil as it saves time moisturising afterwards so this was perfect! The smell is quite strong and pungent but when in a bath I can only imagine it is quite relaxing. I can’t wait to try it.
I will use some of these products in the next few days and write some individual reviews on each as I cannot write a genuine review until they have been tried and tested – this is just to show my unboxing of the product and my first thoughts :)

It costs £10 per month plus £2.95 p+p, in my opinion it is well worth it considering the RRP of all of the products.
Thanks for reading,
