I was very excited when the post room at work alerted me to a package having arrived since I knew there was a chance it would be my Birchbox.
I've been subscribed to them for over a year now and every month is still like a wonderful gift to myself. This month was no different with Birchbox's October 2014 box themed with their support for CoppaFeel.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month so the theme is perfect. Inside, instead of the usual drawstring bag (which I recycle as makeup bags) was a pink zip bag.
It looks full!
This opened to reveal a perfect array of beauty treats that I can't wait to try out!
First Impressions:
I am in instant love with the nail polish because this is the shade of red I go for in all the brands I buy. Very similar shade to what I'm currently wearing from Barry M's Gelly line ('Blood Orange' shade - you can insert the gif of that guy from Project Runway yourselves)
I also can't wait to try the face masks on a pamper night, plus the pen is cute:
I have already tried out the lip balm. Mine was a sort of 90s brown shade and the pigment transfers to my lips well. The texture is lovely without being sticky. I'd have preferred a redder shade but the colour is subtle enough to suit my skin tone.
I also enjoyed the magazine that comes with the box. Staying with the theme, it's all about working the work/life balance with a handy checklist of daily activities and a reminder on how to check your breasts.
I personally love Birchbox and would definitely recommend them. Check out Birchbox.co.uk for more information or to subscribe. Alternatively, if you're just interested in one of the products, go to Birchbox.co.uk/shop to purchase it seperately or at full size.
Look forward to a My Little Box opening when this month's box arrives!
