April Birchbox 2013 UK

I hate mornings. My bed never wants to let me go and I don't want to leave it. The only time i don't mind getting out of bed in the morning is for my Birchbox. If you aren't familiar with Birchbox it's an american beauty box company that recently came to the UK when it took over Joliebox. You get, on average, five samples per box with a mix of full size and sample size products. The boxes always have a theme, this months theme was "In bloom".

Mirenesse Glossy Kiss:
First up, my favourite item in the box. Believe it or not this is actually my first lip stick. I was expecting it to have the consistency of a lipgloss and the finish of a lipstick but i found it was more like a pigmented lip balm. The product is a gorgeous pink with subtle gold shimmer. This is the full size product worth £17.50. Buy (here).

Natio Gentle Foaming Facial Cleanser: This smells divine. It's a pretty standard cleanser but i'm going to be repurchasing it again just so i can sniff it all day (in the least creepy way possible). Buy for £6.80 (here).

Weleda Skin Food: I have tried skin food before, it's a great moisturiser which is really hydrating. It is quite thick which is great however it feels quite heavy on my skin which i'm not too fond of but it's a generally good product so i could look pass this. I tend to use this on it my cuticles as an intense moisturising treatment. This is a sample size, full size is buy 75ml for £8.95 (here). Buy 30ml for £4.95 (here).

La societe Parisienne De Savons soap: This, to me, smells like childhood. I can smell honey and grapeseed (it reminds me of Burts Bees honey hand cream, (here)) and is pleasant to use, going straight into my bathroom! Full size costs £8.50. Buy (here).

Gera Spillmann Renaissance Age serum: I won't get much use out of this products as i don't require anti ageing products. The summary of the product says it's suited for all ages but the title suggests otherwise... Buy for £69 (here).

Birchbox Paname Paris Mirror (extra): I really like that they add extra's like this, this is a really convenient mirror with cute packaging. Perfect to pop into your bag.

Overall I quite like this box. If you too like the look of this box and would like to sign up to birchbox you can do so (here). Subscriptions are £10 per month plus p&p.
