I was
highly anticipating this month’s Birchbox to be something good after how much I
enjoyed June’s. I feel perhaps I was slightly too optimistic about it after the
success of the last. What I loved the most about June’s was the difference in
the boxes, instead of the generic design we were instead graced with box
drawers. I loved this as it meant I wasn’t just throwing the boxes away and
instead able to put them to use. It’s a shame it didn’t continue but I enjoyed
it whilst it was there.
Onto the
box itself, this month was a gorgeous design in collaboration with Millie
McIntosh, who I happen to love – being the avid Made in Chelsea fan that I am!
The
products themselves were a mixture of good and okay.
John Frieda
7-Day Volume
My problem
with this product is that I do not need any volume in my hair! My hair is
already naturally thick and therefore this product seems a slight waste to me.
But for those of you who my be interest it claims to thicken the hair for up to
7 days.
Nails Inc
Next is
this mini of the Nails Inc nail polishes in a beautiful grey shades. I love
colours like this for evenings out because they are a very chic and classic
colour. I haven’t tried the colour yet so I cannot comment on the staying power
but it’s very pretty.
Elemis
Hydra-Nourish Night Cream
I have
actually received this cream before but have not yet used it as I like to use
the miniature sizes for when I travel. It claims to be a replenishing night
cream and an advanced skincare. I have used a few Elemis products before and
have really been impressed with them so I am excited to see how this one will
fair.
Hydraluron
Moisture Boosting Mask
I have
heard of these masks before but have never had the chance to get one. I am
actually really happy to have received this product as I am going through a
slight funk when it comes to my skin. At the moment I seem to have very dry parts
of my face, which causes my make up to become slightly patchy, so I am hoping
that these will help with that.
LOC x
Millie
This lip
product is the Birchbox exclusive item and one which is in collaboration with
Millie McIntosh. It’ colour is a pretty pink – perfect for those summer days.
I feel that
this time last year the products were more aimed at travel and holidays – which
I think, to be honest I probably would have preferred due to the nature of the
year. All in all, I found this box to be a mixture of emotions, some products,
such as the mask and the ail polish I am looking forward to testing. Whereas,
the John Frieda product I know I will not get much use out of – which is a
shame as it’s a full size product.
What did
you get this month in Birchbox? Do you feel it is still worth the money?
