What a novel idea, this month’s Birchbox comes with a free book! Oh, and some other great beauty products too.
Dead Sea Spa Magik – Refreshing Bath Shower Gel (£7.15)
This shower gel smells so nice! It can be used as a body wash or a shower gel as it’s quite thick and really very blue. It’s also slightly shimmery. Seems very expensive for what it is though.
Vasanti – Brightenup! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator (£26)
I’ve been using this rejuvenator as an exfoliator as it’s got a fine beaded texture and it has a sweet and subtle smell. I haven’t noticed much of a difference from using it, but my skin does feel softer.
Supergoog! Daily Correct SPF35 CC Cream (£32)
Wow, this CC Cream looks like it’s been made for my skintone. It blends in a-may-zingly! It has a very light coverage, and I prefer a matte finish so probably wouldn’t buy a full sized version.
Number 4 – Super Comb Prep & Protect (£20)
This is a leave-in conditioning spray which detangles and protects hair against heat and sun damage. I haven’t used it yet and not sure I will as my hair doesn’t really get tangled very much. It also smells like a fizzy sherbert, ugh.
Wild About Beauty – Powder Eyeshadow in Paradise (£13)
Apparently this eyeshadow has been created by Louise Redknapp and Kim Jacob. It’s part of a paraben-free range which I like, but the color I’m not keen on. It’s a nice touch having a mirror, but not strictly necessary.
And to top it up, this box came with a Birchbox shower bag and a chapter of The Proposal by Tasmina Perry. A nice touch, but I have a Kindle, so I could have sampled this book for free.
Overall, this is a nice box with a good selection of products from brands I’ve not heard of before. They all seem to be fairly high-end which is great, but I suspect they might be hard to source on the high street.
