This Month's BirchBox!


Hey Beauties,
 
I had the email on the 5th of November from BirchBox to say that my box for this month has been dispatched, low and behold - the next day (within 24 hours) I took a small pink box from a friendly YODEL delivery guy. Instantly, it's recognisable. Especially as it has BIRCHBOX on the side... hehe.
 
Walking into my dining room I often wonder what is inside, it's a big secret. It didn't feel heavier than usual, and I couldn't hear any plastic packaging rattling about when I shook it gently. I just had to open it.
 
The Birchbox itself is gorgeous, they teamed up with Skinny Dip London (and personally I think they should team up more often - I love the box!). The lid is a deep purple shade, in the centre it has "Birchbox X Skinny Dip" which is slightly embossed in silver metalic. Then all over there is the infamous Skinny Dip London Shell's, one is slightly embossed in silver metalic and the others are gorgeous ombre shades of Purple, Pink and Blue. I love the box! There was another design which I'm sure you'll see on somebody else's blog/channel or even on the BirchBox site! Take a look - It's just as gorgeous!
 
Inside the box is the standard BirchBox string pull bag and insides that is all our goodies!
 
First up is the Thumbs Up Designer Nail Wraps Accent Pack in "Rosa", it contains 5 accent nail wraps in 5 different sizes - It's sure to fit! They're rather pretty actually; pink drawn on rose, on a white background. Where it's only a sample pack you can't do all 10 nails, which is slightly disappointing but still nice to have one or two nails looking a bit glam with the others painted a colour to match (White/pink).
 
 
Next up we have a Lord and Berry Lip Liner, it's transparent and called 'Silhouette'. This isn't a new beauty find of mine, although it is a different brand to the transparent lip liner I currently use which is by Essence. The Lord and Berry Lip Liner feels a lot smoother than the budget one I use, it also feels as though it will really help my lip sticks to stay put! I've got a feeling that this is going to be my favourite product in this November BirchBox.
 
 
 
Ooooh, which product to pick next... We have 4 more to choose from!
 
OK, So now we have Beauty Protector Beauty Cream for Hand and Body, it's a moisturizer and it says it's "A rich, nourishing body cream that will leave your skin soft, smooth and revitalized all day long". Very cute packaging, pure white bottle to make the pink images/writing stand out. You can smell it way before you even open it, and it smells devine! I can't really describe the smell, just that its sweet and feminine. The cream is thick, feels amazing and luxiourious. It's super easy to rub into the skin as well - perfect!
 
 
Another product for the skin is the Delarom Paris Creme Acquaconfort, it's says it is suitable for all skin types and has organic Aloe Vera. It's a thin cream for the face with a pleasant smell. Rubbing it into the back of my hand just then it's made my finger tips feel really soft and smooth! I think I'm going to enjoy using this product. Within the BirchBox is a little booklet and in the booklet is says to use this product "When your complexion feels a little sorry for itself, this rejuvenating cream uses almond, apricot oils and vitamin E to nourish and soothe dehydrated skin from the first use", clearly my finger tips are proof of that! I'm excited.
 
Second to last but by no means is it any less amazing is Absolution La Creme de Taint. It's another product for your face to enhance your skin and beauty in a no make-up make-up way. It's a moisuriser that is nude coloured, and it sort of melts into your face and gives you a slightly naturally flawless finish. It's basically a BB cream but I feel as if I'm going to throw away my Garnier BB cream and use this. Its feels great on the skin, coverage is good and it has a nice smell to it which is a huge bonus considering some of it will be applied directly under the nose, lol.
 
Last but not least, we have the Number 4 Lumiere d'Hiver Super Comb Prep & Protect spray. According to BirchBox it's a "does-it-all wonder product", which is a huge claim but a very exciting one! My hair needs all the help it can get at the moment, it's so dry I find it difficult to comb/brush and I'm in two minds about getting it cut. I love my long hair, if I can - I want to save it. If not, then I'll get it cut into a lob (long bob). Oh please, I pray to hair heavens that whatever I find to help please let it help! I have the 30ml spray bottle here, at £20 for the full bottle - I have huge expectionations, but I'll let you know if it performs miracles on my hair!
 
So there we have it, all 6 products that were in November 2015's BirchBox and lets not forget that they colaborated with Skinny Dip London to design their fabulous little boxes AND even phone cases (Yes, I kept that quiet - quite simply because I didn't upgrade my box to get a phone case because they wouldn't fit my phone - Boo!). 
 
What do you think of this months BirchBox goodies? Personally I'm excited... I don't think I have ever used so many exclammation marks! lol.
