BIRCHBOX MARCH 2016
12:00 PM
Every month I look forward to the day my box will arrive, it's like a present from me to me, I never know what is going to be inside this little cute box. This months box has not disappointed me in the slightest. I'm absolutely in love with every single item.
In this month's Birchbox you can variety of different things you definitely going to love. The highlight of this box is the stunning mermaid like brush from brand called Spectrum. It's an absolutely fabulous brush, I would get this box just for this brush alone if I'm honest not saying that other products aren't just as amazing.
MODELCO More Brows | full-size price £13
BirchBbx says: Up your brow game in a flash with this quick-dry gel. Containing hair-like particles to create the illusion of fuller brows, this wonder stuff re-shapes, thickens, and perfects in a flash
What I think?: It's a very good eyebrow product, it definitely makes my eyebrows fuller but this could be due to the product I use underneath this. It's a shame I received the light to medium shade which is definitely too light for my eyebrows but if you get the right shade I am certain you are going to love this little brow genius.
Would I purchase this?: I would definitely buy this in the darker colour. It is a good product and I definitely think it's worth it's price.

NUMBER 4TM Lumiere d'hiver Reconstructing Masque | full-size price £36
Birchbox says: When your salon appointment is weeks away ad you need hair help - fast - this is an SOS remedy! Packed with soy protein and shea butter, it nourishes and hydrates to leave hair restored.
What I think?: I love hair masks, which my dry and damaged hair from the colouring and styling I always need a good hair mask. This is a great hair mask it does exactly what it says it does and makes a difference to my hair however I don't believe you need this in your life. If it's in your price range definitely try it or see if you can get a sample but there are other hair masks that do the job for a lower price.
Would I purchase this?: No purely because of the price. I do believe it is a good hair mask that does make difference to my hair however I have cheaper hair masks that work just as good and don't break my bank.

BEAUTY PROTECTOR Protect & Detangle | full-size price £18.50
Birchbox says: Whether you're rocking sleek locks or textured curls, tangles are never a good look. This wonder spray detangles, de-frizzes and adds shine. Oh, and it smells of candyfloss... It's a win-win-WIN!
What I think?: This smells absolutely amazing and does a great job at detanangling my hair after it's been washed. I sometimes struggle to brush my hair after it's been washed and today when i got out she shower and my hair looked like it would be impossible to brush, i sprayed this all over my hair and it literally transformed my hair, it was so so easy to brush. I'm actually impressed with this. The only thing I didn't realise is that this is a leave in conditioner rather than a protecting and detangling spray I initially though it was.
Would I purchase this?: Definitely! This definitely my second favourite product in this month's box. It works wonders for my hair, my hair was never this easy to manage!

ARROW BOOST colour Enhancing Lip Balm | full-size price £11
Birchbox says: Meet ARROW, the new paraben-free, cruelty-free, vegan brand from Birchbox! Designed to fit into your active schedule, this balm protects lips and adjusts to your pH to create one that's totally unique to you!
What I think?: I like the concept of this, I like that it's paraben-free and cruelty- free and the fact that it adjusts to your pH and creates a unique colour just for you. It does a good job at moisturising my lips however I hate the colour it transforms into on my lips. It creates an ugly reddish pinkish colour that just doesn't look right on my lips and doesn't go with my skin tone at all unfortunately. I actually expected a lot from this and it disappointed me. I haven't seen this on anyone else so can't really tell whether it doesn't work for anyone or anything like that I can only say this haven't worked for me.
Would I purchase this?: Unfortunately I wouldn't purchase this now that I have tried it and I'm glad I have tried it because otherwise I would probably buy it and wasted £11. I absolutely love the idea of this however because it doesn't look right on my lips I am not going to purchase this.

RITUALS T'ai Chi Foaming Shower Gel | full-size price £8.50
Birchbox says: Though calming in fragrance (relaxing white lotus and nourishing yi yi ren), this shower gel is lively to use, transforming from a silky gel into a luxorius foam with water for a skin-softening cleanse.
What I think?: This reminds me a lot of a shaving cream, you know when you apply a gel onto your hands and it transforms into a foam as you rub it onto your legs? It kinda smells like one too. This aside, I absolutely love this! It feels amazing on my skin and leaves it so so soft, I actually don't want to rinse it of my skin whenever I use it. A little goes a long way as well so it's well worth the price. I can't actually smell anything other than this shaving gel like smell but it doesn't bother me at all.
Would I purchase this?: I actually think I would, I wouldn't use it on a daily basis but like once a week or something like that definitely. It is a great shower gel.
SPECTRUM COLLECTIONS Tapered Powder Brush | full-size price £7.99
Birchbox says: The vibrant, hand-finished brush makes light work of powder application (maybe setting powder, shimmery highlighter, or bronzer) thanks to precisely-shaped tip and super-soft tapered bristles.
What I think?: At last my favourite item in the whole box. I think this brush is absolutely fabulous. It's such a pretty brush I don't want to use it just so it doesn't get ruined or dirty.
I heard about Spectrum Collections brushes before but I thought they only looked good and weren't of a good quality so never actually purchased one myself. I love how this works so far I have only used it as a setting brush and it works great but I want to see how it works as a contour brush too.
Would I purchase this?: I wouldn't purchase this specific brush because I already have it but I would definitely purchase other brushes from the collection and create my own mermaid brush collection.
