Just like with Glossybox, Birchbox is all about skincare this month with 4 skincare products, 1 make up product and a make up sponge which is my absolute favourite! Been using it non stop since I received it in the post which you probably know if you follow my Instagram. If not make sure you do. Without further ado, lets move to the content of the box.

SPECTRUM COLLECTIONS Unicorn Tears Wonder Sponge full-size | £4.99

Birchbox says: "To achieve truly flawless make-up, this is the tool that you need. The perfect partner for cream, mineral, or liquid formulas, blend them seamlessly into skin, with the rounded end while the pointed tip gets into those hard-to-reach areas."

What I think?:  This is literally my favourite item in this months box. I love using this to apply my foundation and find myself reaching for it more than my brushes. It helps create a flawless base on my face and my make up never looks uneven or cakey when using this. It reminds me a lot of beauty blender without the hefty price tag.

Would I purchase this?: I will definitely repurchase it once my sponge needs replacing, or even get myself a few back ups as I can see myself loving it for a very long time!


LOC One and Done Shadow Stick in Empress Me full-size | £8

Birchbox says: "STOP PRESS! You are about to experience Birchboox's first in-house make-up brand. Expect up to 11 hours of creaseless, waterproof colour in one handy stick. This nifty formula provides effortless beautiful colour."

What I think?: The colour of this shadow stick is gorgeous and like the description says it is long lasting and creaseless. I actually find it really hard to remove it from my eyes which is a good thing as I know it lasts and I don't have to worry about it fading when I want to wear it on a hot day or on a day when I know I'm going to be wearing make up for longer than usually.

Would I purchase this?: I want to try out other colours however when this one runs out I reckon I will repurchase it as I do really enjoy using it.


PHILIP KINGSLEY PK Prep Polishin Balm | full-size price £18.50

Birchbox says: "Forget flyaways, frazzled hair, and dry ends, this balm-to-serum formula leaves every hair type feeling smooth and conditioned and looking sleek and glossy. Bonus: it also delivers ProVitamin B5 and Vitamin A to nourish deep-down, too!"

What I think?: I mainly use it to tame my frizz and flyaways as I don't really like spraying hairspray on my hair. It does a good job at making my hair appear smooth and feel incredibly soft. I never have to worry about my hair looking dry or frizzy when I use this.

Would I purchase this?: I never owned anything like this, I think it's truly incredible and will repurchase.


CLAUDALIE Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet | full-size price £23

Birchbox says: "Yes, the humble grape is brimming with antioxidant-boosting benefits that your skin will love. Claudalie has harnessed its power within this unique gel-cream formula to hydrate, reduce redness and instantly soothe skin."

What I think?: I can't describe the scent of this sorbet, it's a nice fresh smell however I can't tell whether it's flowers it smells of or fruit, either way it does smell very nice and feels really nourishing on my face. I don't know whether it does reduce my redness as I haven't really notice much difference however I like it because my face actually feels hydrated and it soothes any irritation I may feel on my face.

Would I purchase this?: I think I would repurchase this product.


PURISKIN Resurfacing Formula | full-size price £13.99

Birchbox says: "Sometimes, your skin just needs a little TLC, and that's where this soothing formula comes in! Created for use on face and body, this gentle balm is packed with cooling cucumber to calm redness and irritation when you really need it."

What I think?: I like the idea of this, however I don't find myself ever reaching for it. I don't really like that it is created for both body and face. I prefer products that are made either for the face or the body as I feel they work better that way. I think it would be perfect for someone who actually needs it but I don't have any scars or blemishes that could use this.

Would I purchase this?:  Unless I was in need of a resurfacing cream and something to get rid of scars I don't think I'm going to repurchase this.


YOU-BE Moisturizing Skin Cream | full-size price £19.50

Birchbox says: "Whether it's cracked lips, scaly pre-summer legs, or rough hands, this nourishing gel-cream is packed with glycerin (a hydrating wonder-ingredient!) to deliver a healthy dose of vitamins and replenishment from top to toe."

What I think?: This works great as a lip balm for cracked lips and elbow moisturizer. I have a very rough skin on my elbows which never seems to be moisturized enough however this actually manages to make my skin on my elbows a lot softer with each use.

Would I purchase this?: I would repurchase this.
