APRIL 2017 BIRCHBOX // REVIEW

As the postman handed me my Birchbox, I just couldn't wait to see inside.
The design on the box is so cute!. It looks so pretty placed on my shelf, the drawer is a lovely added extra too! This just added to the excitement!


Upon opening the drawer, I was surprised with the size of the products - very reasonable for what you pay for your subscription! All of the products have such lovely packaging. I don't know if its just me but I prefer products that look nice as well as do the job.


Baïja Paris - Crème Moana in Fleur de Tiarè


This smells INSANE!
It rubs so easily into my skin and makes it so soft! I've been using this cream on my hands and the smell is just amazing! The sample is the perfect size to keep in my bag when I'm out and about, making it super easy to keep moisturized.

The full size RRP is £15.90 and in my opinion its so so worth it, I will definitely be buying more of this! 

amika: The Shield Style Extending Spray


I received a 31.5ml sample of this spray and I must say with an RRP of £20 for a full size, its not much different to any other hairspray I've tried. It smells lovely and most definitely does what it says on the bottle!

I don't think I'll be purchasing the full size version myself, but if you're looking for a hairspray that is very light on your hair then this may just be the one for you!

Nip + Fab Colour Correcting Concealer


This months Birchbox included a full size version of this product. I must admit, once reading the booklet provided and learning that the purple shade 'eliminates yellow undertones' I became a bit skeptical. Only reason being that I have more red patches so green would have been ideal. To my surprise, this colour corrector is by far my favorite! It really brightens dull parts of my skin, it dries super quick and the brush applicator is great.

To top it off, the full size RRP is £8.95 which means its almost certain that I will be buying this again. 

Polaar IcePure Gentle Scrub with Arctic Cotton


I'm not one for face scrubs but I thought I'd give it a go. I can't express enough how soft my skin felt after using this, this scrub has made it into my skincare regime! I felt so energized after using this and the fragrance is beautiful.

Full size RRP is £23.50, it's quite pricey for a face scrub, but I feel since I wont have to use it every day and maybe more like 2-3 times a week it's most likely worth the investment.

Manna Kadar Cosmetics High Definition Powder


By far my favorite product from this months Birchbox. I had the choice between two different full size Manna Kadar Cosmetics of which I chose this powder. This powder is ideal for my skin as I'm quite pale. It's so smooth to apply! Using a brush I end up with a perfectly matte finish without looking caked in powder.

It's full size RRP is £27, for a powder this good I definitely would not mind paying, although its about the size of a singular eye shadow. If I were ordering it for the first time without seeing it face-to-face, I would be very disappointed with the size.

All in all, I'm pretty impressed with April's Birchbox and I can't wait for next months!
