March Birchbox

Wrote by Post Comment

If there's one thing that excites me by the start of the new month, it's Birchbox! I always look forward to trying the products and seeing what goodies are inside, I wish I could afford to subscribe to all the beauty boxes out there, I really do :(


                                     

So the one thing that I was really excited for, was the design of the box itself. As they collaborated with Habitat this month, the box had a really lovely design.

Let's get onto the contents of the box..



        

I must say I was a little  disappointed with the contents and after speaking to a few others, they feel the same way!  The first thing I noticed was that there was no bag inside like usual. I loved the bags as I found they were really useful and I actually got use out of them.

         

The first thing is Benefit - Bad gal Lash which I actually chose as it's my favourite mascara of the three that they have so it's always good to have a back up (and saves me buying it again!).

The fragrance Catherine Malandrino - Style de Paris isn't too bad! I'm usually into sweeter scents but I can just about cope with this, it's not totally amazing but it's always good to have perfume samples as they're easy to carry around.

Philip Kingsley - Elasticizer, at first I thought this was just a shampoo, which I was happy about as I'm going to London in a couple of months so travel sizes are ideal! However after reading the card just now, I've found it to be a pre-treatment shampoo! Which I'm even more excited about as I've never really tried anything like that before! It retails for £27.50  so the chances of me ever purchasing it is slim, but it's nice to have the chance to try it.

I've recently been getting more into body scrubs so to receive the Janjira - Thai lime and ginger shower scrub was pretty exciting. I recently bought 3 from soap and glory so I'm going to save this one for when I go away! It smells really fresh and I'm pretty excited to try it. It's priced at £22 so it's going to have to be pretty spectacular if I'm ever going to buy it.

The last beauty related item is the Lord & Berry Couture kohal kajal eye pencil in black, which is the only colour eye liner I ever use! I've only ever tried their bronzer before (a sample through birchbox previously) but I didn't fall in love with it. Hopefully this one, I will! You can never have too many black eye liners though so I was glad to get this!

The lifestyle extras included a mini notebook which is super cute, and a preview of a book. I'm not really into getting book chapters as much as I would used to have. I don't have the time to read so much any more so it doesn't really interest me to get these!

As always, there is a coupon code for 20% off the collaborated brand and there is also a few sneak peaks for the next box!
There is going to be a Laura Mercier sample in the April box and it also mentions another pick your own sample, which I always love doing! 
It also mentions a limited edition box coming in April, which I am VERY excited for!

When I first opened the birchbox, I was a little let down but to be honest, after thinking about each product in depth and writing this, it's made me realise that it isn't actually that bad of a box! I'll admit there has been MUCH better months, but it's not a terrible box altogether. There's a few brands that I haven't heard of so it's good to try them out.

If you were thinking about getting this box but haven't fallen in love with this months, make sure to have a look at previous months as it has been so much better before.
