So this is my second Birchbox and this is what I thought! Firstly I'm really sorry about the late post, I've just been all over the place at the moment and I've been putting my blog behind! This is just a quick review so apologises if it's not too in depth but I didn't want to add too much information!
So the first product is this little green tube from Weleda. Apparently it's a little wonder cream called 'skin food'. I must say I totally agree with the name! The first time I used it I slathered it all over my face at night and woke up with skin so soft I could not stop feeling it. It has a herbal scent too which is very refreshing but at night seems to make me feel sleepy. It hasn't once left my skin feeling greasy at all and if I could compare it to a product it would be a like to the Yu-Be cream which was within my last box. However Weleda is much more affordable, I will definitely purchase this again!
The second product is a beautiful little vintage box. It contains soap which is slightly random but I have to admit it smells beautiful! It reminds me of the Burt's Bees hand cream, it's just amazing! Unfortunately I won't be using this so scrub my hands with it because if I'm honest soap bars really irritate me. However I do have a soap collection going off in my clothes drawers. Just a little trick my Nanna taught me: pop a bar of soap in with your clothes and they'll always smell fresh. Simple.
The third is a lipstick pencil, otherwise describes as a chubby stick. The shade isn't my cup of tea as it's quite shimmery but I guess I would wear it casually within the day. It contains something which somehow makes my lips feel very moisturised. It's not a brand I have heard of but I guess they will issue other colours too, which if I ever feel like I need a chubby stick I'll have a look! But for now, I have enough! **must stop purchasing makeup**.
Nearly every single week I'm like 'urrggg, why do I not have a mirror in my bag'! So it's kind of obvious that receiving this was a godsend! I think I'll keep this mirror as a travel one and take it around with me. It's a mirror, they're all pretty much the same they just have different designs. I think this is pretty neat as only a limited amount of people will have it. Thanks for that Birchy!
Woah this next product sucked! No idea why this company believes that the smell of this is relaxing because I just felt ill each time got a whiff of my hair. It reminded me of the smell of green Thai curry which isn't a pretty smell in your hair! It didn't do anything to benefit my hair either so for that reason I will not be purchasing this product any time soon!
The last product is an age serum from Gerda Spillmann. I'm 18 years old so I'm not really in need of anti-again serums however I do believe it's good to start using them young to keep good elasticity within the skin to prevent winkles when I'm older. This is a very small sample and the price of the full one is pretty steep! I'm not aware of this brand so for anti ageing I'll most probably stick to brands such as Estee Lauder.
Overall, I can say this month hasn't been super impressive. I do feel as though I have received great products for the price however I wont be using many of them on a regular basis and one of them I will not use at all so I feel it's a slight let down. I think I'll carry on with my Birchbox for one more month and then cancel my subscription as I haven't been as impressed with Birchbox as I have been with Glossy box. If I were to recommend one product from the box it will definitely be the Weleda Skin Food, it's simple amazing!
