You might have noticed my lack of beauty box posts in the past few months. Truth be told, it became quite tiresome. There was no excitement anymore & I thought the
quality-to-price ratio was WAY off for the majority of the boxes.
Anyway, I ended up winning a 1 year Birchbox subscription from the Cosmo Blog Awards (yay!) but my hopes weren't sky high for the contents of the boxes as I've been disappointed in the past!
Birchbox-£10 + P&P per month.
You probably know the drill, but if you don't...beauty boxes aim to deliver deluxe beauty samples (kind of like a magazine subscription) to your door once a month.
Swooping in from the USA, Birchbox appears to have hit the nail on the head (so far).
I was VERY surprised to see some of my favourite brands inside-now this is what I'm talkin' about!
I'm all for trying new brands, but I love trying new products from popular brands I know & trust.
I thought the Teapigs Tummy Tonic was a really nice touch & who doesn't love tea?! Peppermint is one of my favourite kinds of tea (I LOVE the Liquorice & Peppermint tea from the same brand).

If you're into gettin' freaky (I'm talking about massages) there's a sample size of the I Coloniali Deep Massage Body Oil. You never know where the wind will take you (?).
AND for the serum lovers (see this post) there's a sample of the Wei Jujube Age Control Serum.
Onto my top three products in this month's box!
I'm head over heels for the TAAJ Micellar Water so I was really excited to try another product from the brand. It's the perfect size for my coat pocket and it sinks in quickly which is nice for on the go.
I have one of these lip balms in the "Passion" shade and I LOVE it. They're very expensive so it's a bit hard to justify having multiples, but they do a great job at moisturising, have a *slight* tint and smell like lemon!
I already own and love this product. It's supposed to help dry your hair quicker while adding a bit of shine. It's not holy grail material but I do really like using it.
As you can see I'm really impressed with my new items!
Do you agree? Or am I blinded by the Fresh Lip Treatment?
Would you like me to continue Birchbox posts or is it not really your thing?
