My November subscription box Birchbox arrived at the end of last week, and the month's theme is "Cozy at Home". Birchbox is a monthly subscription box that brings sample size (and occassionally full size) beauty products to subscribers. As the colder, darker, and rainy weather hits the UK, the theme of the box is perfect for this month.
The box contained a wintery "I'm staying in and binge-watching" card that subscribers were encouraged to fill out and post on social media. As the holidays are quickly approaching, I put "It's a Wonderful Life." This is one of my favourite films.
The November box contains a couple of full-size items along with the samples, so there are six items in total. The full size items are OPI nail polish and a Dr. Jart+ skin care product. I have used OPI nail polish before and own a couple of bottles of it, but Dr. Jart+ was new to me.
OPI nail polish in 'Turn on the Haute Light': The different shades of nail polish available in the Birchboxes this month were from the brand's Coca-Cola range. I am extremely happy with the silver colour that I received. The other two options were red and purple. OPI nail polishes are always good quality, and this only took one coat, and it has a shimmer to it. The product also dried quickly. Overall, I like this product, and it is a win for me.
Beauty Protector 'Protect & Detangle' for hair: This product promises to detangle and de-frizz hair as well as to add shine. This does seem to do the trick and made my hair feel soft.
Lord & Berry mini bronzer in sienna: I have only used bronzer once or twice, so it's not a product that I would use normally. However, I cannot fault the product as it is a nice colour and easier to apply than my current bronzer.
English Laundry 'Signature for Her' perfume: This perfume is described as having floral and musk notes, and I think it has a coconut smell. I love perfume, so I was happy to receive this. The scent is also similar as one brand of perfume that I used to use that has since been discontinued. The perfume that was discontinued is in the range Harajuku, which I covered here: Design Review: Harajuku Perfume).
Dr. Jart+ V7 Turnover Booster: This serum is described as boosting skin's radiance. The gel is quickly absorbed into skin. I have only used it every day for a few days now, so I cannot vouch for the effectiveness of the product. I am always a little skeptical of anti-aging skincare products.
Drinkwel: This product can be used to help recover after having a night of drinking. I am not sure when I will use these.
Overall, I am happy with this box. I have been a subscriber of Birchbox since June, and some of my past reviews are here: UK 2014 Birchbox Reviews: October, UK 2014 Birchbox Reviews: September, and UK 'Love Me Beauty' box reviews: July, August, September.
