UK 2014 Birchbox Reviews: December

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Birchbox is a monthly beauty and skincare subscription box. Each month, a new box filled with five or six sample (and sometimes full-sized items) arrives in the post. The December 2014 UK Birchbox was designed and put together by Sophia Webster and came with a small striped on one side and leopard-print on the other side purse/makeup bag. I love the gemstone design of the box and the leaflets inside.

I received six products this month, and that does not include the Sophia Webster purse that I mentioned already.

Eslor firming collagen day cream: This cream claims to give skin a plumping boost, and it's exclusive to Birchbox. Day creams need time to monitor the results.

Electric Hair shampoo: This product claims to repair hair to improve nourishment and shine. A small amount goes a long way with this product. I thought that this was a good shampoo and did not require an additional use of conditioner, and it left my hair smelling nice the following day.

Eyeko Fat Eye Stick (in 'Smoke'): This full-sized product is another exclusive to Birchbox. It is a make-up crayon allows its user to create a smokey eye effect easily.

Models Own Nail Polish (in 'absinthe): A spolier was announced at the end of last month that allowed each subscriber to choose their own colour of full-size polish in the 'Velvet Goth' range from Models Own in a selection of five shades. I choose 'absinthe', a green colour because green is my favourite colour and I don't have a shade quite like this. I do like the colour, but the chunks of glitter can be quite big and the application was slightly lumpy. The polish did dry fairly quickly, though.

Trilogy Rosehip Oil: This product claims to rehydrate dry skin if massaged into it. This is perfect for the winter months when my skin dries out a little bit, and it does seem to do what it claims after a couple of uses.

The final product, the Benefit High Beam sample, came in a Birchbox miniature paper cracker. 

Benefit High Beam: This product can be used to create a blended highlight (dimensional) effect onto cheekbones and browbones.

What did you think about this month's Birchbox? I was happy with most of the products, and I loved the design of the box and the miniature cracker.
