Birchbox May 2015 UK

I tried on all the products in this box which I was really pleased with and wish I subscribed to Birchbox sooner!

So first I tried on the CAUDALIE  Vinoperfect Radiance Tinted Moisturiser in Light - Full size would cost £27 but this was a 15ml product.

It says - If there's anything we love more than skincare, it's skincare with extra benefits! This lightweight moisturiser is a true multitasker : both treating and brightening the skin whilst adding a little light coverage.
For normal skin, smooth onto clean, dry skin in place of your usual moisturiser. For dry skin, use your usual moisturiser first and then enhance with your Caudalie on top.
I have been wearing this for at least 5 hours now underneath my bareminerals ready foundation powder and my skin feels hydrated still, usually it would feel quite dry and tight, so I really like this tinted moisturiser!

Next I tried on the JELLY PONG PONG Caribbean Sun Bronzer in Martinique - Full size would cost £15.95 and this one was 3g


It says - Fake that holiday glow without stepping foot on a beach, thanks to this handy duo! The lightweight formula is infused with argan and mango butter for a naturally moisturising pop of colour.
Apply the bronzer to the hollows of your cheeks for effortless-looking contour, then add a rosy flush to the apples of your cheeks using the blush.

Then I used the PARLOR by Jeff Chastain Moisturising Sea Salt Spray which would cost £17 for the full size, this one was 30ml

It says - Salty sea air in a bottle! Sweet almond oil and vitamin-rich algae combine to add texture aplenty, while leaving your scalp nourished.
Bonus: It smells of ripe peaches and freshly cut grass.
Spread evenly onto damp or dry hair and style with your fingers for a tousled finish.

Birchbox subscribers also had a choice of receiving a WAH LONDON nail art pen, nail polish or press on nails, since I subscribed late I only had a choice of the nail art pen or press on nails so I chose the pen and received a dark blue one.


There was also a Lumiere d'Hiver Reconstructing Masque sample size of 7.5ml but the full size would cost £36.

It says - Transform your tresses from lacklustre to luscious with this moisturising treatment. Soy proteins, shea butter, sunflower seed and jojoba seed oils (phew!) leave hair smooth, strengthened and shiny.
Shampoo hair first then evenly distribute the full amount onto wet hair, from tips to scalp. Leave for 2 - 5 minutes and rinse.

And a little something extra- Everyone received colouring in pencils to colour inside (or outside!) the lines to personalise the lid of your box. Don't forget to take a snap of your handiwork and share the finished result with us at blog.birchbox.co.uk/colour and you could be in with a chance to win a really fabulous prize!

At the end I used my bareminerals ready foundation in R270 using the bareminerals full flawless brush andthe lipstick I wore was by Rimmel London lipstick in 200 "Latino"
