Birchbox Review- May 2015

May 2015's Birchbox is themed around 'Free Your Mind' encouraging you to be creative and even to colour in your own box. 

For £10 (+ P&P) you can receive and try out 5 chosen samples that you receive in your monthly subscription box. Also this month I was guaranteed a free full size nail art pen from Wah London! The products that received are...

Colouring Pencils! 

'Another little something extra'. Birchbox kindly included some colouring pencils to use to help get creative and personalise the design of the box. I plan to colour mine in soon, so follow my instagram to soon see my finished box!

NUDE: ProGenius Omega Treatment Oil (buy here) 

This sample is in a small purple pump bottle, a few drops of this nourishing oil and best applied after cleansing at night, to allow it to absorb into my skin, feeling it soft and healthy. This will certainly be a part of my night time routine, occasionally replacing my moisturiser.

STILA: Lip Glaze (buy here)

As soon as I saw the light peach shade for this lip gloss, I was excited to try it out. I don't usually wear lip gloss, however this lip glaze in the colour Glow will certainly add to any summer time makeup routine, plus the convenience of the click-pen packaging which I prefer. Let's not forget about that it's packed with vitamins A, C and E to keep lips hydrated and looks lovely!

LIZ EARLE BEAUTY CO: Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser (buy here)
Naturally I've heard about this product so many times, but the big name and price tag put me off ever trying it. This hot cloth cleanser which is suitable for all skin types is great to gently remove my makeup, especially mascara, even though I do look like a panda during the cleansing process. A great product that if I could justify buying, may hop in to my basket on day. 
Oh and this came with a muslin cloth, so I'l practically half way there to repurchasing. Plus this muslin cloth will be great for when I use my cleansing balms too!

WAH LONDON: Nail Art Pen(buy here)

A free full sized nail art pen! Why thank you Birchbox!
I chose to receive a nail art pen, of which I received in blue (shade 08), and I love it. It was a colourful addition to my nails, and has given me that push towards creating more nail art designs in the near future, so keep an eye out.

PARLOR:Moisturing Sea Salt Spray (buy here) 

With scents of ripe peaches and freshly cut grass, this seal salt spray in a bottle as well as its scent adds texture to your hair. This product is encouraging me to focus on my hair more, as well as ensure that my hairstyles such as buns stay sturdy.

JELLY PONG PONG: Bronzer Duo (buy here)
My Caribbean Sun bronzer duo is in the shade martinique, half a tan powder for contour, and a rosy pink blush, a perfect combination palette for the cheeks, particularly those whom have pale skin.  A fab compact duo infused with argan and mango butter for a moisturising contouring choice. 

NUMBER 4: Reconstructing Masque (buy here) 

As a fellow fan on hair masques, this wonderfully moisturing product makes your hair feel fresh, strong and shiny. I love that this was an extra beauty bonus in my box, however wish that it was not in a sachet, so I didn't feel I had to use it all at once.

Considering this is my first ever Birchbox, overall I am very happy and content with my samples, and may even consider purchasing larger sizes, and look forward to future boxes!
