April Birchbox




This month's Birchbox is a lovely floral-themed box in collaboration with Rifle Paper Co, and has some great products in! 

You could upgrade your box this month by paying £4 extra to get the Moss Garden Notebook set from the Rifle Paper Co (worth £12), and seeing as I love notebooks I thought I'd get them. They're amazing quality and are really beautiful designs. 

The actual products are a great selection too - two makeup, one skincare, one haircare and one body product. 

I've already tried the Balance me tinted wonder eye cream as I was so excited to give it a go. It's basically an eye cream and under eye concealer in one and I'm really impressed with it! It basically cuts out a step in my makeup routine so will be perfect for days when I'm in a rush! 

Another new makeup product is the Benefit Dew The Hoola which is a liquid bronzer. I haven't tried this yet, but I like the powder hoola so I'm excited to try it out. 

I also got a Parlor leave-in conditioner, which is a bit weird as I've been looking for a new leave in conditioner for a while but there doesn't seem to be many available at the moment (they literally didn't have any in my local boots and superdrug!) so of course I was really pleased to get this in my Birchbox this month. 

The two least-exciting samples for me were the Cynthia Rowley eyeliner (which I will use but I already have a few black pencils) and the Foot care cream (but I probably should start attending to my feet ready for sandal season!!)

I really do enjoy my Birchbox subscription, and I'd definitely recommend it if you're not already subscribed!

April Birchbox.


You all know I love getting my Birchbox every month, and this month's box is a special box in honour of the Royal Baby! It was also a 'choose your sample' month with 3 Laura Mercier options. I went for the primer, as I thought it would be good to try it and compare it to the oil-free version I'm currently using.

The nail polish from Lola Barcelona is really pretty, I posted an instagram picture of it when I first tried it - it's such a pretty summery shade. Also in the box is a Percy & Reed no oil oil, which I'm excited to try on my shorter hair as it's supposed to be very weightless. I also got the Korres bergamot pear body milk, Befine warming clay mask, and the Bliss Fabulous foaming face wash. I'm always wary of trying new cleansers/face washes as I'm so loyal to my Liz Earle, but this one sounds good so I'll give it a go! I've had a few Korres products before and really liked them, and seeing as I'll have to start prepping for the fake tan again, I'll be needing some body moisturiser!

I'm always impressed with my Birchboxes, and this month hasn't disappointed me. Birch box doesn't always have full-size or large samples, but the products are always things I actually use, which is why  I'm a loyal subscriber!

Have you got the April Birchbox?
