Birchbox- a fresh start

January's Box

This is the first box I have received since the rebranding of Joliebox.




So what do I think?

The last few boxes I had received from Joliebox last year had left me disappointed . I signed up to a beauty box to give me an opportunity to explore some new products that I wouldn't otherwise have tried. I often feel it is a waste of money to buy a full sized product only to find out a few days later it is not the product for you. I love beauty products and it is a real treat to receive a box of goodies each month. However, I felt I wasn't getting value for money and although my years subscription was a birthday gift I still feel I should get the moneys worth.

This BirchBox arrived in an unsecured box which I was a little concerned about, but all seemed ok. A pleasant box , with bright pink accents and an inner bag. I like it that they are retaining the good points of Joilibox. We have a magazine, which is good to read and leaflets explaining the contents and Birchbox. 



The contents this month are a good selection of products. I am pleased with them all. I suspect some will complain about the tea bag, but I enjoy getting different teas in my boxes. Anything that cuts back my caffeine content.



1. Fresh - Sugar Rose Lip Treatment - This is a sample . A full size would be £15.50. This is a lovely product and has gone straight into my handbag. Lovely moisture with a hint of rose.




2.KMS California- Free Shape quick blow dry - I am a big fan of KMS products so will enjoy trying this out. The top layer detangles and softens whilst the bottom layer helps it dry faster. Full size would be £13.50

3. Taaj - Creme Mains Delhicates Hands Cream - This would be £10. A lovely rich hand cream.



4. Wei White Lotus moisture rich eye blend - advanced eye cream with skin firming peptides. Full size would be £60. I am looking for a good eye cream, but think this may be a bit expensive for me. I will make the sample last!



5. Teapigs - peppermint tea. I love peppermint tea. Pack of 15 would be £3.49


I am pleased with this first box. Any products that I don't use straight away I put to one side to use as gifts or for a guest basket.

Beauty Boxes.

I must admit I have a bit of a weakness for what we used to refer to as kids as 'smellies' - only now that desire is not really satisfied by a simple  bottle of pink Mr Matey bubble Bath. I love new products . Hair products, face creams , nails varnish , hand creams, perfumes .... anything pretty, smelly and if it does what it says on the tin then I'm interested!

I've decided as a birthday treat this year to sign up for the monthly beauty box by JolieBox . You get a box of four to five beauty samples to try every month and can cancel at any time. It is only £10 and the register of companies that the samples come from look great! There do seem to be a few of these beauty box companies , but for what I wanted JolieBox seemed to fit the bill for now. If you wanted something that would give you a full size product and a couple of samples, then Amarya Beauty Box would be a good one to have a look at  - from the videos it looks like some of the samples in this box are limited, but you do get a really lovely full size product from their range worth about £20 so it balances out.

've seen a fair few reviews on these in Blogland.......! Some positive , some not so good, but I'm going to give it a try and getting a parcel every month is always a treat anyway. I have a monthly magazine subscription to Red that I got for a bargain with my Tesco vouchers and I love getting that in a life that continually revolves around football, tennis, swimming lessons, kids parties, what to cook for the next meal......etc etc.  A little something for me!
