February is all about the month of love and this month Birchbox want you to fall back in love with your daily routine and prioritise a little me-time. So, to help you with that, Birchbox has designed a charming box of six beauty treats that are guaranteed to make your heart swell.
Inside this heart designed box are no less than 6 products to try and they range from skincare and makeup to your own wellbeing. The box design I absolutely love and the fact it opens like a drawer means it is easy to recycle and re-use for other purposes.
The first item out of the box is the newly launched rose-scented Spacemask. I am a huge fan of Spacemasks and I adore the Rose Scented edition. Spacemasks are designed to encourage you to take time out and relax when using them. The self-heating mask sits really comfortably over your eyes and heats up and stays warm for up to 20 minutes, during which time, you can just do absolutely nothing but enjoy the wonderful rose scent.
Anatomicals is a brand I haven't used for quite some time now, but what I love about them are the quirky and cheeky names they give to their products. Within this months Birchbox is the Rose Hand Cream. This cream is nourishing on the skin and has a lovely light rose scent to it which lingers just long enough for you to appreciate it without being too much.
I love that you can now get masks for absolutely everywhere on your body and from Vitamasque this month is the Lip Mask which is made from a non-slip skin-gel formula. This mask is infused with a Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Complex which is said to be a higher strength of traditional Hyaluronic Acid. This formulation combines Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed HA and Sodium Acetylated HA together, to enhance the skin's ability to retain moisture compared to regular Hyaluronic Acid products. Then there is a Vegan Collagen Booster which is included to naturally boost elasticity levels around the lip area for subtly plumper pout. Mulberries and Wild Cherries extracts are also infused to provide a source of antioxidants and an intense repairing action, for noticeably softer lips in 15 minutes.
From Lord & Berry is the 20100 Maximatte Lip Crayon in the shade Soul. Described as being a Liner-meets-lipstick, it is designed to deliver a brilliant matte colour that glides on to the lips effortlessly. It is enriched with Vitamin E which delivers anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, hydration and suppleness properties. Soul as a shade is a deep coral peach shade. On the lips, it glides on with relative ease and despite being matte, it isn't uncomfortable.
A brand I haven't come across before is Beautaniq Beauty and within this box is the Darling Dahlia Blusher. This is a pretty mineral blush which has a rose carved into the product to make it look even prettier to match the shade which is a warm rose. This blush can be applied with fingers or a brush and it is a shade that can be built up to give as much coverage as you are happy with.
The final product within this box comes from Glamglow and it is the Brighteyes illuminating anti-fatigue eye cream. Described as being an illuminating eye cream it has been formulated with peptides, caffeine and an intense infusion of hyaluronic acid to instantly brighten dark circles and reduce visible signs of fatigue around the eyes. Also included within this cream is linoleic acid and a blend of watermelon, apple and narcissus extracts which works with all skin tones to help strengthen that delicate eye area skin’s moisture barrier whilst at the same time helping to reduce visible signs of fatigue.
I really liked this Birchbox theme, it has been a while that I have shared a Birchbox here on my blog, but I am glad I have this one to do so. Like other beauty boxes, Birchbox is a subscription service* which costs just £10 per month and if you sign up this February, you can grab yourself a FREE full-size eyeshadow palette from The Beauty Crop (worth £24!), all you need to use is the code COFFEE.
