Januarys new year beauty subscription boxes 2015


Its still quite early in the month, and I have received three of my four beauty box subscriptions, the 4th is a new one that I will leave as a secret until it arrives at least. But I could not wait to share my first three beauty boxes of the year with you. 

Incase you are unaware of beauty box subscriptions, they're usually surprise sample boxes of beauty products that you receive every month until you cancel membership or you can buy your subscription out right and pay ahead for a set amount of time for said box. 
the monthly direct debit usually works out the easiest for most people. 

you will be able to find previous months and years boxes reviews on this blog incase you're wondering what previous boxes may have contained. 

so without further ado I give you January 2015's first beauty boxes of the year, yay!

Hello fresh discount card

Initially I was probably most impressed with my birchbox, and I feel that its contents are probably the most appropriate to the theme. 

With the you beauty box you're able to hand pick your samples so I'm ok with this box and actually happy to try out Merumaya products as I love their brand mission.

Initially i was very disappointed with the glossy box, the selection seemed random and uninteresting at first, so far Ive only properly tested the toner which luckily has impressed me on first usage it was rather pleasant to use. Ive received a lot of brown liners and I think this mememe brown eyeliner will become my new brow pencil as its pigmented but a little harder than I like on the inner rim and waterline for my liking, Ill just remind you that my HG eyeliner is the Chanel eyeliner and nothing touches it IMO.

Ofcourse I will keep you updated on my thoughts on these products in days to come however if you have any particular questions or future blog post requests please feel free to ask, I love hearing from you all. 

I hope that you have enjoyed this post

Love ya

ultra dex recalcifying and whitening toothpaste - Can you ever have too many TPs? 
The balm Stainiaclip and cheek stain- Im not a big fan of stains

BirchBox UK edition

Was it BirchBox that started the whole monthly beauty box subscription service in the USA?
I really think it was, And then in the UK we had services like Glossybox and Joliebox, well now Joliebox has been bought by the american birchbox.

My first ever BirchBox january 2013



In my box 

Wei white lotus moisture rich eye blend 2ml sample
Tea pigs tummy tonic caffeine free tea bag
Fresh sugar rose tinted lip treatment spf15 2.2g
Kms free shape quick blow dry 30ml
Taaj paris hand cream 30ml

Im hoping that I will be able to try out some more international brands that are not available in the UK through my monthly birchbox. 

Im most excited about 
The fresh sugar lip treatment since its raved about by various bloggers. its a cute dinky purse friendly size, its rose tinted and I love everything roses, btw I thought ill just put it out there that it screws open and shut rather than a standard lipstick or lip balm. 

Tea pigs tummy tonic sample, my sample is a standard peppermint which is great for detoxing and as an after dinner drink i wish there were a few different flavours to try out. 

Im equally happy about the wei eye cream as I'm always looking for a good eye cream now that I've crossed 30, I always use my GHDs so I'm always happy to use anything that would enhance their effect such as the KMS quick blow dry. The Taaj hand cream is also nice to have and try.

I would love to know what you got in your birch box now uk or usa !

Or you can check out the UK birchbox here
