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 !

A look inside my october Joliebox 2012

JolieBox October 2012

My package arrived yesterday, and I could not wait to share the contents of this months box with you. 

Although its too early to actually fully review the products I still wanted to share my first impression thoughts with you. 

In the box

Ritessens velvet face cleanser 

Nice big full size product from a brand ive never heard from but would be interested to try this, I hope I like i since it is so big.

Lov organic tea in 'lov is beautiful'

Im actually very interested in trying these scandinavian tea bags.  they're very premium quality tea bags, the bags are actually made of muslin, and although I hate standard black tea, And I think that white tea tastes like sh**.

 This tea is a combination of white tea, green tea, and red tea aka redbush/rooibos tea (I love both green tea and red tea) and they also contain pieces of fruit which sounds delicious. 

Jason Bee healthier lip balm stick

it seems to be just another lip balm but made with natural ingredients with aloe vera which is known to be very soothing, beeswax which is very softening/moisturising and the best thing is that the first or main bulk ingredient is actually cocoa butter. maybe its not just an ordinary lipbalm afterall, I guess a person can never have too many lipbalms!

Balance me daily essentials balancing facial moisturiser

this is a small but decent 10ml moisturiser suitable for normal combination skin.

it is made from 99% natural ingredients, I think its somewhat of a nice but normal moisturiser so I will put this aside for travel or until a later date since im trying to use up current open products. 

Moa the green balm

this is a cute little dinky jar, is a multi purpose balm that is made from 100% natural ingredients. I have received this in a previous Joliebox and its nice for lips and cuticles and is soo tiny it can even fit in the tiniest of purse or wallet and its very unisex with its simple packaging and fresh natural smell. This would also be nice to use on small children and babies. It reminds me of Liz Earle superbalm. My favourite use for this product is on cuticles since i have my hands in and out of water as a very busy mum. 

Do you use any of these products? 

What did you get in your JolieBox ?
