Hey there my angels! It seems I only post about beauty boxes doesn't it? But my next post will be a little bit different after this one, trust me!
This post, as you can see from the title is about the February Birch Box! This month's box didn't really have any theme to do with valentines day which was a little bit odd because most beauty boxes do.
But nevertheless let's get on with the stuff inside this months box! Just remember unlike the Glossy Box, inside the Birch Box people do get different things. My items will not be exactly the same as someone else's!
So this is what the box looks like after you take it out of the ugly box it get's posted in.
The packaging for this issue was pretty boring and ugly. But not awful!
The first thing I saw when I opened it was that next months issue, they are pairing up with benefit! You get to choose online what benefit mascara you want to receive next month and because I already own the they're real benefit mascara I chose the roller lash one! So that will be fun and hopefully make up for how awful this months addition is...
But I do admit that the string bags make an excellent make up bag.
The first item that caught my eye slightly was this stainiac cheek and lip tint. This is my favorite item from this whole box. The color is absolutely gorgeous and its literally just a tint, not a stain. So it doesn't harshly stain your skin/lips. It's got just enough pigment to be not so bright, but it is noticeable! Its absolutely lovely. 5 out of 5 stars!
I was really confused by this product. I had no idea what this had to do with beauty, but then I read that you can use this for cooking, as a moisturizer and as a hair conditioner. I put this on my face before bed and I'm not even going to lie it was horrible. My face was all gunky and slippery, it looked like I had just put my hand in butter and rubbed it all over my face. Then I tried it as a hair conditioner, it messed my hair up completely. It was all greasy and slippery too. I will not be going near this again at all! 0 out of 5 stars!
On to the next product. This is a Caudalie paris radiance serum/complexion corrector. Now because the bottle is so small I couldn't really get an accurate description of what it is like as a whole product. But from what I used, it did brighten my face and correct anything that needed to be corrected, but it wasn't amazing. It is retailed at about £45, from what I can remember. 3 out of 5 stars!
This product is also a product that does not have enough in to test out an accurate result. But I do have dry hair and this did help from what I saw. It is also a really cute little bottle so I couldn't not try it! I have never heard of the brand "Electric", but I'm sure that they are as good as everyone says they are! 3 out of 5 stars!
This box is not going very well is it? And it's about to get worse! This next product has got to receive a 0 out of 5 stars from me. It is a "London Butterflies" branded bath salt scrub. Now I may just be really really stupid or this is an awful product. It doesn't specify how to use this product so I just assumed that you rub it on your body and it gets rid of all the dead skin, which is fine! But after you do that and dry yourself off, you are left with a sticky as hell body, you can't bend your legs because they will get stuck because of how sticky it is! Next time I will run this under some warm water in my bath to see if that's the way you are meant to use it, like a bubble bath type of thing!
This last product is my second favorite, I have never used an eye shadow chubby stick, but I now have! And I love it! This is an eyeko FAT Eye stick. I absolutely adore it, apart from the fact it creases and bunches up so easily!
Here is a blurry iPhone quality swatch:
This product gets 4 out of 5 stars!
Thank you for reading this post, please kiss all your animals in your house for me.
Love Becca
