Inside May's Birchbox

Its that time of the month again when I am awaiting the arrival of my little box of goodies from Birchbox, and May's box did not disappoint.

The theme of this months box was "FREE YOUR MIND". Starting with the box itself you can see that its not the usual birchbox design. Infant for a Birchbox first you can make your box totally unique to you by customising the design of the lid, (depending if you've got loads of time to spend colouring in the lines). Ive only done a little bit of my lid but once I started colouring in it really felt therapeutic and it really took my back to when I was young and I would sit on a saturday afternoon colouring in with my nanna.

Another change to May's Box was that instead of getting loads of different cards about what was in the box to tutorials, this was now in a very handy booklet format. I really like this as I felt myself reading the full booklet where as in the past I would of just put them bits to one side.

Now lets talk about what was inside May's box...

     CAUDALIE - A vinoperfect radiance tinted moisturiser.

I was sent the shade 01 Light. Having tried a number of tinted moisturisers I was    not overly excited about trying out this product as I am not a huge fan of tinted moisturisers, as I prefer to use a full coverage base. This tinted moisturiser is very lightweight and it does add a little bit of coverage as well as brighting the skin. Overall I think this will be great to take on holiday with me and to also use in the summer but I will not be purchasing the full size product.





                            WAH LONDON - Nail Polish in shade "Love My Team

 I am totally in love with this nail polish. Not only is this is my perfect shade (a classic red but not too red) but this was also a full size product which is also great. This nail polish goes on brilliant after only one coat but to give it that extra oomph I would apply two coats. This is another great product that I will be putting away for my holiday.


 


        PARLOR - Sea Salt spray

I have never really used a sea salt in my hair before so when I saw this product lying in my box I didn't really know what to think about it. This is a salty sea spray smelling of ripe peaches promising to give you that textured beachy waves look. After one spray into my dry hair it did really give me that messed up look, but i don't think ill be going for this look any time soon.




                         WHISH - Body butter in almond

This is your average body butter with organic shea butter, raspberry butter and aloe along with extracts of seaweed. This is very hydrating and it also smells great too.

JELLY PONG PONG- Sun bronzer duo 

This bronzer duo has to be my favourite item from the May box. Not only is this product crulty- free but the lightweight formula is infused with argan and mango butter which gives  

you a natural pop of colour. 

NUMBER 4- Reconstructing Masque 

I'm not going to lie here but I am still yet to try out this sample. I am all for reconstructing masque's as I use a lot of heat on my hair so a product that promises to transform my hair from lacklustre to luscious is a winner for me. However this product does smell lovely 

and I can't wait to try it out on my next pamper night. 

The other item in the box was a little set of colouring in pencils to use on the lid which I think is a nice little touch. 

Overall I am very pleased with this month's box and it has got me in the mood for the hopefully a very hot summer and I can't wait for next month's box. 

Love Francesca.
