July's Birchbag!

Well July's birchbox or should I say Birchbag is finally here and I must say it was definitely worth the wait.

For the first time ever the classic Birchbox has been replaced with a splash-proof clutch and I am totally loving the idea of the bag as I will definitely be taking this on my holidays next week where I will be storing all my poolside essentials. The bags come in four different colours each representing favourite holiday destinations chosen by the editors of the most elite magazines in the Uk. The editions are; Coral representing St.tropez, Turquoise representing Hydra, Neon Pink being Ibiza of course and lastly my yellow bag which is representing Somerset.

For the first time this month I actually like all of the products sent and I will be taking them on my vacation with me, as they are a handy size, and unfortunately for my mam none of the products will be going in the box that I have been collecting for her full of the items that I don't like.

1. Benefit Dream Screen £25 
The first product is from one of my favourite brands Benefit and this is an ultra lightweight, matte-finish sunscreen for your face with a SPF of 45!! This will keep your complexion hydrated while soaking up the sun. Since being prescribed face cream from my doctor my face needs extra protection from the sun so this little handy 6ml bottle will be great to carry around and top up throughout the day.

2. UNANI Aloe Vera Gel £15 
I don't think I have heard of this brand before but I was very excited to use this Aloe Vera Gel. I have heard that aloe vera is very good for soothing burned skin so after a day in the sun this will come in great for when I am abit sore and it is also great for blemishes which is also very good.

3. POP Beauty Eyeshadow Trio In Peach Parfait £15.50 
This is the perfect little trio of eyeshadows the peach colours will really compliment a summer glowing complexion. The pigmentation is really good and the colours blend nicely. The first eyeshadow is great for highlighting the inner corner of your eyes.

4. Cowshed Cow Pat Hand Cream £18 
I'm really starting to get into this brand, all their products smell amazing!! So when I saw this sitting in the bag I grabbed it straight away to try and smell of course and I was not disappointed. This hand cream is packed with essential oils of grapefruit to uplift and coriander to soothe. This will be coming in my hand luggage with me as I always feel like I need a bit of a pamper whilst on a flight.

5. Balance Me Congested Skin Serum £16 
I will be using this product on the run up to my holidays to prevent my skin from further breakouts as this serum restores the balance. It's loaded with chamomile, lavender and aloe vera to pinpoint the breakout and to soothe.

6. Barely Prep, Blot & Blend Sponge £5.99 
This being the only full size product this month I was not as excited to use this product as I prefer to use brushes to apply my make up. However this sponge is for perfecting your base, such as to smooth on your daily skincare or primer to prep the skin for make-up.


This month's Birchbox has got me even more excited and prepared for my holiday so Thanks Birchbox!
