Birchbox: March 2017 Unboxing & Review

Why hello there! Oh boy do I have a treat for you today, I'm bringing to your screens a lil' March Birchbox, which I honestly think might just be my favourite Birchbox I have ever had the pleasure of receiving! The brands are pretty incred lemme tell ya' including Benefit, Korres and Bobbi Brown! Yup, seriously! If you didn't fancy picking up this months box, you will now!

Korres - Santorini Shower Gel

I am a bit of a snob when it comes to Shower Gel - I like to take make the time I spend in the shower a little get-away, so I am always reaching for my favourite gels such as ones from Lush, or my favourite NUXE shower oil. When I spotted a KORRES shower gel in this months box I was so excited to try it! I have only ever heard good things about the brand, and the packaging is super minimal and sleek. The first thing to point out is the SMELL - oh my oh my, I can see why they have called is Santorini as I am able to close my eyes and pretend I am somewhere exotic! A little goes a long way and it didn't irritate my sensitive skin. Overall it's a strong 9/10 for me and I can see myself repurchasing this in the future.

Batiste - Invisible Dry Shampoo & Conditioner

This was the only product in this months box that I was little disappointed with - I want to start by saying that I LOVE Batiste dry shampoo and I'm forever repurchasing it! However the added conditioner doesn't seem to work, well not for me anyway. If I am completely honest, when I tried it out, it actually seemed to make my hair look greasy - which is obviously the opposite of what I wanted it to do. However it smelt amazing, possibly my favourite scent from Batiste, but I will just be sticking to the original Dry Shampoo with out the conditioner.

Benefit - They're Real - Double The Lip

I wasn't too sure how I felt about these lip liner/lipsticks when I first saw them advertised, but I was certainly eager to give them a try - and therefore pleased to see one in this months box. My shade was fuchsia fever, which to be honest isn't really a shade I would have gone for, but I tested out the formula anyway. I found it easy to apply however the darker lip-liner section was a little to harsh for me and I rubbed my lips together a fair bit to make it look a bit more natural. The formula was long-lasting and comfortable to wear. I think its hard for me to give a good review with this shade as it didn't really suit me, I am thinking about picking up the nude shade Nude Scandal - so I can test them out properly!

Bobbi Brown Masque Set x 3

Possibly the most exciting thing I have seen in a beauty box for a while - HOW ADORABLE are these cuties!! I got 3 mini Bobbi Brown face masques in this months box, and they are honestly almost to cute to use - does anyone else have this problem of not wanting to use things with nice packaging?! The set comes with 3 different types of Masques - Radiance Boost, Skin Nourish and Instant Detox. I am SO excited to use them all, and maybe I will even try some of that multi-masking and use all 3 at once! If you have ever tried any of them I'd love to hear - I've not tried Bobbi Brown skincare before so I am excited to see the results! Face mask night, coming soon! 
The Full sized masques are £33.00 each and are available fromJohn Lewis

Balance Me Instant Lift Primer

I haven't really used this Primer enough to be able to give you a full review, however I have been liking what I have been seeing so far. The primer works well to prep the skin for make-up and I find my foundation sits nicely on top of it. Unlike the rest of my un-scented primers, this has a nice citrus scent, which at first was a worry because of my sensitive skin, but it didn't seem to effect it one bit! Looking forward to continue using it.

What are your thoughts on the March Birchbox?! If you fancy picking up for yourself you can do so HERE. How can you resist the adorable Bobbi Brown minis!?

I'm so glad I'm not alone with th Batiste dry shampoo, I found it made my hair super greasy too! :/ it seems like such a good idea but it just didn't work!

The rest of the products look great, especially the new Benefit lipstick!

Oh em gee - your photos are literally every goal I've ever had in my life. SO BEAUTIFUL!

Some useful products in this month's Birchbox actually - I cancelled my subscription as I thought it had got a bit shit, but they've definitely stepped up their game since then!

I'm with you on the benefit lipsticks. They look great and I haven't tried them but I'm skeptical. I don't think you can beat a separate lipliner xx

I haven't had a Birchbox in so long! I used to love them but went off them as the products didn't seem to be much use to me! I LOVE the look of this box thought - the products look amazing, I think I would use them all out of this box haha! I may have to subscribe again and give it a whirl! The Bobbi Brown mini's look so cute! PS YOUR PHOTOS ARE GOAAAAALS! Great post beauts xxx
