Birchbox - December 2014

I've been a little bit worried that the Christmas Birchbox wouldn't live up to my expectations. You always expect it to be the best box of the year and I know when I've been subscribed to beauty boxes in the part, I've been left feeling a little disappointed. However, Birchbox has done really well with their December box and I'm really pleased with the contents. The design of the box, a collaboration with Sophia Webster, is lovely, though I was expecting something a little more festive.

Birchbox - November 2014

This month's Birchbox theme is "Cosy at Home", to get us all set for those cold winter evenings where we'd rather snuggle up under the duvet than venture outside, They've kept to the theme very well, on the whole, this month with some great little pampering products, And what's really great is there were two full size products in my box this time. I may be wrong, but I don't think that's happened before. If it has, they certainly weren't this good...

Birchbox - October 2014

This post is a little late in coming to you, as my Birchbox got to me a bit late this month. I then had a few internet issues over the weekend, as you can see there was no post at all from me yesterday! Ah well, it's better late than never I guess. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, so Birchbox have teamed up CoppaFeel to provide you with information on how to check your breasts and spot the early signs of cancer, as well as providing your beauty goodies in this cute pink zip-up bag.

Birchbox - September 2014

When I came home this afternoon and discovered my Birchbox had arrived, I was so excited when I saw the design of this month's box. How cute is that?! Normally I just throw my boxes in the recycling bin as they're quite plain and boring, but I think I might keep this one for storage...of what I'm not quite sure, but I'll find something! And Birchbox are back on top form this month - "Happy Days" is certainly what I was thinking whilst I rummaged through the contents.

Birchbox - August 2014

I've been pretty disappointed with my last two Birchboxes and was considering cancelling my subscription after this month's box if things didn't improve. Luckily Birchbox appear to have redeemed themselves a little this month, so they live to see another month on my blog!

Birchbox - July 2014

Last month's Birchbox was a major let-down so I was hoping that they would be redeeming themselves this month. Although this one is slightly better, there's not really anything in the box that excited me much. Saying that, there are at least a few products that I will use this time.

Birchbox - June 2014

After quite possibly the best box ever last month, it was always going to be hard for June's box to live up to, but I wasn't expecting to be quite this disappointed. After seeing a few good reviews of this World Cup themed box whilst I was on my holiday, I was looking forward to getting back to mine - unfortunately it didn't turn up until almost a week after my return (another disappointment as I knew so many people had already received theirs days before), but I thought it was going to be worth the wait. Unfortunately everyone's got to get the dud box at some point, and I guess this month was my turn!

Birchbox - May 2014

Oh. My. God. This month's Birchbox is without a doubt the best beauty box I have ever received. I've recently got back from shopping this afternoon to find my box waiting for me, and I had to share it with you asap, so apologies if the lighting in the pictures is not the best, but it's pretty miserable outside today! This month's box is a collaboration with Harper's Bazaar. First off, the packaging is so, so pretty and when I opened up the box, I was so impressed with it's contents - Birchbox have done good this month, very good!

Birchbox - April 2014

I have had a pretty bad week this week (and to top it all off my laptop has gone to laptop-hospital today - boohoo) but my latest Birchbox arriving earlier than I was expecting on Friday did cheer me up a little - small things, eh? Although I was pretty happy with most of the items I received this month, I have had a little grumble over the sizes of some of the products, namely the makeup products.

Birchbox - March 2014

It's that time of month again - my Birchbox has arrived! This month's box was a collaboration with British brand Lulu Guinness, hence the special edition packaging. Unfortunately it was just a sleeve, and the box inside was exactly the same as every month, but it was pretty nonetheless. I'd seen a few reviews for this month already, and some people were a little disappointed, but I'm pretty happy with the contents of mine. I guess people were just looking for a little something extra from a special edition box, which it was lacking. You did, however, receive £20 off a £100 Lulu Guinness purchase in March, which was a nice little perk.

Birchbox - February 2014

My second Birchbox arrived towards the end of last week, this time with no issues and I have to say I was very impressed with the speed of the delivery. I'd been a good girl this month and not looked at any of the Facebook and Twitter spoilers, so everything in my box was a complete surprise to me this time around.

Birchbox - January 2014

I'd seen so many blog posts and videos over the past couple of months from people who had subscribed to Birchbox and I have to admit I was a little jealous of some of the goodies they were receiving. I'd been subscribed to Glossybox in the past but unfortunately felt like I had to cancel due to too many disappointing boxes. But after a while I began to miss my monthly supply of sample beauty products and wanted to give something else ago. So, after a few months of taking a nosey at other peoples boxes and liking what I saw, I took the plunge and bought my own.
