Birchbox UK Review & Unboxing March 2013

With Mothers day in the UK being March 10th this months box has the theme of Role Models. I personally don't celebrate mothers day (due to my mums request not because Im a horrible daughter or anything) but anyway the box was a pretty good one this month :)

The Products!! some yummy treats taking up most of this photo lol

Laura Geller - Inkwell Waterproof Gel Liner. Price: £24.50

I have a few Laura Geller Products from a giveaway I won on YouTube last year and I do really like them I think they are kind of over priced for what they are I mean I would never pay £24.50 for a Gel eyeliner, MAC's Fluid Lines are only £14 so £24.50 is crazy to me. Anyway back to the product haha Great product to be getting in a box and will use it pretty regularly :)

Molton Brown - Valbonne Fragrance. Price: £65

I love that we are getting more and more perfume samples in the boxes but this really isn't my scent at all not a huge fan.

RMK - Cleansing Balm. Price: £29

When I first got this I had no idea what I was meant to do with it but since reading up on it it makes a little bit more sense. For those like me who have/had no idea what the little fella was meant for it apparently mean for taking your makeup off, once it makes contact with your skin it turns into a liquid. It is said that "The Rose scented balm echoes your mum or grandmother's cold cream" I look forward to trying it it smells pretty good :)

La Sultane De Saba - Body Lotion with Argan Oil. Price £26.50

Im not really a massive body lotion kind of person only because I forgot to put it on. This smell pretty strong to me but I think I will def use it when I travel, its always great to have a something like this when flying :) I love the packaging design thought very cute.

Yu-Be - Moisturizing Skin Cream. Price: £19.50

This little thing is the best seller in Japan from 1957, I have used from Japanese/Korean skin products in the past and they have been pretty good so I have high hopes for this cream. Its meant ti leave skin super soft I think I will hold of on using it until I get a really dry patch to see how this really works. 

 *BEAUTY EXTRA*

Sanctuary - 30 Day Thermal Transformation Mask. Price: £27.50

I'm a big lover of face masks and this comes with a Clay mask in the little sample pack which is hands down my fav. I really cant wait to try this I am well over due for a proper clay mask :)

*LIFESTYLE EXTRA*

Lindt - Lindor Heart Tin Filled with Chocolate Truffles. Price: 2.99

Ok so these are my FAVORITE Chocolates ever!!! I get them every Christmas and that's the only time I eat them but OMG they taste amazing!! I recently tried the white chocolate ones to but anything by Lindor is to die for.

So that was March Birchbox very happy with it and it was a pretty good box. I hope we have plenty more great boxes to come.

GlossyBox Unboxing & Review March 2013

So this came is super super early this month I was surprised to see it when I came home from work the other day!! Oh and also I am actually going to be releasing the blog  post and the youtube video at the same time that never freaking happens haha

 This months box I think was meant to be centred all around travel so we got a little travel beauty booklet along with the regular product sheet.

The products! they all turned out to be pink, black and red with the packaging pretty cute!!

Elizabeth Arden - Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant (Fragrance Free). Price: £25 for 50ml - Boots

When I saw this I thought wow this will be perfect for when I fly its a great sample size so I can carry it on the plane with me. When I travel its normally a 30 + hour day and I am on plane for around 10 hours so after that my skin always feels a little dry. The balm can be used to "refresh jet lagged skin, shape brows, revitalise shine, soothe dry hands & chapped lips, smooth cuticles and nail" so as you can see its a jack of all trades it pretty much does everything!! Its a very thick consistency so it will be interesting to see how this really works.

Nails Inc - St. James. Price: £11 for 10ml - Nailsinc.com

I am a HUGE nail Polish junkie so this is great and the colour for me is a perfect toe colour :) I personally never understood the hype around Nailsinc but great product for me.

Juicy Couture - Couture La La. Price: £63 for 100ml - Debenhams or Boots

For months I have been wanting to try a Juicy Couture Perfume I keep seeing the massive bottles in TK Maxx but never wanted to pay for a full bottle I might not like the smell of but let me tell you OMG I Love it! seriously best thing I have smelt in a long time I will be purchasing the full size very soon.

Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics - Lip Blush. Price: £12 - 2.5g - Jellypongpong.com

I have recently become a lip junkie so I love to receive lip products in these boxes I just wish it was in a shade I wore I am strictly pinks and Nudes thats only because I just don't suit any other colours. I do think I will give this a try though I mean why not I hope it isn't to over the top.

TRESemme Salon Finnish Extra Hold Hairspray. Price: £4.69 for 500ml - Tresemme.co.uk

I'm not really a huge hair spray user I honestly couldn't tell you when I last actually used any but it will be interesting to see how firm the hold of it is and if it makes my hair crunchy.

Overall I was super impressed with this months box they have been really great recently. Hopefully I don't jinx this and get a crappy box next month.
