UK Birchbox for January 2014...

I got this months Birchbox through the post a couple of days ago. I am happy with the most of the products I received and can't wait to use/try them but I was disappointed that they send me a repeat item from my August Birchbox and there was a product I really don't like in there too which I have gotten in a box before but I cant remember if it was Birchbox or another one of the subscription boxes I get.

 

Here's what was in January 2014 UK Birchbox, the theme for this month is Tiny Tweaks..

 

First thing I saw was a product Birchbox had already told us every one was getting.  It was a mini sized Benefit Porefessional (7.5ml). I love this product!! I use it every single day under my make up and even on days where I decide not to wear any at all. It reduces the size of my pores and it makes my skin silky smooth. This holds my foundation pretty well too and doesn't make my skin any oilier than it already gets without any product ect on it.

 

Second there was Derlarom Acquaconfort Mask, this is a smooth hydrating mask to nourish skin and restore suppleness and vitality. I can't wait to try this mask out, I think I might replace my usual Sunday face mask with this one to try it out. It says to apply it to clean skin, leave on for 5-10 mins then wipe off.

 

Third there was Rodial Glamtox Night. This is a super-hydrating night time gel moisturiser is mean tot smooth out your complexion and plump fine lines. I can't wait to try this out once my current night time moisturiser is finished. The only thing I am not to keen on is the scent, it's very floral but it does calm down after 5 mins.

 

Next I saw Premae Anatomy Nutrients Instant Renewal Body Oil. This is meant to moisturise, tone and detoxify your skin. It is a natural and allergy tested body oil. You apply this to clean skin after a bath or shower to nourish and rehydrate your skin. I used this yesterday and my skin was so smooth after using it, I applied it to damp skin.

 

The fifth thing I seen I was disappointed with. Its the Philip Kingsley Elasticizer. This hair mask strengthens, nourishes and prevents breakage. You work it through damp hair, let it sit for 20 mins then shampoo and condition your hair as usual. I tried this product the last time I received it and I didn't like it at all. It made my scalp very itchy and after I had shampooed and conditioned my hair as normal I didn't notice any difference to my hair either?

 

Then lastly in the box was something I received in my august box and I wasn't very happy with it the first time round, never mind a second time. It is the Birchbox Eye Mask. Its a gel filled mask that is designed to cool the eye area and decrease the puffiness around the eye. I have quite sensitive eyes so when I put stuff like this over them they water like crazy and sting like mad because it's cold.

 

Over all I rate this box 7 out of 10.
