February Birchbox Unboxing!


Helloooo my lovely people! 
Today I have something exciting for you, which is an on-going blog 'series' of mine, if you will, I have another Birchbox Review!! *dances*
If you don't fancy reading all this, I made a YouTube video on my channel unboxing it! Have a watch!

I recieved my box on Valentine's Day, which was actually a really good day to get it on, because my partner is the one that so kindly buys me these boxes and the last one came before my birthday, and this one on a special day, too! 


I couldn't wait to get into my box, I was actually really excited to see what colour I'd gotten, hahah, typical me! Because you got one of three, blue, purple & pink (if I'm not mistaken!) Obviously, as you can tell by everything I own, I would have loved a purple one - but my second favourite colour is blue, so this still bodes well with me... but the contents is the most important part of itall really, isn't it?! 
They are carrying on with their theme of "Best Year Ever", following on from the January Birchbox and I really think that this box is something special. The detailing and the little things are so lovely, the quote on the front is so positive and just something to make you smile! Also, you can use this as a storage holder like i said in my previous blog, & I 100% will be doing that with this one! What a keeper! 



With all Birchboxes, the first thing you see when you open the box is a detailed leaflet which matches the box design, which tells you everything you'd ever need to know about what's inside your personalised box, how to use it, tips & tricks, and sneak peeks of the next month's box which they are already whipping up for us! Then you get the same bag that all your products come in - again - great for when you are going away for the weekend and need somewhere to hold all your hair-bits! 

This is my collection of items that I recieved, which are tailored to my needs that I wrote on their website when I first signed up, and oooo what a lovely bunch of items they are!


Number 4 - Lumiere d'Hiver Super Comb, Prep & Protect - TRAVEL SIZE | RRP £20
ANOTHER LEAVE IN CONDITIONER! Eeeek I am so happy we got another leave in conditioner! My hair is in such a terrible condition after bleaching it, and applying too my prodcuts (which I think is a thing btw), having it cut super short, which I am not happy about! My ends just need some TLC and this sweet smelling conditioner I feel like has my back. Or my hair. Yano. This nifty little bottle strengthens and repairs tired strands of poorly hair, along with de-tangling it and tames all those windy flyaways, without containing sulphates or parabens! I'm not too sure what that means but they're excited for it, so i am too. Just spritz this evenly over towel-dried or damp hair and you're good to go! 


Delarom - Créme Acquaconfort - TRAVEL SIZE | RRP £34
Goodies for your face! This is a cream with a really fancy name, as it's from or made in Paris as you can see, and I'm excited to try this! I am trying to step up with my skin care, as my skin on my face isn't my best friend at the worst of times, and moisturising is key! Sweet almond, apricot oils, vitamin A, C & E! In this tiny little bottle to make your sad looking skin look like it's glowing. This will soothe and nourish dehydrated skin without making it feel like you've moisturised. Use it after your cleanser and wait till it sinks in! 


LOC - One & Done Shadow Stick in PERFECT CENTS - FULL SIZE | RRP £8
Isn't this a beauty! Birchbox sent out an e-mail sometime in the midle of January asking their buyers which they'd rather prefer of this eyeshadow stick. You got one of two colours, Perfect Cents, which I got, and Champagne Problems - which I actually asked for as I don't think this colour will suit me at all, but Champagne Problems was obviously the more chosen one and I ended up with this - which I'm still really happy with and I'll find a way to make this work! Now, this says it's up to 11 hours of creaseless, waterproof colour in one handy stick, AND IT ACTUALLY IS! I tested this out for myself on my hand, and through washes, rubbings, and the daily grind this did NOT BUDGE off my hand, I was absolutel amazed! The pigmentation is unreal and I can only imagine how beautiful it would look on your lids. Pop this all over your lid and blend with your fingers for a quick-fix!



theBalm Cosmetics - Frat Boy Blush/Shadow - TRAVEL SIZE | RRP £15.50
Ooooo beautiful blushes, which have multiple uses! This teenie tiny little blush is the cutest thing I've ever seen, and such a beautiful blush colour which I think would suit all skin tones! I never know what colour blush suits me and what their names are etc, but I think this one is a winner for me - and is actually like my Benefit Rockatuer blush that I use every day! However tiny it may be, this packs a punch for pigmentation so just swirl it all over the apples of your cheeks for a rosy glow!

L.Erickson - Grab & Go Ponytail Holder - 1/15 | RRP £11.50 FOR A FULL SET
Who doesn't need a bobble?! This was such a cute touch to the box this month, and it is such good quality! It is so stretchy, so it is good for thin and thick hair a-like. It's so dainty and wll look good in all colours of hair, and is actually designed so that when you pull out your ponytail, no hair catches around the band which is MAGICAL! I am yet to test this out myself, but I always have my hair up everyday so this excites me very much. 


Spectrum Collections - Tapered Powder Brush - FULL SIZE | RRP £7.99
The moment we've alllll been waiting for! *drum roll please* A SPECTRUM BRUSH! Oh my goodness, the rumours are TRUE! These brushes are amazing" The quality is insane, from the bristles that are two of my favourite colours, to the metal light pink handle which feels so good in your hand when you're putting on your makeup. I can not express how soft this brush is, and it actually makes me never want to use it because I don't want to ruin it! I know you can get boxes and shell packs of these, but if you're not all that into makeup then just one is enough! They suggest you use this for powder, but you could use it for bronzer or contouring if that's your thing! Eeek, I am in love. You did good Birchbox.

So that is the end of the February Birchbox! They actually also gave out a necklace to one lucky customer that was worth £200, how lovely of them! The boxes keep getting better and I am so excited for next months already! Don't forget to check out my YouTube video on this if you want to get up close and personal with me and the products!

Leave a comment below if you got a Birchbox, and what did you get in it? I'd love to know!

Keep Smiling,
