serum
The theme of the September beauty box from Birchbox is Happy Days and it is filled with goodies to remind you of happy summer days. I’m delighted because quite a few of this month’s samples are perfect for my hospital bag!
Benefit It’s Potent! Eye Cream: This dinky pot is just ideal for going in my hospital bag! The cream is said to banish dark circles and smooth fine lines, so something I will definitely need after giving birth.
Korres Citrus Shower Gel: A generous mini bottle of this gorgeous and refreshing shower gel that has gone straight into my hospital bag. I’m wondering if it will double up as a shampoo as well, as Korres products tend to be quite gentle.
ModelCo Power Lash Mascara: Yep, you’ve guessed it, it’s in my hospital bag! I quite like ModelCo make-up and this promises intensely black, lengthened lashes.
Skin & Co Truffle Therapy Serum: I instantly thought of chocolate truffles, obviously that’s not what they meant! Offering protection from free radicals, improved skin firmness and a healthy glow, I’ll look forward to trying this out in my evening routine.
Agave Healing Oil Treatment: I love hair oils, although have never heard of this one. It’s a small sample but with oils a little usually goes a long way. I have popped it into my hospital bag!
Urban Fruit Magnificent Mango: Confession: I struggle to get Little N to eat fruit. However he LOVED these. So, I’m assuming they were delicious, I didn’t get a look in!
Happy Days Photo Clip: I thought this was a sweet little extra, I just need to choose a favourite photo to put in it.
I’m pretty happy with this month’s box, particularly as it has meant I have ticked off a few items from my hospital bag list! What do you think? If you like the look of it and want to sign up, please feel free to use my referral link: http://birchbox.co.uk/?raf=674. You’ll get 50 Birchbox points, equivalent to £5! The box costs £10 per month plus p+p.

Stash raiding is such a good way of using up those little samples that I seem to have a never-ending collection of.

Stash raiding is such a good way of using up those little samples that I seem to have a never-ending collection of.
If I had to choose only one beauty box this month, then it would have to be the Betrousse Absolutely Fabulous beauty box. This box is one of five currently available from Betrousse; it contains six luxurious products worth a total of £119 and is available for only £19 plus shipping! This is the third box I’ve received from Betrousse and it is by far my favourite.
The Absolutely Fabulous box contains six gorgeous luxury products to pamper you during the party season:
Organic Surge Pure & Clean Face Wash: I often see Organic Surge products mentioned on other blogs but I’ve never tried them myself. This gentle, foaming face wash is perfect for my AM cleanse especially with its invigorating lemony scent. (200ml/£5.49)
LEOR Facial Exfoliate Creme: I’d never heard of LEOR before, they seem to be a relatively new British skincare brand. This creme contains smooth pumice to exfoliate and smells of heavenly lavender. (100g/£11)
Duck Island Mandarin & Bergamot Shampoo: The packaging of this reminds me so much of Molton Brown products, it has a real luxury feel and smells beautiful. I can’t wait to try it! (250ml/£14.98)
Helenere Hedelweiss Intensive Serum: Helenere is a Swiss brand and was totally new to me before receiving this beauty box. Containing edelweiss extracts, this serum is intensively repairing and hydrating. Just what I need during this cold weather. (15ml/£32)
Helenere Heidelweiss 24H Cream: Like the serum, this cream contains extracts of edelweiss and stimulates cellular respiration, prevents loss of moisture and fights against harmful exterior agents and UV rays. (30ml/£30)
Spa Find Sculpted Silhouette Inchwrap Firming Gel: I’m a bit of a sceptic when it comes to gels and creams that claim to burn fat and tighten skin – I think you can only change your body with diet and exercise (or surgery!) - but I do think products like this can help the skin’s appearance which in turn helps those lumpy bits look better. Maybe I should do a trial and take a before and after photo, what do you think? (250ml/£25.30)
I really think Betrousse have nailed it with this box, it is unbelievably good value for money and the brands are a great mix of well-known and new ones. I love that you get full-sized products and, whilst I love the surprise element of other beauty boxes, I think it’s great that you can see what’s going to be in your box before ordering.
If you like the look of this beauty box then simply head over to the Betrousse website for more information: http://www.betrousse.com
Disclosure: I received the Betrousse Absolutely Fabulous beauty box for free for review, however all thoughts and opinion remain my own. With thanks to Betrousse for the sample.
