I'm sorry that it's pretty much the middle of February when I'm uploading this, but I have had a lot of things to do and I hadn't got round to it yet! Anyway, this post is all about Birchbox. For my birthday this year, my mum gave me a six month subscription to Birchbox. If you don't know what Birchbox is or you want to find out a little more about it, click here for more information.
January's box was a deep red with a photo collage printed on the lid. It is very sweet and has a lot going on.

Here are some little reviews of all the products I received:
£18.50 Full sized product
I use this all the time. I often just use it as a mascara for school as it has a really natural look to it but stays for the whole day. The small sample size is actually really convenient because I can just take it anywhere in my mini make-up bag. It goes really well with the Benefit They're Real! mascara, I don't actually own this but I'v heard really good things!
£8.50 Full sized product
This is honestly so amazing! I have never used something like this before but I'm glad I did. It's like a liquid soap when it comes out the bottle, then it turns to foam when it comes in contact with water. This is really good because you only need to use a little to get a good result. One problem though is that the top is quite hard to press down at times, resulting in it shooting across my bathroom at times!
£12.00 Full sized product
To be perfectly honest, I'm not that experienced with eye-liner. I have three but never use them. I have tried using them but it always looks like too much and not every well applied. I tried this and from what I can tell, it is a great product that is easily applied, even for me, and stays on for a long time too.
£27.00 Full sized product
I'm terrible at remembering to take off my make-up at the end of the day. I often forget, and even when I do remember, I never go to much effort. I used this make-up remover for a few days in a row and honestly it is really good. It removes pretty much everything, including eye make-up(which I normally find tricky).
£14.00 Full sized product
To be honest, I'm not the most productive person in the mornings. I don't have a lot of time in the morning, so my hair is usually the least of my worries. This product has made my hair a lot quicker and easier to brush & style. And it smells so good too!
£4.00 Full sized product
I'm not really sure how, but I managed to crack my mirror in the short amount of time I have had it. I don't know if this was because it is badly made of it was my fault, as I said, I'm not really sure how it happened, I just found it like that in my bag. I also don't think that Birchbox really considered it's target audience when choosing this product. It's quite a handy thing to have just in my cosmetic bag that I take to school, however it is easily damaged. I would never choose to buy it, but I'm glad I have got it.
