Birchbox is a popular monthly subscription box for beauty fans and their boxes come presented in beautiful pull-out drawer style boxes which are reusable and stackable. Each month’s box features a different design based on the overall theme of the contents, and you can expect around five beauty items to try out.
This month’s Birchbox is themed Fruity Beauty and contains the following:-
Dr Paw Paw Balm in Hot Pink (RRP £6.95)
The first product that I picked out of the box was this gorgeous Dr Paw Paw Balm in Hot Pink, a tinted moisturising balm that you can use to apply a pop of colour to lips and cheeks. I love multi-use products like this and think it would be great as a staple in anyone’s summer beauty bag!
Ciate London Watermelon Burst Hydrating Primer (travel size, full size retails for £24)
A juicy, water-based primer that’s suitable for vegans to use and is free from silicones. The moisturising jelly-like formula contains ingredients such as Vitamin E, Hyaluronic Acid, Watermelon extract and Witch Hazel to keep skin hydrated and smooth for the perfect base for makeup.
Polaar Sun Lotion SPF 50 (travel size, full size retails for £20.20)
This sun lotion from Polaar has a velvety texture that offers high UVA and UVB protection against sunburn and premature ageing. It’s water-resistant, light and non-greasy, plus it’s suitable for sensitive skin types so it’s another brilliant product to have in your travel bag this summer.
Beauty Pro Coconut Sheet Mask (RRP £4.95)
Treat your skin to Beauty Pro’s Coconut Sheet Mask and be rewarded with soft and silky skin in just 15 minutes! Infused with Coconut Oil, Vitamin E and essential Amino Acids, this vegan-friendly mask is made from 100% plant origin ingredients.
Philip Kingsley Body Building Shampoo (travel size, full size retails for £20)
The fifth and final product in this month’s Birchbox comes from bestselling haircare brand Philip Kingsley. This Body Building Shampoo is the ideal cure for fine, limp and flyaway prone hair as it contains Keratin Proteins to help improve and thicken each individual strand.
