I love coming home from work to find a brand new Birch Box
on my doorstep! I’ve done pretty well at keeping my self spoiler free too so
it’s generally always a surprise what’s inside. This month was no different,
and knowing Spring is in full swing now, I was expecting some Spring-tastic
goodies.
This month, the Birch Box team are taking inspiration from
local food markets and kitchens to come up with a box that’s, good enough to eat. From foodie scents
to indulgent elements, the contents of this months box are sure to get your
mouth watering and your taste buds tingling.
So, now that I’ve got you thoroughly salivating, lets have a
look inside at Aprils Birch Box UK goodies!
The Balm Cosmetics How ‘Bout them Apples? Cheek & Lip Cream
So not only is the packaging to die for, but the shade I
received, pie, is oh so pretty
indeed! This creamy lip & cheek balm is perfect. It’s also the perfect size
too, for traveling and days out. I’m not the biggest fan of cream blush but as
a lip colour I love it. The pink really pops on the lips, and a quick coat of
clear gloss finishes a perfect Spring lip! It feels lovely on too!
RMK make-up base
Not a brand I’m familiar with, this pearlescent light weight
formula evens and hydrates the skin prior to applying foundation. I’ve yet to
give it a full test drive but on the surface it seems really hydrating and
smells quite nice too! Will it replace my Laura Mercier primer though?
Club Colour Gala’s Gems nail polish
Based on a collaboration with London
based Spanish blogger, Gala Gonzalez, I received the shade Heirloom Pearls from the 4 shades available. Now, this isn’t a
shade I would have picked out for myself, the blues and greens caught my eye,
but after a quick test coat I’m intrigued. It’s a very white polish that
doesn’t have half as much shimmer in as you would think, but I kind of like it.
I’ve never been a fan of white nail polish but this one does look very pretty
in the sunshine.
Laura Mercier Crème Brûlée body butter
I won’t lie, I squeal every time I find a little Laura
Mercier goodie in my Birch Box, and I’ve been lucky to pick up quite a few over
the last few months. I’m also wondering…are the Birch Box team sneakily reading
my blog? I’m in love with Crème
Brûlée right now, it’s my favorite dessert and this body cream smells exactly like it. This sample sized body
butter is perfect for my up coming trip – it’s gone straight out of my Birch
Box and into my suitcase!
Yin Yang skin cleanser
Not a brand I’m familiar with and usually I’m less than
impressed with sample cleansers but I have to say, this one smells amazing and
feels lovely on the skin. It’s an all natural skin balancing cleanser
containing coconut, sweet orange and wheat germ oils. I also love that it’s
British made too. Will be giving this a try and reporting back!
Propercorn sweet coconut and vanilla
I loved my last sample bag of Propercorn and have picked it
up a few times in the supermarket since. I'm munching on this as I write and it's delicious! Full of flavor, it tastes like summer! I will have to pick up some more of this!
