Birchbox is an American box which took over Joliebox UK and if you ask me, just as well as Joliebox didn't really live up to my expectations for the last 2-3 months.
As to how the boxes work, you know the drill already...you pay £10 + p&p and you get a selection of beauty samples every month.
Teapigs peppermint tea (sample worth £0.60): Even though this is a beauty box, they do also include a lifestyle sample and I do like that. I love herbal tea and this seems to be a nice, flavourful one so I'll definitely be looking for it in the shops.
KMS blow dry spray (30ml sample worth £1.30): I used KMS brand before and was very happy with the products. This is a blow drying spray which helps protect and condition your hair.
TAAJ hand cream (30ml sample worth £2.43): I'm very picky about hand creams and have tried a lot of them, but none comes even close to my trusty supermarket bought Neutrogena. This one smells nice and absorbs quickly, but again, I doubt it'll be replacing Neutrogena.
WEI eye cream (2ml sample worth £8.50): This is definitely on a more expensive side, but it promises to diminish your crow's feet and that's a-OK by me. I have used WEI serum before and it's amazing stuff. So much so that I had to rush out and buy it. I have no doubt it'll be the same with this eye cream.
Fresh Sugar Rose lip treatment (2.2 g sample worth £3): Tinted lip moisturiser with an added bonus of SPF 15. It makes your lips super soft and it has a nice, natural tint to it. Lovely product.
The products in the box were worth £15.80 so not all that much more than what you pay, but all the products are from great brands and I'm really happy with them. My only gripe is that a tea sample could have been a bit bigger, but then again I'm a complete teaholic so I would say that.
Can't wait for the next box.

Ok Kiki I'm gonna leave a comment! I think people appreciate reviews, they just don't have much to add
to the conversation- ya know? so keep it up! I def value an honest appraisal and opinion.
I actually like your beauty box posts - I actually pay attention and that's saying something for a girl who doesn't wear makeup! I think you're pretty honest so I think you'd say if something really worked or not. Keep going please.
By the way - did you only get one teabag? That's a bit mean.
It's so interesting to see what's in the beauty box (as I've never gotten it), so please keep posting! I really respect who tries new beauty products
constantly.. I should do at least from time to time. The tea looks cute, by the way :) xo akiko

Haha, I'm a teaholic too! The value isn't super high but I think the brands make up for it, definitely :)

@bella, yes, you're right. I think there's not much to add to a review. It's a strange one for me...these types of posts always generate the least amount of comments and the biggest read numbers. Oh well. As lOng as people read them...
@sue...yes, just one. Very mean. Now I have to do with my cupboard teas. Hmmmpf
@lela...yes. Glossybox value was higher this month yet I wasn't super happy with the selection of products. They were ok, but just ok. Birchbox was a better bOx for me this mOnth

I know what you're saying. those beauty box posts really gather A LOT of views, doesn't even matter how old those posts are. well and you know I always love those posts in your blog because Estonian boxes are not that awesome and I STILL haven't ordered our Adorebox. I'm always struggling about it.

The Sugar lip treatment is THE BEST lip balm/stain, ever. You have such a great collection of beauty products. Idk if you've already done this, but I'd love to see your makeup organization system. I bet that post would be really popular.
I never subscribe to Birchbox or things like that because I'm not a fan of the 'surprise element' when it comes to my beauty regime (which is basically the simplest thing ever), but it seems like a good selection this time around!
