Icons - Birchbox November 2013

This month Birchbox is all about inspirational icons... If you read my post on last months Birchbox you'll know I was extra excited for this months box as they had given a little spoiler that November would include another Laura Mercier product! 

Laura Mercier Body Butter - I've heard nothing but good things about this product so you can imagine the smile on my face when I saw it in my box! I received the Ambre Vanille scent which smells INCREDIBLE and feels amazing on the skin! Other boxes included a Fresh Fig scent but I'm really happy with the one I have. A full sized bottle would cost £26

Weleda Replenishing Oat Shampoo - An 18ml sample bottle targeting for dry and damaged hair, this shampoo contains jojoba oil to smooth hair, reduce breakage and improve suppleness. A full sized bottle would cost £8.95

Chella Highlighter Pencil - This is a really soft, well pigmented champagne tinted highlighter designed to brighten and add glow to your brow bone, cheekbones and inner corners of the eye. This is a full sized product which would cost £15.95

Lila'lli Line Define Fill - A plum coloured waterproof pencil to define eyes and lips. I personally wouldn't use this colour on the eyes, but it works as a nice autumnal lip shade. A full sized product which costs £10

English Laundry perfume sample - My first opinion on this product was that it was a very strange name for a perfume, described as having elegant notes of quince, jasmine petals and musk this scent is not for me. I personally think it smells a bit old lady-esque so this was my least favourite item in the box. A full size would cost £16

As always there were a couple of little extras included in the box. A Lifestyle Extra of a selection of different Pukka Herbs teas, and a Beauty Extra which was a Birchbox Pencil Sharpener.

Overall I wasn't blown away by this Birchbox, the best product was clearly the Laura Mercier cream and I did quite like the highlighter, but nothing else really stood out for me. What do you think of this months box? Let me know in the comments below...
