We Love Your Style! - Birchbox February 2014

I know this post is a little later than usual, but I did have a little issue with this month's box. When it first arrived I found that one of the products had actually smashed during delivery and there were bits of broken glass everywhere and oil had leaked over all of the other products :( 

I emailed Birchbox and they agreed to send me a whole new box and also credited my account with 50 beauty points (worth £5) so I was really pleased with the customer service, and within a week my new box had arrived, here's what was inside....



Beauty Protector Protect & Oil - This is actually the product that smashed in the first box so clearly not the best packaging but I do love a good hair oil so this will be put to good use! A full size retails for £16

Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner - This eyeliner has a pen tip to ensure a tidy line for your feline flick. It is very black and very easy to use. This retails for £12

Gilchrist & Soames The London Collection Shower Gel - This is a paraben-free formula with all sorts of lovely ingredients to nourish the skin. I can't put my finger on what it smells like, but it is lovely and fresh. I'm going away for a weekend next month so I'll be saving this for then as it's the perfect travel size. This retails for £13.75 a bottle

Urbanveda Radiance Exfoliating Facial Polish - A gentle exfoliator packed with super-fruits which retails for £8.99. This has no parabens and no GM ingredients, so is nice and natural for your skin. 

Leighton Denny Nail Colour - As I received 2 boxes this month I was lucky enough to receive this nail polish in 2 different shades. I have 'Maneater' a deep black colour and 'Meet Me in Monaco' which is a pastel peach colour. These retail for £11 each.

And finally, as always there is a little lifestyle extra - Green & Blacks Dark Chocolate - I'm not a fan of dark chocolate, but I'm sure I can find someone to enjoy it!


What do you think of this months box? Let me know in the comments below....

    You don't say how much the box costs in your post (I'm a bit clueless and don't know myself) but the products look great quality and like they would all really come in handy.

      Birchbox costs £10 a month plus £2.95 P&P, I don't mention costs every month as I don't want each post sounding too repetitive x

      Totally understand that! I end up giving away half of the stuff I receive in my boxes! I still love it though! x
