BIRCHBOX October arrived - BACK to BASICS!

Hello again!




I don't know if you know what's Birchbox.

For those who don't know, it's a monthly beauty subscription, where each month you get a cute little box full of samples (usually one full product too!) from the most popular brands, but what's great there are many organic and natural brands which you have a chance to discover and try! It costs you £12.95 (with postage) which I think is great for what you get.
What's even better is the act that for every purchased box and reviewed sample you get points which then you can spend in the Birchbox store (believe me they have good brands - theBalm, Benefit, BeautyBlender and many more).


So basically for getting a beauty samples that you try you get points for your new beauty products - perfect for beauty lovers, isn't it?!


If that sounds interesting to you why not to go to www.birchbox.co.uk and get some more info about it!
I'm with them for almost 2.5 years now and so far I managed to get (using my points) 4 or 5 quite expensive for me (£20-£30) products, which I think is amazing!


This link will give you instant 5 to spend in Birchbox shop (50points), so why not to try?! :D CLICK!



So what I wanted to show you today is a this month's box, which has a BACK to BASICS theme. I liked the idea of it, which basically introduces products that seems essential, except all those things we THINK are essential because we got used to use them!

That's why I found in my box this month:

1. Bioderma Hydrabio H2O

I told you in my previous post that I tried Bioderma Micellar water in the past and it wasn't my favorite product. However the one I tried was Sensibio, pink version, for sensitive skin. This one is the Hydrabio version for more drier skin types, and I'm very interested in testing it. I recently finished my Bioderma Hydrabio Serum and I must say I really liked this product, although for now I don't plan to repurchase - I'm waiting for new products which I'll introduce to you here when they arrive!
So knowing the Bioderma Hydrabio range already I'm happy to try Micellar Water from the range too!

2. Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

Brilliant! This is the product I wanted to try for years and was always distracted from buying it. I know the hype on Youtube on this product and now I have chance to test myself :) This came as a full product worth £9, so basically nearly the price of the whole box (£10)! I don't have any fast drying top coat at the moment so I'm very very happy getting this - thank you Birchbox!

3. Eyeko Fat Liquid Eyeliner in Black

Another full product in this box and it doesn't happen often! I'm thrilled because all Eyeko products I had before were great and I really like this brand overall. It's good quality and you can also get their products in Birchbox shop using your points :) I won't be opening this eyeliner yet to safe it from drying, because I recently purchased L'Oreal Super Liner Perfect Slim Intense  (review soon on my blog!). This product is worth £12, so together with Seche Vite top coat it paid up the whole box!

4. Regenerate Enamel Science Advance Toothpaste

This is the first time when I get a toothpaste in my box ever. I'm usually not that much fan of getting such products, but recently I started to care more about the state of my teeth (which is not bad, but it can always be better!). I was diagnosed with a very early stage of periodontosis (sick!) and when I found out I was terrified. This toothpaste claim to restore enamel and boost original whiteness, so I'm happy to try it!

5. Beaver Hydro Nutritive Moisturizing Shampoo

The new for Birchbox brand founded in Germany. I never heard of them, but as their website says history of this brand is pretty long. I'm always happy to have another sample of shampoo, they're very handy when you travel, I don't pay that much attention to shampoo, as long as it cleanse my hair well and smells nice. I like shampoo to be natural as possible, but I also realized that the more natural shampoo (a lot of oils, no SLS, paraben, etc) the worse it cleanse my hair, which gets greasy very fast :(

6. Beaver Nutritive Moisturising Conditioner 

This product is a BONUS product (every box has one) and it's nice to have a conditioner along with the shampoo from the same brand! I think it makes more sense as you can get the most of products which complement each other. This conditioner is meant to be calming for frizzy hair, nourish and strengthen damaged hair - who hasn't got damaged hair?! Happy to test, because it's never enough of hair masks ;)


Yeah, that's my box this month, I think Birchbox did a good job, products are well selected and good quality. Two full sizes makes it great value and worth it!
