hi and welcome to the first of my Birchbox openings this is the June Birchbox
but it's the french Birchbox
the company that I originally had a subscription with was the
company Joliebox and they have been bought over by Birchbox
this is the first month it's actually come in a Birchbox box with all these
nice chevron prints on it
we've got the paper with the B
which is probably explaining, yep
it's explaining all the change (all in french there)
and we have the magazine
which I wil peruse later on
and the box, ooh it's a little brown box
it's a little brown Birchbox box
usually the Jolieboxes were black with kind of like a print, I'm looking around
to see if I have any
probably somewhere, well...
anyway they were black boxes and now it's a brown birchbox (so let's open it up)
chevron again (like it, ok)
so we've got the little card which I'm not going to look too much at at the tonight
beginning because I don't want to spoil it
ooh it's like a little white and green
pouch the Joliebox was a little black pouch
this is a little green
and kind of oatmealy coloured, oh it's nice
everything looks a bit mint, mint and green and...yeah it's nice
so the first thing i see is this big package (i guess)
and it says June 2013, the B for Birchbox
inside is a nail varnish, is it the same as that one? yep
looks like we have a double
so is it the same colour? yep
it is a colour club professional nail laquer in
'mod in manhattan' and there's two of them
I'm guessing one is to share, let's have a look in the little box
it's like a....it's from the wonderlust collection
the next thing that I see is the is ducray laboratories
don't know the
brand
so it's just a body, body milk i guess, protective body
yeah it's just like a little lotion, ok, yeah (I'll have to have a little look at that)
it's for normal and dry skin, so that's good
the next thing I see is white
cashmere
day cream, so it's like this
like a little
little tube
probably
doesn't smell of much (hold on)
yeah, it's just a
a light day cream I think
blanc cachemire
white cashmere
never heard of it either
BC.201
ok we have some rahua
shampoo and conditioner, it's volumizing so that's good for me
beauty is power, oh and it tells you how to spell it
well how to say it phonetically RA-WA
it's just RA-WA not rahua
there we go, never heard of them either
ok next i have a nice
big sized lip gloss
kind of em...
first thing i notice is
sparkles, I'm not
so keen on the sparkles but em...
it's from model co...oh cool there's a little mirror on it
there's a little mirror on it
I don't know if you can see that very well, there you go
it's a nice kind of peachy corally colour and the colour is
it's an ultra shine
lip gloss in strip tease
from Model Co
just like a doe foot applicator...oh!
now THAT smells nice
it smells like
Haribos, like the strawberry ones of Haribo
mmmmm....
I'll try that on later....ah I want to smell more
and in the...
in the end of it
there's just like...in the bottom
we have
destination canon 'en route pour le voyage'
so it's like, ok
postcards, Birchbox
new york paris london and barcelona
postcards so yeah i guess i'll get use out of these
'hello' 'bonjour'
'cheers' and 'hola' yep
they're cute so we have
what seems to me to be 2
full-size, I guess that's full-size for the nail varnish
and that's probably definately full-size with the mirror and everything
erm...this
freebie from Birchbox, I'm guessing that's the freebie
I'm guessing this is in the place of the other freebie but it's kinda cool 'cos it's a
full-size and it's for a friend so
that's always nice
we have the
body lotion
and the face cream
oh no it's not taking the place of the freebie 'cos this is the other freebie
so we've still got the one two three
four
four products and two freebies and yeah that's taking the place of the fifth product, am i right?
1,2,3,4,5 yep, so you've got the five products and the two freebies, one of your five products
is actually a double to share
so i think that's pretty good. i'm quite impressed with this Birchbox
it's the first one i've ever had
I am actually quite
em...quite interested to see if it resembles
the Birchbox in the US. I'll probably be doing these each month
let me know in the comments if you enjoyed it, if you have any suggestions for
me
i will probably review a few of these products on my blog
all the links to everything will be down below
facebook, blog
etc...will all be down below so em...
I'll see you next time, thank you, bye!
