The days that follow Birchboxes landing on doorsteps nationwide are filled with great feedback from YOU – our amazing community – and we really love reading your comments, tweets, blog posts and seeing your pictures. The first boxes left our warehouse on Friday, so here are just a few highlights from December so far:
This months box featured a return of ‘Choose your sample,’ where each subscriber got to choose one of 4 shades of Models Own nail polish from the Velvet Goth range. Seeing as I already owned 2 of the choices, I picked Absinthe, a dark green, glitter filled shade. The next guaranteed sample came in the form of an adorably tiny Benefit cracker, with a miniature High Beam sample, a product I’ve been dying to try ever since I incorporated highlighter into my daily makeup. The Lash Line
The really cool thing about this box is the exclusive little zip-top purse designed by Sophia Webster. It retails for £10 on the site and it would fit your credit cards, coins and a lipstick in there, perfect for scaling-down your wallet if you’re carrying a clutch bag or just keeping change and chewing gum in one stylish place. Gemsmaquillage
I’m looking forward to trying the Electric Hair Hydrate Shampoo. This smells incredible (hard to describe, but very… salon-y if that makes sense?) and promises to repair damage and improve shine. Glitterbat
The Eyeko Fat Eye Stick is a fab, chunky crayon designed to make smokey eyes easy and quickly achievable. It’s also ideal for a base if you like making strong, deep colours pop and it’s just creamy enough to give good smudge without rubbing off. Beauty Geek UK
The Trilogy Rosehip Oil is something I’ve wanted to try for the longest time because I’ve heard such incredible things, so this will be going straight into my skin care box and I’m looking forward to trying it tonight. Sailor Jennie
