Birchday Birchbox | Beauty

What a fun themed box for my birthday month, it's also Birchbox's Birthday too!

I must admit, when I opened it up I was really pleasantly surprised, I absolutely adore the design and that it says Happy Birchday, it's just a very cute box. If you saw my August Birchbox first impressions then you'll know that I wasn't that impressed with it, so this month I didn't have massive expectations. That being said when I lifted the lid I was actually really happy with it, so let's take a closer look into what I received.

This box is actually American themed so they are all American products, but the first thing I grabbed was the "Birchbrush" which is very similar to the Tangle Teezer and I was actually going to buy one so it's great that I can give this ago and decide whether to buy an actual Tangle Teezer. I like that it's small and I can just chuck it in my bag. Another hair related product I recieved was the John Masters Organics Detangler conditioner. This stuff smells utterly amazing, it's citrus and neroli so you know I'm gonna bloody love it!

Then we have another Birchbox fave which is a product from Beauty Protector, to be honest I have had a lot of their hair products and they are nice but I am thrilled that it is actually a body wash instead. It smells like all the other Beauty Protector products, it's quite a sweet scent but still really lovely. I also received a little Laura Mercier Facial Polish that I am looking forward to trying out because I actually haven't used that many Laura Mercier products. I normally hate facial scrubs but I'd definitely be willing to give this one a go. 

Moving onto the beauty products, I have a Benefit POREfessional Licence to Blot, it's a nice product but I'm not a very oily person however I will be going on holiday soon so perhaps I'll use it a lot out there. Finally I received a Laqa & Co Cheeky Lip Pencil, I have received a product from this brand before but it was full on purple, I couldn't use it but I received a vibrant coral colour called Cray-Cray, I love the name. It's probably not one I would wear often but again, I'm going on holiday so it would be good to try it out there. 

There we have my September Birchbox. 

What did you receive in yours?

Colour my lips pretty...

I'm very simplistic when it comes to the colours I wear on my lips, I like a lot of nude shades. 

However the latest trends appear to be these lovely lip crayons that I kinda wanted to try out but didn't want to end up wasting my money. Thank goodness for freebies and beauty boxes is all I can say!!

In this months Birchbox I received a Laqa & Co - Lip Lube (cheeky I know) which is a pretty bold purple shade called Menatour. This was a pleasant surprise though totally not my colour. 

I also ended up buying two Glamour Magazines this month because they had two different shades of the Clarins - Chubby Sticks, Super Strawberry and Woppin' Watermelon and I needed both, obviously. 

They all look pretty cute together and immediately my collection has tripled. What I will say is I'm actually pretty impressed and may in fact have to try more of these beauties! 

Let's start with the Laqa & Co - Lip Lube

Pretty damn purple huh? Even though this colour is too much for me, I don't hate it as much as I thought I would. It's incredibly pigmented which is a great thing. I think if I only applied a small amount it would probably be easier to wear for me but I wanted to see it's full effect. 

Moving onto Clarins - Chubby Sticks

This is gorgeous shade is Woppin' Watermelon and I think it's great! These are completely different to the Laqa & Co one because these more sheer therefore much easier to wear. I like that they add a bit of colour but they're also very much like a balm. 

Love love love it in Super Strawberry though! Can you tell by the smirk?! 

Massive fan, these Chubby Sticks are definitely going to be added to my handbag. 

Have you tried the Chubby Sticks? 

What shade of Laqa & Co did you get in your Birchbox?
