BirchBox November Review

November 14, 2018

My mum has been subscribed to Birchbox for over a year and I love looking to see what she got in each box! I thought I’d do a review of her November box because I love everything about it: the design, the products and the film(The Nutcracker and the Four Realms’)!! Enjoy!

The Box Design:

This month, the box design was based of the new film ‘The Nutcracker and the Four Realms’. I think that the packaging is very festive and I love the gold copper lettering. I also find that the box that it comes in is very handy because it means you can reuse it for makeup, stationary etc.

Products:

Glamglow Instamud – This is a ’60 second pore-refining treatment’ and I was very intrigued to try it out. I love the Glamglow face masks so I was looking forward to trying this out! It contains (bentonite and kaolin clays, witch hazel, aloe vera, and licorice root) while the micro-bubbling mud activates on contact to energize and invigorate while it perfects your complexion. I left it on for a minute and my spots had reduced in size!

Wonder2 Prime and Behold – This primer is described as ‘locking color pigment and glitter to the skin for a waterproof and smudge-proof makeup look that lasts all day’. It was really nice to apply and held on my makeup for most the day. It started coming off a little bit at around 4pm but I did notice a difference from when I put makeup on without using it.

Polaar Polar Night Revitalizing Cream – This has a very nice texture and smell. It feels very silky when applying it and doesn’t leave my skin greasy at all! After applying it, my skin feels a lot smoother and brighter.

Spacemasks eye mask – I love eye masks – I find them so relaxing and this was no exception. It is a full size product and they’re infused with jasmine which smells amazing. The best part is that it heats up on your face which makes it even more relaxing!

Manna Kadar Diamond Dust Rollerball – This is a rollerball glitter that you can use on your eyes or cheeks as a highlight. I like that it’s a rollerball because it means that it’s easy to apply and there’s no need to use a brush. It’s also perfect for the festive season to add a bt of sparkle to your makeup look!
