Avneesh's July Birchbox

Hello Ladies!

I subscribed to Birchbox and got my first subscription which was for the month of July. I got it on the 6th of August (which is late) but I was excited about it and I am not so fussy about deliveries being late unless they are needed right now. These are the 6 products I got which I have written about below. :)

So this is how the box looks like, its a tiny cardboard box which can be so handy, I love it. It can be decorated and used for storing things.

They also send a magazine along which has information about the products in the box and some other products that they have and also a few celebrity interviews regarding fashion and beauty. Inside the box they gave a card which has names, details and prices of all the full sized products. They also have a card saying they have teamed up with InStyle for the august box. And a card with a welcome greeting. :)

All the products came in a little pouch which is so cute!

Blanc Cachemire- Creme De Jour Protectrice

This is a lightweight day time moisturiser for the face. It has a card which says it is made from organic ingredients which I think should be very safe and effective for the skin. The full price tub is very expensive so unless this performs miracles for my skin I won't purchase the full size. The tube I got is 15ml which should last for a bit.

Beauty Protector- Protect and Detangle

OH GOD! This product smells like heavennnn. It is a heat protector, detangle, and leave in conditioner. It is basically one product which will do everything good for your hair. The packaging is so cute with lovely colour and pattern and I absolutely love the smell of it. I am pretty sure that I will purchase the full size because anything that smells good just sucks me in. 

TheBalm cosmetics-InStain Long Wearing Powder Staining Blush

The colour of this blush is so great I think it will suit all skin tones. It is very pigmented, I think even the sample will last for a long time. It is matte and I am really looking forward to using this. Also again the packaging is sooo cute!

Laura Geller Beauty- Inkwell Gel Eyeliner

This is a waterproof purple gel liner which also comes with a brush. The cool thing is that the brush can be attached to the lid and it becomes a long brush which will make it easier to apply the liner. Not so sure that I will use the brush, will give it a go and see how it goes. It can also be smoked out and used as a shadow for a smokey effect.

Weleda- Skin Food

This is a moisturiser which is for dry and rough skin. And it also says that it hydrates and softens skin. I have oily skin so I am not so much in need for it but it might be good for flaky dry skin. It smells really good as well and its 10 ml. 

The Chia Co- Shots

I don't like this product. I wanted beauty related things not food. :( But I should keep an open mind and try it. These are little seeds which you can mix in a salad or food to eat or make a smoothie. They gave a card along with the recipe to make the smoothie. They are supposed to be very good for health.

I will use these products and review them soon. Let us guys know if you are subscribed to any of the sample boxes and what you guys got or like. And what you guys think of these products :) xx

Avneesh's July Favourites

Hello Beautifuls, July was a hot month and because of that I wasn't using much makeup, as it would just melt off on me. But I did have 6 things which I absolutely loved in July.

Maybelline Rocket Volume Express Waterproof Mascara

 I don't usually use waterproof mascara but as it is summer and so hot, I needed something which wouldn't make me look like a ghost. It gives great volume and length, and just makes my lashes look really amazing. And it is worth every hype it has been getting!!!

Clinique Gel Liner in 02 True Black

This isn't a new find as I bought it in January, but I kind of got over it and stopped using it. I have rediscovered it now and I love how it looks on my eyes. It's not the easiest thing to apply, but once you get used to it, it's great. It can smudge so I just have to be a little careful with it throughout the day.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer

I have tried quite a few drugstore concealers but I haven't loved any of them or bought them again, but this one is my favourite and I will definitely buy it again. I just using it under my eyes. I have been wearing this, the rocket volume mascara and just some lipstick during the hot days and I love the look. It glides on perfectly, doesn't crease much and isn't cakey at all.

L'Oreal Absolute Make-Up Remover

This is the waterproof version, they also have the normal version which looks the same so don't be mistaken guys. This is my second bottle and I love it. It is suitable for sensitive eyes which is perfect for me. Let's just say it is a great make-up remover and easy to use. When I use it to remove the make-up off my lips it doesn't dry my lips and I simply love it.

Boots Coconut and Almond Body Butter

First of all it smells amazing. It is hydrating and the smell lingers on which I like. You can say it is the cheaper version of the body shop body butters. The texture of this isn't as thick as the body shop ones but i just really like this. They have other 'flavours' too so I will definitely be going and buying more of these.

BarryM Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Polish in Satsuma

I have been wearing it on my toe nails for about 2 weeks now and I love it. We have done a blog post on it so you guys can check it out here.

Hope you guys enjoyed reading that, and let us know what your July favourites were!
