Birchbox March 2013 review!

It's time for March's Birchbox review! The theme this month is Role Models - hero products with inspiring stories and results you'll want to pass on.

Ok, here we go!



First up is a Laura Geller Inkwell Waterproof Gel Liner in Black.




This looks really nice. I'm not a massive liner wearer, but will definitely try this out and see what it's like.
This has Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E in it and retails for around £12.



Next is a cleansing balm from RMK, this is a rose scented balm that you smooth onto your face, emulsify with wet hands and then rinse off. I am not a lover of rose scented things, but this actually suits this balm and smells good! This 25g sample is worth around £7.


Up next is a 30ml body lotion by La Sultane De Saba. I've never heard of this brand before and the lotion smells really nice. It has a light, kind of creamy, spicy, Oriental scent. Not too strong though. I was happy with this until I noticed the 2nd ingredient is mineral oil. I had this issue with an item in my Glossybox. I don't like products with a ton of mineral oil, so I don't really want to use this now! Such a shame. The sample is worth around £3.



Then we have a 3g tube of Yu-Be cream. This is apparently a cult product from Japan that is multi-use. A bit like Eight-hour cream I'm guessing! The cream is quite thick and smells like Vicks VapoRub (it's camphor).
I'll definitely be using this on my hands and lips! This is worth about £0.70


Next is a perfume sample from Molton Brown. I hate getting perfume samples! I just think it's so hit and miss to get a scent you like. I was hoping this Molton Brown one would be nice because I like their products and most of their scents. Unfortunately, this is a bit too masculine for me.


It sounds really good, but it smells woody and yes a bit like leather - I hate leather, being Vegetarian!


A Beauty Extra of a 30 Day Thermal Transformation Mask from Sanctuary. This is the 3rd one of these I've had, but don't mind as I like it! It's really smooth and warms up when you apply it. You put a layer of serum on, then a layer of clay mask and wait 15 minutes. I enjoy using this!



Lastly, a Lifestyle Extra of a cute mini Lindt Lindor tin!


This had 4 Lindor truffles in it. I am seriously happy with this as I Love Lindor! Thanks Birchbox!


I liked this months box! It was a good selection of products (7 in total!) so I'm happy with that.
The only downside was the perfume sample, but seeing as I had 7 items, that one doesn't really matter too much. And I was disappointed the body lotion is full of mineral oil.

Other than that, thumbs up for my March Birchbox!

What did you think of your box? Did you get anything different?

From Me, For You xoxo
