A few months ago I realised that I had racked up £30 on my BirchBox account. Now I could have left it there and not spent it. But come on I am a weak weak person and couldn't resist going onto their online shop and snooping around.
I decided on getting a couple of Benefit goodies!
When Benefit released these in back in June I thought they looked beautiful, but a tad out of my price range. So when I had technically free money from BirchBox, I knew I needed one. The hardest choice was picking between Posie, Bene, Cha Cha and Lolli balm. They all have a slight tint to them representing the every so famous Cheek Tints sisters.
I am so glad I went for Posie balm as the packaging for the actual balm is beautiful.
Beautiful rose gold packaging. That was nearly next to impossible to photograph when flash is needed. Please forgive me?
The consistency of the product is dreamy, it glides onto your lips leaving them feeling instantly softer and hydrated! What I would prefer from this is the balm had a slight scent, but sadly it smells of nothing. I think MAC lipstick have spoilt me.
The colour pay off this is literally a tint! I did think it would be a little more pigmented but I do like the subtle hint of pink that this leaves on my lips. It does need topping up over the day too, the balm isn't as hydrating as a few other balms I have used over the years. But man the prettiness makes up for it. I am such a magpie.
Love the look of this, the packaging is so beautiful!

Looks gorgeous, I've been eyeing these up for ages. Will have to keep an eye on my birch box points, I'd completely forgot about them until you just reminded me haha!

Loving this shade. I've never had a subscription to birch box, but I've had my eye on doing it. Lovely post!

I've always wondered about this, but then if I have colour I lips I don't do things by half and want full on lipstick colour! Saying that, I love anything Benefit so I am sure I will fall in love if I try it!

I think this looks like a lovely product but I couldn't justify the price on a lip balm / tint. I think it's great that you got it with your points though! :D xo
