First up we have a brand I have never heard of amika Perk Up Shampoo (£20), the packaging is to die for quite a hippy tie dye sort of theme. The scent is very fruity and fresh, sea buckthorn berry apparently, does it smell like this well I don't have the foggiest but it smells good. As a dry shampoo it does what it needs to do, soaks up oil and gives your hair a new lease of life for when you are on the go, but at £20 for a full size it is a little steep, I think I will stick to my Batiste.
Beauty Protector is a BirchBox exclusive and I love them their Protect & Detangle is one of my all time favourite products, so I am always excited when I see a sample of theirs in my box. This time round it is Protect & Blonde (£18.50), I currently have more silver shampoos than ever, but I would never turn down a new one to try out. Looking forward to giving this a whirl whilst I am in London.
Brows are my thing, I am told weekly I have good brows but while they are a good natural shape they still take time and effort to keep them looking neat and full. I prefer brow pencils when it comes to sorting my brows out, Rimmel being my current favourite. That doesn't mean I am not on the lookout for a new favourite bbrowbar is a brand I am familiar with but I have never had the chance to try them out. I received the shade Cinnamon Spice (£13) which upon swatching seems like a good match for me. It is a little hard but I think this will make the perfect to make them sparse areas seems more full with little flicks of this.
This one is perfect after a late night Nuxe Creme Prodigieuse (£21), a hydrating moisturiser that is full of antioxidants that is going to give your skin that much needed boost after a all nighter. It smells amazing, a very clean smell. Although lets be honest since we are all friends here, I won't be doing to many all nighters I am not built for them. So just using this as a morning treat will be more like it.
Lastly is the product which I was probably more excited to see in my box, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics or OCC for short. OCC is a brand I have been desperate to try for well ever. Just never got round to doing an order but now BirchBox sell them you just know I will be placing an order don't you. In this months box we received Lip Tar Primer (£15). This primer is meant to stick your lipstick to your lips and also enhance it. It can also be used as a balm, it contains hemp and peppermint oils to create a moisturising effect. Can't wait to give this a whirl, it smells incredible!
Upon first opening my box I was a little disappointed as I really wanted the wet brush, but now I have gone through my box and seen what I actually have, I am super pleased with my products; the lip tar primer being the most exciting. If you are wanting to sign up to BirchBox click the link here!
