Birchbox November 2017 Review

Beauty subscription boxes have become very popular in the recent years.  Companies like Birchbox, Glossybox, Look Fantastic, Pink Parcel, etc. have been competing with each other to receive customer's attention.

 Contrary to the fact that I'm a beauty junkie, I had never actually tried one myself. I purchased Birchbox's November box when they were running a Black Friday promotion. The box was 50% off regular price, which means I paid £5. (£10 RRP). The delivery was £3. So for the price of £8 total, I received a box full of mini gems to try out. As you may know, each month you receive a box of sample products, which is personalized according to your beauty profile. This means you don't get to pick the products you wish to receive. However, you can choose an element of your box, such as a product or the design. 

November's box was a collaboration with Vogue, which means the products were part of Vogue 100 Beauty Hall Of Fame. 

• Birchbox brush cleansing tool. The tool would have been very intriguing if I didn't actually have one already. These kinds of tools really help to deep clean your brushes in no time. I would recommend it.
• Percy&Reed Smooth Sealed & Sensational Volumising No Oil Oil. This brand is new to me, but I've definitely heard people rave about it. The product itself is quite nice. I usually put Orifluido oil in my frizzy curly hair. This 'no oil oil' does pretty much the same job, but its texture is silky, rather than greasy. It sinks into the hair in seconds. Someone with fine hair would really appreciate that! I also fancy the smell.
• Klorane Dry Shampoo. I will always be a fan of Batiste dry shampoos, but sometimes they are too heavy even for my greasy roots. Klorane's dry shampoo feels much lighter. Because it's a mini version, I keep it in my handbag and spritz my fringe throughout the day. 
• Seche Vite Dry Fast Top coat. I have to admit this product has lived up to expectations. The best top coat I've ever used! Dries in seconds and leaves a glossy finish, which lasts for days. 
• Benefit Hoola Bronzer. This product was a special bonus in every box. Even though it's a pretty small size, I really enjoy using it to contour. I mean, we all know this is the most popular bronzer, don't we? Well, there's a reason for it. It has a cool tone to it and it blends into the skin like a dream! Definitely a must have. 

I know this post comes late, but I wanted to give my opinion about the products and the box. Overall, even for the full price of £12.95, Birchbox is worth it! I really enjoyed using every single product in November's box.
