Birchbox and Glossybox

Birchbox

Glossybox

I recently purchased a Birchbox as a little treat to myself. I wanted some new  beauty things that would  maybe help me to branch into different brands that I haven't tried but then someone commented on my facebook recommending the Glossybox, which I also bought so that I could do a comparison post :)

Packaging wise I think I prefer the Glossybox because it's a lovely box and the products were wrapped up inside it but I also like the little drawstring bag you get inside the Birchbox. 

I feel like I got more for my money with the glossybox, but then I guess it's just down to preference on the products inside. I loved all the products I got in both boxes but I was won over by a lovely essie nail polish in the Glossybox!

The nail polish is a lovely coral-pink colour and it is called cute as a button. It needs a couple of layers if you want it to be completely opaque but it is worth the extra time because the results are worth it and the polish is actually really fast drying, an extra bonus with me! 

Glossy box also sent me a sample of a perfume which I really like and am thinking about buying for myself, it is called So Elixir and it's just a nice, fresh smelling perfume.

I also received a "Nip and Fab Coconut Latte Dry Skin Fix Body Butter" and I love it so much, I have dry skin and it its so nice to put this on after coming out the shower, it just makes my skin feel super hydrated and soft!

From the Birchbox my favourite thing was a lip product from Mirenesse called glossy kiss. It's very sheer but I like that you can build up colour. This is something that you can wear if you don't want a really dramatic lip colour. 

Another product from the Birchbox that i am enjoying is a "thickening Mist" for hair by Nick Chavez. My hair is always really thin and straggly but after a couple of times using this I have noticed a slight difference, obviously nothing dramatic but it's still worth using!

Those were some of my favourites and I will probably continue to buy a glossybox monthly, I recommend highly recommend it to anyone wishing to sample new beauty products!

That's me done rambling :)

Goodbye for now! x
