I stopped getting all UK Beauty boxes a while back but with a code that was available back around the 11th (which was when I ordered), I thought.. "Why not!" It meant that the box was only £7.95 instead of £12.95.
I cancelled the subscription a few days later as I only wanted the one box.
This is what I received:
Birchbox Paname Paris Mirror: (EXTRA FREE)
I'm not sure about anyone else, but I certainly would not pay £7.50 for this mirror. I prefer foldable compact mirrors so they don't get as scratched easy but this just does not look like it is worth £7.50.. Sorry Birchbox! But for free I guess I can't complain.
mirenesse Glossy Kiss:
GERDA SPILLMANN RENAISSANCE AGE SERUM (ANTI-AGING SERUM):
This is a 3ml Sample. Full size is 1oz which according to google is 29ml (rounded up). The full size is worth £69.00 making this worth £7.14 (rounded to the nearest full amount). If anyone is wondering how I got that amount: 69 divided by 29 times 3. I don't use anti-aging serums so won't be using this either.
WELEDA Skin Food:
This I am curious about. Not only is it a natural moisturiser but there seems to be a lot of good reviews about it! So I'll definitely be giving this a try. This is a 10ml sample and full size is 75ml but you can also get it travel size at 30ml. RRP for full size is £8.95 making this worth £1.19.
SAVON MAYA ; La Societe Parisienne De Savons Soap:
I quite like the scent, smells fresh. This will definitely be used. Full size is 100g at £8.50. This is 50g so would value £4.25.
Nick Chavez Beverly Hills Plump 'N Thick Leave-In Thickening Mist:
I will also be using this. This is 59ml and full size is 8oz which according to google is 227ml (rounded to the nearest). Full size RRP is £13.90 making this worth approx £3.61.
The total of the items I would use value more than what I paid for this box so I really cannot complain! The total value of the items I would use is approx £9.05 and since I got the box for £7.95 its a good buy & I can still swap the other two items.
(Approximately) The total value of the contents in the box is (not including the freebie):
£33.69
For anyone else who got the April box, did you get any different items? And what was your thoughts on the box contents? x

mirenesse Glossy Kiss:
The card with birchbox said this could be sharpened although it doesn't get sharpened as you just twist to get more. Its a mirenesse Glossy Kiss Lip/Cheek Stain in the shade 14. Perfect Kiss. Full Size Product. This alone RRP is £17.50 although on the mirenesse website it is £19.46. I'll be swapping this as I don't use anything on my lips other than lip balm and don't use anything on my cheeks either. For more info on this product click the link below:

I got the Mirenesse lipstick too but you can't actually twist it! :(
ReplyDeleteAccording to the brands website you can , although I had difficulty even getting the lid off so maybe its just a tough one? I'm quite heavy handed with things though so I'd be scared I would break it lol
