What’s in the BirchBox for December 2016?
Ciaté London Fierce Flicks Eyeliner (RRP £15.00)
There are two full-sized items this month but the one that everyone received, is the Ciaté London Fierce Flicks Eyeliner (RRP £15.00)
It’s a rather gorgeous felt tip liner and perfect for a precision cat flick or a bold wing. Anything that makes the application of eyeliner easier gets a thumbs up from me!
Percy & Reed Perfectly Perfecting Wonder Balm (RRP £18.00 for full size)
You can use this Percy & Reed Perfectly Perfecting Wonder Balm (RRP £18.00 for full size) on towel-dried hair to smooth, shine, soften and protect it from root to tip. It will also moisturise your hair and speed up styling. A great multi-tasking product that is perfect for the party season.
Amie Skincare Leaf Deep Exfoliating Polish (RRP £5.95 for full size)
Nothing against Amie Skincare but I’m getting a little bored of seeing them repeatedly in different beauty boxes. I’m not knocking the brand or range; their skincare products are lovely. I’m just fed up with seeing them so much lately. This is their ‘NEW’ Leaf Deep Exfoliating Polish (RRP £5.95 for full size) A deep cleanser treatment that contains rice granules to wash away dirt and dead skin.
Benefit’s Dew the Hoola (RRP £22.50 for full size)
Benefit’s Dew the Hoola (RRP £22.50 for full size) also makes an appearance in December’s Birchbox. Benefit’s best-selling bronzer in liquid form; giving you a natural, sun-kissed glow.
Leighton Denny Nail Polish in Just Perfect (RRP £12.00 full size)
Lastly is this pretty Leighton Denny Nail Polish in Just Perfect (RRP £12.00 full size) It’s a really pretty colour and the formula is supposedly long-lasting and chip resistant.
Overall Thoughts
The BirchBox for December 2016 is a pretty decent box for me. I didn’t love it but I didn’t hate it either. It’s like the products were all good products but none of them got me excited to try. As much as I love Amie Skincare products, I am just a tad fed up with seeing them so much in beauty boxes lately. It’s been quite boring and repetitive for me.
I was only ever going to subscribe for 2 or 3 months so I could try out 2 or 3 boxes, so December’s box is actually my last one and I have now cancelled my subscription. I may subscribe again at some point. Who knows!
