So I've been MIA on here and on Instagram for the past couple of weeks or so - I've been meaning to write this post since last weekend but I've been feeling really ill all week and pretty much haven't left my bed except to go to work. I've also had to sort a few last minute bits for my holiday next week, so my social media will probably be a bit quiet until I'm back! I'm feeling much better now though so I thought I'd take advantage of my renewed health and fully-packed suitcase to sit down and review this month's Birchbox!
July's box is well and truly celebrating summer with a gorgeous design and is full of some really lovely products. This month I received a Manna Kadar blush, a Browcote eyebrow gel, a shower scrub from What's in it for me...?, a Merci Handy hand cream and a spot treatment from Balance Me.

Manna Kadar Long-Wear Powder in "Paradise"
This blush absolutely screams summer - it's a really pretty pinky red colour with a slight golden sheen to it. I've used it loads since I got it and it gives my cheeks a lovely flush of colour without being too OTT. You can also use these powders on the eyes - I personally haven't with this one as it's not a shade I would wear as an eyeshadow but it's great that it has multiple uses!
Browcote Waterproof Brow Gel
I'm actually quite impressed with this little brow gel - it does a really good job of holding brows in place without making them crunchy like with other gels I've used and the applicator is the perfect size. I have to say though, I really do prefer coloured gels as opposed to clear ones - I have quite patchy brows and I find the coloured ones help fill them in that little bit more whereas with this I could still see areas where there's no hair.
What's in it for me...? Shower Scrub
I absolutely love this scrub! It's so nourishing and does an amazing job of getting rid of any dead skin. I suffer a little with eczema so it's important for me to exfoliate at least twice a week and this is gentle enough to not irritate the skin. It also smells gorgeous!
Merci Handy Hand Cream in "Cherie Cherry"
I've had a couple of products from Merci Handy before and I find all their products are so nourishing for my hands. I actually prefer this cream to a lot of the more expensive ones I've tried and it smells so beautiful!
Balance Me Congested Skin Serum
I think I've loved everything I've used from Balance Me and this is no exception - I've been using it as a targeted spot treatment before bed for those days when I have the odd pimple and it brings the spot down and reduces redness so quickly!
