The Beauty Crop Bronzer Compact in "Sardinia Sands"
 |
| RRP £8 |
I was actually really surprised at how much I love this little bronzer! I've always been a huge Benefit Hoola fan, but I think this one might have knocked it off the top spot. I usually find most bronzers are a little bit too orange on my skin, but this one is such a perfect shade for me, it just gives a beautiful subtle glow. It's also way cheaper than the Benefit one, and as much as I'm happy to spend a bit extra on a product I love, I do also love a bargain and this bronzer definitely ticks all the boxes for me!
Would I buy it again? Definitely!
Chella Clear Eyebrow Defining Gel
 |
| RRP £15.50 |
I've tried so many different eyebrow gels over the years and to be honest, I don't really find a lot of difference between them, especially the ones that are a bit pricier. I'm also not really a big fan of clear gels: I prefer one that has a colour as I find they just add a bit more dimension to my brows. I don't mind the formula of this one. Unlike a lot of other gels, it didn't leave my eyebrows feeling really crunchy and it did a good job of keeping my brows in place.
Would I buy it again? No - I prefer a tinted gel and to be honest, it really isn't worth £15!
Generation Clay Ultraviolet Brightening Clay Mask
 |
| RRP £28.50 |
Since I spend most of my days make-up free at the moment (I only really wear it if I'm actually going somewhere) I've been really liking products that will help me achieve that bright, glowy look without having to put loads of make-up on. I'm always a bit sceptical when I see a face mask that has a price tag like this one, as I know the cheaper masks from companies like Lush usually do just as good a job. And yeah, this one really isn't worth nearly £30! Don't get me wrong, my skin felt and looked really nice after I'd used it, but I can't say the results were any different to other more affordable masks that I've tried in the past.
Would I buy it again? No, it's too expensive!
Caudalie Vinosource SOS Thirst Quenching Serum
 |
| RRP £29 |
You know me, as soon as I see a serum that is designed for really dry skin, I'll be all over it! I've tried a couple of Caudalie products before and to be honest, I've never really understood the hype around them as a brand. But Oh. My. God! This stuff is amazing! Like, I genuinely can't imagine not using this product ever again because it's impressed me so much. I've been using this before my moisturiser on the days when I use my Fenty foundation, which is a very matte, very full coverage foundation. As much as I love it, I do find on my dry days it can really stick to the texture on my skin and just look patchy, but ever since I've been using this serum beforehand it's just created this beautiful smooth base! I am in love.
Would I buy again? ABSOLUTELY!
Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula Shampoo
 |
| RRP £4.49 |
I really love Palmer's coconut body moisturiser, so I was quite excited to try this shampoo as I also get quite dry hair, especially on the ends. I have to say, I really think this makes my hair greasy. I think because it's a conditioning shampoo and I always follow with a conditioner (which the tube says you should do anyway) it's almost too much for my hair and it just ends up looking really greasy the next day. I used this before I went out the other evening and had my hair in a half up/half down style and the underneath part of my hair honestly looked like I hadn't washed it! And I always make sure I rinse my conditioner out properly so I just think this product really isn't for me.
Would I buy again? Nope!
Rouge Bunny Rouge Bronzing Glow Liquid
 |
| RRP around £50 |
So this is the random product I received which I think might be a mistake, but I may as well include it anyway! I had to do a quick Google in order to find some information about it, as I had no idea what it was for. I managed to find their website and to be honest, I was quite shocked at how expensive these products are! So a full size of this bronzing liquid is €59, which at the moment works out as about £50. This is absolutely in no way worth the money. Don't get me wrong, it's very pretty but to be honest it really doesn't do anything amazing. I've tried this under my foundation as a bronze glow and on my collarbones, but it really didn't blow me away.
Would I buy it again? Absolutely not.
So that's another Birchbox review done for this month. To be honest, a lot of these products worked quite well, they're just very pricey for what they are. I loved the bronzer and I will definitely be purchasing a full size bottle of the Caudalie serum!
