My first ever Birchbox!

So this was exciting for me, I decided after months of deliberating to sign up to birch box in a 6 months capacity. Birch box, for anyone who doesn't know, is a one of those beauty to your door company where after signing up and paying a small fee they send you a box of sample size or full size products for you to test out every month. Now the boxes cost £10 a box and then a £2.25 shipping fee for every box. So I paid my subscription charge and waited with bated breath for the box to turn up.. I was not disappointed. 


Now normally they do just come in a box but this is a very late delivery of the December box which comes in a special clutch with it being party season and all...

Now I haven't yet used all the products and to be honest the puff off from benefit will probably not get used for a long time as puffy eyes is not something I have every really suffered from. I have attempted to use the 'they're real' push up liner but I was not impressed, it just didn't seem to work for  me at all but I will have another go and post a true review of it later, but as for both at full price they are £41 its not something I will probably buy again. 
The moisturizer from Embryolisse is valued at £12.99 for a full size tube and I could see myself repurchasing, it is so creamy when it goes on the Skin, not at all oily as some moisturisers seem to be and seemed to work very well on first application. 
The Lipstick from ModelCo in the shade smitten is a dark red colour and they claim it is ultra-long lasting, now at first swatch I can see me wearing this, its creamy, dries to a semi matt and doesn't seem to dry out and crack as some lipsticks do. 

The Shower gel I haven't used yet, but I noticed while writing this I actually left a product out, I also received a Ciate mini in the shade 'dangerous affair' I only applied today but the colour is a dark burgundy colour, it seemed to apply quite messily though as the formula seems to be very watery. 
Out of all these products I would say the moisturiser and the lipstick are the most impressive but all in all a good box and I'm now eagerly awaiting the next one.
