This month Birchbox – usually my favourite beauty subscription box – have partnered up with Cath Kidston to celebrate their 25th birthday! This month the box contains 5 items all wrapped up in this super cute Cath Kidston box.
Model Co Baked Highlighter (RRP £24)
One) how is this full size, it’s tiny! Two) How it this a highlighter? It looks more like a blush topper? Putting those two things aside, this is a cool product. I love receiving makeup in these boxes, and Birchbox always has the best ballance of skincare/haircare and makeup.
Beautaniq Beauty Fill + Tame Brow Gel (RRP £8.60)
Who doesn’t love a good brow gel? This is a tinted gel with a brush very similar to that of the Benefit Gimme Brow. It’s vegan and from first use, it’s pretty good. We’ll see on this one, but it’s a good price!
Cath Kidston Hand Cream (RRP £2.50)
Ok, I’m one of these people who is so over handcream now. I feel like you get them free in a million and one boxes and I’m just not in the mood to receive another one. Also, it’s a super floral scent, which I’m not all about. So, for me, this one is not the one…. cute packaging though.
Beauty Protector Protect and Volume (RRP £21.50)
Possibly slight out my budget for a repurchase, however, will definitely give it a go! This product has a super sweet scent, plus it gives volume AND heat controls. I haven’t got round to using it yet, but they sound like great claims!
Birchbox Brush Cleaner (RRP £5)
Ok, I am the worse at deep cleaning my brushes. I use the B. Brush Cleaner all the time, and then gets them pretty clean, but soap and water… nah, I’m not about that life (grim I know). However, this gets rid of the completely hand drying motion of cleaning your brushes… so you know.. maybe I’ll give it a go! I always see these hovering about in shops, but never pick them up. So we’ll see here too!
Have you received this month’s Birchbox? If so, what were your thoughts?

Looks like a great selection of products! And I literally love the box. Will make a great storage box! 💕
I know, it’s adorable! <3
I have something similar to one of those rubber/silicone brush cleaner things and I find it really useful. I got mine free with an online order a few years ago and I find it does a good job with all my brushes. I think mine’s called a brush egg x
I’ve heard of them, and seen them about, I’d just never committed to getting one! 😛
The brush cleaner seems like a handy addition, ‘specially when so many of these boxes come with brushes.
