May Glossybox 2022

Another delayed post…this might just become the norm from now on! Anyway, I’m going to make this one short and sweet…May’s theme was Perfectly Imperfect, I’m not really sure how to relate products to that but the long and short of it is that none of us are prefect so just be you! The box design was also very cute…an orange box with a big red heart rather than the usual pink (which I also love). As usual with GB there were a good selection of full sized and trial sized products and a variety of items.

May Birchbox 2022

And there’s May been and gone…I literally do not know where the time is going this year but I am not keeping up! The theme for May’s Birchbox was (Skinvestment) so you can probably guess it was going to be a skin heavy month! I had a bit of an issue with May’s box as it arrived and one of the products had leaked everywhere, destroying some of the contents inside…I’ll give BB their due, they got back to me the same day and sent out another box, although when it arrived it looked like it had been done a few rounds with Mike Tyson…but thankfully it was the box that had taken the hits and the products inside were unharmed. I received one full sized item this month and the rest were sample sizes which is not really any different to ususal with Birchbox but it would be nice to see some more larger sized products.

April Glossybox 2022

April has been a super busy month for me but I have finally caught up on my unboxing posts! With the arrival of Spring, Glossybox has provided us with a very fitting ‘Spring Softness’ theme this month…what does that mean I hear you ask? I have no idea but it sounds nice. As always with Glossybox, subscribers are treated to lots of generously sized goodies and apparently there should have been an extra edible treat but I never received that which makes me sad as I am an absolute munch King! Oh well…

April Birchbox 2022

Spring is well and truly here and what better way to celebrate than with a new Birchbox! This month’s theme is all about feeding your skin, so as you can imagine, this is a fairly skin and body care centred box…and that’s not something I’m complaining about. I loved the colourful, avocado design on the box and there were a couple of full sized items which was a nice surprise. But enough chit chat, let’s get to the good stuff…

March Birchbox 2022

Oops, another very delayed unboxing post! I’ll make this one fairly brief seeing as it isn’t available for purchase any more. As usual the box design was bright and bold with the slogan “WE ALL DESERVE TO FEEL ICONIC” emblazoned across the lid. The contents were equally as bold and colourful and there was a good mix of make-up, skincare, haircare etc (although as usual, mostly trial sizes).

February Glossybox 2022

So January felt like it ran on for about 20 weeks whereas February has felt like 20 minutes! Where the hell did the last 28 days go?! One bonus is, another month means another beauty box. February’s Glossybox theme was ‘Timelss Treats’ and came in two different designs…a black or white box rather than the usual pastel pink. I received the black design and an added Illiamasqua treat as I signed up again after my last subscription ended – score.

February Birchbox 2022

I don’t think I managed to get January’s Birchbox post done but I can’t be bothered writing it now so we will just have to forget about that one (it wasn’t the best and you didn’t miss out on much) and let’s swiftly move on to Feb. I always find February boxes more fun than January’s…less focus on detoxing and recovery yada yada. This month’s theme is ‘Choose Love’ and features a super colourful heart design which I love! The contents have a good mix of full sized and trial sized items (I sometimes find BB to be a bit mean with their product sizes so this was a bonus) and there were lots of new finds for me!

January Glossybox 2022

Wooo, the first post of 2022! And the first box of the year…I will admit, I wasn’t blown away with this month’s offering, but the contents did fit very well with the ‘Mindful Mornings’ theme. After enjoying the festivities a bit too much, some TLC was definitely what the doctor ordered in January and this box focused on body care/ skincare etc rather than make-up. The products were very generous in size which was an added bonus. But enough chit chat, let’s delve in…

November & December Glossybox 2021

So, I am seriously behind schedule with the beauty box posts, with delayed dispatches, Storm Arwen cutting our power off for a week and December festivities in general, I’ve cut myself some slack and am bringing you both November and December’s boxes to you just before we see the year out! I was pretty impressed with both Glossybox offerings over the past two months and they were crammed with so many goodies, as well as December’s gorgeous navy box design which I will definitely be keeping. But I’ve left you waiting long enough, let’s get to the good stuff.

October Birchbox 2021

Unlike Glossybox, Birchbox definitely didn’t celebrate Halloween month with a spooky theme (I’m a little sad to be honest) but we did get treated to a ‘Crafting Beauty’ theme which I think revolves around crafting our own beauty routines (am I right? I don’t even know). Anyway, the box design is a colourful, kind of woven like design – I got the pink and orangey shade which is super cute. As is usually the case, the majority of items are sample sized but there was a cracking full sized item this month! I’ve already tried a couple of products before but there were also a few newbies for me to sample. But lets not beat around the bush any longer…
