Ooooh it’s Halloween month…although completely irrelevant now as we are into November (I’m waiting until after bonfire night before thinking about Christmas)! October’s theme was ‘Written in the Stars’ and subscribers received either a fancy looking pink or green box design…I got the pink which I was very happy with and it looks amazing (definitely one to keep as a storage box). The theme was all stuff to do with Astrology which isn’t something I take any interest in (can you tell?) but as always an excellent array of goodies and a mix of full and trial sizes…but definitely more glam than spooky!

Here we go again, Autumn is here and while everyone else is looking forward to changing leaves and pumpkin spiced everything, I can’t say I’m looking forward to the colder weather…I’m already wearing a coat indoors! This month’s theme is ‘Golden Hour’ with products to ‘enhance that summer glow throughout the rest of the year’ and with the changing temperature, I’ll be amping up the body care as my skin tends to get drier in the colder months! This month’s box is bursting with goodies so let’s get to it and start unboxing.

Here we go again, another summer is nearing it’s end…I’m still hoping for at least one more blast of heat before it disappears altogether but seeing as I’m in Scotland, I’d better not get my hopes up too much. This month’s Glossybox theme is ‘The Art of Beauty’ and hopes to influence subscribers to discover their artistic flair…whatever that means. The box design is a work of art itself and as always subscribers were treated to 5 beauty products inside…so let’s take a look inside!

We may be into August but here is a delayed July post…this Glossybox box design was a nice change from the usual pink (which is also very nice) with an underwater scene and a theme of ‘dive in’. This was a more make-up heavy box compared to the previous few months which I was very pleased about! Subscribers also received an extra treat this month so 6 products instead of the usual 5 which was a nice bonus…but enough chit chat, let’s get down to business.

Damn, I so thought I would have got this post up before July but once again time ran away with me! The theme for June’s Birchbox is All Bodies are Good Bodies and celebrates the fact that we all have different bodies – different shapes, sizes and colours and we should take care of our unique selves. As usual, there is a good range of products and some new brands as well as familiar faces.

The longest day has passed…is it too early to talk about Christmas? Yeah, okay I won’t do that…June’s Glossybox theme is Summer Rendevous and the products inside are inpsired by classic summer beauty looks…although here in Scotland it feels like we have barely seen summer yet due to the wind and rain (currently writing this in the middle of a thunderstorm) so if everyone could do a little sun dance, I would be very grateful. As with last month, I found this box to be quite skincare heavy but I did enjoy this one more.

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.

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 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…

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…
