Beauty Subscription Boxes: Glossybox, Birchbox & You Beauty May 2015

I am a total sucker for trying new products.. I mean I don't think I've ever found the 'perfect' product, more just the best of the moment. So when I watched a beauty video and heard about beauty subscription boxes I was very intrigued (Yes I know... Late right?). Having a whizz on the internet I found 3 boxes that came with quite high recommendations - Being in the UK does mean that we have far less choice than the US but nether the less there is a good selection to choose from :)

These boxes come once a month and range from 6.95 per month to 13.25 per month inc postage. You Beauty 6.95 inc postage, Birchbox 12.95 inc postage & Glossybox 13.25 inc postage :) Its quite late in the month so everybody else (those not ordering for the first time) would have already had there boxes... Mine all came today... Honestly, it was like Christmas this morning!!!



We will start with the cheapest: You Beauty Discovery Box... Heres how I received it and what was included :)


Now I personally love this one! Its only £6.95 including the delivery (Amazing huh!) and the best bit is you get to choose the 2 beauty products you want from the selection that month - please note... the best stuff goes fast!! You have to be online first thing when the selections are released to get the best bits. This month being my first, I was late signing up but I was still happy with my choices... Being a bit of a body shop addict, I was happy to see the Wild Argan oil miracle solid oil - That alone costs £8 so totally covered the cost of the box :) All the other bits where a nice little touch!

Moving on to Glossybox - Pinkkkkkkk eeekkkk! So this is what the box looks like and what you get:


This one costs £13.25 inc postage... And Im REALLY happy with it, 3 of the products were full size and 1 decent sized sample (the Renewed hope in a jar in my opinion is far too small lol). The SASS is amazing! I suffer very badly from ingrown hairs from shaving in shall we say intimate places.. So this has been a god send! The blue eyeliner was a nice surprise as I love using blue on my eyes. The towel off shampoo, well, I haven't actually used!! I'm rather OCD when it comes to being clean and the thought of not washing my hair.. Yeah.. That doesn't sit well with me. The Etrobelle, I really like and it has a nice cooling affect, Its also really hydrating which is good for my dry skin. I will definitely keep subscribing to this box :)

Last up (I saved the best till last eekk) is Birchbox.. I was SOOO impressed with this one!!! Heres what I got:


First of all.. Check out the box!!! You get to colour it in =D (yes I know.. It's the child in me) and there was a total of 8 products in there - including the colouring pencils. The first product I tried was the Parlor hair spritz which is supposed to give you beach waves.. I'm not sure about beach waves but it smells pretty lush!! Next is the Liz Earle face cream which again I really like, Ive only used it once so my minds not totally made up about it. The Caudalie tinted moisturiser I really love, its got really good coverage and looks really natural. Theres a hair mask which Id love to tell you about but I cant actually read it lol. The Nude face oil Ive not yet used but Ive heard a lot of people rave about it. Lastly and my favourite product is the Jelly Ping Pong Caribbean sun bronzer duo... uhhhmmmaaazziinnggggg! The blush is amazing and for once the bronzer isnt too dark for my skin!

So there you have it... I look forward to receiving next months boxes :)
