Birchbox‘s May beauty offering is “For The Dreamers” out there; with their inspiration for this month coming from all of the things we hope for in life. How about a lipstick that lasts all day? Or the most flawless skin ever? Or to snog Tom Hardy? Okay – we’re afraid Birchbox had a little trouble fitting Tom in their box this month but they have us covered on some wonderful beauty bits that might make your non-Hardy related dreams come true…
Their box comes with a little twist with a silver scratch-coating on the lid for you to uncover their cute design of hidden dreams. Plus two lucky people out there have an extra hidden message and have won a dream holiday! So get scratching guys…
So let’s get to the products. Spoiler alert – their luxe offering this month is as follows:
Spectrum Collections Unicorn Tears Wonder Sponge – Oh I do love a bit of Spectrum Collections, they literally take their inspiration and colour palette from unicorns and mermaids. Seriously. This time we get their ultimate beauty tool, which blends cream, mineral, or liquid formulas seamlessly into the skin. Simply dampen the sponge before you use, and use a tapping motion to blend in your favourite foundation, concealer or bronzer for a flawless finish.
theBalm Cosmetics Stainiac in Beauty Queen – You can’t go wrong with a lip and cheek stain. It is very handy in this troublesome weather to ensure you have long-lasting makeup, but is a lovely natural option if you want a colour from within. This shade is raspberry tinted and is a water based formula with a longer setting time so you can blend in perfectly.
Philip Kingsley PK Prep Polishing Balm – This brand’s innovative range really aims to look after your tresses and this time you can smooth and condition your ends with this completely clear balm-to-serum formula to completely nourish. Forget flyaways, frizz or dry ends, and hello shiny strong ends!
Caudalie Vinosource Moisturising Sorbet – Packed with grape extract, Caudalie have harnessed its powerful anti-oxidant properties within this unique gel-cream formula. Completely hydrating and calming on the skin, you’ll be instantly soothed and fresh with this lovely moisturiser.
Rituals Tao Wai Tang Mild Exfoliating Body Scrub – A blend of ultra-fine bamboo particles and calming white lotus helps slough those dead cells away to leave super smooth skin. The perfect addition to your shower regime to get gorgeous summer legs, especially if you’re fake tanning!
