Birchbox UK 2020

I thought I would show you all the boxes I have received from Birchbox over the year, I have paid for every box, these were not gifted to me.

This is not a sponsored blog post, I paid for the subscription box but I want to share that if you click this link you'll get £5 off your first box.

January 2020

This box was worth £32.53, it had a body lotion, a Jade roller, conditioner, liquid highlighter and a face exfoliator, yes it is worth more than the actual box itself and the packaging is good but there was only three products I liked in this box; the Mélusine Jade Roller, Philip Kingsley Conditioner and The Beauty Crop Glow Milk (highlighter).

February 2020

This box was worth £34.35 so more than the previous box and I think this was my favourite box of the year, I love the packaging and I love every single item in the box from the Sand & Sky face mask to the Lord & Berry Lip Crayon to the amika Shampoo. I have used every single product in this box and loved them all.

March 2020

This box was worth £37.98 so more expensive than the previous, packaging is cute but the products a bit blah. I love the liquid eyeshadow from Forgive Me Suzie, I used it in my previous blog post: GET READY WITH ME: Christmas Day 2020 (+OOTD) but otherwise I didn't really like the rest, I did a blog post on one of the items: FIRST IMPRESSIONS: The Beauty Crop Wing Woman Liquid Liner and gave it a 2 out of 5. I gave my mum the hair mask because the scent of this coconut mask was making me feel sick plus I don't really like the body scrubber thing.

April 2020

The box arrived really late so I never did a blog post, they had cut down how many members of staff were in because this was when COVID became a thing in the UK. I did take a photo of the box as you can see above. It was in partnership with Anthropologie, now so you can find out what I got I have listed them:

  • Brushworks Silicone Pad

  • Huygens Infusion Blanche Purifying Face Wash

  • KNDR Beauty Mood Balm Sorbet Serenity

  • Percy & Reed Eau My Goodness Mini No-Fuss Fabulousness Dry Shampoo

  • This Works deep sleep pillow spray

Now I struggle with lavender, it makes my nose run and eyes water but the pillow spray didn't do that, the silicone pad I used to use on my face but it wasn't something I could get into, the face wash was blah and so was the lip balm but the dry shampoo was well used during lockdown.

May 2020

Another box that arrived late so didn't do a blog post, it came in a tin which I actually got a tin back in June 2018, I forgot to get a picture but managed to get it off of the website for this months box. Inside my box (tin) I got:

  • Balance me PHa Clarifying Mist

  • Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum

  • Luxliss Argan and Marula Conditioner

  • Manna Kadar Lash Blast 2pc Bloom Mascara Set

  • Rituals The Ritual of Karma Body Cream

Loved the face mist, the serum and body cream but the rest wasn't any good

June 2020

This box was worth £37.42, packaging is cute and the products aren't that bad. I love the Magnitone London WipeOut! 'Eco' - Amazing Microfibre Cleansing Cloth, I use it most weeks and the face mask Real Chemistry Luminous 3 Minute Peel is pretty good, I did a blog post on it FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Real Chemistry Luminous 3 Minute Peel and gave it 5 out of 5. I also forgot to mention, I also got a pink velvet pouch which this box.

July 2020

This box was worth £24.98, one of the cheapest boxes this year. Cute fruity packaging containing a coconut face mask that I gave away (can't stand coconut), a primer that I tried out for a blog post REVIEW: Ciaté Watermelon Burst Hydrating Primer that I gave 3 out of 5, a brown tinted lip balm, another Philip Kingsley product that I love and Polaar Sun Lotion SPF 50+ Very High Protection Fragrance Free which I have had before but love this stuff too.

August 2020

This box was worth £44.33, packaging is lips. The products in here are just a bit boring to me, I did like the face mask which I did a blog post on FIRST IMPRESSIONS: VQ Pineapple Gommage Peeling Gel and gave it 5 out of 5, I was looking forward to the eyelash and eyebrow serum but it didn't work, I did a blog post on it REVIEW: Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil Eyelash & Eyebrow Growth Serum and gave it 1 out of 5, the bronzer I got was too dark, I am not much of a brown eyeliner wearer but the beach spray from amika is lovely.

September 2020

This box was worth £50.92, this box is a personalised box, you can add stickers to the front of it. It came with six items but one was just a small foil packet for some moisturiser, wouldn't cover my whole face. What I really like in this box is MCoBeauty Peachy Gloss Hydrating Lip Oil Peachy Babe and the Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Lychee & Rose Deep-Conditioning Treatment.

October 2020

This box was worth £23.97, this month it wasn't a box, it was a tote bag, now I haven't used it yet because I knew I was going to do this blog post and wanted to keep all the boxes and packaging nice and neat but once this blog post is done this tote will be used for my shopping. The items in here were just blah, I wasn't excited about them plus this was the cheapest box (bag).

November 2020

This box was worth £27.55, packaging isn't my cup of tea but inside was okay. Love the Philip Kingsley Finishing Touch Polishing Serum, the REALHER Matte Liquid Lipstick - I Am Tough and the Vitamasques 3 Step Super Blossom Hydrating Facial in which I did a blog post on FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Vitamasques Super Blossom Hydrating Facial #Blogmas2020 and gave it 5 out of 5.

December 2020

This box was worth £51.87, this came in a velvet green pouch that could be used if or once COVID has gone and you could go on a night out. Love the Chella La Vie Eyeshadow Palette which I will be doing a blog post in the new year on this palette same with the Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner, there will be a blog post but the rest was okay.

There will be a version of this blog post next year and no matter how late the box arrives I will do a blog post because I love see what's in other peoples Birchbox's but also I get a lot of positive feedback from these blog posts.


Once I move out, either in my office or my dressing room I want these boxes on display.
