UNBOXING: Birchbox UK January 2020

First box of the year and it's a collaboration with Rochelle Humes, if you don't know who she is, she was in the band The Saturday's but also is one of the presenters on M&S Food's YouTube channel.

The Box

The box is a drawer, I am so confused because when I used to have Birchbox it would come in a box then a drawer, I don't know if they have changed but let's see. I am going to do a blog post at the end of the year showing all the packaging of 2020 for Birchbox and see which one I prefer. The drawer is quite nice, it's gold, rose gold, pink marble, salmon, it's really nice. Inside there is the usual booklet which I don't look at until the end of me looking at the products and there is also a 20% off voucher for New Look.

A nourishing body lotion that is made from 85% natural ingredients and with leave your skin hydrated for 48 hours, I guess I will have to test this out. It is cruelty free. If you look at the website it says the full size is £13.95 however the little booklet you get in the box says full size is £9.95.

Full Size Price: £13.95

Jade rollers give a quick fix for daily skincare struggles like boosting radiance and tightening pores, however I am not sure about this and have wanted to try this out myself so glad I received one, my jade roller isn't as light as the others. The reason I have take multiple pictures of it because I am trying to look at packaging, I own my own business and try to package my products so they are safely delivered but without excessive packaging and I feel the bubble packaging maybe excessive.

Full Size Price: £15.50

Helps with textured and wavy hair so I will be giving this product to my mum who has really curly hair, this ultra hydrating formula conditions and ensures you have a tangle-free finish, whilst anti-static agents provide optimum shine.

I have seen that most of the boxes were the same, to think Birchbox is £10 + £2.95 so the jade roller is more than box itself. I hadn't received a nail polish or nail treatment in a Birchbox for a while and would like that. Don't get me wrong, I do like the products I have received this month but there is also the same sort of things in the boxes.


Is the box worth it?: Yes
