January Birchbox Products Review ♥


Happy Friday All! I hope your well on this fine morning. Into another month we are and as usual here is my thoughts on my another Birchbox. Enjoy!




This month Birchbox teamed up with Women's Health Magazine which is very appropriate for January as everyone wants to get fit and healthy and burn off all that Christmas over indulgence! With this theme set all the products are linked around getting fit and feeling good.


Starting with my favourite product in the box! The Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum which is complexion correcting is just wonderful! The smell is so fresh and the texture is so soft when rubbed gently into my face and neck. I'm in love with how instantly better it makes my skin appear, making me look more awake and also moisturizes my skin perfectly to the point foundation can be applied straight after!

I will be using this product very sparingly for the next month or so as i want it to last as long as possible. I recommend trying this out, if you too like myself have dry skin. It just evens the skin out, moisturizes and makes it some much easier to work with! If your interested in the product have a search for tester sizes on eBay and Amazon, i think the cheapest I've seen is £6.00 for one the same size as mine, just saves you splashing £45.00 on the full size!


I don't think i've ever used Organic shampoo before so i was interested to see how this product would take to my hair. The Green People Intensive Repair Shampoo caters to coloured/ dry/ damaged hair which is 3 of the things i worry about hair wise. Initially it smells very zingy and refreshing, almost like a lemon green tea sort of smell. The liquid is a see though orange gel that foams nicely on the hair.

I used the product for a couple of weeks mainly because i liked the refreshing smell and not so much for any noticeable effect it was having on my hair. I do also like the concept that it is organic and made carefully but i don't think i'll purchase just due to not seeing any difference in my hairs well being.


Not much to say about this product as it is just a shower gel but i love Korres products and it smells so Citrusy good! Also it foams up nicely in the shower so you don't have to use a large amount.



This Activbod Cooling Finish Lotion is for rubbing into the skin after a workout to help cool the muscles down. It smells very refreshing and feels great to apply after i've been running. I think this is a really nice helpful product to help promote the body to chill out after a good workout!


The final product i received is a Stila Lip Glaze which is a nice pink shade with a hint of shimmer. I like to apply this gloss over a tinted lip balm just to add a bit more colour! I find its great for all day wear as its not sticky or uncomfortable when eating or drinking.


Birchbox also included a small pack of Embrace Matcha Green Tea, which is a powder you mix into hot water to produce a highly beneficial cup of green tea. This green tea is 4 times more effective than normal green tea! To me it tastes pretty much the same as normal green tea so i like to add some lemon to give it a bit more flavour. 


This month's life style gift is a bright pink Pilates Band which can be used for a bunch of different exercises and stretching. I think its a great little tool to have as the exercises that can be performed with it can help to tone the legs and bum, which is always great! Also it can fit easily into a bag so the exercises can be performed anywhere!

I hope you enjoy this little review and let me know in the comments if you've set/ reached any of the goals you set for the new year! 

I set out to lose some weight in the early months of this year and so far i am successful, losing half a stone in January! Yaay!

Have a lovely day!

Much love, 

Kim Xo
