January Subscription Boxes: Glossybox, Birchbox & My Little Box
Hello & Happy Monday! I hope your week has got off to the best possible start.
Here's a quickish roundup of the January Birchbox, Glossybox & My Little Box. It's quite interesting to see them all side by side & I'd love to know which is your favourite, or if you subscribe to any other boxes that were particularly good this month.

Birchbox - Women's Health Edition* - Philip Kingsley Body Building Conditioner
- REN Radiance Renewal Mask
- Activbod Cooling Finish Lotion
- Heal Gel Intensive
- Stila Lip Glaze
- Matcha Green Tea
- Women's Health Exercise Band
There are a lot of great products in here, it certainly made a good first impression. The
REN mask is one of my favourites, so to have a little tube is wonderful. Similarly I'm quite a fan of the
Heal Gel intensive formula and it's nice to see it in here. I haven't tried the
conditioner or the
cooling lotion yet, but I definitely will very soon.
The
green tea was surprisingly good and I haven't used the
exercise band yet for fear of it shooting across the room and knocking something over! The
Stila lip gloss was a little disappointing, I'm not a fan of the super sticky formula, but it was nice to try & it's a full size too!

Glossybox Fresh Start Edition* - Hello Fresh Voucher
- MeMeMe Eye Liner Pencil
- Naked Lips Organic Lip Balm
- Kueshi Natural Revitalizing Face Toner
- Jelly Pong Pong All Over Glow
- Nicka K Powder Blush
Opening the box to be greeted with 5 full sized products was quite impressive and something I wasn't expecting. It certainly seems like Glossybox are off to a great start. The
eye liner is the only product I won't get any use out of, but I've already passed it on to someone who has been really enjoying it. The
lip balm is sat on my bedside table and I think it's really wonderful. The
All Over Glow is something I've tried before and absolutely adore, my favourite way to use it is to mix a little in with my foundation.
Toner isn't something I use all the time, but I've been giving this one a good trial over the past week or so and I'm surprised by how much I like it. It's very calming. And my favourite thing in the box is the
powder blush. It's a loose powder with a powder puff applicator so there's none of the mess of a usual loose powder product. The lid also does easily screw off so you can get a blush brush in there if you prefer.

My Little Energy Box* - Happy New Year Print
- My Little World Magazine
- 2015 Calendar
- Good Energy Gym Bag
- Nails Inc Nail Polish
- Talika Moisturiser
- My Little Box Face Spray
It's not often that My Little Box miss the mark, but unfortunately I think they have this month. The
gym bag is a nice idea, the print is very sweet but the material isn't the best. As always the little
magazine was a lovely read and I think I'm going to keep the
calendar on my desk. The
moisturiser feels quite nice, I do love a good
face spray and the
nail polish is a beautiful deep red.
It's still not a bad box though, and they're on to a good thing if even their not-so-impressive offerings are still so well thought out and presented.
* * * I think Glossybox just manages to come out on top for me this month
(when they get it right they get it very right), with Birchbox a very close second.
Are you subscribed to any beauty boxes? I'd love to know your thoughts! xoxo
