Ugh, my beauty box habit has made a comeback - Birchbox, Glossybox and now the new Selfridges box... (I love Perricone MD, couldn't resist.)

I had got through a lot of the stockpile of two years worth of beauty boxes though!

I got the nipple balm Glossybox variant. It's good stuff I have to say, almost too moisturising. I used to use it on my dry elbow skin and it wouldn't budge.

I've never had a beauty box so the Selfridges one is my first.
Never tried Perricone as I'm worried I'll like it too much but my bank balance won't!

My subscription just carried over from when it was Amarya. You can get a 3-month sub for £37.50 currently. I'm not sure why the monthly LoveLula boxes aren't available yet on their site.

I received my You magazine beauty box today, and am really happy. The contents are worth the £40-£45 mark (with the included extras), so great value for £6.95.

I got my Selfridges box and this months Birchbox today

I don't need to put the Selfridges box in spoilers as we knew what it would contain. No surprises, everything is lovely. I think the Top Shop lipstick would have been better in a spring/summer box, light orange isn't a shade I'd reach for in September but it's very pigmented so I'll put it by for next year. The mascara is a magnificent beast! I'll have to carry it around in my handbag, it's too stylish to sit in a drawer in my dressing table.

I got a Reverence de Bastien nail polish. I don't know the brand. If you own the Candy Apple lip butter it's that colour, a light bright red. The consistency looks a bit drippy.

A mini Bioderma Sensibio H2O. I already have this. I use it after taking my eye make up off, as an all over first cleanse. It would be a fab item for anyone who hasn't tried it yet. I'll keep it for travelling.

ModelCo lipstick in Kitty, and oddly for a beauty box it's a very wearable colour. To use the Lip Butters again, it reminds me of Pink Truffle, a your lips but better colour. Very nice.

Molton Brown ylang ylang body lotion. Smal 30ml size. I love Molton Brown shower gel but I've never tried a body lotion from them so I'll try this out later - though I feel one body lotion is pretty similar to another.

Aromatherapy Associates revive body gel. I assumed this was a shower gel, but it seems that it's another body lotion. 40ml. This smells very strongly of essential oils, especially rose, even without taking the cap off! I know AA is supposed to be a luxury brand, Lisa Eldridge raves about them. I'll give it a go on a blah morning to see if it perks me up!

Then I got a Green & Blacks mini chocolate bar which is very welcome!

I think it's a very nice box, the kind of box I signed up to Glossybox for. Nothing wowed me, not yet anyway, but it's all quality stuff and I'm happy. The only thing I don't like about Birchbox are the drawstring bags, what do you do with them?

I don't know what the drawstring bags are like, but any nice package I store and recycle for birthdays/christmas presents.

Am actually quite impressed with Birchbox this month. The nail polish seems a nice colour but abit watery, and never worth the RRP, well to me anyhow! The lipstick is actually a really nice wearable colour! Doesn't look to be that long lasting though, but still, a nice colour choice all the same.the rest of the box is good too, I think I'll actually use every single item this time. The chocolate I usually give to my husband, but this time it's white chocolate, and I love white chocolate....I might half it....then again maybe not! :rotfl:My thoughts on this months box are above in white.

The drawstring bags are very useful for anything I use them when travelling to put anything from costume jewelery, camera (when I lose the case), hair stuff e.g. clips, bands. I gave my friend some and her daughter uses them dolls little bits e.g. outfits to keep them together.
