How ‘Bout Them Apples | catsholiday: beauty

June BirchBox unpacked

This Birchbox was created for a holiday feel and also to celebrate the World Cup Football in Brazil at the time.

The box was not the usual brown box but was very pretty . I still have this one on my dressing table. the inner bag was also in Brazil’s colours and not the usual cream coloured draw string bag.

The first thing I found was the Brazil coloured flip flop or thong ( for those from Australia) key ring. I put this on my key ring and it gets lots of interest from my grandchildren.

What did I dig out next? This cute little lip and cheek tint from ‘How ‘Bout them Apples’. I have had one of these before and in the same colour which was a shame as a different colour would have been nice. I carry the first one in my hand bag as it is a great moisturising lip tint and such a cut neat package too.

The next item I really love. It is a body lotion from Korres. I have had one of their lip balms before but this is the first of their body lotions .It had a lovely natural lemon citrus aroma and left my skin feeling well moisturised and smelling great.

The Caudalie broad spectrum SPF day moisturising cream was next to come out. I do quite like Caudalie products but would never buy them as they are so expensive and not any better than other more honest brands. Caudalie claim that they do not test on animals yet they are selling their products in China and hence they are tested on animals before sale there. that is dishonest in my view.

The make up foundation applicator sponge was next and so far I have not tried that as I usually use my fingers to apply my moisturizer and foundation products. I must give it a try. Personally i would have preferred another product rather than this.

Finally I love the Opi nail varnish and have used it several times already. It is good quality and gives a finish that lasts a few days before looking like it needs doing again. I love the colour and find that I like it best on my toes and there it lasts for a couple of weeks.
