My 1st Birchbox

So yesterday I received my 1st Birchbox, as you know I'm already subscribed to Glossy box and thought I'd give Birchbox a try as I've heard good things.

So I set up my subscription and was pleased to see you can choose between 3 menu's each month, I like this method as you have more control over the products you receive. 

I opted for menu 1

and here it is;

 Such a cute dinky little box, I collect all my boxes and try to reuse them!

I love the little drawstring bag you receive, will come in handy for holding bits and bobs in your handbag?

Overview of the products

 A series of flash cards, product information, tips & tricks, Birchbox Beauty buzz #BBXBUZZ

Now for the products (singularly);

KMS California hairplay makeover spray (£15.00)

Dr. Brandt microdermabrasion skin exfoliant (£67.00)

 I'm itching to start using this! always on the lookout for a great exfoliant

Laura Mercier foundation primer radiance (£28.00)

I've heard great things about Laura Mercier, so will be using this next time i do a full face :)

Hair ...blonde ...!!!

So I guess I just bleached my hair a little, I was getting bored of the same old same old, so I took matters in my own hands and had a go! Ha

I used an at home kit and did my own version of a dip dye .... kinda...

I like it being a little different for me as I'm not always very adventurous when it comes to my hair!

What do you guys think?!
