This month's theme was 'word up' - described by Birchbox as a month to help you search and find your ultimate beauty discovery. The word search box was designed for you to have a little fun along with your beauty products. Every box received an Arrow Boost Enhancing Lip Balm that is cleverly designed to react to the PH level in your lips, creating your own personal and unique colour. Also featured is a ModelCo More Brows brow gel to help fill in sparse brows - Birchbox send you either Light/Medium and Medium/Dark depending on the colour you fill out in your personal details. I got a Light/Medium but there's not a huge amount to say to this product. If you've used the Benefit Gimme Brow or something similar it's pretty much the same thing just a lower end version. Both products will be used and I did know I'd be getting both items so I can't be too disappointed but they're both welcome .. although neither would probably be repurchased. 

The box also advertised brands such as Hydraluron, Lanolips, This Works and Spectrum Collections but none of those were in my box sadly ... the remaining contents featured a Comforting Face Mask and Exfoliator by Doux Me, Beauty Protector Beauty Body Wash (actually listed in my booklet as a Body Cream so possibly sent the wrong product?) Nude Pro Genius Omega Treatment Oil and Number 4 Reconstructing Mask sachet. The box itself in terms of £££ is pretty good but the level of products some are a real hit and some a real miss. 

I didn't think I'd enjoy the Number 4 Reconstructing Masque and when I saw the meesly looking sachet I didn't think my bleached damaged hair would really benefit from this at all .. but I have to be fair to Birchbox this was AMAZING. The product should be applied to freshly washed hair and I would recommend squeezing out excess water so hair is partly dry. You then apply the product through the ends and work your way up to the roots. Don't be too worried about applying this to the roots, it didn't make my hair greasy one bit. I did use it slightly different to the instructions and left it to air dry for around 15 minutes then washed out with warm water and allowed my hair to air dry. My hair felt amazing the day after and I didn't even need to use heat tools. This is quite a rarity for my hair and it only ever feels this good after a Kerastase treatment I get put on at the hairdressers for £16.00 a pop. I think for £36 it's a rather expensive product but on reflection of paying for my normal treatment, I would be sure to purchase this again. It's just a shame it's out of stock via Birchbox so I guess everyone else thought the same. 

I have yet to use the Beauty Protector Body Wash which as I said was incorrectly labelled in the description booklet and to be honest, it just seems like a bulk standard body wash that I'll use in about 2-3 washes and never purchase again, plus at an RRP of £10.90 it's more than I'd usually pay for a bodywash. The Nude Pro Genius Treatment Oil is a nice little bonus, I have previously heard good things about this product and have been looking for a more intensive treatment to use at night. I shall enjoy using this and the 5ml sample is pretty aye okay with my when a fullsize bottle is an RRP of £58. Again I have my HG face mask that I love to use so I'm not sure I'll get much out of the Doux Me Mask but I will be trying it one night, I may leave this for a little pamper night to see what it can offer but it looks like enough for 1-2 applications which can be hard to properly know if a product is worth purchasing and at £18.00 RRP this is more than my usual HG product. 

Overall, I was actually quite disappointed with this month's box and this is why I have cancelled my subscription a 3rd time around. There was two really good quality items being the Hair Masque and the Treatment Oil, two okay-ish products being the Lip Balm and the Eyebrows gel and two products I would've happily missed out on to be honest. I may try Birchbox again when they offer their little 'enticing' gifts to get me to subscribe again but for now, this box has been laid to rest.

So as previously stated, you get three pieces of jewellery every three months for £30.00 and you can choose either silver or gold. I personally went for the silver version as I'm not a huge fan of gold. I got a gorgeous leather style necklace with a statement silver bar, a thin bangle with star and circle diamond detailing and an adorable little ring featuring a small ball and snowflake style diamond. 

I am totally in love with the necklace* as it's something I would pick up in the store myself and quite like that beige leather style as it's something I'd usually prefer to get in a black or dark grey. But the beige makes a nice change and the silver is actually a little darker than your standard silver metal. The necklace itself feels really good quality but the silver bar is actually quite light in weight - I am unsure whether this is real silver but I believe all the pieces are costume jewellery. 

The little snowflake style ring* is really adorable and perfect for this time of year. You do not need to worry about sizing with this ring as due to it's style and metal, it is pliable and can be made bigger if needed. Sadly though due to the metals thinness, it is a little flimsy and mine has now bent out of shape after just two wears. If you have thinner fingers than myself then you may find the sizing okay. I also found this to be similar with the bangle* received in the box - this is QUITE small (I actually ended up giving this to my six year old cousin who found it a little big but again, the metal is pliable so we just bent it into a shape she was happier with) I did try this bangle on myself but it did look like my wrist was being strangled and to be honest, I don't have the largest wrists. 

So personally for myself, I kept two out of three pieces from the box and gifted the other to my younger cousin due to sizing and delicateness of the bangle I didn't want to keep this. I loved the style and design of each piece but did find for £30.00 the fact that the items are not real silver (which I do understand getting three pieces of real silver may cost more than the RRP) is a little disappointing and the quality is a little less than I originally anticipated. But this is Charm Box's first ever box and I do feel like this is a great starting point for the company and it can only move forwards - I love the concept and feel it's filled the gap in the market perfectly. I'd love to try out another box to see what goodies I can add to my collection next time.

Just a quick mention that the package of the box was gorgeous! I got some really cute star tissue paper which had everything delicately wrapped and tied within the box. Also to mention the bangle and ring came in an organza pouch and the boxes are hand stamped so Charm Box have really gone all out on their packaging.

Now lately I've been OBSESSED with watching Mikhila at missbudgetbeauty and Diary of a spendaholic (Mikhila's Spendaholic channel) and her beauty box suggestions. Beauty boxes are something new to myself (I know what they are, I haven't been living in a cupboard all my life) but I've never really purchased them myself. My first beauty box was the Latest In Beauty Glamour Beauty Edit some time last year I believe or maybe even the year before that. I was stunned by the quality and volume of products you receive for such an amazingly cheap price and was a convert, until I forgot about the concept and just shopped for my products and didn't really care to try too many new things out.
