Even though the sun has only just made an appearance, it’s still spring, and with summer approaching now is the time ditch winter warmers and embrace a fresh look. I am starting off my spring beauty posts by introducing Birchbox. One of few good beauty boxes I know of, and who are redefining the retail process by offering consumers a unique and personalised way to discover, learn about, and shop the best beauty, grooming, and lifestyle products on the market.

How does it work?
Each month subscribers sign up to a beauty box, which includes a range of products tried and tested by the Birchbox team. The box includes sourced samples from both well-known brands and emerging gems that include everything from skincare to makeup, as well as fun non-beauty extras.

Weleda Skin Food
“Weleda’s unique ethos and company philosophy is based on the motto ‘In harmany with nature and the human being’, promoting ecological and social responsibility. We only use natural raw ingredients in our products as we believe everything you need to ensure wellbeing can be found in nature.”

From the time I instagramed the contents of my Birchbox, received several praises in support of the Weleda Skin Food! It’s infused with organic sunflower seed oil, a protective ingredient that’s rich in fatty acids, as well as the soothing, super- nourishing extracts of calendula, chamomile, pansy, and rosemary. The essential oils of sweet orange and lavender also leave behind a lovely scent.

The correct application is to gently pat it onto the face to avoid tugging the skin and smooth it over the rest of the body; to maximise hydration, do so while the skin is still damp. Note that this cream is ultra-rich—a little goes a long way.

Mirenesse Glossy Kiss in Quick Kiss
I really like this smart little pen by Mirenesse. Great if you’re looking for a matt high pigmented look. So far I’ve found it’s perfect for adding a bit of oomph over a base lip application. The twist up stick contains a gorgeous sheer, and is perfect for on-the-go touch ups!

Natio Renew Radiance Foam Cleanser
With its plant-based, gender-neutral skincare range, Natio must be one of our favourite discoveries from Down Under. Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, this lightly scented cleanser removes dirt, makeup, and excess oil while helping to ward off damaging free radicals and brighten the complexion.
