Isn't this the cutest beauty box ever? I was so pleased when this popped through the letterbox and doubly pleased I got the pink and rose gold design - it's sitting happily on my shelves, matching perfectly with all my rose gold paraphernalia!
Birchbox* contacted me a couple weeks ago to ask if I would be interested in receiving their April Royally Good box, and I was so intrigued I had to say yes. It's to celebrate the impending arrival of the royal baby, hence the box colour - there's also a baby blue one making the rounds which is equally cute! As such the products are all themed around royalty, with the aim of making the recipient feel like a Queen for a day!
My box contained the following lovely bits and bobs:
Laura Mercier Kohl eye pencil in Black Violet
This is not a colour I would normally wear, but I tried it out with a swipe of mascara for a casual weekend look and you know what? It works. Jon kept peering at my eyes and asking "what have you done differently?!"

Percy & Reed Volumising No Oil Oil
I love the smell of this oil SO much. My hair can go quite flat and limp after one day, so it needs all the help it can get! To be fair, I would probably coat my hair in this stuff all the time anyway because it smells so lovely!

Bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash
This arrived at the perfect time to pop into my carry-on luggage for a quick trip home! I'm usually quite wary of trying new cleansers as my skin likes to play up, but this is gently cleansing without irritating the skin. It also has little beads to help massage and exfoliate your face, so a perfect all-rounder! It did struggle to remove my Benefit mascara but They're Real is notoriously difficult to remove...
Lola Barcelona nail polish in Gracia
Isn't this the most summery polish ever? I LOVE the colour and can't wait to adorn my nails with it! I've never heard of Lola Barcelona before so it's a great opportunity to try a new brand!
Korres Bergamot Pear showergel
I am such a huge fan of Korres products already so I was delighted to find this in my box! It smells so delicious and lingers in our bathroom long after I've used it!
Special extra: Inner Me Beauty: Energise Me
Another little gift arriving at the right time, as I've started to be more careful about what I eat and drink! This is a lovely little vitamin supplement to help give you a little boost and reduce fatigue.

In addition to these lovely items, Birchbox are also running a competition for £500 worth of beauty goodies to celebrate the royal baby's arrival! Simply share a photo of your box on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook using the hashtag #HRHBirchbox and tell @BirchboxUK what you would do if you were Queen (or King?!) for a day. If the new arrival is a boy, everyone with a blue box will be entered in the draw - if it's a girl, everyone with a pink box will be entered! For more details visit the Birchbox blog here!
Have you used Birchbox before? What do you think of their Royally Good box?

It really is cute, yes! I'd love to try the Percy and Reed Oil :) I never really bother with beauty boxes as there are so many I don't know where to start but this month's Birchbox looks like it was great :)
