I can't say I've ever been inclined to review a Christmas tree before now. But when anything beauty related is combined with anything Christmas, I'm there!
So when the people at Bloom & Wild - the flower delivery company got in touch to tell me about this magical little tree that contains beauty trinkets I didn't need any convincing. Also if you're a new customer to B&W I think the £10 discount (details below) make it a pretty good deal!
The miniature festive Birchtree (it's real FYI) comes with 5 luxe beauty trinkets from some high end beauty brands with a pretty bow on top to finish it off (teeny lights are my own!). And all through your letterbox for £30.00! Well in fact £20 with the £10 discount if you're a new customer, or £24 with my 20% Makeup Savvy discount code below. There's also three other mini Christmas tree options with and without decorations here.
Other than for elves this little tree would be perfect for anyone that works in an office or wants to decorate their bedroom or hallway maybe. Or this could be a nice nice option if like me you've never had a real Christmas tree before and want to see what all the fuss is about... it actually smells pretty good!
Pretty tree aside, lets talk to good stuff! The five miniature include - Caudalie Instant Detox Mask (I will be trying it out tonight!), Rituals Magic Touch Body Cream, Benefit POREfessional, Lord & Berry Red Lipstick and Givenchy Live Irresistible EDP.
Now the team at Birchbox, the makeup box company, have picked well here because you are bound to like most of the deluxe beauty minis. They are all high end names and all really lovely products! I will be passing the Benefit POREfessional onto someone else because I'm not a huge fan but I'm fussy when it comes to primers, but other than that I literally love everything!
My favourite mini has to be the cute Lord & Berry lipstick as it's such a vivid red shade making it perfect for this time of year. But I'm also a fan of Rituals Magic Touch body cream and I've already looked up the price of Givenchy Live Irresistible because I'm in love with it! So the minis really are well thought out and worth around £15 alone!

As for the negatives even though I love this little tree there are few. I have found the tree isn't as stable as I'd like and it's better propped up than free standing. Also as I'm new to a fir tree the process of tying the beauty trinkets to the tree was a little ouchy - pine needles are sharp! But you could totally stash the makeup samples away and just hang mini baubles from it. Only minor complaints but still worth a mention I thought.
Bloom & Wild really have impressed me with their Christmas mixed with beauty offering here and with the discount code I really think it could be a sweet little gift to yourself!
Fee xo.
