February Birchbox | 2017

Hello lovlies, I hope that you are all well. Today i'm reviewing my February Birchbox as i'm sure you all guessed from the title. I fell in love with the design of this box as Birchbox have collaborated with Papier to create this months box.


I the design is white with green leaves printed on with a green draw, this design is so simple but also seems exotic to me, kind of reminds me of paradise, also with this box we have received a  25% off voucher for Papier.com, which is amazing because I love stationary. The voucher also has a quote on the back from F. Scott Fitzgerald, and as a blogger I love this quote.

'You don't write because you want to say something, 
you write because you have something to say'

So first off for the products I received a Spectum Collections Tulip Eye Contour Brush, as you know I love Spectrum products and this is no different, it is white and rose gold so i'm sure it will be a fan favourite, and it is super soft.


Next up I got a Pop Beauty eye shadow trio in Champagne Mocha, and I was so surprised by it, the texture of the shadows are so creamy and buttery with no fall down and they are well pigmented. 



Next up is a Keeome Hydration Mask Therapy, I haven't tried this yet but i'm looking forward to it as i'm really into face masks at the moment.



I also received Beaver Professional Daily Moisture Conditioning spray, I did like this but I don't think it works as well in my hair as other hair products I have received, but it smells amazing.


Lastly and my favourite of all is Whish shaving cream in Asia Grapefruit, now for me this product was sent from the gods, I absolutely  bloody love it, all the years that iv been shaving my legs or getting waxes or using cream, my legs always reacted badly to it. In fact a lot of the time it was quite painful and no matter what I tried to use it didn't work, so I didn't really expect much from this but OMG I LOVE IT. I do have to say though, the smell isn't that greats, but everything else I love, a little goes a long way and my legs are super smooth after with no irritation. I will definitely purchasing it again. 

Anyway guys, I hope you have found this post helpful, as always thank you for reading!

January Birchbox | 2017

If you guys have been following a while, you will know that I am a subscriber and in the past I have only Instagrammed about them. But for once I have decided to put them into a post so that you lovely people can see in better detail what I got.


First off lets all take a moment to discuss how cute this box is. It is white and sunshine yellow sprinkles and draw which is adorned with 'sprinkle happiness', perfect for the new year if you are into that sort of stuff - new year, new me- new phase of the sun.

So starting with the the products, my favourite is the Merci Handy Hand Cream, I usually buy hand cream, use it once of twice and forget about it; but not this time. I love this product, from the smell, to the texture and it is definitely helping my hands through this winter season.


Next up is the Lord and Berry Concealer, it is super creamy and it is actually the right shade for my skin it does blend easily and if you blend so much then it almost all disappears, I haven't worn it long enough to say whether it it has a good lasting power, so stay tuned on Instagram to see my final thoughts.

 The nail varnish in this box is a Nail Inc Foil Polish in Kings Road, now I don't wear nail polish because I have serious nail polish issues, like a seriously put it on and feel uncomfortably and I immediately take it back off. But if I was to pick a nail varnish I would 100% pick this shade and I did some browsing on their site and fell in love with so many of the shades.


I also  received Kebelo Clarifying Shampoo which I was excited about because I am currently in a love/hate relationship with my hair, but I am a bit disappointed, I don't know how to explain it but my hair didn't feel clean, it felt like there was a layer lingering over my scalp. the only thing I liked about this product was the smell and it made my fine hair feel thicker.

Lastly I got Nior  London Rejuvenating Cream, I haven't used yet because I am testing out a few new skin products at the moment and don't  want to just test them for a few days and start switching to new ones, so sorry about that. But I think I will start using it because it is to supposed to soften wrinkles which I don't have yet but I think I want to prevent them.


Well guys I hope you have enjoyed this kind of post, comment if you would like to see more Birch Box related posts. 

Thank you for reading!

Lush Valentines Collection | 2017

Hello lovlies, welcome back, I had planned to post this earlier on but you know me; I'm hardly ever on time because I have been concentrating on university. But as you have probably noticed it is valentines day and as you also may have probably noticed Lush always release a valentines collection so now that I'm out of student halls I picked a few things up; then realised that I have no water pressure in the bathtub taps to actually run a bath, I usually just have showers. But anyway, this is what I got.



Cupid bath bomb:
- Im not always one for floral scents but this bath bomb won me over, it isn't over powering and at £2.95 its a steal.


Lovestruck bubble bar:
-Just look at it, no more needs to be said.



Love you, love you lots soap:
- Once again this is a floral scent but it is subtle and sweet, it has a lovely creamy texture.



Over and Over bath bomb:
-Its orange, okay? Orange!



Ladybird bubble bar:
- I was a little reluctant to pick this up because it has peppermint oil in it but I can't actually pick that scent up at all but for me it is a little to much and I'm a little on and off about whether I like it, but the design is super cute.



Lover Lamp bath bomb:
-I love this, it has a simple and very cute design with a floral but fruity scent, its smells like chocolate but it also smells like a flower bed, win, win right?



Kiss Me Quick shower card:
-Its brightly coloured and its fruity, I mostly just bought this because it is something I have never seen before but I actually really love it.


Thank you for reading, I hope you have had a lovely Tuesday and a good valentines day.
