August Birchbox 2015

August Birchbox - #BEAUTYJUNKIE

Hey everyone so as promised I'm currently sat here at 4AM doing a post about Birchbox.

This month was another great month for birchbox, the box came and the design is little emojii type things, all over which is pretty cute - then the bottom half of the box is a gorgeous mint green colour.

As well as your products everyone received a sheet of stickers which is amazing!
Overall I'm amazed at the products I received, i'll put everything below for you guys!
_________________________________________________________________________________

Benefit High Beam
The full size is £19.50
This gorgeous pink hue gives an instantly dewy finish, you can apply this highlighter on brow and cheekbones.

 It blends nicely and I can agree that it gives a gorgeous dewy finish
The sample size is 2.5 ml , which by the pigmentation it's going to last ages - Brilliant!

_________________________________________________________________________________

Laura Mercier
Kohl Eye Pencil in Black Violet
The full size is £17.50!
This ultra-creamy, pigmented purple pencil glides beautifully across your eyes.

I didn't expect the pigment, and staying power to be this good, I applied it to the back of my hand and I rubbed and rubbed and it just stayed put!! 
_________________________________________________________________________________
Illamasqua - Hydra Veil
The full size costs £32
I've not tried this primer with foundation yet, but I have applied it to where I'm prone to dry patches and well... I must admit it really did feel hydrated and smooth.
They claim that it has a nourishing formula and instantly re-hydrates and smooths the skin for a radiant complexion - Those claims are correct!
Excited to try this out when I do a full face of make-up.
_________________________________________________________________________________

 Rituals Rice Scrub - Full size £10

Rice Scrub - Organic Rice Milk & Cherry Blossom.
For a sample size 70ml is quite a lot of product :).
The scent of this product is amazing, I can't wait to use this!
It says to use this once OR twice a week, massage onto damp skin using circular motions then rinse away.

I can imagine that it will leave your skin soft and smooth!

BioNike Cleansing Water  *BIRCHBOX EXCLUSIVE*

Defence Tolerance Essential Cleansing Water.
This sample size is 15 ml and the full size costs £12.20
This product is fragrance free, suitable for sensitive skin it gently removes make-up and leaves skin feeling smooth and soft.
Using your fingertips, massage into face and neck.
Remove using a cotton pad - no rinsing required!






________________________________________________________________________________


Kebelo 
Clarifying Shampoo, 50 ml and the full size costs £13.95
The whole point of this shampoo is to use once or twice a month, and that is to get rid of any product build up in your hair, this has gentle blend of ingredients to detox your hair and scalp. It has a very fresh smell, so I am super excited to try this out! I may even purchase the full size at some point!

June Birchbox 2015

June French Sole Step Outside With Birchbox

Hey everyone so for this box birchbox had teamed up with French Sole!

You could pick what design box you wanted, but like always I forgot haha.
instead of the usual birchbox bag, it's a French Sole shoe tie bag.

I will list all the products,prices and all information below like always for you all.

English Laundry *BIRCHBOX EXCLUSIVE* 
No. 7 For her perfume by Christopher Wicks.
This is a sample size, for the full size it would cost £60
For a sample perfume, that I have never even heard of -
It has the most gorgeous fruity, fresh smell which has a hint of musk too.


Yes To - Cucumbers Facial Wipes
These wipes are sample size which you get 10 of in each sample size pack.
The full size retails at £4.99
These wipes are very hydrating ( so amazing for dry skin like myself )
95% natural and removes make-up.

Balance Me - Super Moisturising Body Wash
This full size 100ml body wash is 99% natural
it's great for hydrating your skin, but also comes in handy if you suffer from dry skin too!
It costs £9

Beauty Protector * BIRCHBOX EXCLUSIVE*
I got 2 sample sized protect & oils, the full size would cost £16
You only need 1-3 drops when you smooth it into damp hair
so those 2 samples will actually last a very long time.
It is a lightweight hair oil and it protects against UV rays and heat damage!
I personally think it's the best smelling oil for your hair that i've ever come across!
TOTALLY SMELLS LIKE CANDYFLOSS :D

Mirenesse - iCurl Secret Weapon 24Hr Mascara 
I was super excited to get this mascara,
It has a good curved wand, birchbox claim that the full size is £16
But I had done a bit of research and their website sell the fullsize for £10

STYLondon - Temporary Metallic Tattoos 
This is full size and costs £7.99
yet like I said about my glossybox, another lot of tattoos I will not use!


Overall I was pleased with june's box,

Birchbox February 2015

Good evening everyone :) I'm excited to say that I will be un-boxing my first ever Birchbox with you guys and explain each product :) you can buy them all at www.birchbox.co.uk/shop 

 Once opening my box I got super excited to see they put all your products in a cute little bag with strings that you pull to close it - It has the BIRCHBOX name and then the logo on the other side.  I think it's a great idea as they aren't all over the place when you open your box. I love how they have made the boxes slimmer too.

If you would like to know more about their new slim box visit;
