August 2014 Birchbox | My Thoughts ♥

Number 4 Super Comb Prep & Protect | £20
I have been using this conditioning & protecting spray on my hair just before blow drying it. It doesn't really have a fragrance, it just makes my hair feel nice and soft once it is dry. I have quite enjoyed using it on my new bleached ends.

Vasanti Brightenup! Enzymatic Face Rejuvinator | £26
This is a multi-action exfoliator which is designed to refresh your complexion. I haven't actually used this yet as my skin is having a horrible break out just now so I don't want to irritate it by adding something new into my skincare routine. I like the sound of it though.

Supergoop! Daily Correct SPF35 CC Cream | £32
I have tried this cc cream a few times, however, I keep finding myself applying my foundation over the top of it because it is far too dark for my skin tone and it doesn't even out my skin tone. I am not over joyed by this product.

Nude Progenius Omega Treatment Oil | £58
This is a nourishing oil rich in Omega 3, 6, 7 & 9, for hydrated smooth skin. I am looking forward to trying out this face oil as it sounds promising. I think it might be the pick me up my skin needs right now!

Chella Highlighter Pencil | £15.95
This highlighter can be used on your brow bones, cheekbones and inner corners of your eyes. I have been using it on my brow bone and eyes, it works really well and I love the soft consistency it has.

The Proposal By Tasmina Perry |£7.99
I haven't read this chapter from this book yet as I don't really enjoy romantic novels, I am more interested in horror and crime books. However, I am sure a lot of you would enjoy it.

I wasn't extremely impressed with this months box, it seemed a bit boring and it has too many tiny samples of things I don't really think I will use, I hope next months box is as good as last months was. You can see last months box review here

Birchbox July 2014 ♥

£10 per month + £2.95 postage

(before I actually get into this post, I did  have the Laqa & Co Lip Lube but I have lost it, I have searched me entire house, my car, James' house and it is nowhere to be seen! Here is the link to it if any of you want to see it. It is such a lovely product with a beautiful minty fresh scent!) 

This has got to be my most favourite Birchbox I have received. It has so many lovely products in it that I know I will use over and over! So here is what I think of them:

Birchbox May 2014 - First Beauty box Impressions ♥

£10 per month + £2.95 postage

This is my first ever beauty box.. (such a terrible blogger). I have never been too sure on beauty boxes, just in case I didn't like the products one month, however I have always been tempted to try one and see how I feel, so I had a browse online to see which box seemed the most appealing to me for the month of May. I was fairly impressed with this Birchbox, the price was reasonable and the products looked interesting. When I received this box I was very pleased, you are guaranteed 4/5 products every month and it only costs £12.95 altogether!

Products:

Benefit They're Real Mascara RRP £19.50

I didn't really enjoy this mascara the first time I tried it last year. My experience wasn't too bad this time, however, I still wouldn't pay full price for it because I can find better mascaras on the high street for a fraction of the cost. I have a full review on this mascara here if you would like to read more about my experience.

Aromatherapy Associates RRP £39

I loooove the smell of this oil. I apply it to my arms, stomach and legs before I get into the shower. I thought it would just wash off my skin instantly but even after using my Radox shower gel, I could still smell the beautiful blend of 'pink grapefruit, rosemary and juniper berry' on my skin. When my skin has dried after my shower it feels refreshed, soft and smells wonderful!

Beauty Protector Shampoo & Conditioner £14 each

I also love the smell of these shampoo and conditioner's, however the shampoo didn't lather up as well as I had hoped, I ended up having to use my normal shampoo on top to get it nice and soapy. The conditioner went on okay, it smells gorgeous too, however, I don't think I would pay full price for both of these products.

Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish from £13.50

I always use the full size versions of this cleanse and polish so to have a travel size (and another muslin cloth) is great, I have a full review on this product here if you want to read a bit more about it (brilliant product!)

Soignè Nail Lacquer £11 (Full Size)
This is a full size product which comes in a nice little box with moulded foam around the bottle inside. I love the colour, it is so pretty, I didn't actually have a deep red colour in my nail polish collection?! It lasts a good few days without chipping and it has a gorgeous high shine finish!
