The coolest Birchbox yet!
Gosh, I have been excited to write about this one! As usual I am late with a post but today I am determined to sit down and focus, so I've turned off The Waltons and I'm typing haha.
Even Sam is impressed with this month's Birchbox, once again I feel spoilt.
So everything came in this beachy make up bag which is loveeely! it feels good (that sounds weird) and smells really summery. It's in green and purple pastel tones as you can see from the image above, I don't want to use it because it's really cute haha, I probably store like suncream in it or something.
Also with this months Birchbox, you get 15% off your next purchase from Trouva, go check it out, they have some cool stuff.
Okay, let's get reviewing shall we..
Scrub Love | Coffee Body Scrub | RRP from £11.95*
Firstly I tried the body scrub by scrub love (kinda love that name haha) this stuff is heavenly! the scent is coconut mango and bloody hell you can smell it alright, not only makes you feel like you're at a spa when it's on your skin but the bathroom smells amazing as well, 5 * from me.
This product is meant to be Deeply Moisturizing, Conditions the skin and Rich in anti - oxidant and it does what it says on the label, I've actually re-sealed the pack so I can get a few more uses out of it.
^ The scrub looks like mud, but I promise you, it's not. ^
MeechNMia | Full size | Brow Liner in #21, #22, or #23 | RRP £12.99*
I was excited but wary to use this product at first simply because I am not an expert on this whole eyebrow on fleek trend, but after the first use I quite like it, it matches the colour of the powder that I usually use on my brows and it gives a nice clean line which is what I struggle to achieve sometimes.
Only issue is that for me personally I like to use a brush to do my eyebrows, it's just my thing but I will try and get used to the pencil, as they say practice makes perfect.
The picture below is after I have used the brow pencil.
Ecotools | Full size | Perfecting Duo Blender | RRP £9.99*
Ah, the beauty blender, the product that I've never quite got the knack off..
This time, I have improved, not 100% but I'm getting there...
The finished look was really nice as you can see from the above photo, not to heavy and it did blend lovely.
I think the shape of these have really helped with my application, it's a lot easier to apply around your eye / nose area, I didn't really use my fingers to blend in areas that I couldn't reach with the blender so yeah like the brow liner I'm going to practice with it.
I've also wanted to try Ecotools for a while now so in the future I might try out the brushes.
Estee Lauder | Micro - Algae Minimizing Hydra Lotion | RRP £36*
Right, not only do you get 2 full sized products in this months Birchbox but also a mini sized Estee Lauder product like *screams* Birchbox you have gone above and beyond this month, 5 * from me.
I will admit I am not good at keeping up with day and night creams so I can't really give a full review of this but I will say it does feel nice, I applied it this morning, I'm makeup free today.
It's supposed to give instant radiance and all-day hydration, for smooth healthy skin.
I do get quite skeptical about all of these lotions and potions but I will try it out, I am not putting it at the back of the cupboard.
I guess you're wondering where the final product is.. yeah it pains me to say it because I really wanted to try it but I lost it.. I thought I put all of the products in it's cute bag upstairs ready for me to try but I think this one fell out and somehow ended up in the bin which I am gutted because it's aimed at people like me, the pale vamps that don't particularly like that fake orange stuff in the bottle.
It's a finishing lotion that is supposed to blur over skin imperfections, add a subtle glow and hydrate with vitamin B5 and shea butter.
When I have the pennies in my piggy bank I will buy this one and try it out.
That's it for todays blog, thank you for reading please leave a comment on how I can improve etc
