Birchbox #3 - August 2014

I have been patiently waiting for this box ever since I saw the sneak preview on Facebook and it looked promising to be a great box, or so I thought! Let’s get into what I got first, before I continue with the negatives!
N4. High Performance Hair Care Super Comb Prep & Protect
| £20 (Full Size) - Number4Hair.com |
This is a leave in spray conditioner in a mini sample size. I will probably give this product a miss seeing as though I have no interest in hair. I must say that it does smell quite funky though!

Chella Highlighter Pencil in Ivory Lace
| £15.95 - Chella.com |
This is a product that interests me and it is full size. The shade looks a bit concealer like, but I have yet to try it on my skin.

NUDE Progenius Omega Treatment Oil
| £58 (Full Size) - NudeSkinCare.com |
This is a totally new brand/product to me, but I will give it a go. I have the 5ml sample size and I just can’t believe how much it is for the full size!

VASANTI BrightenUp! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator
| £26 (Full Size) - VasantiCosmetics.com |
This is a product I would be interested in and it is a 20g sample size.

Supergoop! Daily Correct CC Cream – SPF35
| £32 (Full Size) - Supergoop.com |
I received two mini 3ml samples of this in the shade Light to Medium. It is actually slightly too dark for me, so I probably won’t use it because I don’t really tan, so my skin will not be dark enough to match. Had this of been the lighter shade, I would have probably given it a go!

The Proposal by Tasmina Perry
| £7.99 (Paperback) - TasminaPerry.com |
This is the Lifestyle Extra and it is a sample chapter from a new novel/book and I am interested in giving it a read.

Overall I was extremely disappointed with this box! The range of brands is great, because I have never heard of them, but the product choices for me were very poor. I am a make-up girl and everything was really hair or skin care related. I will get use out of a few of the items, but I am not exited and it is a let-down seeing as my previous two boxes were good. I will be unsubscribing, not only for that reason, but I still have the Glossybox bug and I am enjoying that box more. I am glad to have tried Birchbox and I give them an A+* for my overall experience with them, thank you!

What are your thoughts on this box?

KALEIDOS Futurism II: Cyber Bronze Palette

  I have seen these palettes before on YouTube, a few people I follow have featured them in palette collection videos. The colour stories always looked incredible, but I knew I probably wouldn’t get much use out of them as the colours are bright and you are limited to six shades. I had only really seen the Futurism III: Astro-Pink , Futurism I: Sci-Fi Green , Futurism IV: VR Neon and Futurism V: Electro-Turquoise ones before. When I made my first Kaleidos order, I didn’t bother looking at the palettes as I knew I wanted the highlighters and it was going to be pricey as it was. I was browsing through Depop on the day my order arrived and came across the Futurism II: Cyber Bronze Palette . I think the seller must have received her order the same day as me. I instantly fell in love with the colour story, but I pondered over whether to purchase it or not. At 3am the next morning (insomnia), I bit the bullet and made my purchase. It was brand new and untouched, I just couldn’t! THE P...

Boots.com Haul #2 + Blog Sale Purchase

I thought I would share a haul with you today. I haven’t done one for a while but I recently ordered a few items from Boots and I wanted to let you know about it. I bought the Real Techniques Brush Cleansing Palette , which includes two sample sachets of the deep cleansing gel. I have been waiting for something like this and I cannot wait to try it. I simply refuse to buy the Sigma version, plus I don’t think it needs to be that big. I also got a packet of the Oral-B Precision Clean Electric Toothbrush Heads because they were on offer and I got eight for the price of four. I got four tubes of the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Hand Sanitiser because I absolutely love the scent and I wanted to put them in difference rooms so they are always to hand when needed. I bought a back-up of the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation , which is my favourite foundation and I use the shade 010 Light Porcelain. Lastly, I got the Rimmel Brow This Way Styling Gel in Clear. It is the second tube I...
