Birchbox #7 - July 2018

I have another Birchbox to share with you. I really like the watercolour design of this box. Here is what I received:-
MANNA KADAR LONG-WEAR POWDER IN PARADISE
| 3g - RRP £15.00 |
There was a choice of two shades and I chose the shade Paradise, which is a very shimmery sort of cherry blossom pink shade. It is a blush which can also be used as an eyeshadow or highlighter. I chose the brightest one because I thought I might be able to use it in my crease, but I didn’t realise it would be shimmery or quite as bright as it is. I will hopefully figure out a way to use it on my eye, I most likely wouldn’t use it on my cheeks because of the shimmer and to be honest, the colour scares me a little!

EYEKO FAT EYE STICK IN SATIN
| 4g - RRP £12.00 |
It is like a cool toned taupe shade and it is quite smooth to apply. It is not really a product that appeals to me. I have used various chubby eye sticks in the past and I just prefer potted cream eyeshadows.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME..? SHOWER SCRUB
| 200ml - RRP £7.00 |
This is just a body scrub, but it is kind of more liquid in form than your regular body scrub.

BALANCE ME CONGESTED SKIN SERUM
| 15ml - RRP £16.00 |
I don’t currently use a serum because I see it is as an unnecessary step in my skincare routine, but this product does smell quite nice. You can actually smell it before removing the cap.

BEAUTYPRO EYE THERAPY UNDER EYE MASK
| 3 pairs/3.5g - RRP £4.95 |
You get one sachet with one pair of eye masks inside. I’ve never tried eye masks before, so I am intrigued to give it a go. I’ve got a slight purple/blue discoloration under my eyes, so I wonder if these masks will help.
This was an ok box, but nothing really excited me. This will actually be my last box for a while. I like to periodically un-subscribed and then re-subscribe, so it won’t be my last ever box.

Perfume Power! - Next 'Paradise'

I first smelt this perfume after receiving it in a mini gift set about ten years ago and I have loved it ever since. This 100ml size is my first bottle of it though, other than the tester/sample size. The bottle is quite tall and it is a sort of clutch bag shape if you turn it on its side. The bottle is a simple design and you can easily see how much perfume you have. On mine the spray pump sometimes gets stuck in the band around the neck of the bottle, but the problem is easily solved. I can’t find a specific note list anywhere for this perfume, but on Next’s site it is described as, "a light fruity fragrance with white florals and green notes". To me it smells really fruity and fresh. It is also multifunctional because it is quite strong and sexy, so perfect for a night out, but it is also not too overpowering and smells fresh and fruity enough for day time wear. It is actually an eau de toilette, which means that it is less concentrated, but I find that it is st...

TAG - The Good, The Bad, The British

Photo: EnchantedIvyGifts.co.uk I was browsing my subscription videos on YouTube and I saw that EssieButton uploaded a new TAG video called The British Tag, and after watching it I decided I wanted to do the TAG too. I believe this TAG was created by BeautyCrush , so all credit is awarded to her. 1. How many cups of tea do you have a day & how do you take it? I drink around three cups of tea a day and I take mine with one small sugar and a bit of semi-skimmed milk. Tea is also the only hot drink I like. 2. What is your favourite part of a Sunday roast? My favourite part of a roast is the vegetables. I love kale & leak and broccoli! My Mum’s gravy is also to die for. 3. What is your favourite dunking biscuit? I don’t dunk biscuits anymore, but when I was younger I loved dunking Bourbons. If I was to dunk a biscuit now, I would probably choose either a Rich Tea or plain Digestive. 4. What is your quintessential British pastime? I love visiting ruins/m...
