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.

Escada Collector's Edition Gift Set

I’ve always been interested in trying Escada fragrances, but there are so many to choose from and I didn’t want to risk buying a full size bottle. I came across this little gift set whilst I was shopping online at Boots and clicked buy straight away! All four fragrances are in a tiny, but cute 4ml potion looking bottle. Here are the four scents you get to try:- TURQUOISE SUMMER This bottle is a turquoise/clear theme and contains the notes; pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, peach, violet, orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. It smells really strong of orange blossom and kind of like a car air freshener. It does linger quite a while on the skin, but it is not really a strong scent. Overall I don’t like this scent. It doesn’t really smell of anything to me and what you can smell isn’t what I would call pleasant. I give this perfume 1/5 . BORN IN PARADISE This bottle’s theme is the same as Turquoise Summer and contains the notes; green apple, watermelo...

Serial Sampler #41

An advertisement popped up on Facebook with an offer of a free sample of this new fragrance and I clicked straight away! I have previously tested the original scent of this fragrance line and I loved it, so I was also expecting to like this one.   It is Born In Roma Yellow Dream by Valentino and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ A floral lift of a thousand rose petals, twisted with a new clean and fresh addiction. ” Launched: 2021   Type: Floral / Feminine (Donna) Notes Top: Italian Lemon. Middle: Rose Essence. Base: Clean Accord and White Musks. This is a very soft and delicate floral scent with a fresh musk hint. It is definitely more floral smelling than the original Born In Roma fragrance. I can’t really detect the Italian Lemon. I can pick-up a fruity sort of hint, but it definitely isn’t lemon to me. I can detect the very light Rose Essence and White Musk and it does smell like a clean scent. It smells like a lovely spring day to me. I w...
