Birchbox #5 - February 2016

I saw the sneak peek for this month’s box so I decided to re-subscribe again. What caught my eye the most was the Spectrum brush that is included. This month’s box design is also very nice and has the quote “Shine bright like a diamond” in the middle of the design. There was three colour themes for this month’s box; purple, blue and pink. I received the pink version. Here is what goodies I received this month:
Spectrum Collections Tapered Powder Brush
| Full Size - £7.99 |
I’ve seen these brushes before and they all look cool. The bristles are so soft too! It’s nice to get a different type of brush, instead of the usual eyeshadow brush that most beauty boxes tend to include. It is a great brush and I would probably just use it for applying blush because I prefer my powder brushes to be a bit larger.

LOC One and Done Shadow Stick in Champagne Problems
| 1.35g - £8.00 |
Every box this month includes this product, but you got to choose the shade. There were two choices; champagne or gold. I chose the champagne colour and it does swatch quite nice. I just wish that these types of eye pencils would twist up instead of requiring sharpening because it is less messy.

Herbalosophy Balance Shampoo
| 40ml - £16.00 |
It smells quite nice, but as it is a hair product it doesn’t interest me.

Korres Milk Proteins 3-in-1 Cleansing Emulsion
| 16ml - £15.00 |
I’m always up for trying new face cleansers and this one seems very beneficial with it containing milk proteins.

Aromatherapy Associates Revive Body Gel
| 40ml - £33.00 |
This product smells nice too. I’m not into body moisturising, mostly because I’m too lazy, so I probably won’t use this much. I have tried it on my hands and it was ok.

Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream
| 3ml (Sample Sachet) - £29.00 |
This is the BEAUTY BONUS product of the box. I’m not really interested in using this sample, but from reading the instructions it is a cream, but when you rub it into your hands it should turn to oil, which can then be applied to your face. I think that is what the ‘magic’ claim is.
It was a good box this month, but it just confirms the reasons I unsubscribed in the first place. I will be unsubscribing again, but I can’t promise that I won’t subscribe again in the future, especially if the sneak peeks look too good to miss.

What are your thoughts on this box?

Boots Fragrance Sampler Gift Set for Her 2015

I decided to treat myself to this little fragrance set. As you know, I am a perfume addict and I’m quite addicted to collecting perfume samples too! It’s this year’s Boots Fragrance Sampler set for Her. I saw last year’s advertised but I always thought it was a little expensive for what you get. The set basically contains eight samples of Boots best-selling female fragrances by other brands. The set comes in a small, thin cardboard box and each sample is set inside a plastic insert. You also get a small fragrance guide and the voucher, which is what you’ll need to get your full size bottle of your favourite sample. The eight samples in this year’s set are:- HUGO BOSS - Boss Ma Vie This is a 2ml sample vile in pipette form and can be exchanged for a 30ml bottle of the eau de parfum. “Inspired by the independent spirit of a woman, exuding a glow of femininity and confidence. Created around the cactus blossom, aiming to reinvent and modernize floral green notes ...

Glossybox #19 - December 2015

I have been really looking forward to this box as I knew it would be rose gold themed. All the products were carefully selected by the Beauty Blogger ReallyRee, for this special looking limited edition Christmas box.  Here is what I received:- être belle Golden Skin Caviar Eye Roll On | 10ml - £30.66 | This product is a bit odd and really doesn’t appeal to me at all! So Susan Statement Skin Highlighter Pencil in Starlight | 1.8g - £15.00 | This is a very strange colour and the cream shape is odd too. I am not interested in this product one bit. I prefer light pink highlighters and this is a yellow gold shade, not flattering at all for my skin tone! COLLECTION Long Lasting Nail Effects in Touch of Glamour (31) | 8ml - £2.99 | This nail polish looks really pretty and it is definitely my kind of shade (rose gold). I am looking forwarded to trying it on my nails. I think it would look beautiful on it’s own. Hylamide Pore Delete | 10ml - £18.00...

Katie Price 'Stunning' Perfume VS JoJo Siwa 'Be You' Perfume - Are they the same?

I was browsing on AllBeauty.com and looking at celebrity fragrances and I saw that one was listed for JoJo Siwa. I had heard of JoJo before, but I don’t really know anything about her. I clicked on it out of interest and when I first saw the image of the perfume, I thought maybe the wrong photograph had been uploaded until I clicked on it and saw the description of the perfume. When I first saw the photograph, before I clicked on it to read the description, I instantly thought, that’s Stunning by Katie Price! I looked into it a bit more and compared it to Stunning. The JoJo Siwa “version” is called Be You. Photo Source: Perfume.com Stunning by Katie Price ·          Released in 2007 (12 years ago). ·          Contains the notes; Mandarin Orange, Jasmine & Patchouli. ·          Classed as a floral scent. ·       ...
