Birchbox Goodies // February 2019

Well after January being the longest month EVER, February is here and has completely flown by in my opinion! I haven't had a lot of chance to sit down and write this review, hence why it's coming 2 days before the end of the month, but better late than never I guess! This month, Birchbox have teamed up with Not on the High Street to bring us a box filled with the perfect products for a bit of self-love. I absolutely love the floral design this month as well, it's really helping get me in the mood for spring! In this box, I received a LOC liquid eyeshadow, an Anatomicals shower gel, the Coco & Eve hair mask (I've been dying to try this), a Luxie blending brush and a gorgeous lipstick from NABLA Cosmetics!

LOC Liquid Shimmer Eyeshadow in "Moonlight"

RRP £8
I've had a few products from LOC in previous Birchboxes and I'm always pretty impressed by them and also quite surprised at how affordable they are, especially given the quality. I've never actually used a liquid eyeshadow before, but I've seen them all over Instagram at the moment as so many companies like Revolution, Huda Beauty and Stila have launched products like this. It took a little bit of time to get it to work for me, but I think the colour pay-off is beautiful, as you can see from the photo below, it was easy to blend out and lasted really well! I think if LOC decided to bring out more colours then these would be a fantastic dupe for the Stila Magnificent Metals liquid eyeshadow, especially as the Stila ones are about three times the price!

Anatomicals Shower Gel

RRP £4
This pretty much does what it says on the bottle - it smells nice, it gets you clean. Job done. That's all I can say about it to be honest, I don't mind the smell of it but I definitely prefer a stronger smell and a thicker consistency for my shower gels, but I think you'd really like it if you've got very sensitive skin!

Coco & Eve Like a Virgin Super Nourishing Coconut & Fig Hair Masque

RRP £9
As I said before, I have been DYING to try this masque for absolutely ages! This has been all over my social media for months - this one is the smaller version, but they also have a 212ml tub for £34.90. And yeah, that is really expensive for a hair mask, but honestly, I don't think I've ever used one as good as this! I get really dry hair and I find most masks don't do a lot to repair the damage, but this one left my hair feeling so soft and shiny! I really would recommend paying a little bit extra for something that works so well - after using this my hair felt like I'd just come out of the hairdressers!

Luxie 205 Tapered Blending Brush

RRP £11
Another product that pretty much does exactly what it says it does - I thought this worked really well blending out my eyeshadow. I also like the fact it's quite big and fluffy, as that made it really good for crease/transition colours!

NABLA Cosmetics Diva Crime Lipstick in "Beverly"

RRP £11.90
You can never really go wrong with red lipstick in my opinion! I've never heard of this brand before, but I'm really impressed with this product! It's really easy to apply, I didn't find it particularly drying like I do with most matte bullet lipsticks and the colour is absolutely gorgeous! I probably need to find a lip-liner to go with it though, as I did notice a little bit of bleeding and it's quite hard to get an even line with it, but I find that happens with most bullet lipsticks anyway.

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick "Morning After" Review

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in "Morning After" *New favourite lipstick alert*  This lipstick is seriously giving me life right now! I bought it a couple of weeks ago and since then I've been constantly reaching for it. It's part of the Vice lipsticks collection from Urban Decay, which comes in 100 different shades and 6 different finishes (Comfort Matte, Cream, Metallized, Sheer, Sheer Shimmer and Mega Matte) and they're priced at £15. This one is from the Sheer range, it's a light nude shade that's more on the pink side. What I really love about is how buildable it is in terms of colour; one coat and you just get that really subtle, pink sheen to your lips or you can build it up into a super-glossy pink look! The only bad thing I can say about it is that they haven't made this shade in the matte finish because it would be so perf! (I think the closest you'll get in this finish is "Backtalk")

Birchbox Goodies // April 2019

I'm writing this having just watched the latest Game of Thrones episode so bear with - I'm a bit emotionally fragile right now! (If you haven't seen it yet you are in for 90 minutes of OH MY CHRIST) A little bit late with this month's Birchbox post; I've started back at school again so it's been a little bit crazy but I figured I'd get this out while I've still got 2 days of the month left! This month's box is inspired by the healing power of crystals and enhancing your natural glow from within. Now, I don't really believe in crystal healing but I am all about that inner glow (plus they're beautiful to look at) so I was pretty excited by this box design! This month, I received a Benefit POREfessional primer, an ESTATE highlighter, an eye mask from Vitamasques, a Human+Kind moisturiser and an eye cream from Balance Me. ESTATE Cosmetics Dew Me Baked Highlighter in "Afterglow" RRP £10 Ok, so I wasn't really looking forw...

Birchbox Goodies // May 2019

Does anyone else have a major urge to just spend the next few months sitting in the nearest beer garden or is that just me? Summer is well and truly making its return and for this month's Birchbox we're celebrating being able to spread our wings (although I wish those wings were taking me to a beach). In this box, I got a Lord & Berry eyeliner, a toner from Sukin, a Beautaniq mascara, a face sunscreen from Mimitika and a hair mask from Philip Kingsley. Lord & Berry Line/Shade Eye Pencil RRP £13 I'm pretty sure I've received one of these in a previous Birchbox and from what I remember, I liked this product then and I like it now! I don't really use black pencil liner unless I'm doing a dark smokey eye, in which case I'll use it to line my bottom lashline. This one is pretty pigmented and also smudges out really nicely so it ticks all the boxes for what I look for in a product like this. I do think the price tag is a little expensive though, ...
