When your Birchbox is more summery than the weather outside 😂 Remember last month when I was complaining about the heat? I'd like a little bit of warmth back, please and thank you! This month, Birchbox are celebrating all things summer, with a box of treats that are perfect for warmer weather! In this box, I got a ModelCo highlighter, a GLAMGLOW mask, a Hyaluronic mist from Balance Me, an Anatomicals body scrub and a moisturising cream from Oribe! ModelCo Mermaid Glow Highlighter RRP £10 Anything mermaid-themed and I'm pretty much sold, let's be honest. I wasn't sure I'd like this at first because of all the different colours, but once I swirled my brush around the whole pan I got a really gorgeous glow! I think you could probably use all the colours individually as well which is good, but I love how this looked on the skin all mixed together. I found it didn't latch on to any texture on my skin and it lasted all day without leaving me with a glit...

Have to say, this heat is not exactly making me feel like a unicorn at this moment in time (cheers, Global Warming 😒) so bear with me while I pretend the sweat is actually some kind of magical glow. This month, Birchbox are celebrating all things unicorn with a box full of gorgeous treats for us. In this box, I received a Floss eyeshadow, a Marcelle mascara, a tinted moisturiser from Lumene (my absolute FAVE brand), a sleep spray from This Works and a Percy & Reed de-frizz spray. Floss Beauty My Everyday Eyeshadow in "Tokyo" RRP £12.50 I am a sucker for a shimmery pink eyeshadow, especially in the summer and this is absolutely stunning! It has brilliant staying power and it goes on like a dream. I find it works best if you apply it to the lid with your finger and then blend it out with a matte shade (I've been pairing it with my  TooFaced Just Peachy Mattes palette  and it's such a gorgeous combo for summer) Would I buy it again? Yes! Marcelle Xtens...

Well, at least my June Birchbox is giving me some summer vibes because this weather sure isn't! Is a bit of sunshine too much to ask for?  This month, Birchbox has teamed up with Paperchase for their box design and they're encouraging us to embrace some wanderlust and get out on an adventure (weather permitting). Paperchase is definitely my favourite stationary brand and I could easily spend all day browsing their products! This month, I received a Laritzy lip crayon, a Gimme Brow from Benefit, a Rituals body cream, an eye mask from Wander and an amika shampoo. Read on to see what I thought! Laritzy Lip Stix in "Plum" RRP £20 I was pretty excited to see another product from Laritzy in this month's box - I got a liquid lipstick from them a couple of months ago and it's honestly one of the best formulas I've ever used! This product is more of a lip crayon with a satin finish and the colour is absolutely stunning. My only criticism is that it real...

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, ...

Welcome back to the bubble! I've got another Birchbox review here for you and in honour of International Women's Month, Birchbox have created a design that's serving all the boss bitch realness! All the products in this month's box are designed to make a busy life that little bit easier so we can get on with running the world. In this box, I received a Beauty Crop bronzer, an eyebrow gel from Chella, a Generation Clay mask, a Caudalie serum and a Palmer's coconut oil shampoo, as well as a little sample of Charlotte Tilbury's Scent of a Dream. I also randomly received a liquid bronzer/highlighter from a brand called Rouge Bunny Rouge. I'm not sure if this was a mistake because there's nothing about it on the information card, but hey I'm not going to complain about an extra product! The Beauty Crop Bronzer Compact in "Sardinia Sands" RRP £8 I was actually really surprised at how much I love this little bronzer! I've always been...

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...

This was very nearly titled as "January 2018" because I still can't get used to the New Year 😂 anyway, hello and welcome back to my bubble! Today I'll be reviewing the January Birchbox and all the products I got this month! The Birchbox Team are definitely making sure everyone has a great start to the year with this super fun, super colourful box! It's definitely helping shift those January blues! In this box, I received a CLĒ Cosmetics cushion highlighter, a cleansing bar from Dr. Botanicals, a Philip Kingsley shampoo, an Afterspa face scrubber and a clay mask from Sand & Sky! I also got some adorable pom pom hairbands which fit with the theme perfectly!  CLĒ Cosmetics Essence Moonlighter Cushion in "Apricot Tinge" RRP £22 Cushion make-up has been around for quite a while now but it's not something I've ever really tried to be honest, so I was quite intrigued to try a cushion highlight. I am mega impressed with this one - you ge...

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... And I'm definitely in the mood after seeing the design for this month's Birchbox! This is definitely my favourite design yet and the products inside were gorgeous as well. This month, I received a Benefit Galifornia blush, a Rituals body cream, a sheet mask from Oh K!, a Lartizy liquid lipstick and a Percy & Reed hair mask. As a bonus Christmas treat, I also got a comb and two little chocolates from Hotel Chocolat (which obviously didn't last long at all!) Benefit Cosmetics Galifornia Blush RRP £25.50 I actually already own this blush - it came as part of my  Cheek Parade blush palette  and it's definitely a shade I've used a lot! It's a really pretty hot pink shade, and like all of Benefit's powders, it applies really easily! It is quite pigmented so a little goes a long way, but it's a perfect shade for summer if you want a pop of pink on your cheeks! Would I buy again? Definitely! Ri...
