Glossybox February 2015//♥!

This is what was in my February Glossybox, I'm going to do this every month as I always find some amazing products and brands from it. Hope you all enjoy it! 

Marsk Mineral Eyeshadow; Fifty Shades - £14.49 for 1.2g (www.marsk.co.uk)
This is such a pretty shimmery grey, it goes on nice and easy then stays on all day! Glossybox recommend applying with a wet brush for a more intense shade.

Royal Apothic Tinties Lip Butter; Kissed - $14/around £9 for 3.4g (www.royalapothic.com)
I am in love with this packaging, It's so pretty! This has a light fruity smell to it, it's also really moisturising and adds really nice subtle colour. It has Argan Oil, Almond Oil & Grape Seed Oil which are all amazing for the lips.

So Susan; Rose Quartet Lip & Cheek Palette - £8 for 4g (www.sosusan.com)
This palette has such pretty colours! My favourite is the lightest pink colour that I use on my cheeks, they are so easy to blend out and last all day!

got2be; All Star 10 in 1 styling treatment  - £4.07 for 100ml (www.boots.com)
I've used this once and already I love it. My hair was so soft, shiny & smelled amazing. You only need a really small amount at a time, I used 3 pumps. It really keeps your style in place and I didn't have to use hairspray.

Wilkinson Sword; Hydro Silk - £9.99 (www.wilkinsonsword.co.uk)
I'm normally allergic to most razors with the soap round them, but this one has a moisturising serum which has Shea butter in it, which my skin seems to be fine with. It's actually leaves my skin really soft & has a nice subtle scent!

I hope you enjoyed this, i'd recommend this to anyone interested in trying lots of new beauty products as I'm always getting things I've never heard of and I love trying them all out!

Birchbox February 2015//♥!

Here's what was in my February Birchbox, I'm going to do this every month as I always discover some amazing products and brands from it. Hope you all enjoy it!

This month Birchbox launched a new box which fits through your letterbox but doesn't have any less products!

theBalm cosmetics; Stainiac in Beauty Queen - £10 (birchbox.co.uk/shop)
This is a great product as you can use it as both a lip & cheek stain. It doesn't dry your lips out as some others can and blends out great on your cheeks.

Wild About Beauty; Rose Water Illuminating Serum - £22 (birchbox.co.uk/shop)
This smells amazing! I've never heard of this brand or any of its products before but I've been using this under my make up as a base or just before bed and it leaves your skin so soft! It also helps to keep my make up in place for longer.

Liz Earle; Botanical Shine Shampoo - £10 (birchbox.co.uk/shop)
I love Liz Earle! But I had no idea they did shampoo. This smells really fruity and it has made my hair so soft & shiny. It's got shea butter in it which is amazing for your hair!

T London; Darjeeling Bath & Shower Wash - from £6.50 (birchbox.co.uk/shop)
I've used this as a bubble bath and as a body wash and it honestly is so moisturising, it has a really light fruity fragrance so it's perfect if you're not a fan of strong scents! It's also great on my sensitive skin.

Cynthia Rowley Beauty; Eyeliner in silver - £11 (birchbox.co.uk/shop)
I haven't tried this yet but I have swatched it. The colour is amazing and feels really easy to apply, I'm really looking forward to using it.

The Chia Co; Oats + Chia - £4.95 pack of 5 (birchbox.co.uk/shop)
I haven't eaten this yet as I forgot I had it until just now! All you need to do is add hot water. There are 3 flavours available; mixed berry, apple spice & banana mango. They come in a pack of 5. 

I hope you enjoy this, I would really recommend Birchbox to anyone as there's such a wide variety of brands and products to try out, and who doesn't love getting a box of goodies to try every month? 
Ashley❤️!

Lush Haul Part 4//♥!

Hope you enjoy the final part of my Lush haul:-)! 

Snow Fairy - Christmas Limited Edition 
The first time I smelled this I absolutely hated it, but now it's one of my favourites. It smells like candy floss & pear drops & it has a bit of shimmer in it, what more does anyone need?

Snowman shower jelly - Christmas limited edition 
This has a really fruity scent like blackcurrants. It's so cute as its shaped like a snowman, you can either use it whole, rip some off or cut it up into more manageable pieces which is what i do.

So White - Christmas limited edition 
I wish I had gotten more of this, it smells exactly like apples which is really refreshing and makes my skin really soft!

Sweetie pie shower jelly - £3.50 100g
                                     £6.95 240g
This shower jelly is really fruity, it smells of cherries, coconut & blackcurrant. It's also really moisturising!

Rose Jam shower jel - Christmas limited edition 
I really thought I wouldn't like this since its floral, but it has lemon in it so it's a sort of fruity floral scent. It's also really refreshing and moisturising, I like to use it with Ro's Argan body conditioner.

Ro's Argan body conditioner £16.50 225g
This smells exactly like rose jam, you use it like hair conditioner for your skin. It leaves the skin amazingly soft for ages afterwards!

Big - £12.25 330g
I love this shampoo, it seems expensive but a tub lasts me normally about 2 months! It is amazing for dry lifeless hair & even on normal hair it just makes it more manageable. It also makes my hair soo shiny! 

Turkish Delight shower smoothie - £16.95 200g
I think this smells like Rose Jam (yum!). It's really nice and light on your skin, I like to use it as a shaving soap too. It is very moisturising & leaves the skin so soft!

Veganese - £4.50 100g
                £8.95 250g
                £14.25 500g
I really wasn't a fan of this conditioner, it's a really thin runny consistency and I prefer a thick conditioner. I have really long thick hair and it just didn't do anything for it, I really love the scent as its a really light herbal fruity scent, but it just wasn't for me.

I hope you enjoyed my Lush Christmas haul, Ashley❤️
