The Melt Crowd - Flamingo Candles..❤

Hey everyone! I am in love with this new subscription box I got so I had to share it with you!

I am addicted to subscription boxes, so when I seen this I knew I needed it. It's called "The Melt Crowd" by flamingocandles.co.uk it is a wax melt subscription box which is only £10 a month! You receive 8 wax melts (which have a value of £2 each) and with your first box you get a free warmer! You will receive 8 different melts with no repeats for at least the first 3 months then after that you may begin to receive repeats. 

In my first box I got; WILD Strawberry Millions, Pina Colada, Cheesecake Crunch, Lemon Curd, Gin & Tonic (apparently it's world gin day on the 11th June, any excuse to drink gin I'm all for it;) 3 of them were The Melt Crowd exclusives, those were; Chilli & Coriander, Peach and Beach Please.

My favourite one was Lemon Curd. Its smells exactly like Lemon Curd but with a hint of vanilla. It melts really fast so it doesn't waste your tealight, they last for up to 30 hours burning time. I was surprised by the Chilli and Coriander one, I didn't think I'd like it but it's a really nice fresh scent! There wasn't a scent I didn't like and I already can't wait for my next box! 

If you're anything like me and love wax melts, give it a go!

Current Faves..❤️

Hey everyone:-) here are some of the things I've been loving recently. I had a hard time narrowing it down this month! 

 

Mac Velvet Teddy (matte finish) - £15.50

My best friend bought me this for my birthday in January because she knew I was desperate to have it! I am addicted to it, I wear it almost everyday with a lip liner I have had for years that goes perfectly! It's just the perfect colour for every occasion. 

 

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush body spray - £4

This is by far my favourite scent from Soap & Glory. It's so fresh and fruity, I use it all year round too! It smells like fresh limes and vanilla! Yum!!

 

Make Up Revolution Pink Lights Highlighter - £3

Spectrum Collections Tulip Powder Brush - £8.99

This highlighter is the most perfect thing ever, paired with this brush it glides on your skin so well and you only need a tiny bit and it lasts all day. The brush is currently sold out on the Spectrum Collections website but is available on the Birchbox website!

 

The Body Shop Satsuma hand cream - £4

The Body Shop's hand creams are my all time favourite! I'm not ashamed to say I go through a lot of them in a year! They just work & smell the best, they're so moisturising and don't go that horrible sticky way like some do. They're also available in so many different scents.

 

Soap & Glory Supercat Eyeliner Pen - £6

I am absolutely rubbish at doing my eyeliner! So i thought I'd give this a go as it was the pen style. It makes the application soo easy and precise and stays on all day! This and the Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner are the only two I've actually been able to do my eyeliner with!

 

L'Oreal Infallible 24H foundation - £9.99

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge - £5.99

I'm always on the hunt for a new foundation as I'm always getting dry skin and nothing seems to please my skin! So I decided to try this (shade vanilla) but with a sponge instead of my usual brush. This foundation stays on my skin all day (which none normally do!) I use the sponge damp, just soak it in water and it'll double in size, squeeze out the excess and you're good to go! It applies my foundation/concealer better than anything else! 

Hope you enjoy this, give some of the products a go! You won't regret it:-).. Ashley ❤️

Birchbox March 2016..♥

Hey everyone! Here's what I got in my March Birchbox♥..

Model Co More Brows - £13 for 3.5ml

I'm not really a fan of doing anything to my eyebrows apart from waxing. I'm scared I'll end up with two centipedes on my face! So i will probably pass this on to a friend who will use it.

Polaar, Polar Night Cream - £32 for 100ml

Ever since i got this, i have been using it. My skin has been soo dry lately and i have no idea why. Nothing has been helping it (I've even stopped wearing make-up for a while)! This has instantly helped from the first use, it really absorbs into the skin well & doesn't leave a horrible sticky layer! Give it a go!

Regenerate Enamel Science Advanced Toothpaste - £10 for 75ml

I'm not even ashamed to admit that i was most excited about this because its sparkly! But actually, it has helped my sensitive teeth alot from using it twice a day. It works to make your teeth whiter & reverse early enamel erosion.

Amika Nourishing Mask - £19.99 for 250ml

I love trying out new hair products, so i was excited to see this! First of all it smells sooo good, its also amazingly hydrating and magically gets rid of split ends. This helps my dry hair a lot!

Arrow Boost Colour Enhancing Lip Balm - £11

I've been loving this lip balm! i initially thought it was just a plain old lip balm, but it's so much more! It accentuates your own lip colour so it's unique to everyone who wears it, so it isn't just clear, it looks like you've put a colour on! What's even better is that it's cruelty-free, vegan, paraben-free and even gluten-free!

Indeed Labs Hydraluron Moisture Boosting Mask - £19.99 for 4 masks

These are amaaaaazing for dry skin, as soon as you put the sheet mask on your face it feels instantly hydrating. Leave it on for about 15 minutes and once removed just massage the remaining serum into the face. The hydrated feel last for ages after you've had it on. (They're also great for giving people a fright)!

Hope I've inspired you to try something new! The link's for everything are in their own title's.. Ashley ♥

February Beauty Favourites..❤

Hi everyone:-) Sorry for the lack of posts:-(.. But I'm back, so here are some of my favourite products just now!

Soap & Glory The Perfect Ten - £10

I have been loving this eye-shadow palette lately. I actually bought one in the boots sale at Christmas then got another for my birthday, so I'm well stocked up! It has every shadow colour you'd ever need, you can create so many different looks with it. 

Soap & Glory Peaches and Clean Deep Cleansing Milk 200ml - £8

I have fallen in love with this product It is soo easy to use! All you need is a couple of pumps applied to a wet face, massage it in, wipe it off and it honestly melts the make-up off your face. Then all you need it your favourite moisturiser! An added bonus is that it smells amaaazing!

Hersheson Kirby Grips - £3.99

This may be a strange favourite to have, but we all know how annoying it is to go for a Kirby grip and they all seem to have vanished (where do they go)?! This little tin helps me keep them safe so I don't have to buy a pack every two weeks! The Kirby's that come in it are also really good, I have really thick hair and they help keep it secure and they don't bend out of shape. I can't find the exact one I have but found similar (linked in title).

The Library of Fragrance Cherry Blossom 30ml - £15

I am obsessed with The Library of Fragrance, I just want all the scents! This one is a light fruity floral scent which I think is perfect for during the day, I wear it to work and I always get compliments on it. It reminds me of the bath bomb 'Sakura' from Lush. You can also get a smaller 15ml purse spray size for £10 (http://thelibraryoffragrance.com/products/cherry-blossom-purse-spray-15ml)

Make Up Revolution Eye Foils - £4 each

These are really beautiful when on, and very easy to apply. They're unlike anything I've ever used. All you do is take a small scoop of the colour, pop it on the metal tray, apply a couple of drops of the provided primer, mix it up and then apply. You can build it up or just leave one coat for a more sheer sparkly look. It stays on for hours and doesn't crease. I'd very highly recommend this to anyone. Colours from top; Emerald Goddess, Rose Gold (my fave), Black Diamond & Pure Platinum.

Kiehl's Mango Lip Balm #1 15ml - £8.55

I was suffering with dry, chapped lips with this horrible cold weather. This lip balm had been about the only thing to help. One of the best things about it is that it isn't sticky, so your hair wont get all caught in your lippy! You can also get Pear, Cranberry, Mint or Original.

I hope you can all find something to try out from this & love as much as I have! The links to everything are in each of their own titles:-) Enjoy, Ashley..❤

December Birchbox..❤️

This is the best Birchbox i think I've ever had, it came in a really pretty clutch bag rather than a box, which is perfect for Christmas parties! Here is everything i got...

Model Co Colour Essentials Lipstick in Stiletto - Trio with 2 other colours £15.50

 This is such an amazing colour, a classic red. I'm a bit scared of a red lip, i don't think i suit it, so i might give it away to a friend or if I'm feeling brave i might give it a go. I have tried these lipsticks in a different colour before and they really do last! I only had to top it up once all night.

Balance Me Congested Skin Serum - £16 15ml

I'm really excited to try this as I've been getting a lot of break outs lately. This gel has lots of ingredients including lavender, eucalyptus and chamomile which are all great at helping clear your skin. 

Skin & Co Sicilian Body Gel - £15 230ml

This has a lovely citrus scent that is perfect for your morning shower to help wake you up. It has olive oil in it which is great at keeping your skin moisturised in these freezing months!

Roloxin Lift Instant Skin Smoothing Masque - £79 10 Masks

 These masks are apparently like a mini face lift, it works by smoothing irregularities and stretching the skin taut. You apply it to damp skin and leave it on for 7-10 minutes after massaging it in for 10 seconds when it turns to a powdery consistency that's when you wash it off.

 Ciate London Paint Pot - £9 13.5ml (full size)

Ciate is one of my favourite brands, i only ever need 2 coats (1 with glitter shades) and all the colours come out amazing! They don't chip and last even without a top coat! Give them a go!

This is my favourite part!..

Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner - £18.50 (Full Size) 

This is my ultimate favourite eyeliner ever! I have previously written a post about it, you can read it here 

 Benefit Puff Off - £22.50 (Full Size)

I am sooo excited to try this! You can wear it on it's own or under/over makeup. The applicator looks like a little iron, its what you use to smooth the product under your eyes which has a cooling effect! This helps to combat undereye bags!

I hope you enjoy this, all the products mentioned are available from birchbox.co.uk

Lush Salted Coconut..❤️

Lush Salted Coconut Hand Scrub - £7.95 130g        

I love keeping my hands in good condition, so anytime I see a new product to try it's mine straight away! I haven't ever tried a hand scrub before this. It is so easy to use, all you do is take a scoop when your hands are wet and scrub, you can also use it on dry hands it will just give you a rougher scrub. It has fine sea salt which works to exfoliate and cleanse the skin and coconut oil which is very gentle and hydrating, the scrub also smells amazing, which is a bonus! I use this and then the Golden Handshake hand mask (£2.95) also from Lush. All you have to do with this is pop it in a bowl big enough for your hands to fit in, pour in hot water (enough to cover the product) and stir until it is melted. You then just pop your hands in the bowl covering them with the hand mask and keep them there for 15 minutes. It has Cupuacu and Murumuru butters in it which are the parts that help to hydrate your hands. It also has Argan oil in it which is great for your skin, especially if you have dry skin! My hands have never felt as amazing and soft as they do after using these!
