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!

Birchbox October 2015...❤️

I haven't done a post about a Birchbox in a while so here's everthing i got in my October one:-)...

PARLOR smoothing blowout spray - £17 for full size

This smells soooo good, just like peaches! It's a 'tonic' to combat frizz, protect against heat damage & makes hair hold a style for longer. You use it on damp hair before blow drying. I cant wait to try this! 

 Rituals foaming shower gel - Indian Rose & Sweet Almond Oil £8.50

You only need the smallest amount and as soon as it hits the water it turns into a foam. It has such a lovely scent that lasts on your skin even after the shower.

When™ Travelmate sheet mask - £25 for a pack of 4

 I can't wait to try this, i love normal face masks but have never tried a sheet one. I'm hoping that this will help my dry skin.

 100% Pure lip glaze - Watermelon £19

This is such a nice subtle colour that is buildable and can be worn anytime. It is made with avocado and cocoa butter to make sure it moisturises & nourishes your lips when worn!

 English Laundry No.7 Scent - £60 for full size

I love English Laundry scents, they are so fresh and sweet and i never have to top up when i'm wearing them as they last all day. I'd never heard of this brand before i got Birchbox but now it's one of my favourites.

Bioderma Sensibio H20 - £10.20 for full size

I'm so excited to try this as i've always wanted to, i normally use Garnier/L'Oreal Micellar waters or Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish to take my make up off so it will be a nice change, especially as it's for sensitive skin:-)

Lush Haul..❤️

I went to Lush Buchanan Street in Glasgow today, it's such a cute little shop. I'd never been to that one before AND they had Christmas & Hallowe'en products in so it was the perfect excuse for me to get some treats:-) Here's what I picked up..

Snow Fairy - 100g £3.95

This was the first thing i seen when i walked into the shop! I picked one up instantly, i was gutted when my last bottle from last year ran out. Snow Fairy is just one of those scents you never get sick of. It smells just like pear drops & candyfloss. What could be better?

The Experimenter - £3.95

I am addicted to this bath bomb! The scent is exactly how a Lush shop smells, is beautiful in the bath, so relaxing and makes your skin really soft. It makes your bath a purple/blue colour with lots & lots of gliter, you need to try this.

Sparkly Pumpkin - £3.65

I didn't get the chance to try this last year so i definitely had to pick one up (especially since it's covered in glitter!) The scent to me, is fruity but also quite spicy. Perfect for a cold halloween night.

Creamy Candy - £2.95

This is one of my all time favourites from Lush. They have changed it a bit since the last time i bought one so i had to try it out. It smells just like Snow Fairy!

Granny Takes a Dip - £3.65

 I was never a fan of the Bath Bomb version of this other than how it looked, but i love this. The scent is very warm and spicy, you can definitely smell the pepper in there. I can't wait to try this!

Lord of Misrule - £3.95

This is my first ever Lord of Misrule bath bomb, i've never really fancied trying it as i didn't think i would like it having never smelt it. I can't wait to have a bath with this after smelling it, i think its quite similar to Granny Takes a Dip as it's a nice warm spicy scent. I have a feeling i will be addicted to this like everyone else seems to be:-)!

Hope you enjoyed..

Thanks for having a wee read..

Happy Birthday to my blog:-)

I can't believe it's already a whole year old!
