Birchbox October 2018 - Days Like These


Summer is gone and Autumn is offically upon us, so this months Birchbox is all about cosying up at home with a hot cuppa and relaxing with the help of some beauty treats.



The first product from the box is a hi-tech sheet mask from BeautyPro. With Vitamin C and Green Tea, this self warming foil mask relaxes your senses whilst deeply penetrating the skin to nourish, soothe and hydrate. Every subscriber will receive this in their box. I tried this out last night....the mask itself had alot of serum so it does slip around the face a little, but my skin felt good after use. I didn't feel the mask heat up at all which was disappointing. 



The second product which features in all boxes is a multi-functional detoxifying Charcoal Soap Sponge from brand Daily Concepts. A little bit messy so best used in the shower, this sponge exfoliates your skin from head to toe! Lasts approx 60 uses. Charcoal products are the in thing right now so this is a great product to have included in the box.



From a favourite Brand of mine Amika, is the Soulfood Nourishing Mask. A hair mask packed with vitamin rich sea buckthorn berry and jojoba oil, this mask hydrates strands while repairing damage and sealing split ends. I've used their nourishing mask previously and love it, my hair always feels fab after using this mask. Would highly recommend.



I've yet to try the shower scrub from What's in it for me...? but im sure I will enjoy it. Scented with orange and jasmine. Contains walnut shell to exfoliate and sweet almond oil to rejuvenate the skin.



Lord & Berry feature alot in beauty boxes, but im glad to see its not another eyeliner! Not far from it though with this Magic Brow pencil in brunette. Not something I'm hugely excited to see as I'm not great at filling in my brows but I'll give it a go!



Last but not least is a 2ml sample from Finnish brand Lumene, Hydration recharge overnight cream. Shea butter and birch sap work in harmony while you sleep to hydrate and nourish the skin. Lumene is a brand I've not tried much from in the past, but I have been eyeing up their Advent Calendar this year!



What's your thoughts on this months box?

March Love Lula Beauty Box

The March Love Lula Beauty Box* contains 6 products from brands including Balm Balm, Ayumi, Madara and Soul Tree, with the contents having a total value of £52 which is fantastic value for this box. Love Lula are making some changes to their monthly subscription which will be coming to an end in May. I will miss the surprise treat every month but don't panic! Love Lula will be making the boxes available to purchase on the store individually as opposed to being subscription-based. This provides the opportunity for future Beauty Boxes to be curated with a more defined theme or purpose, which sounds exciting to me and I can't wait to see what the coming months will bring. Anyway....back to the box in hand.... Balm Balm Super Light Coconut Cleanser (£15, 100ml) This gentle cleanser is made from blended coconut oils which have been mechanically extracted from virgin coconut butter making it a super light oil. It can be used on sensitive skin including the eye area making it perfect

One thing I love about skincare products is a good face mask...who doesn't am I right?! I was very excited this month to be given a chance to test out the Aura Manuka Honey Mask from Antipodes. It is suitable for most skin types, but especially great for blemish prone skin, so perfect for my skin type...in theory. The Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask * is £26.99 and comes in a 75ml foil tube inside a cardboard box (which can both be recycled!) As a little goes a long way, I can see this mask lasting a good amount of time. Containing a blend of Manuka Honey, Avocado oil, Carrot oil, Grape Seed extract, Pohutukawa flower extract and vitamin E alongside essential oils of vanilla and mandarin, this face mask is sure to leave skin soothed and deeply hydrated. Pohutukawa (known as the New Zealand Christmas tree because it flowers gloriously in December) contains antioxidants which help neutralize free radicals, while Manuka Honey contains anti bacterial properties to hel
