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?

Look Fantastic Beauty Box - March Unboxing

-

It has been ages since I've bought a Look Fantastic Beauty Box but after seeing some spoiler pictures on Facebook I decided to use my glossy credits to get this months box. Normally the box cost £15 including postage, with my glossy credits it took the price down a little to £9.35. The box this month is has a lovely white and blue design on top with a pinky purple base, which I will be keeping and reusing. It also comes with a copy of the latest Elle Magazine. From Rituals is Cherry Blossom & Rice Milk Soothing Hand Balm  70ml (£9.50)- a lovely floral lotion made with Shea Butter and Organic Rice Milk, the lotion replenishes and rejuvenates hands. Rituals are always a welcome brand I enjoy getting in boxes. Eos Lip Balm  7g (£6.50) in Strawberry Sorbet - Not actually a brand I've used before, but a handy balm to have in the makeup bag. Probably not something I would take out and about with me as I find the shape awkward for travel, I prefer small stick balms. This ba

Great weather calls for great sun protection with Alteya Orgaincs

-

I'm loving the great weather we've been having so far this week....has summer finally arrived!? With temperatures up to 30 degrees in Scotland and soaring up to 38 in parts of England by Thursday, sun protection is a MUST if you are planning to leave your house even if all you do is sit in your garden. Really you should be using an SPF product daily regardless of the weather...yes even if its raining! As an outdoor worker (postwoman) a good SPF is top of my list all year round but especially at this time of year! Alteya Organics Whole Body Sunscreen * (£13.40 for 90ml) is enriched with emollient botanical butters and oils to hydrate the skin and protect against damaging UVA and UVB sun rays which cause sunburn and premature aging. So what is SPF and why do we need it? SPF or sun protection factor measures the level of protection a product will give you and how much longer it will take your skin to burn when wearing sunscreen vs not wearing sunscreen. Alteya's Whole

Sukin Blemish Control Kit

My skin is quite prone to spots and blemishes so I really wanted to find a product that would help to control breakouts and reduce the redness I have. I've used Sukin products before but never knew they had a blemish control range until recently. The  Sukin Blemish Control Kit * (£19.95) contains 4 products to help calm and clear the skin, three are 50ml and one is 15ml so decent sized samples, and handy for travelling with. Clearing Facial Wash purifies the skin while removing dirt and impurities with Quince and Pomegranate. Pore Perfecting Toner refines and refreshes the skin with Eucalyptus, Tea Tree and Mint. Spot Banishing Gel helps to fight breakouts with Willowherb, Salicylic Acid and Eculyptus, while the  Oil Free Moisturiser clarifies and balances the skin with Willowherb, Quince and Moringa. Willowherb is said to fight the causes of blemishes in just 30 minutes! And while I didn't see a huge improvement that quickly, I did notice a big difference withi
