Birchbox December Twinkle All The Way

-
Embracing the festive season with a sparkly box and some extra goodies, December's Birchbox is by far the best they have done in a long time! Normally there are one or two products I won't use, but this month I love EVERYTHING!  Let's take a closer look....





LARITZY Cosmetics - Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in shade Tidal. This liquid formula delivers rich, pigmented colour that won't budge! The first full sized product in the box that everyone will recieve. And worth an amazing £20!

Oh K! - Bubble Sheet Mask. An innovative mask that reacts with the oxygen in the air to form tiny bubbles when you place it on your face. It does make for a serious funny look but purifies and smooths skin for a radiant complexion. Its a fun sheet mask and I love the tingly feeling of the bubbles. Leave on for ten minutes and rinse with warm water. Another full size worth £7.50.




Rituals - The Ritual of Ayurveda Body Cream. Combining an irresistible aroma of Indian rose with pampering Himalayan honey, the body cream nourishes and hydrates skin quickly. A really good sized deluxe sample coming in at 70ml (full size £19.50)

Percy & Reed - Totally TLC Hydrating Mask. This mask is designed to give moisture to all hair types. Leaves hair soft, manageable and conditioned. A sachet sample of 25ml, which depending on hair length may give two uses. (full size £22) 




Balance Me - Flash Cleanse Micellar Water.  Gently removes makeup and sweeps away impurities. This product is 99% natural,containing a blend of peptides, chamomile, neroli and mandarin to aid skins natural regeneration and fight signs of aging. A decent sample size 30ml (full size £16)




Extra this month included a Birchbox wide toothed comb, chocolate duo from the lovely Hotel Chocolat and a Benefit Roller Lash Mascara (when bought with code ROLLER)

Overall a great selection this month, a bit of skin care, body care, makeup, hair care and some sweet treats

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
