June's Birchbox

Following on from last week's post of what I got in June's Glossybox, which you can read here, I thought I'd keep things even by doing a post on what I got in June's Birchbox as yet again, I can't decide which was my favourite!

MeechNMia Brow Liner -  RRP £12.99

The first of the full sized items from a brand I've never heard of. I got this in the shade #22 which is the middle shade which seems to be a fairly alright shade for me. I don't usually use pencils for my brows as I don't have time for that during the week but this may be worth a shot when I've got more time of my hands. 

Ecotools Perfecting Blender Duo - RRP £9.99

And the second full sized item! I was obsessed with my Real Technique's makeup sponge and haven't actually used any other's so I'd be interested to see how this one compares. I also love how you get two different sizes for different application styles.

Cowshed Cow Pat Hand Cream - RRP £8

The third and final full sized item! I really like Cowshed products and I'm currently running out of my hand cream on my desk at work so this came just in time.

Scrub Love Coconut Oil Body Scrub - £11.95 for the full size 

I got the charcoal version of this in last month's Glossybox and love it. It's a brilliant rough scrub which buffs away your dead skin and really brings life back to it. The charcoal one does leave nasty looking black marks in my shower so I'm hoping this scrub will be just as good but without the mess it leaves behind.

Origins Original Skin Renewal Serum - RRP £32.50 for the full size

A brand which I think everyone knows and loves. I couldn't wait to try this so have done so for the past few nights and I'm very pleased to see that a little goes a long way as I'm really enjoying using this so far!

Although it's called Birchbox, this month is more of a Birch-bag as it also comes with a beauty pouch for you to store all your travel essentials. A nice wee extra just in time for any Summer adventures!

June's Glossybox

Just when I was trying to convience myself to cancelmy Glossybox subscription to try help save money they went and sent such an amazing one for June. So good I just had to post about it and show you what it includes.

Here's everything I got in the box;

BeautyPro Black Diamond - RRP £4.95 for 3

I have been looking for a mask like this in SO long. We can't deny the gross pleasure there is when someone takes off this masks to see all the blackheads still stuck on. It's also so affordable that I really hope this is a good one as I'd love to do one of these on a weekly/fortnightly basis.

111 Skin Space Defence Bright Eye Lift Gel - RRP £110 for the full size

Yeah, that price isn't a typo, this would actually cost over £100 for the full size! I physically dropped my jaw when I saw the price so will be interested to see if spending a lot more money really does give you a much better product.

Sleek Makeup Power Plump Lip Crayon - RRP £5.50

I've already tried this out and love it. Such a natural shade which really does give the tingles to plump your lips. A definitely your lips but better product.

Himalaya Since 1930 Purifying Neem Face Wash - RRP £3.29 for the full size

I've never heard of this company and have to say it doesn't fill me with much excitement. It does look cheap and is on the more affordable side so if it works well then atleast I could find myself saving a few pennies!

Batiste Stylist Oomph My Locks XXL Volume Spray - RRP 4.29

I was so excited to see this product in here as I've been intrigued by this range since I heard Batiste was moving into styling products. I am always on the look out for a product to give more volume in my hair so I've got my hopes set on this one. 

Manna Kadar Costmetics Sheer Glo Highlighter - RRP £22.50 for the full size

Im pretty sure I've heard of this brand before through a beauty box but cannot remember what it was or what I thought so it! I am getting more into highlighters now though so excited to try this one out.

Not only was there 6 amazing products but also a sneak peek of the new novel coming out by Louise Pentland. I've watched her on youtube for years now so have been getting excited about this book since she announced it so this was a very nice surprise!

New Favourite Highlighter

When looking through my recent posts for some inspiration I couldn't believe that I haven't actually shared with you my new favourite highlight so here it is!

'Light Up Your Face' Luminizer Palette from Essence offers 3 different highlighter shades. Admittedly, I've only actually used the one on the far right but I absolutely love it and think it's worth getting the whole palette just for this one shade. It gives the perfect balance of beautiful glow which isn't too dazzling and in your face. This also sits so naturally on top of make-up and last throughout the whole day without topping up at all. 

On the top is Essence and on the bottom is Mary-Lou Manizer

The whole palette is just £3 which just seems ridiculous! I'm yet to actually see Essence on the shelves anywhere but if you do then I would definitely recommend picking this one up. I've ever been using it more than my £17 Mary-Lou Manizer which just shows how great it is!
