Birchbox February 2017

By Zoe - 2/12/2017

This month I decided to re-subscribe to Birchbox. Birchbox is a monthly beauty subscription box, which retails for £12.95 a month, and that includes a delivery charge. I have really enjoyed the items which I have received so I thought that I would write a review of the products!

This month, Birchbox have partnered with Papier. Papier are a company who create stationary and cards, and their product designs are gorgeous, so naturally the design of the box this month is adorable. I received the green and white box design.

The first thing I received inside my Birchbox was a full size Spectrum Collections C06 eyeshadow brush. This brush is so soft. I own a few Spectrum brushes, so I know that the quality of them is great. Birchbox states that this brush retails at £5.99, however, you cannot buy this brush separately. Instead, it is sold in a set of eye brushes which retail at £34.99. Check them out HERE!

The next thing which I received was a POP eyeshadow trio. Every subscriber was guaranteed to receive this and the Spectrum brush. I'm going on holiday next month, and I think this is a perfect travel sized product! The eyeshadows are buttery, and on first impressions, they blend well. Check out the full size product HERE!

I received a travel size version of the Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Dry Oil, and I know this product works because I have been through several bottles of this. Not only can you use this product all over your body to revive dehydrated skin, but adding this to the tips of your hair reduces frizz. Check this product out HERE!

I was incredibly excited to receive this product, as I've been dying to try a new "leave-in conditioner". I've used it a few times since I received my box, and I've found my hair less frizzy and a lot more sleek. Check it out HERE!

I was super excited to receive the Keeome Hydration Therapy Mask. Keeome is a Korean skincare brand, and after using this sheet mask, my skin was softer. The morning after I used this mask, a few of my blemishes had disappeared. These retail for £29.99 for a pack of six face masks, so they definitely are a luxury item! Check them out HERE!

In addition to the products in my box, I also received a Cult and Smith Lip Lacquer in the shade Now Kith. I received this for free when signing up to Birchbox, by using the code CULT at the checkout. These actually retail for £21! When I first heard about the offer, I thought that Now Kith would be a completely unwearable shade, but it is actually a sheer nude and looks lovely! Check it out HERE!

That's all for February's Birchbox, I hope you enjoyed my post! XO

January Homeware Haul

By Zoe - 1/27/2017

January is the time for new beginnings and over the past few weeks, my parents have decided that they really "need" to re-decorate the entire house... but luckily for me this includes my bedroom! I am still due to paint my room, but I really wanted to share some of the things which I have recently bought for my room.

I am going to paint my room a light grey colour, but I really want to throw in some yellow furnishings, to brighten it up. I bought this bedding set from Next. It cost £38 but came in a pack with two duvet sets, which worked out at £19 each! Next's bedding range is so gorgeous, and the quality of it is amazing. I also bought both of these grey cushions from B&M Bargains for £5.99.

As well as the grey and yellows, I have also added hints of copper and this is a running theme in my house. My Mum is absolutely obsessed with copper, and it is seriously rubbing off on me! I purchased this marbled weekly desk planner from Sainsburys for £3.50. I also purchased the copper paperclips and binder clips from Sainsburys, and they cost £2 each. Not only are they excellent for planning my week out, but they make my desk look good! Check them out HERE!

This is an absolute steal that I found in B&M Bargains for £4.99. It is a copper wire bin, however, you could use it for any sort of storage. I bought two, one to be used as an actual bin, and the other to tidy up my shoes. They just look super modern, and I love them!

Focusing on the lights here, I bought these copper wire lights from Primark for £3. I have placed them around my perfume stand, and when they're turned on, they make my perfume collection look lovely. They also wrap really well around items, so would be great around curtains poles or around a metal bed. Check them out HERE.

Okay, a little less aesthetically pleasing, but my New Years resolution was definitely to become more organised. That's a lot easier said than done, but I found adding a cork board to my room has allowed me to add letters which are important. I can also write myself little memos, reminding me to do things. Having this board as helped me so much, as any important documents get pinned to the board, so I don't lose them. I purchased mine for £4 from a local stationary shop, but you can also find them in Home Bargains.

What would a blog post even be like without mentioning a new candle purchase! I found this Simply Home by Yankee Candle in B&M Bargains, and had to buy it. They were selling this last year in Asda, and I remember being obsessed with this scent, so I was genuinely gutted when I heard they had discontinued it. I know... life is so hard sometimes! HA. Anyways, I was super happy when I saw this in B&M! It adds such a lovely summer scent to my room, and looks fab, too!

That's my homeware haul... let me know how your room is decorated! Thank you for reading my post! XO
