June | Birchbox | 2014

- I love the scent of this products I am obsessed with citrus scents and this smells beautiful.

- This is a very sheer lipstick, which I quite like. It smells incredibly fruity and it does leave your lips feeling very moisturised

OPI Nail Lacquer | The Brazil Collection | £11.95
A vibrant polish inspired by Brazil's tropical rain forests and sandy beaches. 
- As much as I love OPI nail polishes I am not a fan of this colour it is a glittery purple colour.

-I am really excited to use this product, as I bleach my hair it is in bad condition, I love hair masks!

- This is the item I am most excited about, I have heard everyone talking about this moisturiser. My friends who are make-up artists are obsessed with it.

A fun flip-flop keyring to brighten up your bag.

Current Favourite Summer Nail Polishes!

Hi Guys! I don't usually paint my nails on a regular basis but recently I have been changing my nail colour on a weekly basis! So I thought I would share 4 of my current favorite colours that I have been using!

1. This is 68 Generous from the MeMeMe long lasting gloss collection. A really pretty purple colour, I love the MeMeMe glosses as they are really opaque, in the picture above I used just one coat! They also last for at least a week without chipping which is really good for a "drugstore" nail polish! These glosses also have maxi brushes (wider than the standard nail polish brush) which makes the application really easy and smooth. You can purchase these on the MeMeMe website, they have a wide range of colours which vary from dark's to brights and they are currently on offer £4.00 each!

2. I recently purchased this polish from fragrancedirect, if you have never been on this website its 
well worth a look as these OPI polishes usually retail at £11.50 each but on the fragrancedirect
site they have a small selection of colours for just £3.99 each! This is a pretty pink with silver 
shimmer is such a pretty colour. its called OPI Pedal Faster Suzi and it was from the Holland Collection released for Spring 2012. I like this on my nails more than I thought I would as it is quite girly compared to what I usually wear. In the picture above it is two coats but when I use it on my nails I tend to use 3 coats as it is quite sheer. 

3. This is by far my favourite colour at the moment. I am obsessed with coral colours and this polish looks so nice next to a tan! My friend gave me this polish and I am so glad she did as I have got so much use out of it! The colour is beautiful and the MODELS OWN polishes are such good quality. This polish is called Coral Reef. I definatly want to expand my collection of MODELS OWN polishes as they have such an amazing colour range!

4. Last but not least I used this BarryM polish throughout winter and I am still using it now. I just think it is a really pretty blue and I love this on its own or with my models own Blizzard polish over the top. It is called Blue Moon.

I'd love to hear what polishes you are loving at the moment! 

Late | Birchbox May 2013

Hi Guys! Sorry about the lack of posts, I have just started working full-time again and its taken me a while to get my head around full-time work and looking after my 1 year old daughter!

I thought I would let you all know what I received in my Birchbox from May although you have probably all read other peoples posts on this! 

OPI | Nail Lacquer
For red carpet worthy mani, just paint on this gorgeous colour from the iconic nail brand between a base and top coat. Easy! Full-size, £11.50
- I am so excited about this, I love OPI polishes I find they are really good quality, they last on your nails without chipping for a long time and the colours are really pigmented you could just leave them with one coat if you wanted to. Also this is a really pretty summer coral colour, which I love! 

MURAD® | Hydro-Dynamic® Ultimate Moisture for eyes 
Science is at the heart of all Murad products and this clever blend of nutrients increases and maintains cellular hydration to the delicate eye area. Full-size £57.00
- I am excited to try this, I get really dry skin on my under eye area so I am hoping this will help, although I don't think I would spend £57.00 on it!

BIORGANICS HAIR THERAPY | Salon secret Elixir Hair Perfecting oil
This hair elixir smooths and tames flyaways for a picture-perfect ' do. Bonus: It's free from parabens and nasties. Eco thumbs up! Full-size, £12.99
- I haven't tried any hair oils so I look forward to trying this as I have wanted to try moroccanOil for a while but it is quite expensive this one is a lot cheaper so hopefully I like it! 

WEI™ | Chinese Rose Foaming Cleanser   
This gentle but effective cleanser is high in vitamin C, which helps your pores stay clear and your oil levels in check - leaving a refreshed, bright complexion behind. Full-size, £25.00
- I like WEI™ products but I am not a massive fan of the scent on this as its rose which I don't particularly like and I also have lots of cleanser samples to try, so I guess I will just add this one to the pile to try out! 

BEAUTY EXTRA - WEI™ | Pomegranate Buffing Beads
Revive dull skin with this scrub packed with pomegranate peel and other natural ingredients,. Blend it with your go-to cleanser for a mild exfoliant to rid you of your tired skin. Full-size, £13.00 
- I look forward to trying these as I have heard a lot of good reviews on them!

LIFESTYLE EXTRA - KUSMI TEA | Detox Tea
This healthy tea rids your body of pent-up toxins, boosts your energy and lowers your stress levels. Perfect for pre-event nerves! Full-size, £13.85
There is nothing I hate more than a TEA sample in a Birchbox, especially when its loose tea! PLEASE Birchbox Stop giving TEA samples!

So Overall I am quite impressed with this box my favorite items are the OPI polish and the hair oil!
