Hello all!
Once again.. terribly sorry about my unplanned hiatus! Life just got the better of me!
Anyway, I'm back today with an old school Birchbox review! I kept getting adverts on my Instagram (@youfounderin if anyone wants to follow) about this month's box, and how you were getting a free eyeshadow palette worth £23. Safe to say, I was sold.
The postman came this morning, parcel in hand, and I was super excited to see what goodies I received. I was not disappointed! Here is what I got.


Overall, I am extremely happy with the contents of this box! There isn't one thing that I don't like! Plus, every single item I got was full size?!
lets break it down...

Loc Eyeshadow in shade 'Moonlight' (RRP £8)
I've tried a few items from Loc before, but not this. I have yet to wear it out, but first impressions are very positive. It's really creamy, and a beautiful shimmery neutral shade that is perfect for any occasion. I think i'll get some good use out of this.

Anatomicals Shower Gel (RRP £4)
I used this in my shower this morning and it was really nice. It smells quite subtle, but it is a really nice smell. Plus, it didn't make my body itchy or red (which a lot of products do!) so that's great.

Coco & Eve 'Like a Virgin Super Nourishing Coconut & Fig Hair Masque' (RRP £9)
Next, onto probably my favourite product from this box. First of all, the packaging is absolutely GORGEOUS. I am in love with the colour combination, the choice of typography (can you tell I'm a Graphic Designer?) Not only that, but I used the product this morning in my shower and it made my hair so smooth, and it smells gorgeous. A huge win for me.

Luxie '205 Tapered Blending Dreamcatcher' (RRP £11)
This brush is SO fluffy. I was so surprised, but in a good way, obviously. The brush itself looks really cute, and it blends eyeshadow beautifully. I can see this being a staple for my eyeshadow.

NABLA Cosmetics Diva Crime Lipstick in 'Cosmic Dancer' (RRP £11.90)
This is a beautiful, creamy purple-red lipstick. I love the packaging on this, and it just glides on my lips. it's quite a bold colour, so I'm not 100% sure when i'll where it, but i'm sure i'll find an occasion.

The Beauty Crop Eyeshadow Palette in 'Espresso Yourself' (RRP £23.00)
Lastly, the free eyeshadow palette! I won't say too much because I'm going to give it a proper use and review it on my blog later, but first impressions are positive. The shades (especially the shimmers) are so buttery and creamy, and the shade range is completely up my street.

So that's my Birchbox contents! Thanks for reading!!

I know I am so late to the game, but on the 27th February, I finally caved, and bought a Birchbox. I only decided because I had a code that got me it for only £7, rather than the usual £12.95 including postage. (Absolute bargain!)  I'm only just getting round to writing this post now, but better late than never, right? I have to say, I was really pleased with it! So much so that I got the March one as well! (post on that coming soon!)
So as you can see above, I got a lovely selection of things (all for under a tenner!), and i'm going to talk you through them all. Enjoy!


 First up is a hydrating shampoo from "Electric Hair". Retailing for £17.50 for the full sized bottle, I was really happy to get this. I've never heard of this brand before, but I am excited to try this. If it's any good, i'll put a full review up on my blog, so look out for that. Birch box claims that this shampoo boosts moisture and restores shine, which would be lovely. Fingers crossed it works!


 Next up is this radiance serum from "Caudalie", another brand I was unfamiliar with. This retails for a whopping £45 for the dull version, so again, I was super happy to get this. I've tried this once or twice, and it feels so smooth on my skin. I will continue to use it, and let you know how I get on!


I also received this really cute bath and shower wash from T London. This is scented as chamomile and green tea, which i've never been a fan of, but this smells really nice! It's very subtle, but nice none the less! This is £6.50 for the smallest full size version, if anyone was wondering.


Next up, a product I really wanted to love, but I didn't. It's mixed berry oats, and it sounded delicious, but I tried it today, and I just wasn't a fan. That's not to say others won't like it obviously, sadly, I just didn't.


I also received this fat eye stick from Eyeko. It's £16 for a trio of them, so again, super pleased to have got this. I really love this, it's such a shimmery, beautiful shade, perfect for adding a subtle amount of glam to your makeup. This is perfect for both evening and daytime wear, but i'm wearing it most in the evening. I think the shade is "Gilt", but i'm not 100% sure.


Last but not least, it's a beauty bloggers favourite, that I have yet to try until now, it's the "Benefit High Beam" highlighter. I have yet to try this, but i've heard great things from it, so I have high expectations! This retails at £19.50 for the full size of it, so again, super happy to have received a sample of it.

And that's what I got from Birchbox, i'm super happy with everything I received!
Thanks for reading!!
