June Birchbox- "World Cup Theme"

Hey guys, 

sorry i've been away for a while- some stuff has happened that has taken a while to deal with. but now i'm back and have a review for you guys! :) i hope you're ready...:)

Today i am reviewing the June Birchbox for you guys, and let me tell you, it's AMAZING! and great value. The theme of this box is the World Cup, so Birchbox are sending out items from different countries. And this month i received some great products.

So, you may or may not know that Birchbox is a monthly subscription beauty box and each month you get between 5-6 samples to try out. The monthly box, that;s the one i get, is £10 + p&p (£2.95), so i pay £12.95 for my monthly Birchbox. 

This month Birchbox have upped their game and have definitely gave us a box worth the hype and more than triple the value of the box itself. 

As usual the box itself is just brown, but it's what's inside that counts.

In keeping with this months most talked about subject, all products were "World Cup"inspired, here are a list of the items, prices and countries they are associated with-

The items I received were-

1. Beautyblender and blender cleanser (USA) - £26

2. OPI mini nail varnish from Brazil collection (Brazil). full size = £11.95. 

3. Naobay body radiance lotion. Sample size. (Spain)- £14

4. Caudalie Vinoperfect SPF15 Day Perfecting Fluid. Sample size. (France)- £38

5. Silk+Honey Shea butter hair mask. full size- one item. (UK) £55 for set. 

6. Birchbox UK free item- Brazil inspired keying (Brazil) - FREE.

So guys, from the prices, you can see that this box is well worth it! Ranging from skin care, haircare, cosmetics and nail varnish- this box will suit everybody! 

I hope you enjoy this blog and certainly enjoy this months Birchbox!

Review of Sparkle Eau De Parfum by NEXT

So i was in need of a new perfume, and after shopping in NEXT today, i stopped dead in my tracks at the beautiful perfume display in front of me. on there i saw candles, defusers, solid fragrances and bottles of perfume in 3 different sizes. 
what's this perfume called i hear you say?.... 
*drum roll* 

 Sparkle (30ml) by NEXT- £7.50. 

Not only is the packaging to die for, but the little bottle is cute too! with little spots of 'sparkle' and perspex transparent lid, it is eye catching and christmassy. 

The fragrance itself is oriental scent with citrus notes and luminous floral tones with hints of wood. It lasts for hours, and smells divine. 

It comes in various sizes... so is perfect for gifts, stocking fillers and for personal use! 

 Solid Fragrance (5ml)- £4
Handbag size (10ml)- £4
Sparkle miniature bottle (30ml)- £7.50 (gift sets and candles also available.)

The solid fragrance is good to use as a 'top-up' or for layering with EDP when applied to pulse points. 
The 10ml size bottle is good to go in your handbag for when you're on the go and the 30ml EDO bottle is good for special gifts or for personal use in your home. 

so for the perfect present for your girlfriend, mum, sister or just a little token for yourself, pop into next now. this fragrance is selling out fast! 

Overall the product is amazing. it gets 5* from me. The packaging is cute, the bottle size is good for a fraction of the price of these 'branded' perfumes. it's a nice treat for myself and i'll definitely purchase this again. :)

Holy grail lipstick for $2!!

Hi guys, 
So from the title I bet you're wondering what brand I am talking about?... 
Well, if you're an avid YT beauty video watcher (like me) you'll already know which brand I mean... here it is

Wet n Wild Megalast lipstick in 'Cherry Picking'. (the colour selection is amazing too!)


And I've jumped on the bandwagon with this product a little late because they're impossible to get in the UK. I had to order this off Amazon for £2.50 so it cost me a little more than $2. But no complaints.

As you can see the pigmentation and colour pay off is amazing and it lasts for a good few hours. 

Only one flaw is that it's a little bit drying on the lips, but I use a lip balm or a lip butter underneath and it's totally fine! 
A great investment if you can manage to find it! Happy smiles all round!
