December Birchbox

So this months birchbox comes in an evening clutch bag. I love this bag. Its glittery but not overly. So now what's in the box or bag.

Left to right:

Roloxin - Lift Instant Skin Smoothing Masque

This mask says it diminishes pores, firms the skin and boosts radiance or up to 24 hours. So it sounds absolutely amazing. I will be trying this around christmas time most definitely.

Cite London - Mineral Love

This colour is so pretty, its a light pink with gold glitter in it.

Elemis - Pro-Collagen Marine Cream

This sounds really good, it is mainly for firming the skin, that I don't really need at the moment but I will still try it.

Benefit - Puff Off and They're Real Push Up Liner

I have samples of these two products already as am just obsessed with Benefit but you can never have to many. I love Puff Off and still unsure on the liner, not to great with liners. I only wear shimmery brown ones that look like eyeshadow. Which I guess defeats the point.

Model Co - Ultra Long Lating Lipstick in Kitty

The shade is quite a nice pale pink. It's not really my colour any more but still be nice to try, I go for nude or red nowadays.

Skin & Co - Sicilian Body Gel

A body gel that has quite a nice scent to it but not too strong as when they are too strong, don't know about you but I get put off quite a bit.

So that is this months box, I hope you like the sound of whats in it.

Benefit's Christmas Gifts

So this year I managed to get Benefit's advent calendar, I was so happy as last year I thought I ordered it but the order didn't process. Was a very sad time, but now I have this years just always facing me when I am in my flat.

Sadly I can't afford all the christmas sets they are doing this year, one day maybe but can't see that being anytime soon. Right, to the gifts:)

(ps these are gifts to myself- sad I know)

On the right is the advent calendar, this years one is only 12 days, sad but on the plus sad it is a lot cheaper than last years. The miniatures inside are Porefessional, Badgal Lash, Lollitint, Ooh La Lift, They're Real, High Beam, Total Moisture Facial Cream, Ultra Plush - Hoola, Ultra Plush - Sugarbomb, Watts Up, They're Real Remover and Rockateur.  Thats a long list, also it has 12 days of christmas that it sings, a beauty version obviously. 

Moving onto the tin, which I think I might use to keep the products I want to do reviews on, then pull them out so its a lucky dip of what I do everytime. These four products are inside, I already own them all...but my gimme brow was running low so thought why not get it in a set. 

Along with the Gimme Brow is Hoola bronzer, They're Real Mascara and High Beam Highlighter.

Amazingly this was a freebie, I know it is shocking, its £19.50 to buy as they sell it as well. I am in love with how cute it looks, and have yet to use it. It has four neutral and brown shades eyeshadows in with stay don't stray eyelid primer and they're real mascara. 

I hope you have liked this post, feels quite a short post. Please go ahead and follow me on any of my social media or even better all of them. :)

Though instagram is what I am glued to.

Cheerio:)

Morning routine and make up

The first thing I do in the morning is to clean my face.

I always use soap & glory, my current one being The Greatest Scrub of All. 

It's an instant radiance face polish. It helps to keep my spots away and instantly makes my face look more alive in the morning. 

It's the best drugstore product that I've found that actually helps with my spots. 

Before I start with my make up I use a headband to keep my hair off my face.

To start I apply a base of my foundation. I'm currently using Wild About Beauty Rose Water Illuminating Serum. 

I got this in Feburarys birchbox. It's normally £24 which is a bit more than I'd want to pay. 

Maybelline Baby Skin is a good drugstore primer that's more affordable. 

I apply the primer using a beautyblender. 

Foundation that I'm currently using is Sephoras 10hr wear perfection foundation. 

This foundation has medium coverage. 

You can see quite a few spots aren't as visible anymore, this being why medium coverage is needed if you have spots you want to cover up. 

Next is the concealer to apply to the last few spots that are visible. I also apply under my eyes to help brighten up my eyes. 

This is where I need concealer. 

You can see how the concealer changes the dark areas. 

Next is blusher. The brush is Sephora Pro Contour 74. 

The blush is Tarte Mirage. 

I really like this shade as it's not too pinky so doesn't necessary look like have blusher on. 

You can see a slight colour to the cheeks. 

Bronzer is next. 

My face is starting to look more defined once bronzer is on. 

Highlighter is next. I've only started using a highlighter but I really like using it. I'm using benefits Highbeam. 

Too Faced Cocoa powder foundation is what I use to set in my make up and smooth out my skin. 

After this all I do is my eyes. I put a base on my eyes first, Benefit Stay Don't Stray. 

Then just my eyeshadow, Topshop Long Weekend the brown shade. 

Final touches are mascara and lipgloss. The mascara is Benefit Roller Lash and lipgloss in Stila Stay All Day shade Nude. 

Please ignore the roots in my hair I'm trying to decide if I wanna get rid of my colour or not. 

Sephora Delivery

I was so excited when I saw that my sephora delivery had come today :)
