Review | Birchbox October 2014

This months Birchbox is incredibly pink in theme with their awareness campaigne for Breast Cancer. It never really occurred to me that one little box could be so helpful in spreading such a large message. I honestly believe using Birchbox as a means to raise awareness is a wonderful idea. 

I really enjoyed this months box (not only for the theme) but for the colour - I like pink - and the products included. Some were a little on the different side, while some edge more on the traditional makeup box theme. Read on to find out why I loved this months box…

I love, love, love wearing soft pinks and with those hints of metal? Whatta match.

Heating Up: The Summer Edit

I love summer. So when summer decides to grace the lands of the ever rainy England, it can actually get pretty damn hot - shocker! I know.  

Love summer as I do, there comes a point where the heat can actually get a little too much for me (I'm not used to it, okay?) 

So here's a little collection of light, bright and florally pieces to get your summer wardrobe going.

Review: Glossybox - December 2013

Happy New Year!

… I know, I'm late… 

If dust bunnies could collect on a blog, well, I think I'd probably win a prize for how many could collect on my blog (oops!). So while this is a very, very, very late review to my December Glossybox, I still wanted to post it (as I actually had it ready to post when I received it, but simply didn't have the time). 

So without further ado…

Barry M "Touch of Magic" Lip Paint – Is There Such A Thing As The ‘Perfect Pink’?

So when I initially looked at the bright green stick, I must admit, I was met with confusion… and a horrifically coloured lipstick. Who would possibly wear green as an everyday colour? Bright green, for that matter. I quickly learnt that this lipstick was not; in fact, green, but a blank canvas, as it were. One in which reacts to your own skin in order to create a shade of pink, one individual to each person. I was sceptical, but when I first tried to buy the product, it was actually sold out in all of my local make-up stores, so this, in effect, made me want to try it so much more.

How does it work?

The aim of the lipstick is to create the best shade of pink suited to your skin tone. The lipstick works by using Alkali levels. When the lipstick is applied, the chemicals in the product aim to react to the Alkali levels on your skin. By doing this, the product is able to determine, through these Alkali levels, what shade of pink is best for you.
