Here's my Birchbox Review of the August 2014 box.  The theme of the box is Away We Go celebrating everything that makes summer getaways magical. 
Birchbox August 2014
Here's what was in the box:
  1. Number 4 Super Comb Prep & Protect (30ml worth £3)– a leave in conditioning spray to detangle and protect against heat and sun damage.
  2. Wild About Beauty Crème Eyeshadow in the shade Matilda (1.75g worth £13) - A long lasting satin finish shadow from Louise Redknapp and Kim Jacob’s paraben-free range.  This is a shimmery bronze shade.
  3. Nude ProGenius Omega Treatment Oil (5ml worth £9.67) – This nourishing oil is rich in omegas 3,6,7 and 9 for hydrated, smooth skin.
  4. Vasanti BrightenUp! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator (20g worth £4.33) – a multi-action exfoliator to ensure a renewed, refreshed complexion.
  5. Supergoop Daily Correct SPF35 CC Cream (I received 2x 3ml worth £4.08) – a natural shade-adjusting CC cream with SPF to smooth fine lines and even out skin tone.
  6. Lifestyle extra - The Proposal By Tasmina Perry – chapter 1 of this spellbinding and romantic novel, which spans 1950s London and present day NYC.
The box also included a small plastic makeup bag.  Overall, I am happy with the box. If you are interested in subscribing to Birchbox you can sign up here.

    The Nude ProGenius Omega Treatment Oil is amazing, though geared toward more mature skin, I think you'll like it especially as winter draws nearer. :-)

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-

I picked up the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer because it looked like it was a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. The Primark version costs £4.50 for 45ml and the Bobbi Brown Face Base costs £48.50 for 50ml, so there is quite a price difference.   I had always wanted to try out the Bobbi Brown product, so when I received a mini version in a gift with purchase goody bag I was really excited to try it out, but I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed.  I have quite dry skin and the face base did not have as much slip as I was expecting, so it didn't feel smooth when I applied my foundation. For the price I was expecting to love it way more than I did. It does have a lovely lemon smell which I really enjoy, where as the Primark version doesn't really have a fragrance.  Overall, I actually preferred the Primark version as it is thicker and it made for a better base for my foundation. It also seemed to be more hydrating. I have defini...

I have wanted to get an LED Mask for ages but with prices for some of them at over £400 I just haven't been able to pull the trigger and buy one yet. So when I saw the LED Light Mask in Primark for £15 I just had to try it out.  The Primark version targets 3 different skin concerns with 3 different types of light sources. Red Light - Use for Anti-Aging benefits by helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles Blue Light - Helps to remove acne causing bacteria and reduce skin  inflammation Yellow Light - Helps to improve rough skin, reduces appearance of wrinkles and skin redness To use you cleanse your face and apply soothing and hydrating products.  You can use with face cream, eye cream, facial mask, eye mask, essence, toner etc.  Press the button for 2 seconds to turn on and press again until the LED light that you want to use appears.  You then use it for 10-20 minutes.  It does advise that in case of sensitivity to use with your eyes c...
