Birchbox November 2015 Review

-
I think that beauty boxes are a great way of trying out lots of different brands and they make a great treat every month.  I have been loyal to Birchbox for a number of years now and they rarely disappoint.  I have just received the November box and I am very happy with it.  I love the pretty shell pattern on the box, so I will definitely be keeping that for storage.  Here's what I received in the box:
Birchbox November 2015
  • Living Proof frizz nourishing styling cream - 30ml.   This product stops frizz so is perfect for me.  I have heard many good things about this brand so I can't wait to try this out.
  • REN Wake Wonderful Night-Time Facial - 10ml. This is a night-time mask that contains a blend of glycolic and lactic acids which trigger cell renewal whilst you sleep.  I love REN products, but I haven't tried this one yet so really glad to have this one in my box.
  • Delarom Acquaconfort Cream - 15ml.  I haven't heard of this brand before, but this product contains almond, apricot oils and vitamin E to nourish and soothe dehydrated skin, so it's perfect for me.
  • Lord & Berry Silhouette Neutral Lip Liner - 0.5g.  This clear lip pencil means that your lipstick won't bleed.  Funnily enough I bought a similar product at Sephora recently so I can't fault Birchbox for including this useful item in the box.
  • Beauty Protector Beauty Cream Body Lotion.  This is a rich, nourishing body cream that is perfect for winter to keep my skin soft and moisturised. 
  • Finally I received Thumbs Up Rosa Nail Wraps.  I have never used nail wraps before, but I will give them ago as they are a really nice pattern.
All the items in the box are available to purchase from the Birchbox shop. Another great thing about Birchbox is that you can earn points for buying the box, reviewing the products and making purchases from their shop and the points seem to add up really quickly.  I bought a few things from the shop a few months ago using my points which I will post about shortly.

Birchbox costs £12.95 per month and if you sign up using my link below, you will receive £5 in points to use in the Birchbox Shop (I will received £10 in points in November and £5 in points after November).

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 definitely reached mor

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 closed.  After use switch
