Birchbox Review - May 2014 - Harper's Bazaar Collaboration

-
I have just received the May Birchbox and colour me impressed.  It's a collaboration with Harper's Bazaar and I am really happy with the contents. Here's what I received:

This box suits me down to the ground and in all honesty there's only one product that I won't use.

My box contained:

Benefit They're Real Mascara (3g) - worth approx £6.88.  I haven't tried this mascara, so very happy to receive a travel size version which I will take with me when I travel.

Soigne Nail Lacquer -  This is full size worth £11.  This is a lovely bright orange colour called Persimmon which will be perfect for summer.  I love the packaging that this comes in and its free of formaldehyde.

Aromatherapy Associates Revive Morning Bath & Shower Oil - 3ml - worth approx £2.18 - I love putting these oils in my bath for a long soak and I already have a set from Christmas so happy to add to my collection.

Philip Kingsley One More Day Dry Shampoo - 50ml - worth approx £3.37 - this is the only product I don't really think that I will use as I have curly hair which is quite dry so I don't suffer from oily roots.  

Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Face Polish -  11.3g - worth approx £2.36 - I can't wait to try this out as I really like Laura Mercier products.

The Lifestyle extra is Imedeen Derma One supplements. This is a 15 day supply worth approx £19. These supplements help combat the first signs of ageing.

All in all a great selection and I love the design on the box as well.

As this is a collaboration with Harper's Bazaar there is a subscription offer - £12 issues for £12 (saving 76%).  If you want to take advantage of this offer go to www.hearstmagazines.co.uk/bz/birchbox.

What did you receive in your Birchbox this month?

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-
Image
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...
