Birchbox | February
A new month, a new birchbox! I had been patiently waiting for this since I received my January box and even kept checking Instagram to see if other people had received theirs. Also because I wanted to see if nyone had received the luxury diamond necklace that would be placed in just one box!
Then it finally arrived, I didn't receive the necklace (sad face) but I love the different products that I have received and going to share with you all what I have and hopefully win the second one that's up for grabs!

This month the box was enclosed in a green/blue cardboard to reveal the 'shine bright like a diamond' design. I love the fact that each box is uniquely designed and I will defintely be keeping the boxes as the come along.
This months welcome booklet once again detailed all of the products and special offers and explaining about the new LOC brand which have joined up with bircbox to sample their shadow sticks.
SPECTRUM COLLECTIONS TAPERED POWDER BRUSH
FULL SIZE
WHAT This vibrant brush makes powder application seem like light work thanks to the precisely-shaped tip and super-soft tapered bristles
HOW Dust the brush over your chosen powder and then apply to face where needed,the small head means you can get super precise!
OPINION I am always on the look out for new make up brushes soI was super happy to have recieved this. The brush is so soft compared to other makeup brushes that I have or use. I don't even want to use it because I don't want to ruin it (lol).

DERM EYES MAKE-UP REMOVER WIPE
BIRCHBOX EXCLUSIVE*
WHAT Elimiate all traces of your make up gently with this hypoallergenic cleanisng wipe. Ideal for sensitive skin to cleanse and hydrate the eye area without irritation
HOW Just wipe over the eye area until make-up is removed
OPINION There's not a lot that you can say about makeup wipes really (lol) but I did find this well moist enough to take off all my makeup at the end of the night and not drying out before I was finished - which is always a plus for me.
RRP £9.50
COCHINE WATER HYACINTH & LIME BLOSSOM HAND & BODY LOTION
WHAT Fragrance meets body care with this sweet scented formula packed with seriously good ingredients such as shea butter and aloe vera to smooth and hydrate.
HOW Massage into clean skin for soft, supple skin
OPINION This cream does smell wonderful and because I have the sample size it is small enough to carry around in my handbag and use when I need to. I just use it on my hands and it keeps it well moisturised and soft.
RRP £19
theBalm® COSMETICS FRAT BOY® BLUSH/SHADOW
WHAT The secret to youthful complexion? Fake that radiant flush with this pretty suits-all complexions blush
HOW Use your favouritebrush all over the blush and then apply to the apples of your cheeks or sweep over eyelids.
OPINION I don't really use eye shadow or blush as I don't think it suits me. The colour is really nice so I may save it for a giveaway or something in the future.
RRP £15.50
LOC ONE AND DONE SHADOW STICK (PERFECT CENTS)
BIRCHBOXEXCLUSIVE
WHAT Birchbox's first in house make up brand. Experience up to 11 hours of creaseless, waterproof colour in one handy stick. It has elimated the need for multiple brushes, blenders and primers and deliver effortless on trend colour in one easy swipe.
HOW Apply all over lids and blend with your fingertips for a soft smokey look or use a bold liner.
OPINION I tried this once and I don't think it suited me. It might be because I don't really wear eyeshadow but I felt it just looked so weird. I will try and use it more so that I get used to it but I did find the application really easy and also easy to blend aswell.

OLE HENRIKSEN TRUTH SERUM® COLLAGEN BOOSTER
WHAT Why not get a good dose of this miracleworker which uses a high powered vitamin C complex to smooth fine lines, plump and protect skin
HOW After cleansing,massage a small amount into clean skin both day and night
OPINION I looove the smell of this! It reminds me of a really tasty cough syrup (okay that might not sound nice but you have to smell it for yourself. I use it after I have washed and cleansed my face and it leaves my skin feeling so smooth and to finish off I just use my normal moisturiser.
