After march's Birchbox i unsubscribed for a while as i wasn't wowed with what i received and i resubscribed in August which also meant i got the free gift for new subscribers and who doesn't like free things (:
For anyone wondering my background is a Mickey Mouse blanket i didn't have my backgrounds to hand but who doesn't like Mickey Mouse (:
Can we just take a minute to look at this box and how amazing it is (: mermaid vibes.
The free gift was the purple and yellow bag which can be used for many things as its that waterproof material the other free gift was this lovely nails inc polish (i love nails inc polishes but cannot justify spending £14.00 on them) in real life its a lot more creamy white i dont know why its coming up almost grey in the photos the polish is called Queen Street for anyone wondering.
Spectrum Collections (FULL SIZE)
This is the softest brush i have ever owned i wish you could feel how soft this brush is. We had a choice of the mint one or the pink one and i dont like pink that much but love the colour mint so it was a easy choice i now want the whole collection but at £59.99 my bank cannot handle that at the moment lol .
Loc (FULL SIZE)
This little thing is a eye-shadow stick it claims to stop creases for 11 hours. I haven't had the chance to test that out yet as the box only arrived yesterday i do think its expensive for £8 but thats just me lol.
Number 4 (Birchbox Exclusive)
I have no idea if this is full size or not as it doesn't say in the leaflet you get with the box but it is meant to be £20 so if it is full size thats not a lot of product for the price you pay! You can spray this through dry or damp hair and it should give you loose shiny waves im interested to see if this does as my hair is slightly wavy and when i leave it natural it just looks like i haven't brushed it which is not the look im going for. (i shall do a review about this)
Merci Handy (FULL SIZE)
Iv seen this brand floating around on Instagram and have always wanted to purchase one as they remind me of bath and body works hand gel (before they changed the design of them)
The scent of this is called Hello Sunshine and both me and my mum say it smells like sun tan lotion which i love but if you dont then maybe this one isn't for you. To buy normally this would cost you £2.90 which is about the price of hand sanatizer.
Nuxe
I dont like things like this mainly because they irritate my skin. This can be used on your hair or on your skin and sells for from £20.00 it doesn't say if its full size or not so judge that how you will. There really isn't much i can say about this as im not even going to test it as i know my skin will react and go itchy the joys of sensitive skin.

I have always wanted to subscribe to a beauty box but always thought i wouldn't like/use what was in the box as i have sensitive eczema prone skin that tends to freak out if i stray away from my normal skin routine. This month Birchbox's offer was subscribe and get a benefit they're real double the lip which iv wanted to try but didn't want to actually spend the £16.50 if i didn't like it this way i got to sample some other things as well. Turns out i love the lip product and when i finish the little one i will be purchasing the full product (Sorry in advance bank account)
I love the outer box its a air mail box
ModelCo Highlighting Trio (Full Size) RRP £17
Highlighter for me is not something i wear unless I'm going out in the evening so when i saw how much it was to buy it shocked me don't get me wrong the colours are pretty and they blend like a dream i just think for the amount i wear highlight I'm fine with my makeup academy one that is twice the size and a fraction of the price at £3.
Balance Me Instant Lift Primer RRP £22
I love primer as i have combo skin so primer is a life saver to keep my makeup from slipping off my face. I'm always on the hunt for that one primer that i love and would purchase over and over again unfortunately this wasn't the one. I only say that this is the one thing that i have changed in my makeup routine and I'm breaking out so i think its this i could be wrong but for now iv stopped using it.
Marcelle Gentle Makeup Remover RRP £14.50
I have to admit i did have a cheeky look online when they released what could be in your box and i was hoping to get this as iv seen really good reviews on this. As i wear waterproof mascara for aqua zumba my normal eye makeup remover always leaves bits of mascara left over and i look like a panda when i wake up but this takes it off in one smooth move no need for scrubbing which i love as your eye area is very delicate. I shall be purchasing the full size if i can find it as all i can find is the small versions if you know where to buy this from in the UK let me know (:
Orbie Dry Texturizing Spray RRP From £19
I have seen Fleur De Force rave about this in some of her videos and always wanted to try it but didn't want to spend £19+ on something that my hair and scalp might not like as i have a very sensitive scalp and most dry shampoos make my hair itch really badly. I cannot commit on this as i haven't actually used it yet I'm saving it till i go out for either my Mums birthday or my Grandma's. As I'm typing this its just occurred to me it may be a good idea to try this out before then lol i knew there was a reason im blonde lol.
Benefit They're Real! Double The Lip RRP £16.50
This product was the whole reason for ordering the birchbox in the first place as i said at the beginning. I knew the lip product would be good as i love a lot of benefits range but i didn't really think id like it this much as its just a lip product but this makes my lips look amazing i don't weather its because i don't wear lip liner and with this product its a standard but what ever it is i love it.
