Birchbox August 2017

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.

Hello June

I feel like everyone is saying this but i cannot believe that we are halfway through the year already. But on the plus side that means in 3 months Christmas stuff will be rolling out in stores and online (:

I say this every month (i normally put a hello month on instagram) but i really hope that June is kind to me i have 5 good things going on this month which I'm looking forward to (: 

- My brothers birthday as a family we go out for pizza at pizza hut chesseless for me (: 

- The besties birthday although i wont be celebrating the day with her like normal i will be seeing her that night for aqua zumba (: 

-Meadowhall trip with my mum followed by a Costa catch up with her (:

-Orange is the new black is back this month (: 

-Chicago Fire finally has a air date of 4th July (:

Goals for this month

-Stop snacking at night I'm terrible for it i work out twice a week and undo all that with all the snacks i eat at night. I don't think i could stop having a snack at night so i think I'm going to swap my unhealthy snacks out for healthy and semi healthy snacks (:

- Not to be upset that aqua zumba is ending but be happy that its changing in to something called aqua fusion (: (side note if your in the Sheffield area and would like to come to aqua fusion it will start in July and be on a Tuesday at Ponds Forge at 7:20pm (: )

-Find Milo a friend either a kitten or a hamster iv noticed over the past couple of months shes becoming lonely she will just stare at walls and mew constantly and her favorite new thing to do is pee on my bed !! 

- Find a new job i need more hours i don't want to be working full time i don't think my anxiety could handle that just a nice little part time job which is more then 8 hours which I'm doing now

- Post on my blog at least once a week iv been so bad at posting and i have no one to blame but myself

Let me know what your goals are for this month (:

Feeling Lost ....

This isn't going to be a upbeat post like normal and if you dont want to read this post then i totally understand.

Iv had this post in my drafts for a while and i keep adding things to it and never posting it until now.

As of late i feel lost and excluded from the YouTube world. 

My views are going down the only video that gets really good views is my primark hauls which i love but my bank doesn't.

Not only that the only friends i had within the YouTube community have now stopped making YouTube videos i feel like i dont fit in to any communities on YouTube and im all on my own. I see everyone making friends from YouTube and it sucks that im not apart of that.

Its the same with the blogging community i feel so lost im in a couple of whatsapp blog groups and i just feel that my responses get lost in the sea of people. The same with the blogging chats on twitter i feel my replies get dismissed. Everyone has there own friendship groups and even when i get let in i feel like im imposing and i eventually just fade out of the friendship (that maybe my anxiety)

Even with my closest friends i feel left out because i dont drink and all my other friends they've stopped inviting me out unless its to birthdays and even then i think its grudgingly as they know id be hurt if i wasn't invited and they've stopped inviting me on days out and i only get to see my best friend when we go to aqua zumba on a Tuesday. 

I know im lucky to have close friends and i shouldn't be for one of a better word bitching about how i only see my best friend once a week as i know some people dont have anyone.

I know all this is very minimal with everything else thats going on in the world i know that. I just think over time my anxiety has made me feel very lost with everything not just blogging YouTube and friends.

Sorry for the ramble post normal posts will be resumed next time (:

TV Faves - April

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

I felt like switching it up this month as iv been watching more TV then i have listening to music i know shock horror lol.

Im also sorry about the lack of posts i have a blog post coming up explaining why so look out for that.


13 Reasons Why


Image taken from Google

i feel like im the last person to start this and im just about to start Clays tape so please dont spoil it for me im also staggering the episodes as iv been told by many people that the last two are really bad. Im loving the show so far. I got in to trouble on Instagram for saying i l was loving the show so il clear it up here when i say i love the show i meant i love the message its sending out not that i love that someone killed themselves i mean who would love it. Sorry for the ramble i know i didn't have to justify myself but i got a lot of hate for that post that i just deleted it so im clearing the air now. Also Clay is quite good looking am i right lol (:

Casualty


Image taken from google

Iv been watching casualty for many years and sometimes i can take it or leave it with the story-lines but this seasons has been one of the best in my opinion. I loved that Josh came back for Charlies stag. As im writing this i haven't watched the newest episode yet as i record them and watch them on a Sunday. So keep this a Spoiler free zone for the people that have not had a chance to watch it yet and me as this post will probably go up before i have a chance to watch it.

Chicago Med


Image taken from google

If you follow me on Twitter then you know im a huge fan of Chicago Fire but not Chicago PD i just couldn't get in to that one so i didn't have high hopes for Chicago Med but wound up loving it and i love that in some episodes i can have my Chicago Fire fix while the uk are still waiting a air date for season 5 !!


NCIS


Image taken from google 

Im a big fan of Ncis when Dinozzo left at the end of Season 13 i didn't think that the new season would be any good but im loving it all the same (: and dont even miss Dinozzo which i thought i would.

Bull

Image taken from google 

I think why i dont miss Micheal in Ncis anymore is because i watch bull and hes kind off like his Ncis character in bull but a lot more serious and the show is actually really good but i find you have to have your full attention on the show otherwise you get confused about whats really happening or maybe thats just me lol. 

I know iv already said it at the start of the post but i am sorry that this post is almost the same as my last one and i apologize. Normal posts will resume next post (:

Music Faves - March

Its that time of the month again (no not that one lol) its music faves time again slightly late this month as iv just been overwhelmed with everything in my life so i took a step away from my blog and YouTube but I'm back now (: (not sure weather that's a good thing or not lol) but without further ado lets get in to the music (:







































All Time Low always picks me up when I'm stressed or worried or in a bad mood so there has been a lot off All Time Low listening this month this one more then others as i love the song and it just puts me in a good mood (:







































Carrying on with the ATL theme they released a new song this month and i love it (: its been on repeat none stop i cannot wait for the album to come out.

 out off all Loveable Rouges these two by far are my fave and they preformed them both when i saw them on tour which was amazing (: although i don't listen to them much anymore when they came on shuffle the other day they automatically put a smile on my face and i ended up listening to the whole album while drifting off to sleep.

Sometime last year i found Mallory Knox (i know so late) and i cannot get enough of them i love most of there songs (if you say you like all of a band/artist songs then i think your lying) and again as with Loveable Rouges i don't listen to them that often and this came on shuffle and it reminded me of how i used to listen to these none stop.


I'm loving doing these posts and i hope you are too I'm finding songs that i had forgotten about. Please let me know any song or band you think i should listen to and you never know they may have a place in my April music faves (:

Birchbox March 2017

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.

If you want to order the march box or just have a look on the website then click HERE

I have uploaded the birchbox video as well and if you want to view that then click  HERE
Hope you enjoyed the blogpost

Music Faves - February

Id like to start a new series on my blog. Music is a big part of my life and it seems silly not to feature it on my blog.

This will be a monthly post as a round up of all the music i have loved over the month whether its new releases old releases or just music iv not stopped listening to (:


Chained to the rhythm - Katy Perry

This is a fairly new song and its fast becoming one of my favorites i find myself listening to it on repeat on spotify daily.

Dirty Laundry - All time low

Now i wasn't a big fan off this when i first heard it as it didn't seem like all time low (before you all shout at me All time low is one of my fave bands) it just sounded like Alex Gaskarth had gone solo but the more i listened to it the more i found myself humming it or singing the chorus and now i love it and cant wait to see them preform it live (:


























Back around - Olly Murs

As im writing this its only 12 days till i see him live (: (10th march @ sheffield arena) if your going come say hey if you see me (: . Iv been listening to the 24 hrs album again so i know them in case he does ones hes not released yet and im not stood there going whats this one and iv fallen back in love with this song and the one below (:

Years and years - Olly Murs

The next two surprised me aswell you know when spotify think its being helpful and will suggest tracks for you to listen most of the time i skip them as they are never what i want to listen to but when these two came up it automatically brought me back to a simpler time when gameboys were a thing and this game came out and i loved it and the soundtrack (: 

So good and so what - Bratz 

They are just really good feel good songs go and listen to them and youll see what i mean (:

Million Reasons - Lady Gaga 

I have no idea why i love this song so much as im currently single af lol but i love the words and its become one of my most played songs 

These are my music faves for February. Any of my music faves that you like. Let me know in the comments below (:
