Birchbox // September 2014




Time for my third Birchbox already! Since I signed up for my first box in July, time seems to have flown by at a ridiculous rate and the cold months are upon us. So what's in store this month?



September's "Happy Days" theme is based around those special moments in life which make you feel ohh soo nostalgic. September's funky boxes can also be used as a photo frame to display some of your fondest memories (I prefer to use my mine to organise my make up drawers though).

This month's box revealed : an Agave Heating Oil Treatment, Benefit It's Potent! Eye Cream, Korres Showergel, ModelCo Lip Lacquer in Viva and a BeautyBlender + cleanser soap. With the Lifestyle section including an Urban Fruit snackbag and the Birchbox Happy Days photo clip.

                      
 
                      
 
 
                       
 

 
 

Thoughts - initially extremely please that I now have a beauty blender! I've been thinking about purchasing the Real Techniques one but I'm glad I didn't as I now have this lovely little pink 'dabber' to play with. On the whole however I was not particularly impressed. I felt like the box was lacking was lacking excitement, as the other products did not particularly catch my eye. I am all for trying new products though so hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised.

What did you think of the September Birchbox?

A Few Bits from Fragrance Direct...

 
Fragrance Direct is an addiction... and I just can't stop giving in ...
 

Once again, battling with a basket full of abut 40 items I had to be realistic and narrow down my choices to what I actually "needed"... or so I tried to tell myself anyway. This little haul consisted of:
 
Korres Silk Milk Conditioner for Chemically Treated Hair
 
Mark Hill Overnight Miracle Repair Treatment
 
 
 
I seem to have developed a desire to purchase a silly amount of nail products which I never get round to use, but here are some more:
 
Essie Grow Richer Nourishing Growth Base Coat
 
Bourjois 10 Day Anti Choc No Chips Nail Polish in 25
 
Orly Nail polish in Seashell (gorgeous colour, review to come soon!)
 
Rochas One Coat Nail Lacquer in Antique Pink 12
 
L'Oreal Colour Riche Nail Polish in 824 (I already have a similar one in 822, but I couldn't resist and hoping this one will be just as gorgeous!)
 
 
 
Followed by a few eye products:
 
Pupa Extrapearl Eyeshadow in shade 12
 
Bourjois Clubbing Liner in Bronze Dance
 
La La Lashes in Diamond
 
 
And a few random bits to finish off:
 
Lee Stafford Fake My Tan in the shade light to medium
 
L'Oreal Colour Riche Lipstick in Pink Fever 285
 
 
 
Have you tried any of these products? Let me know what I've got to look forward to!
