January Birch Box!

Wow these blog posts are coming in fast from me aren't they?

But never the less, here's my next one.

January Birch box!

Now recently I subscribed to Glossy Box and I got the January addition, but then I saw my friend raving about the Birch Box so I had to unsubscribe and jump right over to Birch Box! And gosh I am so happy with my decision.

If you have no idea what a Birch Box or a Glossy Box is.. it's a monthly beauty subscription box. Every month you pay £12 for a beauty/skincare box and you get up to 5/6 small sampled sized items. The items can all add up to (on average) £107! (That's only if you get the full sized items, obviously!)

When you first get the box it comes in this ugly packaging just to make sure that no harm comes to it whilst it gets delivered. But once you tear that packaging off, you uncover a pretty box! 

This months box, Birch Box teamed up with Women's Health. Which means some healthy stuff inside!

When you first open it you come across some leaflets. A piece of paper with what you have in your box, and how much it is for the full size! Also this month there is a "Hit Refresh" booklet, and in that booklet there is 12 challenges in there for you to do. 

The items in the box come in a little pull up bag, perfect for a make-up bag!

First thing that caught my eye was this pilates band, Birch Boxes own brand! I'm not too sure where you put this on your body.. or what it even does.. But it's PINK! And it is worth £7.99

Next is an activbod shower concentrate. It is a intense shower gel with refreshing sea minerals, green tea mingle with soothing almond oil. Great for after a run because the green tea inside of it will give your body a new fresh feeling. You just go in the shower, rub this all over your body and then wash it off! Simple and effective. A full size of this is only £5.

Ah, a REN product! This is a very very small product. I put the product up to my screen to see the difference in size of the picture compared to the product and it fits like a puzzle piece. It is very tiny. This is a Radiance renewal mask and it comes in at £30! So even though there is only enough product in my tube for two uses it should be good for that price. It has a really strong smell of sugary peaches and it has a gel like consistency! I am very excited to use this product!

Next is something I didn't quite expect to be in my box, but nevertheless it looks great. It is a small 1g bag of green tea leaves! You only get one sachet to use so you won't see any results, but if you suffer from bad bloating this will do the trick! This prices up to be £24.99

This product smells like something I can't quite put my finger on.. sort of like men's LYNX deodorant! This is also a shower gel but targeted towards post shave! It treats ingrown hairs, razor bumps, razor burn and redness. I suffer from most of the above so I am so excited to see how this works out! This is £11 for the full product.

Next is the best product in the bag.. A Stila lip glaze! Oh gosh, I love getting high end make-up. The colour is absolutely stunning, it's a muted floral pink with shimmer floating through it. It's not as pink as it is showing to be on the picture. It's very subtle and just gorgeous. Definitely using this when I go out tonight. For the full product, £15. Worth every pound.

Last product is the Beauty Protector Protect and De-tangle! It smells like fruit and sea salt, which is gorgeous. This bottle claims to be heat resistant, de-tangle your hair, lock in your colour, condition it, UV protect, smooths your hair, adds shine not greasyness and seels the cuticle. What an interesting list! This for the full size is £14. I shouldn't judge on how much it is but normally something for that money will only do half the job. But I haven't tested it out yet so I know nothing!

Graze Box!

Hello there lovely people of BlogSpot!

Today I received a package in the mail, well, cardboard box. And  it looked a little bit like this:

My graze box! Yay! I've been looking forward to my graze box for a little while now. Don't get me wrong I've brought loads of these and they are my favorite things.

They are such a good way of eating different things that you normally wouldn't eat or buy!

Now if anyone hasn't heard of a graze box then this post is going to explain that for you; A graze box is a healthy snacking box. It has a variation of yummy foods, tailored to what you like. On their website you can go through all of their punnets and choose which one you love, which one you hate. I love how the graze box is made and not going to lie when you open the box it smells.. exactly like new books.

This is what it looks like when you open the lid.

And this is what it looks like when your cat tries to itch his whiskers with a graze box.

So when you open the lid and take all the packaging off, you get about 3 to 4 booklets or pieces of paper.

One is a booklet, just telling you the general stuff about graze. The next is a piece of paper with four codes for people to get free graze boxes and on that paper it tells you what is inside your box, the last one/two are normally voucher codes.

Let's get onto the food inside!

First inside is the British peppered pork jerky with an apple and pear chutney on the side. This punnet has only 73 calories and is perfect for a little snack, it's also a source of protein. Personally I am not too sure on beef jerky, just because of the fact its the skin of a pig. I have no idea why it freaks me out but I can tell you the taste is somewhat bearable, I am eating it as I write this, well.. chewing it! So 3.5 stars out of 5 for this one.

Next is a beauty. The cocoa and vanilla protein flapjack. This little thing rakes in at 7.8 grams of protein and 249 calories. I think this would be a really really good breakfast idea, just because of the protein. This is the best thing out of the whole box. 4.8 stars out of 5!

Sorry for the quality on this one! But the third thing in my box was olive and rosemary bruschetta! It looks so amazing doesn't it? Almost as good as my absolute favorite graze box punnet, which is cheddar gorge. The most interesting bit in this punnet to me is the tomato baguette. It just looks so nice! And at only 112 calories it would be a perfect addition to lunch time. 4.0 out of 5 only because I hate cashews!

Last but not least. I'm not too sure about this punnet. It is the caramel and peanut track and field. I'm only not too sure about this punnet because, as I said above, I really don't like cashews/peanuts, and raisins. This punnet is 210 calories, also a great side for lunch or just a snack! This gets 2.0 stars out of 5!

Thank you allllllllllllllllllllll, so much for reading this!

If anyone would like a free graze voucher code for your first box, fifth and tenth box free. Enter this: F6H2G6MKB

Peace out, take care of your cats for me.

First Post: My Wish List

Hey there my beauties! 

Now, first things first. I've tried to start my blog for so many times now. I've had two, my first one was on here; Blogger. My second one is on Tumblr. Neither of them have worked out, but I'm back again to try and find my way in the blogging world and actually learn how to use this website.. Wish me luck!

As my first post, as you can probably tell from the title, I'm going to be doing a wishlist. I'm going to be going to London soon - Which I am SO excited for! - and of course I will have to spend, spend, spend (who wouldn't) and I wanted to share with you all what I really want to buy!

So without further ado, here is what I would like to buy:

Imagine yourself in a sea of eye shadow. Heaven isn't it? That's what it feels like when you even just take one look at the naked 3 palette by Urban Decay. I've always wanted one of these palettes, but, never had any money. I've brought various dupes of it, just like the new Revolution range of eye shadow palettes (what are amazing!). This has been so raved about that I just need it.

The next thing, which is also Urban Decay. Is the thing that my make-up is crying out for. Is the all nighter setting spray. My make-up never stays on, even with powder. So hopefully this will kick itself back into position.

Next, the very well known. Very well loved. American Apparel tennis skirt. It's about £45 a pop, but gosh I love it! You can probably get dupes of it on amazon, but there's nothing better than the real thing (insert heart eyes here)

This next thing makes me drool! It's a Kylie Jenner classic. The m.a.c lipstick in shade Velvet Teddy. Anyone that adores Kylie Jenner knows about this lipstick shade. I have only owned two m.a.c products in my whole life so I don't know what to expect from this product, only good I hope since I don't suit lipstick at all.

Carrying on with the m.a.c theme, I've always wanted to try some sort of blotting powder since I have fairly oily skin. Especially in the mornings. Then I found out that m.a.c did a blotting powder and I was completely sold!

And last but not least, Converse. At a rather pricey £50 that is. It seems the only taste I have is expensive. But to be fair, I've never owned a branded shoe. Not even 1. I just wanna be a cool kid, okay! (Total jokes, I'll never be cool even if I turned into a penguin)

Thank ya'll so much for reading this, take care of your cats for me

Love to you all
