February Glossy Box!

Hello there my lovelies, long time no speak! With college and glee getting in the way I have had no time to post so this is very very late.

It's just come to the end of February and at the start of February my last Glossy Box arrived! Also my Birch Box but I will post about that one next.

I made a decision to unsubscribe myself to Glossy Box because I have way too much make-up anyway so I was looking more for a box that provided skin care for me, which is the Birch Box which I am currently subscribed to. But I feel like I have made a great mistake because the Glossy Box is so much better! But we will have to see and compare.

So this month is obviously the valentines addition or the "LOVE" addition; this is what I had inside.

The box this month was so adorable! This is what it looked like when I opened it:

The wrapping is as gorgeous as ever.

Now in this box, I was literally excited about every single item! There is not one item in this box that I dislike in anyway whatsoever! Which is why I am still convinced the Glossy Box is better than the Birch Box but we will just have to see won't we.

The first item that grabbed to my attention was this new Schwarzkopf got2b all star 10 in 1 styling treatment. This offers everything under the sun: It offers shine, fullness, strength, thickness, smoothness, suppleness, protection, anti frizz, anti humidity and shade. I can honestly say that it does what it says on the tin! ..Or plastic bottle. Which is the only thing I don't like about it, it feels really cheap. Which it kind of is, it retails for £4.05! 4 stars out of 5 for this product.

The next thing is a marsk mineral eye shadow. I have never owned a mineral eye shadow in my life, or any form of mineral make-up which is why I am so excited for this. It is just a simple grey eye shadow with specks of silver in it! It is exactly what it says and I love it! 4 out of 5 stars for this product.

This next item is one of many things that I have in my make up draw! Lip gloss/tint! This item is adorable! It comes in a little circle bottle pan thing (I'm not very good at describing), it gives a very subtle sheen/color to your lips. I love the packaging the most! 4 out of 5 stars for this because I wish it was a little bit more pigmented.

This next item is a thing that I never even knew existed but I am so glad it does as I absolutely adore it! This is a "So Susan" Rose Quartet lip and cheek cream. The colors are so versatile and different from each other. They are so pigmented which is kind of something that you don't want on your cheeks, but they are easy to blend and are lovely on the lips because it literally does feel like there is NO product on your lips! Its so lightweight! This has got to be my favorite out of this whole box so far. 6 out of 5 stars! Haha!

Next is something that Glossy Box thought would be a little bit cheeky! But nevertheless, I really needed a good razor because I buy really cheapy ones and I always without fail cut legs whenever I shave with crappy razors. Every time. This razor is amazing! I recommend this until I die. 5 out of 5 stars for this beauty.

And last but not least, who can celebrate valentines day without some sweeties?

Thanks for reading this guys! My February Birch Box post will be up in the next hour or so!

Take care of your cats for me

Love Becca

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!

Thank you so much for reading this

Kiss your cats for me
