This month i've been enjoying quite a few newer products, as i'd packed all the ones I wasn't using so I was able to rekindle my love for any products i'd owned for a while, anyway onto the products in question.

First up is the Be a Bombshell Onyx Eyeliner, which I received in this months GlossyBox (post here). I'd used a few different felt tip eyeliner previous to this one but more recently i'd been sticking to my liquid eyeliner as I found this was a lot more pigmented and lasted better throughout the day, but i've been loving this felt tip eyeliner so much this month that it's replaced my love for my liquid eyeliner. Next up is another product from a recent GlossyBox, the Oceane Femme Makeup Remover Pen. Now I didn't think this was going to perform all that well, but i've been so surprised by this product. It works so well to fix any little slip ups, especially with my liquid eyeliner.. love this! 

Another product i've been loving and my skin has been loving is the Origins GinZing™ Moisturiser. As I mentioned in my recent Origins Haul (post here), i'd been wanting this for ages and i'm so glad I finally have this. It's been working wonders on my skin this past week or so, I can see myself repurchasing this over and over. Next up is another skincare product i've been loving and that is the L'oreal Micellar Solution (review here). I've ditched the makeup wipes and this has been my go to makeup remover recently, it works so well to fight through my stubborn eye makeup.. but i'm literally going through this so quickly, good job it's cheap! 

Last but not least is the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum (review here). This has been my go to foundation since i'm not fake tanning at the moment and I really like how it smooths out my skin tone and gives me a radiant glow, but I do have to be careful as this can make my skin look a little oily.

What products have you been loving this month? Also do you guys like the layout of these photos, on the white surface.. or would you prefer the floral background? Please let me know, as I don't know if I like it or not.

Birchbox (formerly known as Joliebox) has pretty much the same concept as most beauty boxes out there, a beauty box containing 4-5 beauty/lifestyle samples a month somewhat tailored to you, but each beauty box brand is different in terms of performance, brands, design etc. Anyway, onto the products I received in my box this month.

The first product is this Reverence de Bastien Nail Polish, in this lovely baby pink shade. I actually don't own a shade like this one and I can see myself wearing this when I want a minimal nude shade to my nails. Next up is the Molten Brown Ylang-Ylang Body Lotion, which smells quite nice. I'm not one to usually use a body lotion, but with the colder months on their way I can see this could come in handy and I love Molten Brown it adds a nice feel of luxury whenever I use one of their products. The next product is a ModelCo Party Proof Lipstick in the shade 'Kitty' from their Naturals Trio. This shade is the perfect shade for me as it will add a nice wash of colour that isn't too bold and can be worn for subtle day look. I really like the sound of this formula as it's said to be hydrating whilst also being semi matte.. interesting.

This next product is probably the most exciting product in the box and yes i'm talking about the Bioderma Sensibio H20, which i've been dying to try and now I can finally give this whirl without breaking the bank. I'll be reporting back on this very soon! The last product is from a brand i've never heard, but I smelt this as soon as opened this months box. The product in question is the Aromatherapy Associates Revive Body Gel, which is said to give you a burst of energy and to make you feel more awake. I'm interested to see how this works as I find showers make me more sleepier in the morning. I also received a yummy white chocolate bar, which I happily devoured when I opened the box (hence why it's not photographed!).

All in all i'm so impressed with my first Birchbox, these products are nothing like ones I already own nor ones i've received in any previous beauty boxes and I can't wait to see what's in next months box!

Are you subscribed to Birchbox?

P.S: Thank you for all the well wishes with moving house, it all went pretty well and luckily i'm able to pick up some wifi so posts shouldn't be to lacking this week.

The first product is my Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish, which couldn't of come at a worser time as I can't order a new one because of moving house and my skin is already crying out for this, for sure repurchasing when i'm in the new house! Next up are two products from Aussie, the Miracle Moist Shampoo and the 3-Minute Miracle Conditioner, both of these products are ones I constantly repurchase as they work so well and they are so affordable.. you guys know I love these products, they're so good for my dry/damaged hair. This next product I think was in my last empties, the Imperial Leather Body Creme is a product I always repurchase, I just love the creamy formula and it smells amazing! 

I've finally used up my Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub (again), I was trying not to use this so quickly as my love for this is becoming quite pricey but this one has lasted me pretty well, my addiction to the scent is slightly worrying but we all know i'll always rave about this product. Next is the Elemis Skin Glow Exfoliating Face Wash, which was a sample in a GlossyBox ages ago and I really wanted to try this as i've heard some great things but unfortunately this broke me out sooo bad.. I haven't actually finished this but I just can't use it, so it's getting chucked. Last but not least is probably the most expensive foundation i've ever owned, the Clarins Ever Matte Foundation. I had a few samples of this and loved what it did for my skin so I took the plunge about a year and half ago (I know thats a long time to have a foundation) and i've finally used it up. I'm in two minds to repurchase, as I feel what I look for in a foundation has changed since purchasing but I still really like this as it balances out my skin tone and tones down the oily look that I get throughout the day.

Over the next week or so updates will be slow as I have no internet until Wednesday and I have no posts preplanned as i've packed up everything so please be patient :)

Have you tried out any of these products?

With the whole moving house thing, i've literally packed up everything apart from about 10% of my wardrobe and a few hair/beauty essentials. Now me being me, I completely forgot to photograph before packing so at the moment i'm a little stumped on what to do, but I did notice that I haven't reviewed a few products in my makeup stash so I thought i'd review one of those products today.

The product in question is the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation, a gel based foundation made with a vitamin rich fruit therapy formula containing litchi, goji berries and pomegranate designed to reduce signs of fatigue and to rev up the skins radiance for 16 hours.

I purchased this foundation during the summer, but as I had been fake tanning during the summer months I wasn't really using this product all that much as it was too light whilst I had a tan. Having said that, i've been using this on and off for about a month now and this has been a kind of love and hate product for me. I mainly use this when I want a lighter coverage that looks really natural as I find this is perfect, whilst it also covers up any blemishes and it also makes my skin tone look a lot more even. As this foundation is all about revving up your skins radiance, that it definitely does but I have noticed the radiant glow it gives also makes my skin look and feel very oily, which isn't so nice.. but I have found a quick touch up with a powder easily sorts this out, although it is kind of a pain as I haven't really experienced this with any other foundation. 

All in all, I do think this is a great foundation especially if your skin is looking very dull but I would not recommend this for people with oily skin as it just makes your oilyness look even worse.

Have you tried this foundation?
