MAYBELLINE IT LOOKS/// RED SIREN

I'm writing this post about an amazing kit that I picked up from Superdrug. This kit includes some of Maybelline's best products and retails at £30! It is an absolute bargain for the amount of product that it includes. The RRP of the items must in total be well over £50 at least. They do several different kits but I decided to choose the 'Red Siren' kit as it had the contour kit and the Nudes eyeshadow palette that I've been wanting for a while. 















The kit included the Nudes eyeshadow palette, the Lash Sensational- which is by the way amazing! The matte lipstick in shade 'Divine Wine', the master precise eye liner and eyebrow pencil and finally the Master Sculpt contour kit. This is such good value for money and I would 100% recommend! You can find the kits HERE! Feel free to leave any comments.

FEBRUARY BIRCHBOX 2016

I had a 50% code for Birchbox due to being a student from UniDays so decided to re-subscribe to Birchbox for the month as their February box looked fab! If you don't know what Birchbox is, it is a monthly beauty subscription box where you receive 5/6 samples/full size products. It's a fun way to discover new products without paying the full price, try before you buy! This was the box this month and what was inside.









Inside my box I received a full size Spectrum Tapered Finishing brush, the Doux Me Comforting Scrub Mask, the Loc Shadow Stick in I think shade champagne, Number 4 Lumiere d'Hiver Super Comb Prep & Protect and the Cochine body lotion. I loved all of these products and thought that they were superb! I particularly love the Spectrum brush and will definitely be investing in the others that are available. The scrub mask lived up to its name and was definitely comforting and I've been wearing the bobble ever since I opened the box!

I would definitely reccommend signing up to Birchbox, and you can sign up at www.birchbox.co.uk, and if you're a member of UniDays you can get 50% of your first box!

New Favourite Brand Alert

I was lucky enough to be sent some PR samples from Seventeen last week, and felt the need to rave about these to all of you lovely lot! I was kindly sent the Long Lash mascara, Let's Face It palette and the Easy on the Eye palette.












The packaging of the products is beautiful, I love collecting the boxes of products as I am a self confessed hoarder! This is not helping my addiction Seventeen. The quality of the products surpasses the packaging however.

Seventeen Long Lash: I really loved using this mascara and would definitely re-purchase! It has a thing brush which means it is really easy to get to each individual lash and it doesn't clump which is always a bonus!

Seventeen Let's Face It: This is described as the 'complexion perfection selection' and I 100% agree. It features a pink and yellow toned concealer, but also a setting powder and a rosy pink blush. The concealers are great for colour correction, and I'm loving the rosy pink blush. It is perfect for the paler skinned peoples of the world.



And finally my favourite of the products, the Easy on the Eye palette: I love this palette! It features 8 matte, shimmer and pearl powders, 3 metallic creams and even an eye primer. The shadows are super pigmented and it has become my go to palette for a lovely pink rose gold eye look. It even comes with a how to guide for smoky eye and to top it all of a voucher for £2 of the Seventeen super lash mascara.






All of these products can be found on the Boots website or if you click their names I have linked you directly to the specific product! Have you tried Seventeen products? Feel free to leave any comments below.

COCO WHITES

Coco Whites


Earlier this month in December I visited the Clothes Show Live which took place in Birmingham at the NEC, {find out more info about this HERE! if you wish} and purchased a box of Coco Whites at the reduced price of £15, I believe they are normally around £20, so I saved around £5 plus postage which was a bonus! I was very excited to try the product as it has been sponsored by many celebrities especially on Instagram and I was curious as to what was so special about these little white sachets!

If you're unsure as to what Coco Whites is, it is basically a refined version of the ancient tradition of oil pulling. The little sachets are full of coconut oil which has been flavoured to make the process more bearable. 

I bought the minty fresh flavour and the box looks like this:





In the box you get 14 sachets as the course is supposed to take 14 days, the sachets look like this:







On the first use I was amazed at the results, see below before and after one use!

Excuse my teeth!

REVIEW: The actual process isn't very nice at all, the coconut oil can be solid and is a very strange texture until it melts in your mouth. The process is also very boring so I would suggest browsing the internet or stalking someone on Facebook whilst your swirl for 10-15 minutes! I was very impressed with the results at first however these results soon ended, and I didn't seen much change after this. The only benefit that was a result of the process was it made me more aware about my teeth and they felt amazingly clean after the oil pulling! I wouldn't recommend this product as I don't personally think it is worth the money HOWEVER if you wish to buy the website can be found HERE!  and I have a voucher code for 20% of which is CSL20. Thanks for reading and feel free to leave any comments!
