Never Ending Summer - Birchbox ft. Millie Mackintosh

To help celebrate the fact that summer has finally made an appearance here in the U.K, Birchbox has teamed up Millie Mackintosh to bring the "Never Ending Summer" box of goodies. Not only is Millie stunning, she is known for being a complete style icon - so I couldn't wait to see what this collaboration would bring.

Contents: 
LOC X Millie Ultra-Gloss Lip Pencil- £9.00 [x]

Caudalie Radiance Serum - £45.00 [x]

John Freida Anti-Frizz Primer - £9.99 [x]

Nails Inc Polish - £15.00 [x]

(all prices for full sized products)

As part of the collaboration with Millie designed her own colour of LOC lip pencil in  Bohemian Rose. This is a gorgeous light pink shade that promises to be both moisturising & long-lasting whilst looking gorgeous on all skin-tones.

The next product to catch my eye was the bright polish from Nails Inc in the shade Neon Pink. Whilst I don't have any plans to jet off on a beach holiday just yet *sobs quietly* I imagine this would be the perfect shade to wear whilst spending a week away in the sun with the girls. 

As part of a special off for July, Birchbox also offered subscribers the choice of  either John Frieda's 7 Day Volume Treatment or the Anti-Frizz Primer. As I tend to find that my hair can become a little frizzy in the summer, I opted for the Anti-Frizz Primer in the hope it would help to ease any of the fluffy-hair-issued that comes with humid weather. 

The final product to be featured in this months box is the Caudalie "Complexion Correcting" Serum. With the promise of promoting even skin tone, fading dark spots & improving complexion it's easy to see why Caudalie is such a well loved brand within the beauty-blogging world. I'm very excited to add this product into my daily-routine & see if I can spot any improvements for myself. 

It's safe to say that I was left feeling very impressed with July's Birchbox & I love the little feminine touches that have come with Millie Mackintosh's collaboration. If you'd like to sign up for monthly Birchbox treats or would like to pick up one or two of the featured products - be sure to check out the Birchbox website for more information.

If so I'd love to know your thoughts

Shine Bright Like A Diamond | Birchbox

One of the highlights of my month has to be the arrival of my Birchbox. February's box - Shine Bright Like a Diamond - focused on positive vibes & self love with a combination of beauty, skin & hair products.

Content:

1. Derm Eyes Make-up Remover Wipes - £9.50 [x]

2. Korres 3 in 1 Cleanser - £15.00 [x]

3. Love Of Colour Shadow Stick in Shade "Champagne Problems" - £8.00 [x]

Although a few of the samples received this month were a little on the small-side, as soon as I spotted Spectrum's Powder Brush I knew no amount of tiny products could ruin February's Birchbox for me. Spectrum is a collection I've had my eye on for a while now, so this an item that I was very excited to receive (if you're interested, click here to read a full review). 

Other products that have caught my eye include the "Super Comb & Protect" Leave in Conditioner (fingers crossed this will help nurse my bleached locks back to health) & LOC Eye-shadow Stick.. which is something that I feel would look stunning for evening looks.
