September Birchbox Products Review ♥

Hello there lovelies! Its that time of month again where i express my thoughts on this wonderful beauty box that is Birchbox! 

This month's theme is Happy Days, which is to celebrate all our wonderful memories helping us subscribers sit back, relax and reminisce those wonderful happy memories what ever they may be. 

A memory i hold very dear in my heart was standing on Oxford Street in London last year. All the Christmas lights got turned on it was so magical and the happiness i felt at that moment was truly amazing. I had that fluttery butterfly feeling in my stomach like a small child gets on Christmas Eve. It was breath taking and surely something i'll never forget.

I also love to think back to and flick through the pictures from my first year at university, trips away and family events from through out the years. It's so crazy to see how much everyone has changed and where we all in life now. But i'm grateful for all the memories as they've shaped me into the person i am today! 
Anyway lets get into the products!

I feel i need to start this month's review with my first dislike i have ever receive in a Birchbox. The Beauty Blender is highly praised and rated high in the beauty community. Yes its okay for blending your foundation or concealer and creates quite a nice natural dewy complexion, although i feel i can achieve this look just as well with my Real Techniques Stippling brush.

The thing that has made me rate this low is due to only getting to use it a couple of times before finding a few small black dots scattered around the sponge when i went to use it again. 
I instantly went to Google to see if anyone else had experienced these mysterious black spots. All the post i could find told me it was mold! Which shocked me as i had washed and dried the Beauty Blender like your suppose too and i left it on my dressing table to air out. I research how i could perhaps free it of the mold although all answers came back to its not possible, a last i'll have to throw it away!

If any of you have experience this Beauty Blender mishap please let me know. I'm not too upset due to not actually buying it for the extortionate price of £26.00, but it is slightly annoying i only got a couple of uses out of it!

Yaay another Benefit product and an eye cream too! I can't get enough of trying eye creams due to having eye bags from hell most days, so i was excited to try this out. 

It is a light green creamy substance that feels very refreshing when applied. I've been using it in my night time routine and I've seen a nice difference to my morning eyes, they're less puffy on my top lids and some darkness is reduced although i continue to fight the darkness!

Arrrr what a nice simple body moisturizer, as they should be with so many beneficial ingredients. My skin felt so soft after applying a thin layer of this, especially my legs. I've been told they feel as soft as a babies bum, which is a great complement! 

I enjoy the smell as it reminds me of men's aftershave with a citrusy hint which i find quite refreshing and comforting. If only the sample was a little bigger as I've pretty much used the whole bottle from a couple of full body coverings, i may be purchasing more...

I enjoy hair oils as they tend to calm my lion like locks down and add that much needed shine. I really love this Agave Healing Oil as only a 5p size amount warmed in the palm of my hands is enough to create a nourished shine and also holds down any flyaways!

The Mexican blue agave is known as the main source of tequila which is amazing that it can be used to lift our hair as well as our souls! It is also wonderful that it can be used as a body oil too, although i don't think this tiny sample could stretch that far.

My favourite is to be saved till last of course! The MODELCO Powerlash Black Mascara is A-mazing! A couple of coats is enough to create thick long fake looking lashes that truely stand out!

 Its not like a lot of mascaras where you have to use them a couple of times for the consistency to build up to its full potential. From the moment i unscrewed the top it worked like a dream! I'd love to repurchase this beautiful mascara, although the £24.00 price tag puts me off just a little! I may just save up them wonderful Birchbox points and treat myself as this is definitely the best I've EVER used.

This month's life style extras include a cute little Happy Days photo clip which adds a lovely bit of cuteness to my shelf next to my nail polishes and also a snack pack of the Urban Fruit Smashing Strawberry bits. I didn't really enjoy the Urban Fruit i have to say, the dried strawberry pieces are far too sweet for my liking and the wrinkly texture really didn't do much for me!

I hope you enjoyed this months post, apologies for rambling on about the Beauty Blender! Tell me in the comment one of your fondest memories? I'd love to hear!

Thanks for reading, have yourself a lovely day!
