February's Birchbox! I did really like this months box I just haven't had time to write due to work. This month I received a Pop beauty eyeshadow trio, Spectrum eyeshadow brush, Wish shave cream, Keeome hydration mask and Beaver daily moisture conditioning spray. The eye shadow trio is quite cute and i was fairly impressed with the pigment of them. The three shades are just the kinda shades I look for to wear everyday so it's definitely something I will use. I was also super excited to receive my Spectrum collections brush! I have wanted to buy one of their sets for a long time but just haven't brought myself to pay it yet, plus they're always selling out 🙈 but you wouldn't be surprised if you've seen them, they're BEAUTIFUL! The brush is so soft and light wait that I'm definitely going to have to buy a set in the near future, because you can never have too many brushes right? The wish shaving cream has been quite nice I just wish the sample was a bit bigger. It has a light fruity smell and leaves your skin feeling nice and soft. One of the reasons this post is so late is because I just haven't had much time to try the Keeome hydration mask but yesterday I finally got the chance and I actually really liked it. The serum used feels really silky so the tissue mask just sits nicely in your face for 25 minutes and then your skin feels amazing. It's designed to combat the 'extra stresses in daily life' which is definitely something I need! I'm always s stressed and my skin does pay for it sometimes so this was a nice way to just relax and make my skin feel great. I would have to say that the Beaver conditioning spray is the product I've used least from this box. After spraying it on my face a few times I saw that Birchbox had posted on Instagram about about how strong it makes your hair! I felt a bit silly🙈 quite often I rush into the box without looking at what the products are properly. I have used it a couple of times on my hair and I do think it's makes my hair feel really nice, however it doesn't help with untangling my hair (not many products do though) and so I won't use it much because I'd just have to use other products as well and I don't want to be overloading my hair. I'm super excited for next months box which comes with the Benefit they're real double lipstick and liner!

Okay... so I have said before that I'm not a big fan of dry shampoo but I've actually started to use it a bit more lately. I wash my hair everyday, sometimes even twice and it's not a good habit to have, I'm stripping my hair of it's natural oils. Out of every brand I've tried Batiste is by far the best dry shampoo and plenty of other people would agree with me! I'm really loving the new rose gold scent, it's described as 'fresh and fruity' but to me it smells kinda sweet and vanilla like. I've found that it's best to let it sit for a good 10 minutes after spraying it on before running it in. I decided to really push the boat out and try their new range of 2 in 1 dry shampoo and conditioner. It's supposed to work like dry shampoo at he roots but also target dry ends. For me it didn't really work, it was not the quick fix I needed to stop my hair looking greasy🙈. I don't see how a product can soak up the grease in your hair and also hydrate the rest of it? However the rest of my hair felt lovely and soft so I would use it again but more to finish off a look like maybe after curling my hair. I would definitely suggest people try it though because everyone has a different hair type and maybe it just didn't work on mine, and it was really nice that it made my hair so soft. I can't quite remember how much they cost and I can't find the prices online! But they were both reasonable and Boots and Superdrug seem to have pretty good offers on Batiste products. Kate xo

Last week I had a makeover at the Benefit counter and afterwards I bought the Brow Zings kit! I tried it for myself this week and I’m in love with it, it’s super easy to use and so impressive😍. It includes a wax, powder, extendable brush and mini tweezers. As far as I’m aware it’s available in 6 shades, the shade I used is number 5. You start by shaping and outlining your brows with the wax and then start to fill them in and then use the powder to set the wax in place. The brush is really good and because it’s thin you can make your brows as think or thick as you want them! I would really recommend this product, it is a bit pricey at £24.50 but with Benefit you know you’re guaranteed quality and it looks like it should last a while with the amount of product you get. So much love for this ❤️.
