June Birchbox

For June, Birchbox teamed up with French sole, a shoe designer. The Idea of this box to step outside in time for the our fabulous British summer... weather dependant. This month you got to choose which box pattern you would like, I didn't get my first choice of design which was the Floral daze, but I did get the Pick 'n' Mix which has grown on me. Within the box you get a matching shoe bag to the box design. The shoe bag will be handy for if I ever travel. But if I'm honest I doubt I'll remember that I own a shoe bag and my shoes will probably get chucked in an Asda bag. Perhaps I can use it to stash my makeup in.


June Birchbox; Iris Prima, Cowshed, Pixi, Ren, Stylondon, Beauty Protector

But enough of what I will do with my shoe bag, on to the products. So far I am loving the majority of the contents of this month Birchbox. My favourite product has to be the Temporary Tattoos from Styl London (RRP£7.99). My Birchbox turned up the day before I went to a music festival so these were the perfect accessory to accompany to the festival. The  tattoos last surprising well, the one on my leg has been on for a week and is still going strong. I also applied one on my wrist which didn't last as well but did look hell'a cute.

Cow Shed Relaxing Body Lotion 100ml (RRP £18 full size) , I love this body lotion, it's so light and sinks into the skin like a  dream! The eucalyptus helps to uplift my senses, while the cocoa butter helps to moisturise. I would definitely consider buying the full size product of this.

Ren Keep Young and Beautiful Instant Firming Beauty Shot. (RRP £36 full size) the sample size of this is 10ml, I think I will fall for this product as it does seem to firm my skin. My skin just looks and feels different, in a good way. I don't use daily, only if I'm doing fancier makeup.

Pixi by Petra Shea Butter Lip Balm (honey nectar) this is a full size sample, (RRP £8) this balm is extremely moisturising for the lips, personally I'm not sure about the colour, however because it is only a tint it is only subtle, so not the end of the world. 

The two products I'm not a massive fan of is the Beauty Protector Protect and Detangle (RRP £14 full size). I just feel like it doesn't really do much apart from smell nice. The perfume, Penhaligon's Iris Prima Eau de Parfum (RRP £85 full size) for me just isn't to my taste, however it lasts well but as I said not to my taste.

Im excited for next months birch box, I have only had two boxes from birch box but I have been presently surprised by the contents of each box!

Have you received your birch box this month what did you think of the contents of your box? Feel free to leave a comment below or tweet me @ohhsorosie or follow me on Instagram, @ohhsorosie to see what I get up to on a daily basis!

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away Concealer Review

Image
Charlotte Tilbury is a brand that I absolutely love. However not being near to a store can sometimes make me a little hesitant to purchase online. The products I have managed to pick up in store are 100% keepers in the makeup bag. Both the Magic Foundation and the Light Wonder Foundations are products that I think are fantastic - ended up with shade 3 for both foundations. Although my magic foundation is pretty much empty now.  However you’re all here to read a review on the New Magic Away Concealer*. Concealers are products I just forget to invest in. I am literally that girl that rushes into boots a week before payday to pick up something ‘that’ll do’. So it is definitely nice to try something that hasn't been picked up in my lunch break.  First off the packaging – all packaging from CT if fabulous, it definitely gives off 1920s vibes. There is a window to view how much of the product is left – a handy feature if you don’t mind me saying. I also love the little

I was literally half way through doing my 'What I got for Christmas' when my best nine for Instagram was ready, once uploaded I was like ah isn't that nice my top liked pictures of 2015. Then I thought, I'm guna talk you through these pictures, cuz why the hell not?! 2015 bestnine  Top Left: These sandals I bought in an attempt to cheer myself up after a bit of an argument with my boyfriend, they were in the sale which made me happy. This also marks my blog starting to include more fashion posts.  Top Middle: This picture was from a monthly favourites review (I believe it was March favorites), I had just received my Zoeva brushes for my birthday which I still absolutely love! And finally got my hands on velvet teddy. Top Right: Who'd have thought that my boyfriend would have such good baking skills that  his cake got in to my top nine?! Every year we try and make the biggest and best birthday cake we possibly can! It tasted lush and was mana

Holiday Outfits Part 1

Image
Holiday look books. Do people even like these? For those of you who dont know I took a late holiday to Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt to catch some rays! I wouldn't say this was a complete look book because I didn't document every single item of clothing I wore. But I do have a handful of outfits which I loved wearing and putting together. This will probably feature over 2 or 3 posts just so it isn't a heavy read!  First Up ....Swimwear!! The bikini. Yes it's similar to the Triangl bikinis which rocked my Instagram newsfeed for the majority of last summer, I think the colour and style is fun and laid back. This bikini came from Missguided and in terms of fit I was really surprised. Normally I struggle with sizing and I very apprehensively bought a size 10, normally the top part is far to small for me. But a massive thumbs up to Missguided and myself for fitting into the bikini top perfectly! There was also a gorgeous baby blue and peach bikini identical to this which I
