I don't usually like the Birchbox drawer boxes but this month's design was too beautiful to refuse. The box was in a stunning white marble with rose gold details.
Plus the colour scheme went perfectly with my little #makeaflatahome feature in my bedroom!
Onto the products...
This month's selectable product was between two eyeshadows. Vanilla Frosting or Fifty Shades. Clearly inspired by the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise.
At first I used this as a full colour eye shadow but it's far too pigmented. However, this is gorgeous as a brow bone highlighter and inner corner. I will be using this all the time as I have almost finished my Naked Pallette one that I use all the time. This is so highly pigmented, I feel like it will last forever. It's shimmey, gorgeous and long lasting.
I've been a big fan of the Spectrum brushes since I was first introduced to them. They are now the only brushes I use on my eyes. They are so pretty, cheap and durable. Simply perfect!
I have terrible acne, especially at the moment while revising and stressing about exams so I was excited when I first saw this. Personally, I didn't see much difference but the product sample size was tiny and only last 3 days which was a big shame.
I don't wear mascara and I have so many samples but I've never found the one. However, when I put this on, my flatmate noticed a massive difference and said it looked really pretty. So it's a thumbs up from me!
Overall, I loved this month's products! They were all selected really well for me. I am defintely going to use them all! Plus, the eyeshadow is so pretty and pigmented. LOVE!

I'm not going to lie, I'm kind of devastated the Fifty Shades trilogy is over. After reading the books, I was so excited I got to relive moments on screen with a stunning cast. Watching Fifty Shades of Grey was eye-opening and having it followed by Fifty Shades Darker was intense. I went to see Fifty Shades Freed on opening night and let's just say I was emotional.

I have to say, I was really impressed with the very beginning few scenes of the film. Despite missing out a few parts from the book, the film quickly starts with the wedding and while short and sweet, it was very beautifully shot. Then the honeymoon sequence blew me away.
Some of my favourite memories of the books come from the moments while Ana and Christian are on their honeymoon. While I am disappointed not to see them all translate to the big screen, I do think that it was a very clever way to get in so many beautiful locations and moments in such a short space …
2017 was a year for me to focus on personal development but 2018 is going to have focus to it. To keep with my annual tradition of writing resolutions, this year I will also be sharing them.
Make new friends: As I start a new course and university plus move to a new city, I really want to try to make good, close friends. It helps s much to have people close to you that you can relate to and I would love to be able to have that relationship.Buy a car: I'm still somewhat in shock that I passed my driving test (have I mentioned that here yet?) so now my next big step is to purchase my first car! I am so excited and I'm currently looking for a Citroen DS3 Sports but I'm in the process of making that decision properly. Attempt being healthier: I think this is almost everyone's go to goal but this year I'm really going to try and make the effort. I want to enjoy life and I am ridiculous unfit at the moment. With Midwifery meaning I'll be up on my feet, running around …
At the end of last year I shared all about Influenster. I absolutely love the company and they basically provide you with complimentary products in exchange for social media promotion and reviews. My last VoxBox was a Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara which I loved but this month I received a couple of Marc Jacobs Matte Highliner Gel Eye Crayon. I received these in 2 colours: Deja Blue and Pink of Me.
Colour life with all the crayons in the box.
Inspired by Marc's boldly bright resort 2017 collection, embracing the freewheeling '80s and MTV kids, this new expression of Highliner delivers high-impact colour for exuberant new eye looks.
Now the intense pigment payoff and amazing glide of original bestselling Highliner comes in a new matte finish. The formula's pure hues are glitter-free, intensified by super-rich pigment. The malleable formula glides on smoothly for precise application, then sets in place for all-day wear.
