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!

Today, I am sharing a review in partnership with The Marketing Mixtape, who reached out to me, to help me promote one of their artists new songs. "Further On Ahead" is a new song by Three Strands, released on Friday 30th August across the globe. Headed by Sean Cox, the Lancaster Pennsylvania-based singer and songwriter has found growing success since his release party for "Letters To Light" was a sell-out.
Taken from his own website: "after completing a successful kickstarter campaign in April of this year, Sean is currently finishing a Sophmore EP set for release in autumn of 2019. Through honest and simplistic arrangements and strong influences from the American folk revival, as well as, early gospel and blues traditions, Three Strands exists to dredge those deep waters in search for the strands that unite us all."
The latest release "Further On Ahead" is described by Cox, as a song about avoiding the tendency to project one’s lack of self wo…
A shorter vlog this week! I had a day trip to London, visited my sister and explored Cambridge.

I love travelling and road trips but I defintely do not like living out of a suitcase. Regardless, I had a busy few days enjoying the South of England this week.
I spent the first day of my little travelling trip in London. I drove down to near my sister's house and then parked at the train station before heading on the train to London. From there, my first stop was Camden Town. My old home and the place I've been wanting to go for months, ever since Naked Dough opened in the market! Be sure to read my review here to see if the trip was worth it.
I went to meet an old university friend from UCL at my favourite London Italian, Vapiano's. I love how casual the restaurant is and the relaxed nature of the place.
Finally, I headed to the Adelphi Theatre. Here, I watched Waitress the Muscial, again someth…
With new house changes and a fun birthday celebration, the week ended with a trip to Alton Towers.

Despite paying the same amount of rent, the landlord somehow thinks he can still do all the work in the house without compensating us. Of course, we end up with a nicer property but nevertheless, it's a little frustrating. On one day, they ripped up the carpet in the lounge and hallway then put down new laminate. The next they did the kitchen. Then the next week they replaced all the counters in the kitchen and changed the back splash. It looks nice and the floor is now much easier to clean, however we will now have to mop more. In the kitchen, it feels a little smaller because it's much darker but other than that, it's super nice. See the before and afters on the vlog!
With 3 shifts in a row, it's hard to stay on top of social plans, let along food shopping. I literally had hardly any food in for my night shifts so I ended up having …
