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!

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 …
Whilst in Bath, my mum and I headed into Apricot. She bought some pieces and I fell in love with a few pieces. Here's my favourite pieces!
I loved this red tie jump suit and thought the slightly different colour really stood out.
Next up was this super comfy patterned dress. I thought it would be perfect for holidays, to shove on in the hot weather!
This isn't usually the type of outfit I would go through but I think it's slightly more sleek and mature and perfect for a more formal summer day. The capped sleeves are really flattering and the navy blue is defintely slimming. Click here to see it.
Finally, by far my favourite! This gorgeous navy tie jumpsuit. I'm in love! Flowy, comfy and freeing.
As you read this, I am currently in Croatia, enjoying my holiday of 2019 with two of my girls, Sam and Vicki. Actually, it's Sam's birthday so I'm sure we will be celebrating tonight. If you want to wish her a happy birthday, either leave a comment below or go ahead and saying happy birthday on her public Instagram over on @samantha_janey.
I thought I'd share some of the things I want to do in my time in Croatia and some of the things you guys have recommended. Of course, I'm only here for a week so I probably won't get around to them all but here's the things I would like to do if possible!
