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've finally got around to using some of my Christmas presents and first up to be reviewed is this Baby Foot foot peel.
In all honesty, I didn't hold high expectations for this product when I opened it up on Christmas Day but my mum said she paid £20+ for it and it had amazing reviews from the beauticians so I thought of course, I would at least give it a try. Having used a much cheaper version myself before, I somewhat compared it to that.
The box is much fancier than the sachet I received last time and I love the quality of it. It feels sturdy and has the added element of a pop out flap with scientific information in which I actually really enjoyed.
Inside there are very clear instructions, alongside the foot product. Unfortunately, I seem to have lost the rest of the pictures but I liked how the 'boot' came in a very secure bag and folded, so it didn't loose any of the product. Once placing the boots on, there was also tape included to make them sealed at the…
Like many of these types of posts, it's become a tradition for me to share my Best Nine photo of Instagram. This year, there isn't a whole lot of explanation needed, with many of the photos shared from my mum's wedding earlier this year, back in August.
It's been a big year, with my first photo being the biggest event of the year. I started my new course, Midwifery at the University of Nottingham. This photo is actually taken on our very first day and shows me alongside all my - now - housemates. I really tried to make the effort to get fit this year and this selfie snapped in the women's gym shows just how hard I tried. I went at 9.30pm at night! My best friend's father took this very candid photo just after the wedding ceremony and it is without a doubt my favourite. I love how it captures my smile and shows the blue eyeshadow that I worked so hard to match perfectly to the dress. Another shot from the wedding, this time from the photo shoot just before we hea…
Some highlights from January: the most unhealthy shopping trip, venue searching and homemade pizza!

I've been spending a lot of time at Archery recently. I love it. I love the sport, and more importantly, I love the people. I wish I'd been able to shoot last year because I defintely would have had a happier time for sure. I think it's all about balance and having a bit of downtime is just so freeing. Even the girls mention it every time I come home; they can see how much happier I am just from having that little bit of space. Plus, I'm finally starting to see progress. I ended up getting quite a few ten's towards the end of the month and despite four ending up on the floor because of the danage (new word for me!) being badly in need of repair, I'm really happy. I'm even ready to buy my own bow!
I had a couple of really hard nights, feeling like the girls are constantly ganging up on me so Bridget invited me over to…
