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!

If no one else tells you today...you're beautiful!
This post was meant to go live a long time ago but life got hectic and I only just got around to writing and sharing it. If you watched the vlog of me going and coming back from my OSCE you'll have seen that despite feeling absolutely terrible, I was really relaxed. If you compare this to my Medicine OSCE, it's a pretty crazy difference.
Medicine could have been on any number of examinations that we'd learnt in first year and then in second year it could have been on first or second year. The point being, we didn't know what it was and what would come up. We also didn't see any practice OSCEs, or have any mark schemes given prior. Plus, we had 8 to 10 different stations that ran very smoothly with timings going off on when to switch.
The midwifery OSCE was simple. We were told in advance it would be on hand washing and medicine management. They would continue on from each other and you could have pretty much as long as you needed. You didn't have to pass it to …
Avengers: Endgame is the intense conclusion to the Avengers Saga. Click here to watch the trailer or see below.
The film picks up exactly where the previous one ends and it’s definitely a poetic scene with the last. It's sad to see Tony Stark so dishevelled and seeing him recording final messages to Pepper and giving up is heartbreaking. He's giving up on life, and for a moment, I really thought it would be the end of him.
Avengers Endgame is - supposedly - the final film in the Avengers franchise and of course, I was looking forward to it. Sometimes I think my high expectations ruin films, as too often I find myself coming out of an eagerly anticipated film disappointed and while I originally enjoyed the film, upon discussion with friends, I’ve realised there were too many parts I didn’t enjoy and it’s somewhat ruined the film for me. Reminder: don’t dissect I decent film again.
Of course, it was incredible to see all the cast come together for an epic battle of all propo…
