The British Beauty Blogger edit box!


II have been so excited for this box to arrive! It was created by the lovely Jane Cunningham over at britishbeautyblogger.com and cost a mere £20 (inc £5 postage). Unhfortunately these are no longer available there were only 500 boxes which sold out in a matter of hours! This is definitely the best beauty box I've come across not only because the value of the contents is over £125 but because these are products are handpicked by Jane as her favourites. Anyway, I'll get onto the contents;


The box includes 14 products some of which are samples and some are full size;
   - B Mascara Full Size (worth £9.99)
   - Benefit the Porefessional 7.5ml (worth £8)
   - Bioeffect EGF Serum 2.5ml - (worth £20)
   - Bourjois Cream Blush Full Size (worth £7.99)
   - CND Solaroil 3.7ml (worth £3)
   - Elemis Tri Enzyme Face Mask (worth £15)
   - Illamasqua Liquid Metal Eye Shadow in Electrum Full Size (worth £17.50)
   - Jo Loves Pomelo Fragrance Sample size
   - Lanolips Lip Balm Full Size (worth £8)
   - Melvita Orange Blossom Floral Water (worth £2)
   - Melvita Ultra Nourishing Body Balm 15ml (worth £2.50)
   - Neom Hand Cream in Complete Bliss 50ml (worth £13)
   - Philosophy Purity Cleanser Full Size (worth £8)
   - Trilogy Rosehip Face Oil Full Size (worth £16.50)

Jane has also included a leaflet with info on all of the products and even discount codes for some, including 20% off Elemis!
I'm very very impressed with this and can't wait to try out all of the products. I'll no doubt be doing reviews on some of then when I've had chance to try them all properly!

Did you manage to get a BBB box? What do you think of it?

May wishlist!



Heyy!
Today's gonna be a busy day so I've only got time to do a quick wishlist, that sounds awful I'm sorry but I've got to nip back to Liverpool for a meeting (booooo!). Anyway, this is my may wishlist! I'll probably buy most of these things over the next couple of weeks as I haven't splurged in a while and I've wanted them for ages! 
May wishllist

1/ Vivienne Westwood Pale Pink Orb Studs £85
2/ Glossybox subscription
3/ Mac blusher £15.30 - Debenhams
4/ Nose Ring £2.95 - Amazon
5/ Pale Pink Converse £43 - Schuh 
6/ Pastel Violet Satchel £86 - Zatchels
7/ Ombre Hair Extensions - Beauty works

I've been reading a lot of peoples blogs recently who are subscribers to Glossybox and I find it so exciting that you get new beauty products delivered to your door every month! Especially as its so cheap, it's £10 per month (plus p+p) and I've seen some boxes where the value of the products inside is in excess of £50!

Pastels are very in this summer which is why I've added pastel pink Converse and a Pastel Lilac Zatchel to my wishlist. I currently only have black Converse which I absolutely LOVE, they literally go with any outfit and are sooo comfy so I've decided I want a summery pair too!

I'm still a huge fan of Ombre/Dip dyed hair. It makes a massive difference but isn't as drastic as bleaching the whole of your hair! I'm still undecided if I want Ombre extensions or whether to get my own hair Ombre'd, but I definitely want something doing, my hairs so plain!

What's on your wishlist?

Beauty Wishlist



I've been neglecting my beauty product collection recently and it's been slowly decreasing in size so I thought I'd make myself a wishlist as motivation to buy them all!


1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8



1. Benefit "That Gal" Face Primer £22.50 - I really really need a Primer, the reviews on this seem good so I'll probably buy a small pot of this at some point to try out. 
2. Lipcote Lipstick Sealer £3.99 - It annoys me so much when you find the most perfect shade in a lipstick then you find that it wears off in about an hour. This happens to me too often so I definitely need to invest in this. You can also pick it up at Primark for £3 - so I've been told.
4. Rimmel Instant Wash off Tan £2.99 - I've just bought St Tropez's Gradual Tan Mousse (will put up a review in a few days) which I'm planning on using as a base tan but I want something that I can use to just top up my tan for when I go for a night out. This is half price at the minute so I've just bought it online. Hopefully it's good, Rimmel are usually quite consistent with their products.
4. Soap and Glory Thick & Fast Mascara £10.00 - Recently discovered this mascara and I'm completely in love with it. It makes your lashes look really thick without being clumpy. Not a bad price either!
5. Nails Inc Graffiti Nail Polish £11.00 - This just makes me think of the 90's and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Nails Inc nail varnishes are always amazing quality and last for ages so I deffo think this would be a good purchase!
6. Clinique 3 Step Kit £20.00 - I've had this kit before and it made my skin so soft and helped get rid of blemishes. I don't know why I never re-purchased it but I came across a review of it on a beauty blog and remembered how good it was, so it's going on my must-have list. The good thing about these kits are that there are different ones for different skins types from dry/ combination/ oily. You get a face wash, a toner for exfoliating and a moisturiser. I just think it's a brill kit and worth a try if you have trouble with your skin.
7. Essie Lilacism Nail Polish £7.99 - I just wanted a light summery nail polish as most of the colours I own are either dark or nude. Heard very good things about Essie nails polishes too!
8. Simple Vitamin Night Cream £5.59 - My skin gets very dry over night, especially as my boyfriend insists on having the fan on, and pointed at our faces all night (grrr!) so I've been looking for a night cream to wear. I have quite sensitive skin so this simple night cream seemed like the best option as it has no perfumes or harsh chemicals in it. It's a tad pricey but I'm hoping its quite thin creams would probably clog up pores over night and cause nasty break outs. Worth a try anyway!

Whats on your beauty wishlist? and have you ever tried any of the products on mine? Please send me links to reviews or comment your thoughts if you have :)
