Face and outfit of the day: ft. *Firmoo Glasses

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Here is my makeup for the day, featuring my Firmoo glasses that I received today (full review coming soon). This FOTD (face of the day) also features some of the new makeup products I received over the past two weeks. 

1. Maybelline Watershine Lip Gloss (shade Frozen Watermelon): My mum bought this for me a couple of weeks ago and I really like it. It is a gorgeous pinky peach shade which looks very pretty on the lips. It applies well, it makes the lips look glossy and fuller. Although the smell/taste is not nice at all, in my opinion. 

2. The Body Shop Moisture Foundation (shade 02): I bought this a few days ago and I have only tried it twice but I do like it so far. It matches me well, it applies well with my Cosmo sponge and it is quite dewy looking on the skin. Full review after I have tried it more.

3. Laura Geller Inkwell Waterproof Liner (Black): I received this in my March Birch Box a couple of days ago. I love the brush in the lid and this liner is just so quick and easy to apply which is why I am reaching for this product again. 

4. Collection 200 Lipstick (shade tea rose): I bought this from Morrisons about a week ago. It applies well and it is just a pretty, fresh everyday shade. It is easy to wear and works with everything!

5. Kiehls Ultra Facial Cream: This is a sample that I had in my Selfridges beauty advent calendar. I have been using it for about a week and I really like it - it doesn't irritate my skin, even though my eczema has flared up for the past two weeks. Moisturising but light and it smoothes the skin quickly and easily. 

6. Cosmopolitan Beauty Sponge: I have gone though about five or six of these foundation sponges and I just love them. As my eczema has been a pain for the past two weeks I have only been able to use this damp sponge to apply my foundation - love it. 

Here is the results of my makeup and here are my new glasses from Firmoo. I received my glasses yesterday and I LOVE them! They fit so well and they are prescription! Cannot recommend these glasses enough and the delivery was very quick - full review coming soon. 

And finally my outfit of the day (OOTD) featuring my Firmoo glasses and my new Topshop sale jeans. I bought the jeans from the online Topshop sale last week and they arrived a couple of days ago - very happy with them and they were only £25 which is cheap for Topshop jeans. My top is from newlook and my ballet pumps are from La Redoute - in the sale.

Birch Box: March 2013

Here is what I received in my March Birchbox. The birch box beauty box subscription is £10 (+postage) each month and in my opinion it is definitely worth the money! I have read a couple of blog posts about this box, before I received my box, and some people received a beauty blender in their box - so while I was opening my box I was chanting 'please let there be a beauty blender in the box, please let there be a beauty blender in the box'! Unfortunately I didn't get one in mine but this is what I received!

1. Sanctuary Spa 30 Day Thermal Transformation Duo: I have received this a couple of times before in beauty boxes and I haven't used any of them as my skin does not get along with Sanctuary skincare so I will be giving this to my auntie again. This is one of the beauty extras with this box.

2. Yu-Be Moisturising Skin Cream: This product is apparently one of the best selling skincare products in Japan since 1957. It is yellow in colour and I have only used it once/twice on my lips and it is a really nice product. It can also be used on the face and other dry areas. 

3. Molton Brown Valbonne Fragrance: I tried this yesterday and I really like this fragrance, it is a bit unusual. To me it smells like a musky floral scent - I know that sounds really generic but this perfume is very unique! It smells so elegant, mysterious and a little bit old fashion but I really like this scent. 

4. La Sultane De Saba: I tried this body lotion last night after a shower and I really like this product! It smells quite herbal, musky and unique. The body lotion has a very smooth silky texture and it applies really well. It absorbs incredibly quickly. The scent and using this product makes me think of a arabian evening or something like spices/herbs from the middle east!

5. Laura Geller Inkwell Waterproof Gel Liner: I tried this yesterday and it is great (although not as good as my Clinique gel liner). The liner is very black, the brush is in the lid so it applies easily and quickly and it is just so easy to use. 

6. Lindt Heart Tin Filled with chocolate truffles: This is another extra with this box. I do love lindt chocolates but I am going to give these to my sister. 

7. RMK Cleansing Balm: I was excited to received this in my box, I have been loving my Boots cleansing balm for the past two/three weeks so I am excited to try a new one. It smells of roses which is really nice. 

Overall, a great box I especially love the RMK Cleansing Balm, The body lotion and Laura Geller liner. But I am disappointed that I didn't received a beauty blender. Are you subscribed to BirchBox, if you are what dis you get?
