January Birchbox!

Hey!

So this blog is on January's Birchbox, which is my first box of my subscription. This is not a review because I haven't had time to try out all of the products, so I will just be showing you what's in the box and saying my opinion on it! If you don't know what a Birchbox is, it's a beauty sample box that you can buy subscription too and get it delivered to your house every month. It's a sample service which gives you the chance to try out some high-end products that you normally wouldn't. I think it's a great idea!! 

So first I will show you how Birchbox came packaged. It came in this cute little box with a bag inside filled with goodies. I really like how it's packaged and how the bag and box are both re-usable!

This is a picture of all the contents from this months box.

So in the box there was:

- a mini Porefessional from Benefit

- a mini Phillip Kinglsey moisture balancing conditioner 

- a mini Blanc Cachemire moisturiser 

- a mini Lavera hand cream 

- a mini Beekind body lotion

I was very happy with everything I received in this months box, especially the Porefessional by Benefit as I have been wanting to try it out for a long whe so this is the perfect chance! 

I will hopefully be trying out all the products really soon, and doing a review on a couple of my favourites! 

Thanks for reading!

Random little haul that was not planned in anyway!

Today 

 Hey!

So this blog post is just a random haul, I did some shopping today and bought some nice things so I thought I would share them with you! They are not necessarily beauty related, they are just some nice things I bought! 

So first of all is a really nice jewellery plate that I bought from a shop called EmZo. It's a really nice pinky/purple colour and has a pretty pattern on it and I will be putting it on my dressing table with jewellery on or maybe even a candle. This plate was only £2.95!!! 

Another thing I got from EmZo today is this pair of earrings. They had a whole rose gold range (which excited me immensely) and so obviously I had to get something! These earrings are a bit heavy but I really liked them and I think they look nice with my hair down and curly. They were £4.50 which I thought was soooo reasonable! 

Today I also got 2 hair products, one of which is a conditioner that is specifically for blonde hair as you all know I have had my hair ombréd recently so I want to keep it as nice and blonde as possible. It is a bit scary as when the conditioner comes out of the tube it is BRIGHT purple but it just takes the brassy, yellow tones out of your dyed blonde hair. I think this product was only about £5 which is good! 

The other hair product I got was a new heat protection spray which is from VO5. I have been curling my hair a lot recently and as my hair is now half bleached it's really important that I protect my hair from heat as I have put it through enough trauma already! Haha. Another good thing is that this product smells sooo good! 

Another thing I bought from EmZo is these really sweet paper straws which are pink and white stripes! I don't know what to say about these... They're just cute straws. 

And last I got some new fake eyelashes which means I am very happy. I got 2 sets which are both from Eyelure, from the Naturalites range. I got one set of the 101's and one set of the 107's. I have had the 107's before so I know I like them and the 101's look slightly more natural and not as long in the outer corners. 

Before I go I would like to recommend some music and a tv/film once a month, starting which my favourite music and tv/film of January! If you know me, you will know that my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE film of January 2014 was Frozen. I love the animation, the characters, the moral of the story, the music, and all the Tumblr Gifs that have been created from it. If you haven't seen it, change that right now. Go. It will change your life.

The music I would like to recommend this month is an old set of songs, just done on a new way. Ke$ha has done an album called 'Deconstructed' which is some of her songs (such as Blow, Die Young etc...) and done acoustic and un-auto tuned versions of them! They're really good and DEFINATLEY worth checking out even if you are not a Ke$ha fan. 

Anyway thanks for reading!!

With love, Jessica xx

P.s I will be back soon with a beauty blog post as I received my BirchBox a few days ago!!!!! AHHHH! Exciting right?!?
