I had always wanted to try the Touche Éclat Foundation. I have seen so many beauty bloggers rave about this product, however I resisted for a while because I love my Chanel Vitalumière Aqua. However, after I came back from holiday, I had tanned so I decided rather than buying one shade darker in the Chanel foundation, I would try out the new YSL one. I went to John Lewis and the lady colour matched me, I went with one shade lighter than she suggested because on my skin any type of foundation oxidises so much and leaves my skin dull.

I recently received my first ever Birchbox  last week and I have to say I am very happy with the contents. Birchbox in case you didn’t know is a beauty box, which is delivered to you for a price of £10 + £2.95 each month. It’s very similar to Glossybox and a whole bunch of other similar beauty boxes out there. You receive around six products (makeup, skincare and others), some full size and some samples of various brands. I used to get Glossybox beauty boxes but then I started to tire of them as I found they mainly only did skincare stuff, which bored me so I stopped. Then this year I decided I wanted to try it out again but I thought I would try Birchbox (which used to be JolieBox in the UK) this time. I am so happy I did, I love what I received in my May BirchBox. Products shown are: Electric Hair Intensive Treatment Masque, Kusmi Tea Detox Tea, Murad® Hydro-Dynamic® Ultimate Moisture for eyes, OPI Nail Lacquer, WEI Pomegranate Buffing Beeds and Laura Geller inkwe
