Free Beauty Blender from Birchbox!

Just a quick post to alert you all to this great offer! If you read my review of the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge you'll notice I said I was really keen to try the real Beauty Blender. However I would only try it if Birchbox did another of their amazing offers.

I don't know if it's fate or a pure coincidence but an email has just dropped in to my mailbox from Birchbox with another of their amazing free Beauty Blender offers on.

You have to be a new subscriber to Birchbox and it can be a monthly, six month or 12 month subscription. You also only have 48 hours to claim this! That means you're paying £12.95 for a Birchbox, a Beauty Blender and the Beauty Blender cleaner. 

There is another offer on for those of you who have a Beauty Blender, and you can receive a free Wild About Beauty palette, which does look stunning. 


Review | Duo Striplash Adhesive


If you were to ask most of the girls you know what makeup task they find most difficult I'm pretty certain most of them would say applying false eyelashes - and possibly liquid liner. Which wouldn't surprise me, because for years I've longed to be able to wear false eyelashes but I've just never been able to actually get them on to my eyes. I've been unsure whether it was me, whether it was the eyelashes or whether it was the glue, and I've finally realised it's all in the glue when it comes to false lashes. I had suspected this because the eyelash glue you get with Primark lashes might as well just be water, it does nothing!

Review | Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge



When it comes to foundation application the thought of using a sponge used to once disgust me. When I think of foundation sponges I just think of the multi packs you can buy in Poundland or dirty sponges girls in high school would keep in their makeup bag -  and those kind still do disgust me. However, in the past few years the beauty industry has seen the launch of several different foundation sponges, most notably the Beauty Blender. I've never tried the original but I've tried a cheap one off eBay and needless to say, it was rubbish! Around a year ago, Real Techniques, released their own version of the Beauty Blender and with mixed reviews across the board I've always been keen to try it, so on a recent trip to Boots I noticed they had their 3 for 2 offer on and picked one up to try.
