August Birchbox

Today my Birchbox arrived (best delivery of the month) how exciting! and I was so impressed with this months box. Not only was the packaging itself great but everything inside was just as good. 

August was the #BEAUTYJUNKIE box and was covered in the cutest beauty emojis, which I loved. Inside were some stickers to match the packaging as well as plenty of other great goodies. 

All the beauty items were in a really good quality draw string bag to keep them all safe and will come in handy for storage.

In this months box there was 3 makeup samples which are my favourite things to receive in my birchbox so that was exciting, and all 3 items were from my favourite makeup brands which was even better. Inside was a sample of the Benefit high beam which I have wanted to try for so long after so many people have spoke about it,  the Laura Mercier Kohl eye pencil in Black Violet and the glow enhancer by Illamasqua. 

I am also very excited to try the other 3 products which came in my box which were the Rituals body smoother, BioNike cleansing water and Kebelo clarifying shampoo. I wouldn't of thought to try any of these 3 products before so it is great that they were in here so I could give something different a go.

Prom 2015

A couple of days ago I had my sixth form leavers prom which was such a great night. The venue where it was held was Horwood House, The building and gardens were beautiful and looked great for when we all had our professional photos taken.
  Myself, my friends and my boyfriend all stayed over night which was good fun as we were all able to drink and get ready together.

The dress I wore was a long navy fitted dress with a slit up the leg and straps which crossed at the back, unfortunately I did't get many pictures of the dress itself but I will add a few pictures in and add the link to the dress.

I decided to do all my hair and makeup myself and I am quite particular with how I want them to look so I will add the links bellow to all the makeup that I wore and some close up pictures.

Homemade Milkshakes

I've seen so many people with these really cute mason drink jars lately and when I came across them for only 75p I couldn't help myself.

Everyone tends to put refreshing smoothies in them but I'm not a smoothie person so I thought I would give some homemade milkshakes a go. 

Ingredients (per 1 serving)

3 scoops of vanilla ice cream

150ml of semi skimmed milk

Hand full of ingredients of your choice

Recipe

Making homemade milkshakes are much easier and nicer than you think. You only need the very minimum amount of ingredients and you are able to add any flavour you want (I used maltesers).

All you need to do is put all the ingredients into a blender and mix for 30 seconds, and there you have it... your homemade milkshake.
