YouBeauty Discovery Box - November Edition

Beauty box subscriptions have always been a favourite of mine, you never know what you're going to get so it's like getting a present every month! (and I love getting presents haha) 

I subscribed to the YouBeauty Discovery Box a few months ago and I love the concept of it, these beauty boxes have a difference to them. You get emailed a list of products which you pick two every month, they then get sent out to you in a little box along with some added extra treats for you to try out.

In my box this month I decided I was going to try the following products;

Dr.Organic Royal Jelly Eye Serum (£9.49 for 15ml) - for a while I had been looking for an eye serum but never knew which one to go for, so seeing this come up on the list I could pick from I thought why not. It's worth a try right? The serum is said to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, reduce under eye puffiness, reduce dark circles and promote cell regeneration. This is ideal because this serum does everything that you would want an eye cream to do. The size I got is 15ml this is going to last me a long time because when using eye creams, you never need much of the product. I am looking forward to using this!

Jane Iredale Smooth Affair Primer & Brightener (£36.00 for full size) - primers have always been something that I would buy loads of just to try them out, so being a love of primers I decided to try the Jane Iredale Smooth Affair Primer & Brightener. The added bonus being that it is also a brightener which is ideal from hearing about this product - I see it a lot like the MAC strobe cream not saying that it is a dupe for it but it's similar in what it does. The packaging for the product is really nice it's a copper bottle with rose gold detailing, you don't get a lot of product but you will get a few uses out of it. I have yet to try this but from what I have seen so far I think I am going to be very impressed by it.

The two other extra treats which were added into my box were;

I love...perfectly peachy bath & shower creme - there is one thing I love and it's nice smelling shower creme's and from smelling this I know I'm going to love it. It smells just like peaches and cream with a hint of vanilla. For the sample you get quite a lot of product which you will be able to get a few washes out of it, obviously depending on how much you use each time. I have seen the I love... brand before and getting this sample I will definitely be getting some of this. The good thing about the I love... brand is that they're supporting the CoppaFeel #SHOWERHIJACK campaign which is an organisation that helps women learn the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, so it's all for a good cause - especially with it being in beauty boxes it gets the message out to a lot of females.

DHC Alpha - Arbutin White Mask - I have never heard of the DHC brand but from reading the booklet you get with your box it is a Japanese brand. I have yet to use the Arbutin White Mask but from reading that it fights dullness and discolouration I am excited to try it just to see if it works. I will do a follow up review of this mask when I have used it with my thoughts.

What you get in these boxes are definitely worth the money, with it being only £6.95 per month and you get to try new products from brands which aren't that well known or recognisable brands. You get the freedom too from when you're able to pick what you want to try - so you aren't getting products which you wouldn't ever think of using.

I hope you liked this post, I will be doing these monthly. Leave a comment and tell me what you think.

Until Next Time,

October Favourites!

So October's over, November's here. I thought I would share with you my favourites from October, some of these have been my favourites for over a month I would have done them in past favourites but with me not actually starting this blog until the end of October when I was able to actually sit and put the time and effort into this, but these products have continued to be a favourite for over a month.

Clinique Contour Chubby Stick - I wanted to purchase this for so long after seeing Emily Canham (imhereforever on YouTube) using it and giving it nothing but good reviews. But I didn't want to spend the money if I wasn't going to like it, so like any person I waited till I was going on holiday and got it in Duty Free for less.
This is something I have reached for whenever I do my make up whether it's being used on it's own or as a base under my contour, it's easily blendable and you don't need that much on for it to give the desired look. I have quite fair skin and this works well with my skin tone but I have seen it used on so many different skin tones which is an added bonus.



Avon Anew Mascara and Serum - Hearing about different serums to use on eyelashes I never thought they would actually work, but I have been corrected the Avon Anew Serum is a god send it actually works! I use this whenever I put mascara on now this has done nothing but make them look even better.
The serum is said to strengthen your eyelashes and make them look fuller which I agree it does. Using the mascara along with this serum is the best combination I have worn no other mascara since I got this. I am not really keen on plastic wands when it comes to mascara I personally prefer the bristles, but this is amazing the wand makes sure you can get every lash and gives it a good coverage without it looking too clumpy. I am really happy that I decided to purchase this because I will definitely be repurchasing this.


Zoella Wonder Hand - Been the type of person that never really bothered with hand cream unless I really needed it, but after getting the Zoella Wonder Hand I don't know why I haven't been using it more often because my hands feel amazing! Especially with my job my hands are prone to getting dry especially now with it getting to winter.
Before I bought this I was worried that it would be strong smelling and with this having the same scent as Zoella's original collection which I wasn't very keen on.I didn't want it to be too strong for me. But to my surprise it isn't strong smelling at all. The one thing everyone needs in a good hand cream is that it's fast drying especially if you're on the go and can't be waiting around for it to sink in which luckily this one dries really fast leaving your hands feeling amazingly hydrated.


MAC Yash Matte Lipstick - MAC lipsticks are my ultimate favourite lipstick ever, if I could I would buy every shade possible. I am one to go for nudes, pinks and browns.
Yash is one of my most recent purchases and I don't know why I didn't find out about this sooner, this has been one of my new favourites from MAC I had never heard much about it unlike Velvet Teddy which everyone has hyped about and I agree on the hype it's amazing. Yash has taken over my love for Velvet Teddy it's the perfect nude and ideal if you don't want a lipstick that needs to look perfect for it to look good.




I'd love to know what your favourites from October are, let me know in the comments.

Until Next Time.

Girl Online Tour - Meeting Zoella/Book Signing!

The other day I was lucky enough to be able to meet one of my idols, Zoella aka Zoe Sugg. She is one of the most down to earth people I know and dead sweet, I honestly didn't think I would ever meet her. Until she released her book signing tour dates for Girl Online On Tour and she was coming to my city. I got the tickets for my sister's birthday present but I also wanted to go so it was an added bonus that I got a gift out of it.

The signing was at the Waterstones in town, and from going to Alfie's book signing I was expecting to be queuing for a while, but this one I was queuing for around an hour which compared isn't long at all. It was a lot more relaxed and not so cramped like at Alfie's, you didn't get chance to take a picture with Zoe but that's understandable when they have so many people to get through. I took Girl Online with me in hope I could also get that signed which I could thankfully, this did mean I got longer with Zoe but everyone seemed to get the same length of time.

The bracelet you receive is just at the top.

After meeting Zoe you got a tour poster with all the book signing tour dates on and a fabric wristband which had "Girl Online On Tour Zoe Sugg" on it. Ideal added extra which can be like a memory of the day along with of course a signed copy of the book. When the Girl Online On Tour pre orders came out I was on holiday at the time but I was lucky enough to get a pre order of a signed copy just incase she wasn't going to come to my city on her book tour or that I couldn't go to it, so I now have 2 signed copies. 

I started reading Girl Online On Tour as soon as I got it in the post, I am about half way through and it's amazing. The storyline is perfect and a good flow on from Girl Online, so if you haven't read Girl Online I recommend reading that before Girl Online On Tour. The book in general makes you feel a rollercoaster of emotions which you get this from both books.

Have you read Girl Online On Tour? What are your thoughts? Let me know what you think in the comments.

Until Next Time.

⛄ Lush Christmas Products ⛄

L-R Snow Fairy, Candy Mountain, Peeping Santa, Magic Wand, Yog Nog and Father Christmas

It's getting to that time of year when Lush starts to bring out their Christmas range. This is one of my favourite times of the year and it definitely gets me in the Christmas spirit. So I decided to grab some before I missed my chance.

The Peeping Santa (bubble bar) £3.95 - I haven't seen this one before in Lush but it's definitely a new favourite of mine, the cute design of this bubble bar is a Santa peeking out from under his hat which has small red hearts on. It has a sweet smell of strawberries which isn't too over powering, I don't quite understand what strawberries have to do with Christmas, but I'm not complaining I love it!

Candy Mountain (bubble bar) £2.95 - this always reminds me of the unicorn horn which Lush brought out, this is another sweet smelling bubblegum candy bubble bar. This is very girly with the pink and white swirl and the added glitter.

Father Christmas (bath bomb) £3.65 - this is an old favourite at Lush. If you like Snow Fairy you will love this as this bath bomb has the same scent but it's not as strong so this might be better for some people who aren't a big fan of Snow Fairy if it's too strong for them. The bath bomb is just red and white with Santa's face being the bath bomb itself.

Yog Nog (bath bomb) £3.95- the Yog Nog bath bomb is one of my personal favourites, the smell of toffee, caramel and spices which to me is the true smell of Christmas. They also have a Yog Nog soap which they also have out throughout Christmas. On the bath bomb it is a golden/yellow and white colour with Christmas patterns such as Christmas Trees and Stars around it.

Star Magic Wand (bubble bar) £5.25- the pink star covered in silver glitter is the perfect bubble bar which can I add is reusable, all you need to do is swirl it around your bath and it will fill your bath with bubbles. Even down to the detailing it has a small silver bell with a ribbon, when using it in your bath it makes everything that little bit more magical. It's like Snow Fairy on a stick!

Snow Fairy (body wash) £12.95 for 500g - everyone and their dog knows about Snow Fairy and it comes back year after year, you have to make sure you get enough of it before it's gone. The sweet candy bubblegum smell fills the bathroom for hours after you have used it.

Christmas products at Lush need to be sweet smelling and contain plenty of glitter (what more could you want) of course Lush have manage to achieve this year after year!

What are your Lush favourites at Christmas? Is there any I need to try?

Until next time.

But hey I'm Paige and welcome to my blog! I hope that this won't be the only post on here. It would be really nice if you could give me a follow or even a comment.
