We love checking out the awesome beauty blogs and vlogs that Lily Pebbles writes and creates – she has some serious beauty knowledge! We chatted with her recently and asked her to pick some of her favourites from the Birchbox e-shop. Here, she explains why you should try them, too:
1. The Balm How ‘Bout Them Apples Palette
The first thing I noticed, aside from the packaging *insert heart eyes emoji*, is that unlike most cheek/lip products this actually works well on both cheeks and lips. On the lips it feels like a slightly matte balm, it starts glossy but dries down and lasts nicely on the lips. For the cheeks they also apply nicely and if you blend quickly they then dry down to a sort of powder finish. The range of shades are gorgeous too and there isn’t one that I wouldn’t wear.
2. Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage
The great thing about this concealer is not just how it covers, but how it lasts… It’s a great one for oily skin and for those who need their makeup to last long days.
3. Soigné Nail Lacquer
The quality is really nice and I found the brush really easy to use!
4. RMK Creamy Foundation
With the RMK Creamy Foundation, it was love at first buff and I haven’t used anything else since.
5. Aromatherapy Associates Miniature Bath & Shower Oils
Aromatherapy Associates have always got it SO right. If you like bath oils, look no further, these are the best I have ever tried. They are amazing quality oils that actually do what they promise to do. If you have trouble clearing your mind, sleeping or just relaxing – these really do the job and I highly recommend them.
6. Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser
If you’re just getting into skincare this is the perfect cleanser, no matter how old you are. It’s a cream base and it comes in a really handy and clean pump. The best thing about it, apart from that it’s really gentle, is that it removes all makeup.
