I've been slacking a bit on the blog front recently and I can only apologise for that. Time seems to be flying by this summer and I just haven't had the time to sit down and share a post with you guys, even though that's no excuse and I apologise. Today I bring you what was inside my Birchbox this month. This months theme is Away We Go, whilst isn't my favourite Birchbox (the last two boxes were aaamazing!) I will definitely use everything in there, even if the holiday based theme does make me depressed at the fact that I'm not going away anywhere this year and it officially becoming Autumn in the UK. Raining on the summer bank holiday, not cool.

| Birchbox August 2014 (£10 per month plus £2.95 p+p) |
 |
| Nude ProGenius Omega Treatment Oil (£58 for 30ml) |
The first item I received is the Nude's ProGenius Treatment Oil. This oil claims to increase the skin's natural radiance and contains Omega 3,6,7 &9. I didn't even know Omega 7 existed?!? This oil is gorgeous, it leaves my skin ridiculously smooth. At £58 a pop though I don't think I'll be purchasing any time soon.
 |
| Vasanti Brightenup! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator (£26) |
I rarely get excited about skin care any more especially cleansers so I wasn't overjoyed with this exfoliating cleanser but it will put it to good use, the small size is perfect for taking with me if I go away for a few days and that is what the August box is about.
 |
| Number 4 Super Comb Prep & Protect (£20) |
Suffering from dry ends it's always a pleasure to receive any sort of conditioning treatment in a beauty box, this Prep & Protect Leave-In Conditioning Spray by Number 4 is just what I needed. It smells absolutely gorgeous! Whilst it's not quite as good as my trusty It's a 10, it definitely works at keeping my hair soft and smooth.
 |
| Supergoop! Daily Correct SPF 35 CC Cream (£32) |
I don't think I've actually jumped on the CC cream band wagon yet and tried one. These little samples of CC cream with SPF 35 are by Supergoop and I'm actually excited to use this, just waiting on a good skin day first.
 |
| Chella Highlighter Pencil (£15.95) |
By far my favourite item in the box this month. This highlight pencil by Chella is truly gorgeous, it is super creamy and applies smoothly to the skin. My only worry is it's quite thick and super pigmented so may look at little OTT on the cheekbones but I shall have a play and I'm sure I'll be able to make it work.
 |
| The Proposal by Tasmina Perry (£7.99) |
I'm not a big fan of books tbh, so I'll pass this onto someone else but I love the idea of including a little sample of book to try it before you buy. You may not have even given this book a second glance otherwise.
What did you receive in this month's Birchbox?
Have a great day!
