Birchbox Selfridges Box

To celebrate Birchbox turning 5 this month, they have opened up a pop up shop inside Selfridges London exclusively for the month of September. Of course when I was in London a week or so ago I just had to pay a visit and check it out. For just £15 you can build your own Birchbox, you select six products to go into your box. What isn't so clear is that you select a product from each category and two products from the make up category. This didn't really bother me but I did see some people getting quite upset by this.

From the make up category I picked up Benefit Professional & Wild About Beauty Nutrilips Gloss in Astrid (this wasn't what I originally wanted but they were sold out of the Stila Convertible Colour, boo!)

From skincare I chose the Embryolisse Lait Creme Concentre, I've been wanting to try this for ages so why not?

From haircare I struggled a bit as I either already own it or wouldn't use it so in the end I went for the Beauty Protector Protect & Oil as I already own two little bottles of this but do love it! So I thought I may as well stock up. 

In the body care section I went for the Rituals Foaming Shower Gel in Yogi Flow as foaming shower gel just seems like an awesome product to me (seriously... it's the little things in life that excite me!) and I couldn't resist the gorgeous scent of Indian Rose and Sweet Almond Oil.

And lastly from the lifestyle section I chose the Regenerate Advanced Toothpaste, I've been a bit obsessed with whitening my teeth at the moment and have wanted to try this toothpaste for a while but at £10 a tube I can't seem to justify it, so I can't wait to see if its worth it.

As a newsletter subscriber I was able to pick these two bonus items in my box, make sure you check your emails if you plan on going to Selfridges to get your own box. Who doesn't love a freebie?!?

Will you be building your own Birchbox at the pop up shop?

Hurry you only have till the end of September!

Weekend in London

This weekend I went up to London with friends. On Friday we went to Move It at Olympia. If you don't know what Move It is, it's a dance exhibition that takes place once a year around the first week of March; as dance students we couldn't not go.You can partake in classes, watch performances from professional companies and colleges and browse round the stalls whilst grabbing a bargain from the discounted dance wear. It was lovely to be able to spend the day in London with my friends and we had so much fun taking part in the Dance Inc. Ambassadors class. We got to see amazing performances including the beautiful Lukas McFarlane with the debut of his new company Untitled. He is so beautiful. On Sunday I met up with an old friend from school to go shopping on Oxford Street and see Ellie Goulding at the O2. Before the show we got to go into the Sky Lounge which is a bar located at the back of the stage, they opened the curtain so we could see into the arena which was super cool, we hung out there for a while before heading to our seats. All I need to say is that Ellie was amazing. 

Hope you guys had a great weekend too. 

Have any of you ever been to Move It?
