Birchbox Best Of

So no nail art today, but I felt like breaking from the normal routine for something else I love: Birchboxes! Firstly just look at how beautiful they all are. I've been subscribed to them for a year now, and it seems about time I did a top ten of all the products I've used from them. This was surprisingly hard!

1. Seche Vite (Oct '15) The actual, literal reason I signed up for Birchbox, just to get this fast drying bad boy. It's still as perfect today as it was back then, a glossy and speedy end to any mani.
2. Kueshi Foot Cream (Apr '16) Lemme tell you a secret: I have nasty feet. They need exfoliating with a sander daily and it's rare that any moisturiser actually works for me, which is another reason to love Kueshi. Its light, eucalyptus scented goodness soaks in super fast so I'm not hopping around, and genuinely works. If angels could come in liquid form, they would be this.
3. L. Erikson Pony (Feb '16) Strange, right? A ponytail being one of the best things. But I use this thing nearly every day, and considering it's been nearly 8 months, it's one tough mother. I go through normal bands like no one's business. This also looks better than normal thin bands as a bracelet...
4. Cynthia Rowley Eyeliner (Apr '16) All my life, I've been using cheapy crappy eyeliner. I assumed this would be the same. I was wrong. It's so pigmented, so easy for smoky looks or neat defined wings. As inexperienced as I am, this is the best eyeliner ever.
5. So Susan Mascara (Nov '15) And this is the best mascara ever. Sure, I would prefer a lengthening formula for my teeny lashes, but volume is good for when I'm too lazy for eyeliner. Fluffy, defined, pretty lashes.
6. Crabtree & Evelyn Hand Cream (Jan '16) As a frequent user of acetone and other harsh chemicals, I need good hand creams. This rivals, if not bests, BodyShop hand creams. The smell is also amazing, it's indescribable but really fresh and uplifting. If I could bathe my whole body in this scent, you know I would.
7. Marcelle Eyeliner (Aug '16) I got mine in brown and it's the perfect brow pencil. I don't do coloured eyeliner, but I do do thick brows. Before this I only had stuff to darken brows, but not define. Now I can do both at once! 
8. Arrow Boost Lip Balm (Mar '16) A lip colour that also balms and smells amazing? Yes! Again, it's hard to describe the scent (or maybe I'm just bad at it), with hints of citrus and tang. I like this as a base for really dry liquid lipsticks. It's not the best lip balm I've ever used but I so love the packaging too. 
9. #NoFilter Mirror (Jan '16) What's there to say? It's a pretty mirror, we all need mirrors. Though we don't all like having to clean them as often as this one sided thing.
10. CM Style de Paris (Dec '15) I love perfumes, but half of the love goes to the packaging. Admittedly a tiny perfume sample isn't pretty, however when it smells like this, of flowers and lemons, I don't mind. If only the full size bottle wasn't so pricey, this is one of my favourite ever perfumes...

So there we have it, I hope you enjoyed this blabbering egotistical list. Lists are love, lists are life. Anyway, have a nice day whatever you're doing, and swatches will resume tomorrow. We're moving onto my second favourite polish brand... Stay tuned and beautiful.
