My Little Box #1 - May 2015

This month’s box is Provence themed and I am a little excited about it too. I have also noticed that the majority of the products are from one brand. Here is what I got:- L’Occitane Mer & Mistral Shower Gel | 50ml - £12.00 | This smells heavenly and a lot like a Noble Isle shower gel I had before. I do quite like receiving shower gel samples, just not every month. L’Occitane Roses et Reines Hand & Nail Cream | 10ml - £14.00 | This is in such a cute tube and the rose scent is quite nice, but I’m not really into hand creams. There’s just something about them! L’Occitane Verbena Body Lotion | 30ml - £20.00 | This smells amazing and the bottle is so cute, but I hate body lotions! L’Occitane Verbena Leaf Soap | 25g - £4.50 | I love how the shape of the soap is a leaf and I am actually interested in trying it. You use it for your face and it is supposed to lightly exfoliate too. I hope it smells just as good as the body lotion. My Little Beaut...

Haul: Happy Birthday to Me!

As you can probably tell from the title, it is my birthday today! I thought I would share what I got with you. I did receive money too, but you don’t need to see that. My parents got me a Mikey London Rose Gold Chain Bracelet , which is extendable because I have quite big wrists. They also got me a Kipling Bag . I’m not too sure what it is called, but it is black with coloured birds all over it. It also has a pink monkey called Alyssa. My sister got me a Floral Thoughts ‘Apple’ Candle and H.Samuel Long Stud Earrings , which have a light lilac stone design. She also visited a LUSH shop for the first time the other week and asked me if I wanted anything. I told her of a couple of things I was interesting in trying, but she came back empty handed, or so I thought! When I opened my gifts I found she had bought me LUSH Grease Lightning and a LUSH Soap Stack in Rock Star & Godmother . She actually didn’t realise that she had bought a soap stack; she assumed it was just a ba...

Glossybox #14 - May 2015

I wasn’t really looking forward to this box from the previews I saw last month, but each box is still a surprise. Here is what I got this month:- MeMeMe Enchanted Eyes Dual Ended Eye Wand in Midnight Storm | £6.95 | The colours do look quite pretty, but I find the points are too large for eyeliner. For someone who is not a pro at applying eyeliner, I try and buy pencils with smaller points. They do feel quite creamy and apply nice when swatched, so I am sure they could probably be used as bases, although I do sense that they would be buggers for creasing! Etre Belle Aloe Vera Ultra Moisturising Gel | 40ml - £15.93 | This looks kind of odd in the tube, but I am interested to try it because I’ve only ever tried cream moisturisers. Zerreau Towel Off Shampoo Foam | 70ml - £7.95 | This is not really a product that interests me. I get why it exists, but I would want my hair to feel clean and not just look clean. I would still opt for an actual full hair wash. S...

Escada Collector's Edition Gift Set

I’ve always been interested in trying Escada fragrances, but there are so many to choose from and I didn’t want to risk buying a full size bottle. I came across this little gift set whilst I was shopping online at Boots and clicked buy straight away! All four fragrances are in a tiny, but cute 4ml potion looking bottle. Here are the four scents you get to try:- TURQUOISE SUMMER This bottle is a turquoise/clear theme and contains the notes; pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, peach, violet, orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. It smells really strong of orange blossom and kind of like a car air freshener. It does linger quite a while on the skin, but it is not really a strong scent. Overall I don’t like this scent. It doesn’t really smell of anything to me and what you can smell isn’t what I would call pleasant. I give this perfume 1/5 . BORN IN PARADISE This bottle’s theme is the same as Turquoise Summer and contains the notes; green apple, watermelo...

Birchbox #4 - May 2015

This month’s theme is ‘Free Your Mind’. The box comes looking quite plain, but with a patterned outline. You also got a small packet of coloured pencils, which you were supposed to use to decorate the box. Here is what products were inside my box:- Jelly Pong Pong Caribbean Sun Bronzer Duo in Martinique | 3g - £15.95 | This is kind of an odd product. It actually looks like eyeshadow. I’m also guessing you would have a hard time applying it as the pans are quite small, and it doesn’t look like a make-up brush would fit in there. CAUDALIE Vinoperfect Radiance Tinted Moisturiser in 01) Light | 15ml - £27.00 | I am quite interested in trying this and it looks like a decent sample. I’ve tried a serum from this line before and loved that, so I am hoping this is good. Even if I do like it, I’m not sure I would pay out for a full size tube! WAH LONDON Nail Polish in Baby Gurl | 6.5ml - £9.00 | This looks like a really nice light pink and I can’t wait to try it!...
