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 Beauty Crayon Épatant
| 1.5g - £9.00 |
This is a nice addition and a sort of chocolate brown shade. I’m not sure how I would use it, as it’s slightly too big for an eyeliner and it’s not my kind of shade for an all over eye base.

My Little Beauty The Sunny Cuff
| Metal cuff & 2 threads - £15.00 |
This is an interesting addition too. It’s not something I am interested in, and the cuff doesn’t fit my wrist anyway. You get two colour threads, which you use to create a pattern through the holes on the cuff. I will be giving this to my Sister and it will keep her occupied too (she’s 18 lol)!
I love the theme for this box so much. You also got Provence inspired fashion magnets included. Anything Parisian themed is a winner for me. I wasn’t exactly sold on the products included in this box, but the design is perfect!

What are your thoughts on this box?

Perfume Power! - Sarah Jessica Parker 'Covet'

I bought this perfume back in March. I tested it a couple of years ago and I thought I liked it, but since buying it my opinion has slightly changed. The bottle design is a flower. The cap looks like petals and the base of the bottle is rounded, so to me it looks like a flower. It is clear glass and the liquid is a green/yellow colour. I really like the bottle design; it is very feminine and will look cute sat on a dressing table. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Lavender, Pelargonium Leaf, Dark Chocolate & Sicilian Lemon Middle Notes: Honeysuckle, Magnolia & Lily Of The Valley Base Notes: Amber, Musk, Cashmere Wood, Vetiver & Teak Wood To me it smells very floral and mature. I can smell the musk, lily of the valley and sicilian lemon, but I can’t pick out any other of the notes. If chocolate wasn’t listed, I would never have known it was in there! It does last a while on the skin, for me it lasted an hour and then lingered slightly for a bit afte...

Boots.com Haul #2 + Blog Sale Purchase

I thought I would share a haul with you today. I haven’t done one for a while but I recently ordered a few items from Boots and I wanted to let you know about it. I bought the Real Techniques Brush Cleansing Palette , which includes two sample sachets of the deep cleansing gel. I have been waiting for something like this and I cannot wait to try it. I simply refuse to buy the Sigma version, plus I don’t think it needs to be that big. I also got a packet of the Oral-B Precision Clean Electric Toothbrush Heads because they were on offer and I got eight for the price of four. I got four tubes of the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Hand Sanitiser because I absolutely love the scent and I wanted to put them in difference rooms so they are always to hand when needed. I bought a back-up of the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation , which is my favourite foundation and I use the shade 010 Light Porcelain. Lastly, I got the Rimmel Brow This Way Styling Gel in Clear. It is the second tube I...
