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?

Charlotte Tilbury Starry Eyes To Hypnotise Instant Eye Palette

I purchased this palette as I most recently picked up the Charlotte Tilbury Bejewelled Eyes To Hypnotise Instant Eye Palette and fell in love with it. I had also previously owned the Charlotte Tilbury Stars-In-Your-Eyes Palette and the quality was the same as the Bejewelled version, so I was expecting and hoping this Starry version would be the same. THE PACKAGING The packaging is made of metallic royal blue plastic and it has a long, thin and rectangular shape. It has a glittery silver starburst design across the front. I believe all of these particular palettes have the same starburst design, but the colour varies from palette to palette. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the rectangular eyeshadow pans arranged in threes across a mirrored gold base. The group names are printed in dark brown font under each group of three. The shades don’t really have names, but there is a plastic insert included which labels the eyeshadows as 1 Prime, 2 Enhance or 3 Smoke. There ...

ZOEVA Rose Golden Palette

I saw this palette a while ago on a beauty blog and instantly knew I had to have it. It’s not long launched here in the UK, but it’s already a cult favourite! I just adore the packaging, everything about it! It’s made out of cardboard, but it feels sturdy and durable and it is a gorgeous kind of coffee/red velvet chocolate colour. It has a beautiful rose gold design on the front, with swirls and then a centered key. It has a magnetic closing, which is quite strong because if you hold it from the top when closed and give it a shake, the two parts don’t separate (palette doesn’t open). It has a light feel in general and inside it’s all one beautiful colour and the eyeshadows are well spaced. Around each pan is a rose gold diamond border and underneath in small rose gold letters are the shade names. On the back of the palette is the usual ingredients and other information blurbs. You get ten full size eyeshadows (0.5oz) with matte, metallic or satin finishes and each has a cute...
