My Little Box June Edition - The French Riviera Box

I wrote last month about how I was a little disappointed with the Provence box in terms of the items that were included. I decided to give My Little Box another go as I really like the concept. I used a discount code to get free p+p (I think the current one is SPRINGTIME) making the cost £11.

This month's box was a vast improvement on the Provence box!

Inside the box is the free magazine, a Kanako print, a beauty bag, a box of sunglasses and two storage bags. The products are influenced by this month's featured designer, Sarah Lanvoine.

These sunglasses are stylish and great for summer (should the sunshine last!). Includes cleaning cloth.

These storage bags are beautifully designed and sturdy as well. On the pack, it implies it can store plants and flowers, as well as make up and other bits and bobs.

We also have the Kanako print, which is cute, and the fold out magazine, which includes more information about this month's products, beauty tips and an interview with Sarah Lanvoine.

In my opinion, the beauty bag is a lot better than last month's. I felt that the products were quite small and had already been given free in another promotion by L'Occitane which was disappointing. This month are three full size products.

First is the Sea Salt Fresh Scrub by My Little Beauty (RRP £8.50). This contains Geurande sea salt cristals and Ajonc water to exfoliate the skin to get it summer ready.

I am quite excited to see a hair product this time. This is Nectar Thermique from Kerastase (RRP £19.50) which makes dull hair look more lively and softer. As someone who blowdries their hair quite a lot, this product is perfect for me. I can't wait to try this one.

The last item in this month's beauty bag is a nail polish from Loved by Sarah Lavoine (RRP £6.50). The colour is nice, and will make a good addition to my ever-growing collection of nail polishes.

Overall, the French Riviera box made me smile. If My Little Box continues to do boxes like this, or even better, I will be happy to subscribe.

Update: last month, I had an issue with the shower gel leaking in my box. I contacted My Little Box, and although it took quite a while for them to respond, they offered to send me a replacement and a new bag. Fantastic!

My Little Box May 2015: The Provence Box

I saw adverts for My Little Box on Facebook, checked out its website, and gave it a go! For £11 a month and £3.95 P + P (although I used the SPRINGTIME code to gain free postage for the first box), you receive a box containing beauty samples and products, a magazine, a print and lifestyle items too. I received my first box a few days ago, and was it worth the wait? I am not too sure. First of all, here is the box... Included is a drawstring canvas bag containing the beauty products, a box entitled "Sunny things inside" and the print, dress-up doll magnets and the magazine tied up with a ribbon. One of the beauty products, the shower gel, was already open and had leaked inside the bag, which was annoying. The beauty products are actually small samples, showcasing the best of L'Occitane, a well known and good quality brand. However, most of these products have been given away as a free gift from L'Occitane themselves. You can already get i

Travels in Bath!

A few months ago, I had the opportunity to visit Bath. I spent about a day and a half in Bath, not enough time to see everything sadly, but I had the chance to see some of the great sights! Bath is great in that it is easy to walk through. Having arrived at the train station, the first stop was the Sally Lunn Museum. Having done my research on the internet, the Sally Lunn bun is very famous in Bath. Every tourist is advised to try one! Five minutes we arrived - the building consists of three levels of dining areas, and there is a museum and gift shop on the lower level. The building itself is quite historic and retains much of its quaint charm. Upon entering, the place is quite busy - we manage to sneak a table in the corner by the window. What is said to be unique about the bun is that it is great tasting as a savoury or sweet dish. Following that, we ordered the smoked salmon bun and the dulce con leche bun. A cup of the Sally Lunn blend loose leaf tea Dulce con leche -

Pokemon Sun

I started playing Pokemon Sun last month and at first, I thought it wouldn’t be as good as Omega Ruby, which I throughly enjoyed. However, I am really enjoying it! As you progress, the story is so interesting and I like how the trials are so challenging. I found Kiawe and Mallow’s trial particularly tough! At the minute, I am about to take on the new Pokemon league (?). I also found a shiny Absol, which was so difficult to catch. A normal Absol was hard to catch in the first place and it took a great deal of Ultra Balls to catch her!
