My Little Box - Gypset Edition August

This is the last of My Little Box reviews for the moment as I am taking a break from my subscription. This month’s theme is gypset; all things bohemian and free.

The first item is this small bucket bag, something which is currently trending, designed by Antik Batik.

Next are some hair ties which double up as bracelets.

Also included are the fold out magazine and the Kanako illustrated print.

Inside the beauty bag, we have some bronzing powder from the My Little Beauty range…

…and the Colour Hybrid from So Susan. This can be used to bring colour to your cheeks or bringing a perfect pout for your lips.

The final item is this body milk form Korres. Keeping the skin moisturised and healthy through its combination of almond oil, aloe vera and shea butter, its fragrance of pear and lemon is lovely and light – perfect for the summer!

I have mixed feelings about this month’s box. I quite like the variety of the items in the beauty bag, but I feel a little disappointed with the lifestyle items. This month, only two items were included – and one of them was hair ties! For the price of the subscription, this seems like poor value. I am not enamoured with the bag either – the print isn’t very appealing and the bag is made of a very thin material. It’s a shame considering how great the last few boxes are. Looking at reviews online, many subscribers are unhappy with the magazine format, preferring the glossy magazine style to the foldout style. It is puzzling that although many people have expressed this view, My Little Box have not taken steps to change this (the French version use the glossy magazine style).

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!
