Braintree Clothing Summer Outfit

I know I'm mainly a beauty blogger, but with the amazing summer heat we are having (and the fact I am about to book a holiday, at last!) I just had to share with you some items from Braintree Clothing!

I've put together a collage of my favourite items from their website and have called my collection: Golden Summer Days!

I picked a lovely tunic for daytime and a throw for if it gets chilly on these summer evenings, plus a beautiful bag and gorgeous golden accessories!

Here's a closer look at the items I chose:

The 'Solstice Tunic' is gorgeous and I think it would make a great daytime summer dress, but would also dress up well for an evening out and make the transition into autumn too. I love it!
The 'Holly Brook Throw' comes in 3 colour choices, is made of Hemp and Cotton and is perfect for an extra layer when it gets chilly or breezy!
The 'Frilly Carry All' bag is made from 55% Hemp and 45% Cotton and comes in 6 colours!

The 'Shikali Cuff' is made from recycled brass and hand-beaten!

The 'Bibaka Bangle' is a trio of handmade bangles which are linked with a brass ringlet and logo.

The 'Valentines Bracelet' features a cotton cord bracelet and hand cast brass heart.

I'd wear the bangle and bracelet for daytime and add the lovely cuff for evenings!

Those are my picks for a summer outfit! I think the items I chose could make both a daytime and evening look. I love the tunic so much and the accessories are gorgeous too!

Glossybox June 2013 review!

Here is the June Glossybox! The theme is: Summer Looks!

So first up is a Monu Hydrating moisturiser. I haven't used it yet, as I'm trying one from my June Birchbox haha, but think this may be a little rich for me, as my skin is combination. We shall see!

Then we have a tiny cute little Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse OR shimmering dry oil.
A combination of plant oils and Vitamin E, this promises soft skin and can be used anywhere - body, nails, hair etc. Would be good for nights out on holidays I think!

Next is a lip balm by Figs and Rouge. I got coco rose, which is a nice pastel pink colour with glitter shot through. Once on the lips, it is a nice shimmery pale pink, which I like.

Then we have a full size MeMeMe nail varnish in 'Pensive', a lovely summery duck egg blue-ish colour.
I'm loving this shade!

Lastly, a Helen E eye shimmer in a dusky pink colour.
This is very shimmery, good for a night out I think, but I'm not over fond of the shade.

So there it is, Glossybox for June! I'm 50/50 on this one. While I love the MeMeMe nail colour and like the lip balm and Nuxe - I would have liked the Gosh mascara and full size conditioner in other box variants more!

What did you think? Did you get the June box? Like your contents - or are you coveting other items?!

Glossybox May 2013 review!

My post for May's Glossybox might be late, but, boy, is it worth waiting for!

Let's get right into it!...........

May was Glossybox's 2nd Birthday - and the packaging was great!

So, first up is Caudalie Divine Oil. This is a multi-purpose oil that you can use on face, body, hair, nails and add to baths. It has grape, hibiscus, sesame and argan oils in the ingredients and is meant to be super-hydrating.
I haven't used the oil yet, but will most likely use it on my body and will have a go at adding it to a bath!
This came in a 15ml size and is worth £4.05

Next is a Nails Inc polish in shade 'portobello'. I LOVE this shade! It's an amazing neon orange and looks so much better in real life than in the photos!

The neon brightness really pops in real life, it looks a little dark here. Great for holidays - I'm loving this shade!
The size is 4ml and worth about £4.

Review for L'Oreal 15 Second Miracle Cleansing Oil

My daily cleansing routine has changed! A lot! All thanks to this wonderful bottle of oil from L'Oreal!

I was given a choice of trying this oil or the Micellar Water and as I had previously tried DHC cleansing oil and enjoyed the whole 'oil' way of cleansing, I was super happy to give this one a go!

To be honest, I do find removing my make-up and cleansing at the end of the day a bit of a chore! I definitely don't look forward to it - and I am always changing products to try and find that one that would make me happy to cleanse!

Lancome counter visit and Purchases!

I visited the Lancome counter in Selfridges with a friend recently and we had a make-up tutorial on how to create the perfect Smokey Eye, with the lovely Lydia!

I also snapped a few photos of products that caught my eye and of course, what I purchased!

Here we go!......

We chose our eye colour from the new Hypnose Eye Palette collection. There are 12 colour palettes to choose from (9 shown here).
They are also broken up into various catagories - the 'Doll', 'Star' and 'Drama' palettes.

The Doll palettes contain the 'Fresh & Natural' colours which are; Reflet d'Amethyste, Menthe a l'O, Lumiere d'Azur and Fraicheur Rosee.

The Star palettes contain the 'Chic & Elegant' colours which are; Kaki Chic, Terre d'lvoire, Gris Fume and Brun Adore.

Glossybox April 2013 review!

It's time for the April Glossybox review!
The theme for this month is Spring Fever, with a limited edition box in collaboration with Pearl Lowe.

Let's take a look.......

First up is a body butter by Nip+Fab in Mango Smoothie. This smells lovely and is for dry skin, which is perfect for me, so I'm happy about this. The sample is worth £2.50.

Next is a blusher by Sleek. The shade I received is Pixie Pink and is a hot neon shade of pink.

Birchbox April 2013 Review!

It's time for the April Birchbox review!

This month the theme is 'In Bloom'- coming out of winter and into better and brighter things!

Here we go!

First up we have a soap by La Societe Parisienne De Savons. I got the scent Thridace

The box says that Thridace is "A gourmet composition that arouses your senses, awakening the sweet distant memories of childhood, it's enchanting fragrance will take you on an extraordinary aromatic journey."

To me, Thridace smells like typical old soap! A bit 'granny's bathroom'! It also has a slight marzipan like smell to it.
Unfortunately, I don't like the smell! Not a marzipan fan - but I love the packaging! It's really eye-catching.

I haven't unwrapped the soap to smell it more because I might be able to use it for something, it's a shame the scent isn't for me, as it's a really cute little item.
