BIG BOLD FLORAL !

 

One of my favorite types of pattern for upholstery, wall paper, curtains, etc is a big bold bright floral pattern ! this can be added to a room in a small way using cushions or a new duvet set or in a more permanent way buy investing in a beautifully made pair of curtains or some stunning wall paper.This season is especially good for finding big bold and bright floral prints as they lend themselves so well to summer and spring and add that bright summer feeling to your room !

These are a few examples of interiors that have used bold floral designs to their advantage.

These are some examples or amazing wall paper from designer guild :

MATTIAZZO - DAMSON -  PDG642/01

AMRAPALI - PEONY - P578/01

SHANGHAI GARDEN - FUCHSIA - PDG649/02

P.S sorry for the absence !I have been super focused on my health and fitness goals for the last few weeks, and with that and work i have had more on my plate than before ! i really miss the blog though so we are back !

My favorite mascaras - Part 2 - Benefit - Roller Lash

This is the second post in my favorite mascara reviews

My favorite mascaras

Lancome - Grandiose mascara - £24.50

Benefit - Roller lash -  £19.50 

Maybelline - Lash sensational - £5.99

Benefit - Roller lash -  £19.50 

Benefit roller lash is the second most expensive in the test, the formula of this mascara feels quite thin and it really does not clump when your putting it on, it gives a really natural look and feels light on the eyelashes. The brush is rubber again and covered in a lot of tiny bristles, this mascara is quite black but i think the thinner formula leaves lashes looking quite natural and separated this is a good daytime mascara, this was a samples of the mascara but i think i would purchase it again at the full price .

My favorite mascaras - Part 1 - Lancome - Grandiose mascara

This post is going to be the first of four on my three favorite mascaras, the forth post is going to be comparing them to see if the most expensive is worth the money.

Im going to start with the most expensive which is the Grandiose mascara from Lancome.

My favorite mascaras

Lancome - Grandiose mascara - £24.50

Benefit - Roller lash -  £19.50 

Maybelline - Lash sensational - £5.99

 Lancome Grandoise mascara: £24.50

The Grandiose mascara by Lancome is the most expensive mascara out of the three it is beautifully packaged with an rose in the top of the lid, the formula of the mascara is really thick, the brush is rubber and covered with different size bristles all over it, I feel like this mascara really does make your lashes look fuller, it is such a true black which i think really helps ! It also lengthens and is quite easy to build up to create a more dramatic look this is the reason that this mascara has been my go to mascara since Christmas and even though it is quite pricey i would defiantly still repurchase it.

 

Febuarys My Little Box !!

Hello ! This post is going to be about This months Box from the subscription box service My Little Box this months theme was, a my little Frenchie box !  this theme is in relation to the boxes origins being french, and has been inspired by the french icon Ines de La Fressange who was a super model in the 80's and inspired designers such as Karl Lagerfed.

Ps. just to let you know this months Box was really a standout box !!

The first item out of the box this month was this months bag of beauty products ! This months box contained four full size beauty products which is amazing to see and they are also all really useful products ! 

Complexion Enhancer - Glowing Skin - £9.50

This is a skin enhancer and has Apricot Kernel oil in, which they say will bring your skin back to life I think this is going to be a great product to use in the mornings when i just need something to brighten up my skin before work 

Terrybly Khol Pencil - £23 - Terry

This Khol Pencil is very soft and an amazing black with gold glitter running through it! What is really special about the Khol Pencil by Terry is that is is waterproof ! Which living in Wales is something quite handy really !  

DHC Blotting Paper - £4.00 for 100 sheets

This is another full size product from My Little Box this month, these are produced by Japans No 1 direct skincare company DHC and are basically just a blotting paper which is nice and I will be able to use these on a daily basis as they are easy to throw in a bag and also affordable enough to be able to purchase again ! 

Super Liner Brow Artists Plumper By L'Oreal Paris - £5.99

I was actually really excited to see this in the box even though this is by L'Oreal and i could easily go out and buy, this is something iv been looking to purchase for a while now as i feel i have some what wild eyebrows and i am hoping this will tame them ! 

The second item out of this months box was this months Lifestyle item !

Pot of messages - £6.50

this is such a cute little touch and is full of useful tips and quotes there are 28 so one for every day this month ! 

The next item was this months fashion item 

 Smartphone in PU and canvas - £16

This was a really exciting item in the box, it is a beautifully made phone case by My little box, it is such lovely item and it fits my iphone 5c really well, also the ribbon pull is a really nice touch !

I think this months box is my personal favorite out of the past three months it was a really lovely selection of items and as always a really nice range as well !  

Thank you all again for reading i have tried a slightly different format for this review today  hopefully you guys like it all the same !

January's My Little Box

Today I am going to do a small review on the January box from My Little Box this months theme was My little Energy Box !

Just like decembers box i was not disappointed with January's, the standard was just as high !  

As with last months all of the beauty products were contained in a little cotton bag with My Little Box logo on ;

1.Nails inc, Shade: Tate Red, £11
2.Talika's Photo Hydra Day, £43.50 for 50ml
3.My Little Beauty's Energizing mist: £7.50 for 75ml

 This month the life style piece was a small calendar it has such cute illustrations and quotes as well ! It is going to look great on the pin board next to my desk !

The final piece in the box was a gym bag ! the bag its self is fairly light weight but it is also waterproof which will always come in handy !

After two boxes I still think this box is the best subscription box around !

P.S
I would love to hear you guys feedback on the few posts I have done so far !

Decembers My Little Box

Yesterday some exciting things came in the post !

  I received two boxes from My Little Box .The first one was December's and the second was January's. 

Today I am going to do a small review on the December box.

The first thing I noticed about the My Little Box was how cute the outside of the box was and how much detail had been put into it. Decembers box was a collaboration between My Little Box and Fleur De Force, who as it happens is one of my favourite Youtube personalities so this had given me high hopes for the box from the outset

 

 

  

When I had opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised by what I was presented with. It was all beautifully packaged and it really looks like a lot of effort has gone into the design and presentation which I was impressed with.

I also liked how the beauty items were all collected together in a cute little bag!

Included in the bag was;

1.My Little Beauty lipstick, Shade: Rouge a Levre Plumetis,£15

2.Wild Cow Invigorating Body Lotion 100ml, £18 

3.L'Occitane's Creme Precieuse Immortelle 50ml, £45

  

As well as the beauty items, a selection of items for wrapping presents were included.

 I thought this was a really nice touch and was pleased that they could be used all year round and only a few of the tags and masking tape were Christmas themed

Finally, in the box was a really cute black and gold knitted head band which really feels like a high quality piece.

Overall, I feel the box was full of well thought-out items, I also really like the mix of fashion, lifestyle and beauty! 

  I really felt that the box was worth more than the £11 a month plus £3.95 postage that you would pay for it,This would be my first subscription box and I did do quite a bit of research before subscribing to My Little Box and I feel it is the subscription box that you get a little bit for your money!

I would definitely recommend this to my friends, family and you guys !
