STRICTLYSAL

This box design has got to be favourite by far! The pinky purples and Rose gold embossed details are so pretty and right up my alley! This box is a collab with Millie Mackintosh who is a Style Icon and beauty inspiration and was the perfect match for the 'Never Ending Summer' inspired box. This July Birchbox also teamed up with Love of Colour to collaborate the special Bohemian Rose Ultra Gloss Lip pencil which was picked and named by Millie. Every subscriber received this Lip pencil. My items all seems to be perfectly coordinated to match the box theme and is super cute with the pinks, purples and greys!

So I didn't think I would have any empties for a while, but since May I've had some beauty products finish up really quickly. These are products that I more or less have used everyday and they are definitely worth a mention. If anything this bunch of empties are products I've used for years on a daily basis and will mostly remain to be for a long time. Seventeen Blush I have been using the shade of Damson Wine from Seventeen for years and years! Its inexpensive and this is one of 7 shades that Seventeen do. Its long lasting and pigmented. Its a natural pink shade and is my everyday blush. Ive got through so many of these and at £2.99 per blush, whose to complain?! Already re purchased! K

BRE630/00 Philips Satinelle Advance Wet and Dry Epilator The wet summer is finally here in London and although its been raining with lots of overcasts, its been humid as ever. This means the Tshirts and cami's can come out. I havn't really been bothered with the hairy arms until now as it hasnt been weather appropriate to get them out, but its definitely the time now! I recent purchased my third epilator, from Boots. I didn't want to spend a fortune as I dont have the need to remove hair that frequently and I would only really use the epilator for my arms. I like to wax everywhere else! However on the odd occasion I do use the epilator on other parts of the body. I do not shave my arms, leg

The weather has been amazing this weekend and the best way to end it was with a fruity pavlova on sunday evening in the garden! I love a good pavlova, especially the marshmallowy gooeyness on the inside. Its taken me a few years to perfect this recipe and also learning bits and bobs of the science related bits on the way! Its still not super perfect but its good enough to share. Its super easy and fool proof if you follow the recipe. Berry Pavlova Recipe 4 Egg whites ( fresh eggs) 225g sugar 3tsp cornflour 1tsp white vinegar Double Cream- about 500ml Mixed berry fruit. Some for the coulis and extra to decorate.

I've been so indecisive over purchasing the lip kits for a while, but I finally gave in a couple of weeks ago and decided to purchase ONLY if I was able to get a hold of 3 lip kits or more on the restock date. I wasn't going to go mad and buy the whole collection or any shades that would possibly not look good on me. I had to act quick and did manage to get 3 out of the 4 shades I wanted. I purchased PosieK, KourtK and 22. PosieK: My initial thought was that this shade looks very similar to Mac's Soar lip liner. Soar lip liner is my everyday go to liner, so I wasn't that gutted that I now had a similar shade of lipstick too. Its a dusty mauve pink shade, which I find easy to wear on an ever

Welcome to part 2 of My Money Saving Tips post. I hope you enjoyed and found the beauty post to be beneficial. After beauty comes fashion for most people and although I don't have many tips, some of the below tips and information I find can be quite useful. Wish Lists If your anything like me, you probably buy every item you see and love, which isn't healthy on the wallet. My sister taught me to create a wish lists or stalk lists, as she likes to call it. This will combine all the bits and bobs you like and give you time to think about it, rather than just impulse buying. It also lets you think about how you could pair your wish list items with other items that you already have in your ward
