My Little Pariseene Box

The idea that a monthly box doesn't have to just be about products, it something that a lot of the boxes are now adopting. My Little Box orginally from france is a great idea, with each monthly box having a different theme. This month is all about Paris with the "Parisienne" box. 

All carefully tied together with gorgeous little bow this box holds more wonders than just another mascara. With a little statement about Paris "Paris needs no reason, Paris is its own reason" a nice little motivational motto.  Featuring a cute foam laptop or tablet case - you can never own too many of those in my option! a chic little notebook, with stickers and 3 Products to help you be more "Paris" 

 

The three products included in this months box are Nuxe Multipurpose Dry Oil - With winter approaching, at an oddly slow pace - anyone else confused by sun in September? This is the perfect little addition to the winter skincare regime. Laura Mercier's Foundation Primer, needs no introduction, no clever descriptive words, it just is and it is just amazing. Finishing with My Little Beauty's highlighter and who doesn't love a highlighter?! Team the primer and highlighter for the ultimate barely there AW14 look. 

My Little Box, is like a thoughful present from a friend. A Suscription, I will definitely be keeping.

Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser

Post Weekend Treat!

Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser is a little skincare treat i use once a week after a long night, hectic schedule and when i know i won't get any rest for a while, this helps rejuvenate my skin, leaving it bright, fresh and clean. 

The Cloth really is something special, sometimes i feel it is the only thing that gets my skin as clean as i like it and being able to physically see the dirt be washed away boosts that clean and pampered feeling. 

Pores feel cleansed without deep exfoliation, my skin gets sensitive so exfoliating can leave my skin red and irritated, the cloth is the perfect alternative. 

The creamy cleanser is also a slightly more luxurious choice over my usual foam cleanser. The smell is so calming, its actually relaxing to cleanse my face, I always feel after cleansing that I could do with a good nap.  

Starting the week cleansed and pampered! Have a lovely week

Night @ Meat Liquor

Meat Liquor is one my FAVE places, I love the vibe, the food and the cocktails.

I Know its not necessarily beauty related and it most certainly didnt help my "im going to get fit this summer" plan, but OH-MY-GOD it is worth it. It is my ulimate cheer me up place to go, I get to sit soak in the atmosphere, Cocktails brought to my table, thoughts drowned out by music and im surrounded by people just enjoying the moment.

Summer of Love Cocktail, Second fave to Henrietta Fizz.

I don't blame you for admiring my Dirty Chicken Burger and Cheese Fries. PERFECT Combination. 

The lack of plates is most certainly a plus, crockery is over rated in my opinion, and the burger wasn't around long so it wouldn't have spend to much time on a plate! 

Best way to start a weekend!

So, if your looking for somewhere to immerse yourself in good food, cocktails and music, this is the place to be! Be sure to get there early enough to avoid the ques!

Kira PMS Relief

 I was recently given the opportunity to review and test Kira PMS Relief. Over the counter painkillers can loose their effectiveness, and the time taken for them to kick in just doesn't suit my hectic lifestyle. I naturally jumped at the chance to test anything that would alleviate the struggle of "that time" .

The plan is to take one a day for four months and see how it goes, so far im just starting Month two and i did start the last packet during "that time" and i can safely say that i was conviently less bloated this time around, less "fussy" - there was no drama over who ate the last of the jam, why cant i get the new jam jar open and who left the jam out the fridge and other food based drama's.

Needless to say, i quite pleased at the moment and considering its Herbal its a better alternative to popping more ibroprofen than i care to count, and i don't look like an idiot hugging a hot water bottle and being stopped half way out the door attempting to take said hot water to work.

There is no taste to them, they go down easy. I find some tablets have a funny coating or a powdery taste before you swallow them, these go down without you noticing. They're not coated so im not taking in any excess sugar without realising  So far, I only have good things to say about these little things, another post will come at the end of my trial.

Perfume of the week..

I have WAY to many perfumes, out of choice, and presents and I've got a sneaky suspicion they're just appearing on my shelf. Made the conscious choice to wear just one a week and only wear my signature (Coco Chanel) on special occasions

This Week's selected scent is: 

Lancome La Vie Est Belle

The prettiest smelling perfume!

This is my second bottle since Christmas. It was bought as a present along with the moisturiser which enhances the smell so much it just lingers lightly around, and in a light breeze i'll catch a whiff of myself and think, oooo i smell pretty! 

Light, floral and slightly fruity. Not overly sweet, but just sweet enough. 

The packaging is so delicate and reflective of the smell. The braille writing on the side really is a special little touch, I don't know of any other brand to go into that much detail on the box. The white glitter sucks me in, im a sucker for the shiny things. The cute bow around the top of the bottle just reminds you of what a girly smell this is. I dislike perfumes that are to overpowering, much more a fan of those light subtle notes that hang around as you create memories. 

Only a little bottle this time! Got a big one last time and i got a bit spray happy, the littler the bottle the more i treasure it.

Mini Project

 I've always been a creative person, so, with some time off, I've decided to get my creative cap on and do a little bit of what i love (making a mess) I decided to fill a canvas with words and images that I felt described Me, My Life, My Friends, My Memories, Goals and inspirational and aspirational quotes... So here it is, the working progress.. 

 Hoping to get it finished before i have to return to work and it gets put on the back burner... What do you think?

I've Got A Onesie...

With my week off, i thought id invest in some well earned lazy lounge wear..

Here is my giraffe onesie. 

Complete with hood.

Onesie is a lifestyle choice, I'm thinking that I've already got to attached to mine, i can see an epidemic coming on... If you start to see me wondering around super markets late at night, clutching tubs of Ben & Jerry's please stop me, send me home and remind me that an onesie is not OOTD.

Cosy Love
