My Little Provence Box

My Little Box this month takes us to the historical province of Provence  in southeastern France, which is the birthplace of L'Occitane. Olivier Baussan is the visionary behind the brand who sold his own essential oils at local markets in the 70s, now 40 years later L'Occitane is one of the world's best known brands with stores in over 90 countries.

 The box is illustrated by Kanako and as always contains several fashion, beauty and lifestyle items:
  • A My Little World magazine
  • A Kanako illustrated card
  • My Little Doll Magnets
  • An Embroidery Cuff 
  • Beauty products - 4 by L'Occitane and 1 by My Little Beauty

 The My Little World poster is filled with interviews, tutorials and make up ideas. I miss the old magazine a bit, as the posters are a bit confusing to read and the constant rotating to read articles is frustrating. 


My Little Doll Magnets - £6

 I am a big fan of fridge magnets and I think this is such a great idea for someone who is into mixing and matching outfits.



Embroidery Cuff - RRP £15

This is a perfect DIY accessory for summer. The golden cuff comes with two different coloured threads - light blue and dark blue. There are tutorials in the magazine but there are also more pattern ideas if you scan the QR code on the seperate card. I love making my own bracelets and My Little Box always comes up with something to keep us creative. I'll design my own bracelet soon and can't wait to match it with my summer outfits! 


Mer & Mistral Shower Gel - RRP £12 for 175 ml

 The Mer & Mistral Fresh Shower Gel is part of La Collection de Grasse. This shower gel gently cleanses the skin, leaving it freshly perfumed with the aquatic and aromatic scent of the Mer & Mistral fragrance. 

Verbena Body Lotion - RRP £20 for 250 ml

This lightweight lotion absorbs easily and comforts the skin by eliminating the "tight" or itchy feeling that skin often gets after showering. The organic extract of verbena helps to calm skin; orange, geranium and lemon tree essential oils give an uplifting aroma. This moisturiser has a fresh, citrus scent and isn't sticky or greasy - perfect for warm summer days!

 Verbena Leaf Soap - RRP £4.50 for 75 g

 This soap looks like a leaf but it smells like citrus. Crushed verbena leaves gently exfoliate the skin while the rich and creamy cleansing base leaves skin soft and smooth after washing. 

 Roses et Reines Hand and Nail Cream - RRP £14 for 75 ml

 Enriched with Shea butter and vitamin E, this light cream helps nourish, soften and protect hands while strengthening the nails. Skin is left delicately scented with the velvety, floral fragrance. It makes my hands smell like a garden full of roses! 

The Amazing Eyeshadow Crayon by My Little Beauty - RRP £9

Another wonderful product from My Little Beauty! This eyeshadow pencil has a rotating end which makes it really easy to use. It has a metallic brown shade and creamy texture which goes well with my eye colour.



So many great items this month - I am looking forward to testing out all of the products from L’Occitane and making my own bracelet! Hopefully the June box surprises me in the same way.

The Body Shop Manchester Arndale Bloggers Event

I've been blogging for almost two years now but I'd still consider myself a newbie in the blogging world. On Thursday I had the chance to go to my first bloggers event at The Body Shop in Manchester to celebrate the release of an amazing new range on the 5th of May, including new bronzing items and a couple of vitamin C products! I was wearing my butterfly bow-tie brooch to the event and styled it with a white short sleeved shirt. It was a closed door event, so it was a good opportunity to browse all of the products and explore the new ones thoroughly! The event started at 8pm and I was one of the first ones to arrive. We were welcomed with milkshakes, fruit cocktails and lemonade. I went for water - shy and modest! There was also a white chocolate fountain and strawberries we had the chance to enjoy. The event was carried out by Fiona - she is a skin expert at the Manchester store. Everyone was able to get personal skin consult...

OOTD - The sun has come out!

It has been such a long time since my last fashion post, I've been missing them so much! The second the sun came out, Tristan and I went to the canal and took a few pictures. I think it is still too early for sunglasses but a light jacket is okay when you wear a jumper underneath (Primark) and a cosy leopard print scarf (Linea Cashmink) around your neck.  My black Veromoda jacket and shoes are both from Best Secret. You'll all know by now how much I've been raving about it. I think it is an amazing place for online shopping. I love the copper detailing and the simple look on my jacket, plus it's super lightweight. My trainers are by Puma & Alexander McQueen (click here to read my previous post). I also just noticed that I don't have any good shots of my Michael Kors bag, which I absolutely adore by the way! I'm sure everybody knows how beautiful these bags are so I think this will do for now. The bag and scarf were both Christmas presents fr...

Lilla Rose Flexi Clips

  Today I want to talk a bit about my hair and my recent purchase from a company called Lilla Rose . Lilla Rose is a unique hair and jewellery accessory company from the US. They have many different hair items but I was more interested in their beautiful and well-known Flexi Clip. I got myself two of these - Autumn's Delight in size small and Festive Leaf in extra small. Before ordering I made sure of which size would fit best for my flat and thin hair.       Both of my Flexi Clips look stunning. The beaded wire is quite bendable but strong, the sliding pin is adjustable and they feel high-quality. I chose mine in a copper/rust shade but there are also silver and gold shades and so many different styles and colours available. As I recently cut my long hair short, I don't have many options with styling. I usually just wear my hair in a ponytail or a half ponytail. Autumn's Delight fits all my hair between the clip and Festive Leaf is perfect for a smal...
