May and June Favourites

May and June Favourites.

I didn't have many favourites in May so I decided to wait and combine it with June's, so here's the various things I've enjoyed over the last 2 months.

General

Sony Headphones MDR_ZX100W in white.- I'm always listening to music on my phone/iPod and I usually use the small earbuds that came with my iPhone 5, but after a couple of songs the started to feel quite uncomfortable, so I decided to try so headband style headphones, and the Sony ones I bought are brilliant. they were only £10 from Amazon and I think that's a bargain. The quality is good and I couldn't hear any room noise while wearing them.

Make-up/Skincare

The Body shop Vitamin E face cream, a lovely light weight, non greasy cream, just what I need in these warm months,
I've not been wearing any make-up recently, so I've not got any favourites in that department.

Movie.

The Hunger Games - Catching Fire. I know the film has been out for quite some times now, but I have only just got round to borrowing the DVD off my sister. I read the books before the first film was released to DVD so I know the storyline, but I'm always interested to see how the film compares to the book, and in this case they have done it justice. Great film, plenty of action, cant wait for Mockingjay later in the year

Books

The Arotas Trilogy - I'm on the second book now, Reckoning. It's a story of humans and Vampires, their struggles as they try to discover prophecies and how they are all connected.  It's hard to describe it without giving too much away if you haven't read the first book. If you love vampire/mythical books, then this a trilogy you should read.

Music

Lilly Allen - Sheezus. I'm loving this album right now, No matter what mood I am in, there is always something fiiting on there. here's plenty of up beat tracks, smooth ones and more of dance song, its my go to album whether I'm in the car, shower or just doing the housework. love it!

Food/Drink

Terry's Chocolate Orange - I'm not really a chocolate fan, but after seeing them reduced in my Local Tesco I had to get one. I only ever see them out at Christmas time or if they bring out special ones for certain occasions so its not the sort of thing Id think of looking for. Mmmm, want more now.....

Robinsons Squashed - these small concentrate squeezable drinks are so handy. Its getting quite warm now so its essential to drink plenty, but water alone is boring, so I always carry one of these with me. A quick squeeze to a bottle of water turns it into a yummy squash drink. Flavour and hydration, perfect.

HAPPY SHOPPING.

June 2014 Birchbox

June 2014 Birchbox - Global Strikers.

As you can tell from the name, this is a football inspired box. 

The bag inside is Brazil's colours, which is a nice touch. All of the products are from countries that are playing in the world cup, such as America, Brazil, France, and Spain.

The Contents

Beauty Blender and Blender Cleanser Solid (£26)

The Balm Cosmetics Cheek and Lip Cream in Pie (£26 for Palette)

Caudalie Vinoperfect Day Perfecting Fluid (full size £38) and Naobay Body Radiance Lotion (Full size £14)

OPI Nail Lacquer - The Brazil Collection (full size £11.95)

I'm really impressed with this months box. The Beauty blender and solid are worth more than the cost of the box, so it was such good value for money. I'm looking forward to trying all of the items in this box and Im sure to get good use out of them. I've always wanted a beauty blender but couldn't justify spending on one so I'm so pleased to have had one now, and The Balm cheek and lip cream is beautiful, of the 6 colours, I go the one I think Id have picked if I could choose myself. 

Mini New Look haul and outfit of the day

Couple of items I picked up in New Look today and how I plan to wear them.

I've been after a check/plaid shirt for a few weeks now but have never been able to find one that fits or in the right colour. When I popped into New Look today, I found one :D it was on the sale rack and was the only one left. There were a few different ones on the full price racks but I wasn't keen on them so I was so pleased to find this one, and it was only £10. Its slightly too thick to wear on very hot days, but those are very rare in the UK, especially in Wales so I know I will get lots of use out of it. On warmer days I wont need tights, but I plan to wear it similar to how I have below, but with a better matching, plain top underneath. I've got various denim shorts that I can style with it, and I'm loving my Rocket Dog Thunder boots at the moment and this shirt will go with them very well. 

The necklace is on a long small but chunky silver chain, with matching tassel on the bottom, and has gold details, there is a coin with a rose, broach with blue stone, a small heard and a square with clear stones. It is very casual and pretty, adding that extra bit of detail to an outfit. It was from new look and half price in the sale, making it a bargain at £2.25

VicTsing Waterproof Bluetooth Shower Speaker Review

I've wanted a radio for the shower for some time as I have been taking my iPod in there with me, which means wrapping it up to protect it from steam which results in poor sound quality. I was originally going to buy a simple waterproof radio but them I came across this product. At only £10 I thought it was a bargain. It arrived after about 10 days, which I was warned about on their shipping times. I charged it up which took approx an hour, it did say it could take up to 3 but maybe it is pre charged so didn't need the full charge. The instructions are in a small leaflet but being so simple, you don't need a big manual to set it up. Connecting it to my phone via Bluetooth took seconds and now automatically connect to it when I switch on Bluetooth on my phone. I has no issues with the sucker, it attached to the tile and stayed put, I did remove it to store afterwards so I can't say how long it would stay there if left in situe. Sound quality isn't amazing but perfectly good enough for in the shower. Overall, good item, easy to use and a good price.

I bought it from Amazon, but when I went to get the link, the price has gone up to £13 - £14 but they now have various colours available, I only had blue to choose from, but there is now, green, pink, blue, black and maybe others as it seems to change. The link to buy them is HERE

May Birchbox - Harper's Bazaar

I've tried 2 beauty boxes so far, and my most recent is the Birchbox.

I love the design of this months box, and it will be used again once empty for sure.

The inside of the boxes always look great, with so informative pamflet, price card and a lovely drawstring bag to hold the products. They have got the presentation spot on. 

I have signed up for 6 months as it works out cheaper as you get a free box, and I also had a code to get a free Benafit Hoola bronzer, which I haven't received yet, hopefully it's being sent separate otherwise I'll have to get in contact with them. I'm not overly impressed with the contents of this months box, I'm sure to get use of the sample Benafit they're real mascara (full size value is £19.50), and the sample size Beauty Protector shampoo and conditioner (full size value £14 each). There is also a full size Soigné nail varnish in Persimmon which is a lovely bright orange colour (worth £11) I'm looking forward to trying the sample of Liz Earle Beauty Co cleanser, (fulle size value from £13.25) but I'll have to take care as I have very sensitive skin. There was also a small sample of Aromatherapy Associates bath and shower oil, which I will use but it's a bit too small to test properly, but then at £39 for a full size item, a small amount might got a long way.

First impressions of the look of the contents wasn't that great, but after looking at each item and reading about them and their values, the box has been worth it.
