My Little Parisienne Box UK Review (September 2014)

I just subscribed and was very impressed with the first UK My Little Box which arrived on my doorstep today! It was only £11 plus £3.95 P&P and you would pay around that just for the sample of the Laura Mercier Primer I received. 

You can visit their website and subscribe here!

Contents included:

A 30ml Laura Mercier Foundation Primer

A 10ml Nuxe Multi Purpose Dry Oil (face, body, hair)

A My Little Beauty Stylo Lumière (highlighter)

A Cute Drawstring Bag

A Parisienne Girl Illustrated Laptop Sleeve

A Notebook (with blank pages)

A Page of Adorable Paris Themed Stickers

An Illustrated Piece of Card (I’m going to frame mine)

and An Illustrated Box to keep things in.

I love anything to do with Paris, I’m so glad I found out about them and can’t wait for my next box!

An Evening with Elle

 I recently attended the Evening with Elle event held in the Birmingham River Island, and as I was one of the first to RSVP I also got a goody bag on arrival! I thought I would share with you what I was given. As well as receiving a copy of Elle magazine I got:

Canvas Bag.

Cozy Bobble Hat.

Black Wayfarer Style Sunnies.

Beauty Products: Models Own & Dermalogica.

 Here's a slightly better photo of the nail polish colour:

Autumnal Shade.

 Have you been anywhere exciting recently or are you about to? Let me know what you've been buying over autumn too.

The Best Eye Shadow Palette

 After much use, I've decided that the Urban Decay Naked palette is my favourite collection of eye shadows. It's versatile, I've used it on nights out and for a casual, day time look.

 The range of colours suit everyone and there's a variety of shimmer, glitter and matte shades. When I purchased the palette I also received an eye shadow primer potion!

 Here's the inside of the palette and a closer look at the eye shadows:

 My favourite every day colours are the matte shade Buck with Virgin on the inner corners as a highlighter to open up the eyes. This is what the shades look like on my pale skin tone to give you an idea of the textures and intensity of the eye shadows:

 The Naked palette is portable enough to carry around in your bag, allowing you to touch up through the day or transform your look from day to night. The new matte shades are also useful for filling in your eyebrows as they contain no shimmer or glitter unlike most of the other Urban Decay eye shadows.
 Overall, I think the palette containing 12 shades is good value for money, which explains why it's usually sold out. It's currently £35 from House of Fraser but I got mine in the sale; the single eye shadows cost £13-£15!

What to buy now

 Yesterday I passed my driving test first time! During the days before my test I decided to go shopping to relieve some stress without spending too much money.

 I got some autumnal, burgundy coloured jeans from Topshop which cost £40 (without including any discounts) and some gold studded, black boots from Primark for only £15. Bargain.

 Recently I ran out of liquid eyeliner so I went to Boots and there was a 3 for 2 offer across selected ranges, and my Bourjois Liner Feutre was included so of course I had to buy 2 other items.

 For a while I've wanted to try Maybelline's Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner; I finally gave in after Boots seduced me with their offer and got it in the shade 01 Intense Black.

 The other product I chose was a Kate Moss lipstick from Rimmel, she's launched this collection to celebrate 10 years as a Rimmel London Spokesmodel. I decided on shade number 12 which I think is a duller, classic red with a very slight hint of coral.

 As we know, Primark is always good when shopping on a budget but if you're in need of some new make up then take advantage of the 3 for 2 offer at Boots while it lasts!
