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!

Pastel Passion

Pastels by lauren290591

 I love the pastel trend, it's perfect for spring.

 I wish I could pull pastel shades off but being very pale they always make me look washed out. I like how pastel colours can give outfits a vintage kind of vibe but I always feel awkward wearing dresses in the day time for some reason and I don't think vintage outfits suit me although I do love vintage fashion.

 Even though I'm wary of pastels I think I'll at least be wearing some pastel accessories and makeup when the sun comes out to play! What's your favourite pastel item at the moment?

Need Christmas Outfit Ideas?

 Christmas is all about the glitz and glam and I hopefully have some inspiring outfit ideas for you!

 Why not vamp up the traditional gold sparkly Christmas dress with a cropped leather jacket and tough accessories? Wear with embellished heeled boots or if you're really daring, combat boots.

  

 Mix sequins and sparkle with other textures like leather and faux fur. Jazz up your LBD with an eye-catching clutch. Wear your favourite Christmas jumper with statement heels to a party or bejeweled flats if you want to keep things more casual.

 Most importantly, don't forget the Christmas spirit! Wear gift wrap inspired accessories/ make your own, or add novelty antlers, a Santa hat or bows to any outfit for an instant Christmas vibe.

Cute Bow Nail Tutorial

 These nails are really easy to do, even if you make a mess (like I did) you can always clean your nails up later so don't worry if you're a nail art beginner!

 I used: Gold nail polish, Black nail polish, a Top Coat or Clear nail polish, and a cocktail stick.

1) Paint your nails Gold or any pale/ shimmer shade of polish.

2) Using the cocktail stick in your Black nail polish, add a small line in the center of your nail for the bow's center knot.

3) Leave a small gap and draw a line that's parallel either side of your center line.

4) Draw diagonal lines from the ends of these two lines to create your bow shape.

5) Fill in the outline of your bow shape with your Black or dark polish.

6) When your bow shape is dry, use the other end of your cocktail stick in the Gold nail polish and add the detail creases in the bow by drawing two short lines originating from the center of the bow.

7) To make your design last longer add a top coat of clear nail polish.

 You can use nail polish remover to tidy up your nails if things get messy or wait for the polish to dry and come off the surrounding skin naturally. You could also try pale coloured bows on a darker polish!
