H&M Jewllery

This little selection of goodies arrived this morn, it did feel like it took forever to arrive!

The reason for the order was the starfish ring.  I had seen it in a magazine or another blog and fell in love with it, couldn't get it in the shop so went online to see if it was there.

I was only planning on getting the ring but when I went to H&M's website and looked their delivery cost which is £3.90.  Now I felt this was a bit much for a £1.99 ring so I had to get a couple of more things to justify the cost.  The London, Paris, New York bracelets are a set and I thought they were cute.  The other ones are also a set and I got them to wear with they sporty/rubber watches that I wear alot.

I'm very happy with my order and the starfish ring is so cute.


April's Joliebox

This is the first box that I have recieved from Jolie box.  I had signed up for the Carmine box but as I'm sure you are all aware they joined forces with Glossy box and are no more, which I was disappointed about.  So I made the decision to sign up for Jolie box and Glossy box, I was always intending to sign up for two.

I have to say I'm very impressed with my first box, from the way it looks to the contents.

I really like the fact that it is black, and that the contents are in a drawstring bag that can be reused.  You also get a Joliemag, which I really enjoyed reading and think that it is a nice touch.

This box was aimed at changing of the seasons.

Balance Me, Cleanse and smooth face balm:  I have a shower gel from Balance Me and have always wanted to try more from this brand.  This is £20 full size (125ml), on their website it is £4 for the 15ml size that is in the box. On their website it does say to remove it using a muslin cloth, I have a few of these so that is not a problem.  I am looking forwaed to trying this having recently gotten into more gel/balm consistency cleansers.

Tropic Skincare, Skin Revive: This happens to be from one of the contestants from last years Apprentice.  The website says that it is good for all skin types except very oily. For 30mls it is £15.95.  It smells nice, so am interested to see what it is like.

Pure Fiji, Exotic bath and body oil: This smells amazing!! I've got the coconut one, it comes in another 9 flavours.  This can be used as a bath oil, hair and scalp oil, massage oil or as a daily moisturiser.  I love body oils, and hope this will be good.  It is £24.50 for 235mls.

Bellapierre, Black mascara:  This is a long lasting mascara, which creates thicker and fuller lashes.  I havent tried it yet so can't comment.  This was the only full size product in the box and it is £19.99.

KMS California, Freeshape Hot Flex Spray: This is a protective heat styling spray that lasts until you next wash your hair.  I love a heat protector spray, and this looks good.  On Cheapsmells this is £12.70, which is a bit more expensive than I'd normally pay but if its good then I may be tempted.

I also got an added product of the Jane Iredale just kissed lip and cheek stain.  This was in march's box.  This reacts to your own chemistry, so is different on everyone.  I liked this addition of an extra product.

Overall I'm very pleased with the box, I feel like it is well suited to me as it is all things that I would use and I'm looking forward to next months box.
