Blogger Beauty Box review!

By -
I was really excited when I saw that the lovely Vix was starting up a new "box", a beauty box. I see people getting "boxes" all of the time- GlossyBox, Graze Box, Kawaii Box...there is literally so many boxes! I've always wanted to try one but never really been able to afford one, or found them to be worth the cost.

Oh Blogger Beauty Box, what a delightful discovery you were. For just  £10, with no additional postage costs, you are sent not one, not two, but five full size beauty products, all beautifully packaged and ready to use. When I initially signed up for the box, I thought the products would be sample sized, so when I found out they would be full sized, I couldn't believe what a bargain I was getting- especially when the individual costs of the products total to a lot more than £10!



The first box arrived at my house on June 30th, earlier than expected (brownie points for you) and wrapped wonderfully, in brown paper packaging with the logo on a sticker label. The box itself has a larger sticker with the beautiful logo on the front, and when you opened it a divine smell floated out, before I had even unwrapped anything! Everything was wrapped up in pretty pink tissue paper too, so it all looked very exciting!



As well as the five products, there were leaflets and pamphlets about the different brands, so you could really read about the products/where they came from/the brands and so on, which was really useful! 

My five products from Box 1 were: 
  • A face mask (which I forgot to photograph, sorry!)
  • Lipgloss
  • Lipstick
  • Mascara
  • Moisturiser 

The Lipgloss.




I have never heard of Dusty Girls, so was not entirely too sure about what to expect from the product. It came in very cute cardboard packaging (which is recyclable!) and really does reflect it's name, "Sun Shower", coming out in a pastel, peachy-orange colour which is great for a summer make up look! It doesn't feel too sticky either, I found, which pleased me too. 

The Lipstick.



I have always read reviews about W7 make-up so was pleased to receive this W7 "Fluorescent Kiss" lipstick. Being a huge pink addict, I was also very happy with the colour! The lipstick is great, it applies very smoothly and the colour lasts too- I wish I had purchased a W7 lipstick before! I'm definitely going to be purchasing more from this brand, and hopefully there'll be more treats from them in future boxes!

The Mascara.



After never trying W7 products before, you can only imagine my excitement when I saw not one but two products in the box! I was really pleased to receive a new mascara, as mine is close to running out now. I was especially pleased with the thicker brush, as I prefer these to thinner mascara brushes! I found the mascara coated my eyelashes evenly with just a few strokes and made my eyelashes look bold and dark, which is just perfect for me! I was over the moon with this product!

The Moisturiser.


MooGoo was another brand I had never heard of, but I really wish I had done! Not only is the packaging super cute, and there's a use of cow related puns ("Cover-Up, Buttercup"), but the actual product smells so divine, and I feel this may be why my box smelt so good! The cream comes out quite thickly, so you only need a small amount for one area of skin, but it rubs in very easily and leaves my skin feeling soft and smelling delicious! The tube is so large, I know it's going to last me a while too, which is a massive bonus!

Overall, I am more than impressed with this box, and I am so glad I signed up! It's definitely £10 well spent, and you most definitely get your money's worth out of it! I can not wait for the next box, I have no doubt it will be as fabulous as this one! Thank you Vix for setting this lovely idea up- go you!

Children With Cancer UK Fashion Show!

Friday 27th February 2015 saw the grand event that was a fashion show in London for the fabulous charity, Children with Cancer UK. I was invited to the event about 2 weeks ago as a blogger, to cover the event and raise awareness of the charity. I was honored to have been asked to do so, as the charity is really just so important, as well as super excited to cover a fashion show, as this was something I had never done before! The night was a huge success, and the display of talent was extremely impressive- from the designers work, to the various acts performing in between! The venue was fairly glamorous, based at The Building Centre in London, and upon entry we received glasses of wine, nibbles and goody bags, as well as having the opportunity to mingle with some of the other guests before the show began. When it was time for the show to start, I went to try and seat myself- only to find that because I was "press", I needed to get myself a press pass (which I was thri

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek - Body Image and Mental Health

By -
Image
This week (13th - 20th May 2019) is Mental Health Awareness Week. This year, the theme is Body Image - how we think and feel about our bodies.  Those of you who have followed me for some time will know that for about two years now, if not more, I have been an advocate for body positivity and self love. More recently, you may have seen me featured in a story in The Metro , talking about a body shaming incident I experienced on holiday and how I dealt with it.  There's absolutely no denying that there is a direct correlation between body image and our mental health. I know that personally, when I'm experiencing a "bad body day" and don't feel very positively about my body, for whatever reason, my mental health goes down the drain too. Yet when we feel good about our bodies, this can be reflected in our mental health too.  When I experienced body shaming in my bikini on holiday, I felt the lowest I had in a while. I believed the words I'd heard -

Eating Disorders- the Blunt Truth.

WARNING:  The following content is sensitive and me be triggering to those suffering from, recovering from or who have recovered from eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia and other health problems such as depression. As I sit down in my local pub ready to tuck into my generous portion of gammon and chips, I feel a prickle on the back of my neck- that all to familiar feeling of knowing that someone is staring at you. As I whip my head around the dining area, my eyes fall on the slender figure of a girl, probably around my age, maybe a few years younger, looking at me with disgust in her eyes- disgust clearly at the way I look and what I'm eating. I feel fat, bulky, uncomfortable and I let my glance fall to her own plate, noticing she has a salad, mostly untouched. She sips constantly at her water like it's the only thing keeping her alive. It probably is. It is a sad but true statistic that over half of teenage girls and one third of teenage boys use unhealthy wei
