Hey loveliess, I hope you’re all warm and well!
With the gorgeous sunny weather we’ve been having in the UK lately, it’s really inspired me to create some summery looks. When looking for palettes to use, I couldn’t help buying the Tropical Paradise palette. Something about the colour scheme screamed out to me. The shade range gives me all kinds of sunshine vibes. Now that I have used this palette a good few times, I thought I’d pop all my thoughts in a post for ya. If you want my honest review and some swatches of the Tropical Paradise palette, you’re in the right place.
Pink Parcel – A monthly subscription for your period
Hey lovelies, I hope you’re all warm and well!
After the success of period hacks post, I thought I’d bring you a little something extra to brighten up that time of the month. Pink parcel is a monthly subscription box, designed for us girls to keep us prepared and cheer us up. The box is packed with sanitary products and a few cheeky goodies to help you through! I was kindly gifted the March box to review and share with you guys. They’ve also given me a discount code for you to use to save 20% on your first pink parcel box. Thank me later.
What’s inside?
The box comes beautifully packaged and is very discreet. Inside is divided into 4 different sections, a section for different times of day. Also included is a little leaflet about all the products in your box. I chose to have a selection of tampons and pads, because I like to use different products depending on my flow, and the level of protection I need. You can decided if you want both, or just one. That’s the beauty of pink parcel, its tailored to you.
“For now” a cute little pink pouch to take on the go with you. Big enough to store a good few sanitary products but small enough to fit in most bags. I take this everywhere with me now, just in case mother nature comes calling unexpectedly.
“For later” a bigger stash of products to use at home, or refill your pouch.
The “For night time” box has enough pads to last the nights during your period, keeping you comfortable and protected while you sleep.
“For you” A little box of goodness is included each month to perk up your mood. I adore this concept of the box. I think it’s what makes pink parcel stand out against the rest. Who doesn’t want a treat when they’re feeling bloated and sore?
Above is all the lovely goodies that I got in my “For you” box.
Healthy coconut snacks to keep my energy up. A tasty rose based tea to help with sweet cravings and elevate pains. Coffee based face scrub so my skin stays flake free when I need it most. A facial oil from Dr Botanicals that’s packed with goodness to help rejuvenate the dullest complexion. Refreshing face mist for on the go, and a gorgeous ruby red lip crayon from Jelly pong pong! Aren’t I lucky?
How do I get one?
Ordering your pink parcel is so quick and easy! Head over to the website and choose your preferred products. Fill out a form with all your details and wait for the postman to arrive with your box. There’s no contract and you can cancel at any time (but why would you wanna do that?) There’s a few payment plans to choose from that can save you some money if you subscribe , but monthly boxes start from £12.99 a month which is amazing, considering each box has over the value of £40 inside!
If you want a very generous 20% off your first box, enter code PP20 at check out and save that coin!
Overall, I absolutely love the concept of this box. There’s a great selection of products and essentials for your time of the month that will keep you covered. I think the price point is very affordable for the contents, and I’m excited for my next box to come. I’d 100% recommend this to anyone looking to treat themselves every once in a while, and at the same time getting a stash of lady products.

Benefit badgal bang review
Hey lovelies, hope you’re all warm and well!
Unless you’ve been living under a rock recently, you won’t have missed the most recent product launch from benefit cosmetics. There was a lot of speculation before the launch on what it could be and I’d say it’s been the one of the most anticipated launches in the beauty community of recent. I am of course talking about the badgal bang mascara! The product that claims to be “out of this world” got everyone talking and I thought it was only right I got my mitts on one and done a badgal bang mascara review for you all. Let’s see if all the hype is worth it.
Packaging:
I just want to take a second to touch upon the packaging. Badgal bang comes in a soft matte black tube. The top of the wand is has some cute studded detail and the bold pink text really stands out against the black. I think the packaging reflects the “out of this world” phrase well and Benefit have done a great job on the packaging.
The claims:
Smudge proof & water resistant mascara with 36 hour wear. The brand boasts the a super lightweight formula using aero-particals (one of the lightest known materials) and a specially designed wand that coats lashes evenly from root to tip. The mascara is the blackest of black and creates dramatic length and volume to lashes.
Quite a lot of bold claims there, but are they all true?
Application and removal:
I’m going to chuck this out there now, this mascara is difficult to use a first. The formula is so intense, I felt it kind of overwhelmed my lashes. I applied to much and was hard to get it right without serious clumping. After more uses, it gets easier and now I’m in love. Using the wand from the root of my lashes to the tip, I wiggle the super flexible brush up and my lashes are instantly lifted, thick and full. I love a full lash look and that’s what I get from this mascara as well as extreme length. I did try to layer the mascara but ended up with super clumpy spider lashes and wasn’t really feeling it.
When it comes to removing the mascara, I had some difficulties. The formula is so long lasting it makes getting off. After a lot of makeup remover and cotton pads, it come off but I’m yet to find something that get’s it off easier.
Badgal bang, worth the hype?
As mentioned above, I do really love this mascara now I know how to use it effectively. It gives me exactly what I need from a mascara, length, volume and drama. The packaging is stunning and I think the hype is to be believed. It’s a little on the pricey side for a mascara, but I think you get what you pay for. I’d recommend this to anyone who’s thinking of purchasing it, just make sure you practice with it before making your mind up.

Rimmel Holiday voxbox review
Hey lovelies, I hope you’re warm and well!
I was super excited when I got the email from Influenster saying I was going to be receiving the Rimmel Holiday voxbox. Rimmel are a strong, cult drugstore brand. They’ve had super stars such as Kate Moss and Rita Ora as the face of their brand. Now I’ve been lucky enough to get my hands on some new products to try. So what did I get in my Rimmel holiday voxbox?
