This is a monthly subscription box, it starts at £13 for a value of £50+ Available here

Now I saw this online a day or two before mine arrived, so it wasn’t a surprise. And I saw a tonne of negative comments too. And while some are valid, ie brands that have popped up over and over again in these boxes, I didn’t agree with some other comments, but it’s personal isn’t it. I have to say I’m actually really pleased with mine. It couldn’t be more suited to me if they tried.

Lottie London Ready Set Go Setting Powder in Shade Brightening Pink 5grams RRP £3.95 Brightening Pink can visibly brighten under the eyes due to the slight rosy hue, that’s close to translucent. Help set your foundation for a crease free finish. Super fine milled.

I have the banana version, so I can’t wait to try the pink one, as I wouldn’t buy it to try necessarily, so how better to try new things. Buy similar Here

Christophe Robin Cleansing Purifying Scrub with Sea Salt 40ml £15.00 I saw most comments about this being in the box along with the gel above, as they are often repeated. However I was chuffed. I’ve used Christophe Robin Rose extracts shampoo before and I adored it, so I have high hopes for this. But I am concerned on the stripping of my pink hair colour?? So maybe try it just before I need to redye it anyways.

They say it’s a best selling detox shampoo that rebalances and purifies sensitive and oily scalps, by removing daily build up, to leave the hair fresh feeling and shiny looking. The sea salt is an effective natural exfoliant, while the grains are a microcirculation stimulates the scalp. Buy here

This is a monthly subscription, I’ve paid for 12 months so mine is £13.00 per month. It’s £15.00 a month if you rather do monthly. Or £14.50 a month if you do 3 monthly plans or £13.75 for 6 months. So it’s affordable and flexible.

This month’s theme is getaway, and while I have no long distance tropical plans, I do still enjoy summer nights out, and mini breaks in this country. Admittedly mainly camping, but these items are still appropriate.

First up it’s not a box, which I’m so pleased with, I love these clear bags. Perfect for toiletries camping or aboard.

First item I gave away immediately as I had no use for it. It’s a #Ciate Glow to Highlighter 6g. It’s a beautiful shade and shimmer but as I don’t wear highlighter it would be wasted on me.

I swapped that with my daughter to have her #BondiSands SPF 50 10ml suncream as I have Polymorphic Light Eruption. IE I’m allergic to the sun and UV rays, so more factor 50 the better for me.

Then we have #WeAreParadox 3 in 1 hair treatment 30ml, it can be used as a hair conditioner as normal after shampooing, or add to towel dried hair as a leave in conditioner, or on dry hair as a styling cream. So many options I feel this is an essential for holidays.

One item I was super excited about was the #Gruum Purifying Charcoal cleansing bar 50g A zero plastic cleansing bar which detoxes the skin leaving it feeling clearer, brighter and smooth. Perfect small bar to pack nice and light, this is a camp perfect item.

#RitualOfKarma Body shimmer oil 30ml a beautiful and decadent body oil with tiny shimmering mineral particles that catch the light and sun, to give you the most gorgeous shimmer. What a summer night out essential, look glamorous and sun kissed.

My final item is the #SolDeJanerio Bum Bum cream 25ml the holy grail of most influencers and bloggers alike. I’ve never tried it before, and my legs well after 6 enormous scars on my legs and buttocks, I’m keen to see how this feels, and I obviously have cellulite too. The smell is divine!!

I’m absolutely loving this month’s, after a few meh months it feels good to be excited to try new brands and products. If I wore highlighter I would adore the ciate one, and I have too many as it is, and wear them as eyeshadows. This month there isn’t a single boring item for me.
