Betrousse Beauty Kits Review...

I hope you've all enjoyed your weekends! 

Today's post is a review of a beauty box I was sent from the lovely people at Betrousse. Betrousse is a French company, currently reaching out to the UK, selling monthly beauty kit's! 

 For girlies who love a surprise when it comes to beauty treats, Betrousse is the perfect treat for you! (oh and did I mention its FRENCH)...

The latest box out is the 'Glitz and Glamour' kit. The kit is now £10*, with around £70 worth of full sized beauty products, and loads of advice on how to make the most of your treats!

 I was so excited by the beautiful wrapping when I saw my package on my doorstep! I love a company that goes to the extent of making their products beautiful in it's packaging...
Because Betrousse mainly supplies it's service in France currently, a lot of it's products are made in France too. It was so exciting to use brands that haven't properly been introduced into the UK yet, and were full sized products - so you can use them again and again!

The products included in the beauty kit were:
1. Mango and Sun flower Body Moisturiser - usually £3.99

2. Tulecos tonifying oil - usually £33.00

3. Jason Hair Shampoo - usually £7.29

4. Benta Berry ex foliating facial cleanser - usually £14.00

5. Make Believe enhance shimmer lip gloss - usually £10.00
My favourite item was the tonifying oil, as I've never used anything like it before - the instructions were really helpful. Also the shimmer lip gloss is my newest addition to my handbag essentials

I've sampled a few beauty box's and sometimes feel you don't get your moneys worth with the products. However, not only do Betrouse provide full sized products, they also provide you with products suited to your skin condition etc. What more can a girl ask for?
Have you tried the Betrousse Beauty Kits? - let me know!

That's all from me!
Hope your all making the most of the mid-march snow - crazy I know! Who's been snowed in?
Lots of Love,

Call the Midwife is back! Let the 1950's return!

Vintage is a huge part of my life! And with the latest season of Call the Midwife starting on Sunday, it's all I've been thinking about recently!

 Vintage is a way for us 'modern girls and boys' to dream of the lovely 'old day's,' our grandparents speak of so much...

The day's of ball's and dancing, of music and laughter and the incredibly styled clothes, that were designed for comfort, rather than how much skin you can flash!

Call the Midwife, sets the reality of what the 1950's clothes were designed for - hard work and to last in all weathers?! - So, no Primark then?

I'm so excited about the return of Call the Midwife. In times of horrors and slaughtering programs, it's good to see a different sort of 'blood and guts,' with the main character creating  life, rather than destroying it! 

This season is due to be another heart throb, however, this time with gripping drama included! It addresses the issues looming in the 1950's, and this time will focus on the enforced prostitution in London and nursing technology, including 'gas and air'... 

Here are a few thing's vintage, that appear on the program, that you can still buy for yourself to Vintage up you life! 

I just love the Robert's radios. This Vintage style Robert's Radio, proves how Vintage still go on - just like Robert's Radios, which was founded in the 1930's and still lives on today! I wan't this radio in my Kitchen! Radio - £138. 

Another Vintage item, staring in Call the Midwife, which is still as popular today, is the Bicycle. I've always dreamed of riding my bike with my little basket on the front - only problem is, is my house is surrounded by fields  so I doubt it would be very practical... Still, I tell myself this will be my first 'investment' when I go to University!

Well that's all from me!
Anyone else excited for Call the Midwife? Hope you all enjoying the snow too!  

Lots of Love,

The first fall of snow...

 "The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event."

 

YAY! A few weeks late, but the SNOW has finally arrived!
I've also had the last of my exams today, so the fun can really begin this weekend!
As our school let us out early this afternoon, me and my sister waisted no time to get out into the snow and put out hats and scarfs to good use...

 My sister enjoying the snow - minus the frost bite she got afterwards!

 I took advantage of the snow to wear my New Look boots, with these great Over boot socks from River Island, that kept my feet EXTRA warm! These boots are great, as they have lots of grip and you can tighten them, to stop the snow getting in!

Another key piece in my winter wardrobe is this years coat from Dorothy Perkins. It's lasted me all winter, and definitely worth buying - as it's passed every coat quality test! My french style hat, has always had a place in my winter wardrobe (since I was about 6..) and keeps my hear cosy!

 What I'm Wearing: Coat - Dorothy Perkins, Scarf - TU at Tesco, Boot Socks - River Island, Boots - New Look.

What Lydia is Wearing: Coat - New Look, Scarf/Hat - Matalan.

Did it snow where you are this week? How are you spending your snow day?

 I'm about to have a large mug of Cadbury Hot Chocolatte and change into a snuggly pair of  slipper socks, as I think my toes may just fall off any minute! 

Enjoy the snow, wherever you are!
Lots of Love,
