Pink Parcel Box Opening | August

It's that time of the month again where I received my monthly subscription box from Pink Parcel and I share all of the wonderful goodies that came along with it! 

Of course this is a "monthly" subscription so you do get all your lady pieces along with the things I am about to show you as well.

A tea is one thing Pink Parcel always make sure you are supplied with!

This is from the Fudge Kitchen and it is the Chilli Chocolate Fudge dipped in Orange Flavoured Chocolate. I'm not too sure about this chilli chocolate but I'm certainly going to give it a try! 

A small sample size bottle of L'Occitane's shower oil.

A Bella Pierre lipstick in the colour 'Cat Walk'.

I'm quite excited to try this bronzer from L'Oreal, I haven't heard or seen it before so I'm quite excited to try it out and see what I think, I will present you with my verdict soon! 

I've never heard of Unani before, but this day cream looks interesting and it's quite a decent size bottle so I'm excited to try this out!

This is a little box of gummy sweets, they're nice but they have a bit of a weird consistency, they're very soft and not very chewy at all, it's weird but they're nice anyway!

There was also a £15 off voucher for the Sassy Bloom box but I don't have children so this isn't any use to me! Oh well, I'm sure it will have been of use to some people who also received this months box!

I hope you enjoyed this post and I will see you all again very soon for something new! 

Are you subscribed to any monthly boxes?

Love, Becca

Pink Parcel Box Opening | July

It's that time of month again! My Pink Parcel package arrived this week and so what better way to celebrate than share it with you guys!?

Before I start anything, I'm sorry I didn't post anything on Monday but I forgot to have a post prepared and I was just really tired so I apologise for that. I also want to say that my schedule is going to be changing slightly, I'm just finding it really hard to stick to the topics for each day so I'm going to have a little think and I'll get back to you! Anyways...

I'm super happy with this month's box, they seem to be getting better and better at the moment! I will go into more detail as I get further on in the post! I hope you enjoy seeing what I received this month! 

This is a 30ml 'Try Me' size bottle of the Green People's Scent Free Sun Lotion. Really excited to try this out this summer! To buy this product it is £5 in this 30ml size. This is also SPF 30 which I will probably mostly be using on my face as that is more important to me! 

This product on it's own costs more than I pay for the box! This is the LOreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara which is £10.99 in Boots etc. I only pay £9.99 for the box every month so this of course made me very happy! Plus, mascaras are one of my guilty pleasures - no seriously, I have loads - so I am very, very happy with this!  

Okay... DRUMROLL PLEASE... This product costs £23.50 to buy when I looked it up online! Unbelievably happy with this! 30ml might not sound much but I get the feeling that a little goes a long way with this product, but I will let you know of course. Organic Surge isn't a brand I've heard of before but I am super excited to try this Intensive Smoothing Serum out! Expect to see a review of this! 

I just think this is really cute! It smells amazing, I really like the smell of watermelon and I think the fact it's in a cocktail shaker makes it look super cute! Did I mention it's a lip balm...?

Pink Parcel always supply you with a tea of some description and something chocolatey, what more can a girl want on her period? I'm really excited about the chocolate product this month because you put this into a glass of warm milk and it makes a hot chocolate and it just sounds perfect to me! Can't wait to have this!

I've heard of Bandzee and I've seen their bobbles but I've never bought any, so I'm quite excited about these. I believe the point is that they don't damage your hair, or something along those lines so I'm actually really excited to see if they don't damage my hair as much as the Primark bobbles do! They're also in such cute colours which makes them perfect for summer!

As you can tell, I'm really impressed with this month's box, and I really feel that I've got well over my money's worth here! 

See you soon 

Love, Becca

Pink Parcel Box Opening | June

So here I am with another box opening! I actually received my box last week but I'm only just getting round to writing about it! Sorry! I guess it means I can go into a little more depth about some things though! 

If you don't know what Pink Parcel is, you can go over and have a look at my April or May box openings to find out a little more! 

So first of all, the packaging. SO discrete which I think is really good because the last thing we want as a woman is all the neighbours and the postman knowing its that time of the month! Am I right!? It's also super cute too! 

So the first thing I spotted when I opened the 'For You' box (everyone's favourite part) was the MUA Power Pout. I already own one of these and I absolutely love it! The consistency is lovely and the pigmentation isn't too much but it's just enough to give an effect. This colour looks rather brown but it actually goes on with a bit of a pink tone to it and I have worn it so many times now - including to prom - and I have been loving it. This was a hit for me.

... This, I'm not so sure on. Brown isn't really a colour I would pick to put on my nails... I am going to give it a try at some point but I'm honestly not too sure what I'll think of this because to me this isn't the most attractive of nail colours.

This is a product I'm really excited about. I'd never heard of SASS before but this cleanser sample really excites me and I can't wait to try it out! 

A little bar of chocolate for when I get peckish! Though I find that 70% chocolate doesn't taste too good but we'll see...

Something else I got really excited about this month! I've heard of Quickies before but I've never tried them so I'm super excited to try these eye makeup remover pads out! I think I might take them away with me because eye makeup is pretty much all I wear in the sun so these should come in really handy! 

I know you can't tell in this photo, but this photo is actually of the empty packet because I didn't have my camera to hand when I was opening the box and I was hungry so I ate them... But they were so good and I really recommend them! If anyone knows where I can get these from please tell me because I really enjoyed it! You get 2 oatcakes in the pack and it basically just has a load of different seeds in. I really enjoyed it, super healthy too!

One thing Pink Parcel always include is tea because everyone loves a good cuppa! I haven't had this yet but I'm sure it's lovely. Not a brand I've tried before either so that's exciting!

Finally, I received a pack of 3 pencils with super cute slogans on! 

The gold one says 'HAND OVER THE CHOCOLATE AND NO ONE GETS HURT'

The pink one says 'ME? CRAZY? SHOULD I GET OFF THIS UNICORN AND SLAP YOU?'

And the white one says 'LIVING FOR NAPS + NETFLIX' 

I think these pencils are super cute and they came sharpened which excited me a lot. I hate it when you buy new pencils and they aren't already sharpened. Just a pet hate of mine.

So that's everything I received in my Pink Parcel box this month. It has definitely been my favourite of the 3 I've had so far so thank you Pink Parcel for that, I look forward to July's box arriving! 

I hope you enjoyed seeing what I received this month and I will see you again tomorrow for another post! 

Love, Becca

Review: Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Hair and Scalp Treatment

As you may have seen in my first Pink Parcel box opening, I received the Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Hairand Scalp Treatment which I was very excited about! So, today I decided to review it since I’ve used up the 22ml sample Pink Parcel supplied me with!

Now obviously I received this product as part of a monthly subscription so I only received a sample of the product, not a whole size container of it. However, I think with this product a little really would go a long way. I only had a 22ml sachet and I think I got 5 or 6 uses out of it, and as you’ve seen in my photos, I have relatively long hair – and I did use it all over my hair every time.

Full price for a 500ml bottle of this is around £25-£30 and I have linked you to the product at the start of the post if you would like to shop this product. So, for the price you are paying for a full bottle of this, it has to be worth it.

So here’s my verdict.

I used the product all over my scalp and all the way down the rest of my hair. I didn’t actually massage it for the 3-5 minutes that it suggests but that’s just because I’m lazy. However, when I did rinse it off after about a minute and a half to two minutes of massaging, my hair felt noticeably different. It’s that really nice feeling you get after using a really good conditioner and it felt really good.

Tea tree for me always has a cooling effect on whatever area of my body I use it on and I found that after I had used this, my scalp felt very cool and refreshed. This sounds weird, and it was a weird feeling for me at first but once you get used to it it’s actually really nice. If you suffer with sensitive scalp, this may be of use to you. I found the cooling effect really refereshing because I often get an itchy scalp (it’s not nits, I promise I just have a really sensitive scalp) and using this product really cooled and soothed it which was really nice for me.

Another thing I noticed with this product was that it changed how my hair felt quite drastically really. I could see the improvement on the damaged ends of my hair and my hair honestly felt amazing. I was going round getting everyone in my family to feel it because it honestly felt so soft!

Overall, I thought this was a really good product and I really enjoyed using it! 

I hope you enjoyed this little review - I feel like it's been ages since I did a proper review for you! 

See you next time!

Love, Becca

Pink Parcel Box Opening | May

So as you may or may not have seen last month, I subscribed for my first box to Pink Parcel. I wrote about it and talked about all of the things I received here if you would like to read it!

I'm not going to go over all of the different sections to the box again because I did all of that in my unboxing last month so you can go see that there if you would like to find out more. So basically, I'm going to show you the 'For You' section of the box, enjoy! 

And that's everything I got and it's safe to say I'm very excited to try it all and I will definitely let you know what I think of the products I have received this month! 

I also have a review ready for a product from last month's Pink Parcel so keep your eyes peeled for that! 

Love, Becca

Pink Parcel Box Opening | April

So I have wanted to subscribe to Pink Parcel for a really long time and well, I eventually did it! 

I'm a bit late to the party on the April box but I thought I'd do it anyway since it was my first box from them! 

Just a little disclaimer before I start, this was in no way given to me for free and I am not being paid to write any posts about the box itself or any of the products in the box. All has been paid for.

Pink Parcel is basically a monthly subscription that sends you all of the things us ladies need at that time of the month, as well as a few lovely treats for yourself! When you subscribe, your first box is £5.95 and then after that it is £9.99 per month. At first I was a bit unsure about the price considering a lot of the package is sanitary towels/tampons, but the other things you get in the box add up to much more than that price anyway, so it's totally worth it!

So, I thought I'd share with you what is in the box from April!

Before I say anything else, I want to start off with the packaging because it's literally flawless. So subtle and sleek, I love it.

Some of the products that come in the box will include some leaflets and information about the product and where you can get it which I always find helpful because there's nothing worse than loving a sample and not knowing where you can get more of it!

There are 4 sections inside the box when you open it up...

For Now: A small material pouch containing 4 of the sanitary towels or tampons that you selected online.

For Bedtime: 5 more protective sanitary towels or tampons.

For Later: 12 sanitary towels or tampons of the same brand as the For Now pouch.

For You: Includes 7 products for you to try and enjoy.

2 of the products I received in the For You box was a Bella Pierre eye dust in Bubble Gum which looks lovely and I am excited to try out! I'm not sure what brand this actually is but there was also an eye liner that came so I am also very excited to try that out!

There are also 2 food/drink products in the box. There was a Ceylon pink tea and a Doisy and Dam coconut and lucuma chocolate bar. Not going to lie, not sure how these are going to taste but I'll let you guys no at some point no doubt!

The final 3 products were as shown above. 

#LipGlam lip balm which can apparently be used for many other places than just your lips so I'm really excited to see what this has to offer! 

Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Hair and Scalp Treatment and this is a 22ml sample. I love trying out new hair products because my hair often feels quite strawlike and dry so finding something to fix that or at least mask it a little bit is always a plus for me! 

And finally a pack of 10 2 ply tissues with ducks on them. What more can you want in life? These little packs of tissues are so helpful if you're out and need a tissue, you never know when you might need one!

And that's everything! I do plan on reviewing some of the products in this box for you so do keep your eyes peeled for those reviews in the next month or so! 

Just before I end the post, my advice post went live on the Silent Secret Tumblr blog last night also so I have linked that if you would all like to go and check it out! It's the one right at the top about Friendship as that is the topic I decided to write about this week! Enjoy! 

I hope you enjoyed this post and I hope you all have a lovely bank holiday! 

Love, Becca
