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

How To Style A Two-Piece

Mid week post? What is this? What's going on? 
I had my first 2 GCSE exams today - NO MORE FRENCH EVER - and so I thought I'd give myself a night off revision and just put together a post for you!

So today I thought I'd do something slightly different to normal because, well, why not? 

I wanted to do a style related post so I thought I'd use this outfit that I wore the other day and share it with you guys!

This isn't actually a two-piece that I bought as a set, I've actually had both of these pieces for ages and just never thought of putting them together until now! 

I hope you enjoy seeing how I styled this two-piece as two-pieces have never really been something that has appealed to me but since putting these two pieces together I'm really starting to warm up to the idea! This is pretty much just a selection of selfies as I didn't have anyone to take the photos for me so, yeah enjoy!









Top: Amazon
Denim Shirt: New Look
Socks: New Look
Shoes: JuJu
Necklace: Primark
Watch: Casio
Bracelet: Dainty Day Dream

If you would like to read specifically about the Dainty Day Dream jewelery and get better photos of it, click here to head over to an exclusive post I did which includes a discount code for the shop so hurry! 

Hope you enjoyed the mid week surprise! See you again soon!

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
