New Purchase // Michael Kors Jet Set Top-Zip Saffiano Tote



As soon as I saw this bag on a recent holiday in Fuerteventura, I knew I had to buy it! I love the colour the size and the amount of pockets inside - you can never have too many compartments to put things in. 
This is my first purchase from Michael Kors and as attempting as it was to get the matching purse I didn't think my bank account would appreciate it. 
I think it is a great bag for the summer and would be perfect for a shopping trip, a meal, meeting up with friends or work. 

I bought it from The Mint Company for 219 euros - roughly £186. Inside it also had a small card to tell me about the leather and how to look after it, which I found very useful. 








The bag is in the colour Tangerine and is one of the smaller versions in the Jet Set group.
It is made of saffiano leather and also has an MK logo circle charm. It is roughly 9"H x 14"W x 0.5"D. It has a top zip and also if the straps are too long or short you can adjust them. It also has a sturdy bottom and as you can see from the picture below it has a beautiful lining with the initials MK.  The tote bag comes in a range of colours but I think this orange will brighten up any outfit. 


Inside as you can see it has three open pockets, one zip pocket, a pocket for your mobile phone and a clasp which I use for my keys. I have been able to fit my laptop, notepads and make-up essentials in it - it really is the perfect size.

Review// Glossybox June





Hi everyone, so I recently received the June Glossybox, which this month featured around summer looks. Although it hasn't really been much of a summer yet this month's products have really got me excited for when the sun eventually stays out for good. 



A nice little surprise this month was receiving six products instead of five - an extra bonus :) However, the only downfall was that I got hair products for curly hair, despite putting on my profile I have straight hair. I am interested to see what effects it will have on my hair though.



Nuxe - Huile Prodigieuse OR

I love the smell, feel and look of this product. It has shimmering gold particles in it and when rubbed into the skin it gives a really nice summer finish. 

It is a multi-purpose dry oil so you can use it all over your body, hair and even face. I will probably rub it on my arms and decollette for a night out but I cannot wait to use it all over my body on holiday. Compared to the brand's normal oil, this option is great for the summer months. 

Full product size 100ml is £34.00 and available here



Figs and Rouge Coco Rose - Full size

This calls itself a lip balm, but according to Glossybox it can also be used on cuticles, the skin and even on eyelids to add some sheen. The packaging allows you to apply without using your fingertips, so great if you are at a festival this summer and have dirty hands. 

I love the smell and texture of the product and have now put it on my desk at work. I think the packaging is extra cute too.

Full size 12.5ml is £5.00 and available here




Monu Professional Skincare - Hydrating Moisturiser


It seems this moisturiser has it all - with UVA and UVB protection against the sun's damage, vitamin e and supposedly soft focus technology that helps to blur the imperfections and correct skin tone. 

I have yet to try this product but having used previous Monu products in the past I am sure it will not disappoint. 

It also has no strong smell which I always prefer in a moisturiser. 

Full size 50ml priced at £29.95 and available here





Q - Body Spray - Full size


I think the size of this body spray is great to be able to just pop in your bag and grab it whenever you need to freshen up. Personally I always carry around a miniature perfume with me but I think I will swap this for the Q body spray and give it a go. 

The smell is lovely and feminine and not too strong. On the bottle it says it has floral top notes and warm, sensual base notes that lasts all day. 

This is the first time I have received a body spray in a Glossybox so I am very excited to try it out. 

Full size 100ml is £2.29 and available here. 







Paul Mitchell Curls

I was given a Full Circle Leave-in Treatment and Ultimate Wave. I love the Paul Mitchell brand so look forward to trying this out. 

As I said earlier I do not have curly hair, in fact I have really straight hair that constantly needs volumising, but I'm wondering if this might do the trick. 

The products say they are a dynamic duo that will give you a tousled carefree summer look in no time. 

Full size treatment 200ml is £14.95 and the full size wave 150ml is £11.95.

I have been signed up to Glossybox for more than a year now and I can honestly say it is brilliant. I always get excited when my dad brings it home from the post office and even though I am not the biggest fan of all the products it has opened me up to a lot more brands that I would not have tried previously.
