Pink Parcel September Review

Hey everyone! This post is definitely one for the girls, so boys if you aren't interested in a monthly subscription box for periods, I'd close your browser now. I've been using the monthly subscription company Pink Parcel for about a year now and I've loved every single package I've received. This month, they have changed the look and the general products in the box, adding more goodies to cheer you up when it's that time of the month...


When received in the post, the parcel comes in a black packet which saves potential awkwardness with your postman, which is great. No awkward exchanges with him knowing all your business - the parcels also fit through 94% of letterboxes, but it's just unfortunate that mine is in that 6% that doesn't, which kind of sucks but I'll get over it. The package only costs £12.99 per month and is filled with a ton of goodies to get you through that awful week each month - the goodies include chocolate, 
tea and of course some makeup!






First, on the goodies side of things is Bubble T Shower Jelly (£4) which smells absolutely incredible with it's summer fruits scent. Also in the box is a Bourjois Mascara (£7.99), Halo Make Up Remover Pads (£1.50), Doisy & Dam Date and Himalayan Pink Salt Chocolate (£1.75) - this is the yummiest chocolate EVER, LipGlam Lip Balm (£9.99), Arrow Pendant Necklace (£5), Novus Persian Pomegranate Tea and last but not least, a £25 (!) voucher for Hello Fresh







Pink Parcel have got a new addition to the package and it is a SASS Purifying Cleanser (£7) for...down there. The total worth of all the products is over £60, not including the cost of all the hygiene products such as pads/tampons etc. so you really are getting a lot for your money. The website gives a variety of pads and tampons for you to choose from and you get a really good amount of them, maybe a few too many, but at least you'll always be prepared. The pads/tampons come in boxes and also in a small bag which is perfect to keep in a handbag when you're out and about. 

I would seriously recommend subscribing to Pink Parcel as it makes that time of the month a lot more enjoyable, even setting your subscription so you receive them every two or three months is still really worth it and that's what I've been doing for the past year as I don't necessarily need them every month. I genuinely love every product I've received this month especially and I can't wait to wear my new make up and jewellery. Make sure to let me know if you are going to subscribe and if you already are, let me know how you're finding it! Have a lovely week!

10 Favourite Lipsticks of 2015!

So, I know the year isn't exactly over yet but I've been extremely into wearing lipsticks this year and I wanted to share with you the ones that have been my staple. There's a mixture of nudes and bold colours so there's something for everything! I have also swatched all of this lippies and I'll leave a picture at the bottom of the post! 

1. Models Own Colour Lip-Stix in 'Purple Pleasure' (£4.99) - anyone who knows me will know that this purple lipstick is my statement lippy. It goes everywhere with me and is my go-to colour. I have three of the other colours from this range but the purple is by far my favourite! When I use this lipstick, I pair it with my MAC Lip Pencil in the Shade 'Heroine'. 
2. NYX Chunky Dunk in 'Pink Bikini' ($6.00) - this shade is a subtle pink colour and gives a really lovely glossy finish. This is the other lipstick that is always with me and I tend to use it if I want a more natural looking lip colour. I bought this whilst in America so I'm not sure if it's available anywhere in the UK! 
3. REVLON Matte Colourburst in '210/Unapologetic' (£7.99) - this is a really bold red/pink colour and I find this really difficult to pair with an outfit as the colours tend to clash sometimes, but when I do find an outfit that this will go with (mainly a black outfit), I work this lippie!
4. Clarins Rouge Eclat in '05/Pink Berry' (£19.50) - this dark red/pink is perfect for the winter time and I found myself mainly wearing this in January/February time but I'm so excited to start wearing it again this Autumn. 
5. MAC Frost in 'New York Apple' (£15.50) - this lipstick was very much my holiday lipstick as I bought it whilst in New York in May. Whilst I adore the pearly red colour, I find that it bleeds very easily so if you were to use this lipstick I would definitely buy a lip liner to go with it. 
6. MAC Lustre in 'Politely Pink' (£15.50) - this pearlescent beigey pink is perfect if you prefer nude shades to bolds. It adds a really lovely touch to natural make up and doesn't bleed at all.
7. Rimmel Matte Apocalips in '505/Burning Lava' (£6.49) - the bold red of this makes me feel so fierce when I'm wearing it, you have no idea. I feel like every girl needs a bold red in her make up bag and this one is mine!
8. MAC Lustre in 'VIVA GLAM V' (£15.50) - this browny nude shade is so lovely when it hits the light as it shimmers and looks so beautiful! 
9. MAC Cremesheen in 'Crosswires' (£15.50)  - I also bought this when I was in New York and it's an amazing coral colour which I find really compliments my skin tone. It's yet again quite a bold colour but really looks amazing when it's on.
10. MAC Lustre in 'Lustering' (£15.50) - this is a beautiful pink colour and whilst it looks pretty bold in the tube, when it's on isn't as threatening as it looks.

10 Toothpaste Life Hacks!

So, there's actually a ton of ways that toothpaste (yes, toothpaste) can be used other than for cleaning your teeth. These toothpaste hacks include removing stains, cleaning and polishing. Make sure to use non-gel toothpaste for each of these hacks!


  1. Removing scuffs from leather/patent shoes: Just squirt a pea-sized amount onto the scuffed area of the shoe and rub it in circular motions with a soft cloth, then wipe away with a damp cloth when done.
  2. Getting rid of small scratches on phone screen: As done before, put a small dab of toothpaste onto a cloth and rub the scratch for a few minutes, applying a small amount of pressure. Once done, wipe away with a clean cloth. (This is subjective to how deep the scratch is!)
  3. Polishing jewellery/diamonds: Use an old toothbrush to gently brush some toothpaste onto the jewellery to create a shine, then wipe away afterwards.
  4. Preventing fogging on bathroom mirrors: Coat some toothpaste onto the mirror and then wipe clean before showering/bathing to prevent it from getting all foggy.
  5. Polishing/Shining metal and silverware: To remove fingerprints or just give a general shine, use a soft cloth to apply toothpaste in circular motions onto chrome like metal in bathrooms and kitchens.
  6. Removing crayon from walls: If a child has drawn crayon all over your walls, just use the previous methods of applying toothpaste and then wiping away, this time with a damp cloth.
  7. Removing ink or makeup from clothing: Put toothpaste on the clothing item and vigorously rub the fabric together, it may take a few attempts to entirely remove the stain and may not work depending on the fabric and the ink, but it's definitely worth a try!
  8. Getting rid of pimples or spots: This may cause potential irritation if you have sensitive skin, so if that's the case I would give this one a miss. But if not, apply toothpaste by dabbing it on the spot and leave it overnight to dry on the skin. By the morning, it will have dehydrated the spot causing it to be easily removed! When you wake up, wash your face thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove any excess toothpaste.
  9. Easily removing watermarks from wooden tables: Using a soft cloth, rub on toothpaste to the watermark and then wipe away with a damp cloth, letting it dry before making sure to apply furniture polish.
  10. Cleaning the rubber trims on shoes: After scrubbing the rubber trims and soles of the shoes, wipe with a damp cloth.  
I hope some of these toothpaste life hacks help you out in a time of need.
I hope you have a lovely week!

Exciting Collab with To Die For Swimwear!

School time is nearly here which means it's time for all the teenagers in the world to become miserable again, but saving me from sinking into the deep pit of sadness is To Die For Swimwear.

To Die For have been absolutely incredible and have given me my very own voucher code for their website specifically for all you lovely people to use! The voucher code will only be valid until the 28th September so make sure to steal this code quickly! The voucher code you need to use is 'STLYEBLOG'.  Free shipping will be given at the checkout when the code is used which will give you a saving of around £10 (the bikinis are shipped from Stockholm, Sweden).

To Die For is a company who create high quality, stunning bikinis for all of you who are on the hunt for a new favourite brand. They've been featured in magazines such as Cosmopolitan, which has further increased their success as a company. The bikinis designed and sold by To Die For are innovative and creative and a must have in anyone's wardrobe. Their Kenzi collection is insanely beautiful and is not one to miss out on! 

Another thing I adore about To Die For is that they "believe in healthy, not skinny". Before casting their models, they ensure they're eating properly, so as to not follow in the footsteps of supermodels who are literally starving themselves to be accepted in the modelling industry. To Die For donates money to international foundations for eating disorders, a further push to change the outlook of society upon not only models, but all people. 

I'm extremely excited to be able to share the collaboration with To Die For as they're a company I've adored for a long time! I hope many of you take advantage of this unique voucher code and I hope you all have a lovely week, despite school starting back up again (good luck)!
