First of all can we just appreciate how cute the box design is! The brighter pink box with the illustrative bow and glossy finish just work so well for the theme of this box and I don't think I will throw this box away, love it! Now onto the products that I got in my GlossyBox this month:

Docteur Renaud Raspberry Soft Cream: I haven't heard of this brand before but it's is one GlossyBox's favourite brands so I'm going to trust that this is a good brand and that I will get on well with this cream. I'm not a big fan of body creams as I do tend to have sensitive skin when it comes to body creams and lotions where I always pretty much get some sort of reaction but my initial thoughts on this product are quite good as I tested it out last night after my shower and it left my arms feeling so soft and the scent is really nice, as it is a subtle raspberry scent which is really nice but not overpowering at all.

ModelCo Eyeshadow Duo in Bronzed Goddess: I was so excited to see that I had this product in my GlossyBox, I've heard some really good things about ModelCo but have never owned or tried any of their products. I really like the two shades in this palette as they are the two main shades that I use and is perfect for when i'm on the go as I can use the brown shade to touch up my eyebrows if needed instead of also carrying my eyebrow palette. So thumbs up for this product!

Helen E Cosmetics Moisturising Lipstick: As I am starting to find my love for lipsticks I was excited to see I had a lipstick in my box this month as I've heard some really good things about this brand and their lipsticks. Unfortunately I received a light brown shade which just doesn't suit me or my skin tone, but I have given to my mum as she loves her brown lipsticks so she's happy with it! 

Micabella Cosmetics Mineral Blush Powder: I haven't heard of Micabella before but I'm very intrigued as their cosmetic collection is made from 100% natural mica and also this blush contains SPF15 (in a powder, wow!). I really like this product, the colour of blush is just right for me it isn't too pink but isn't too orange either and applies so easily. Love it!

Anatomicals 'You need a blooming shower!' Body Cleanser: I was over the moon when I saw I had another anatomical product in my GlossyBox, as I just love Anatomicals from the few products I have received from GlossyBox in the past. I love this body cleanser it smells so nice, it has a subtle rose scent that isn't too floral or overpowering as some floral scents can be and leaves my skin feeling so smooth!

As a little extra GlossyBox threw in the cute heart shaped lollipop which I thought was such a cute touch and it tastes amazing, where can I order these from?! haha.

Overall I love this months GlossyBox, it's just stomps on last months box and I really like pretty much all of the products, just a shame about the lipstick shade.

Have you received your GlossyBox yet? What were your favourite products?

As i'm sure many of you know the monochrome trend is making a comeback this spring/summer season from all the monochrome styles seen at LFW and all over the magazine trends sections recently and I can't help but look at my winter wardrobe and want to start preparing it ready for the trends this summer, as summer is my favourite season from the light airy pastel shades and delicate floral prints that always seem to creep back into our lives every year! 

Now monochrome isn't something I would have ever associated with summer as I think 'black in summer, no no' but it seems the monochrome trend could easily be adapted with lighter weight and coloured fabrics with accents of black detailing and prints.

As a massive lover of Topshop I thought it would only be right to see what they're take on the monochrome trend would be like and see what they had to offer us on trend fashionistas! 

Starting with the beautiful striped skater dress, you could easily throw this on in the day with a cute pair of sandals and you're ready to go or you could dress it up in the evening with some chunky jewellery and heels as it is such a versatile and statement piece. Next onto the t-shirt dress, how cute is this!? Seriously, I could just throw this on over a body con mini skirt or a pair of shorts and I would feel ultrafab and super comfy all day long. Now the striped sleeveless vest again would be a great statement and staple piece as it so versatile just like the skater dress, you could wear it for so many different occasions and create so many different looks throughout the summer months. Like I said about the floral prints, I love what Topshop have done with the blazer, the mixing of the two trends works so well and this would be perfect on the cooler summer days where you could do with a jacket to throw on. Again the short sleeved t-shirt is perfect for those casual day to day outfits and could be worn in so many ways, tucked into high waisted shorts or worn loose over a bodycon mini. Finally the shoes! Aren't these so adorable but still fierce! Every girl needs a new pair of heels or two for the summer months especially as nights out are more on the cards as the nights are so much warmer than the winter ones!

I hope you liked these monochrome picks! Which ones do you like?

 I have heard a lot of good things about this new Vera Wang fragrance and as I have been a big fan of the Vera Wang Princess range owning every single fragrance released from the range so I was really excited to see try out this fragrance as it is labeled 'Floral Rush' which sounded like a fragrance I would really like and I'm glad to say I loveeeee it!

I picked this up from Boots earlier today as I have just finished up my current perfume and I am one those girls that goes through perfumes very quickly and I always have to have a perfume on the go so I thought this was the best time to buy this. I decided to pick up the smaller 30ml bottle as it was the cheapest and I didn't want to buy a huge bottle especially of a fragrance I have never owned before, but I am slightly regretting it now, oh well. 

I love everything about this perfume, the bottle design is so cute with the purple flowers on the lid which is a similar design to the Marc Jacobs perfume range and I think they are very fitting to the fragrance name and the purple tinted bottle just ties it all in really. Onto the scent, the name 'Floral Rush' really does sum up what the scent is, a floral scent that isn't too overpowering like some floral fragrances can be and it's a really girly/flirty fragrance. If you liked any of the fragrances from the Princess range then you will probably really like this fragrance too and you only need one or two sprays of the perfume as the scent is quite strong which means it may last a little longer.

If you're looking for a new fragrance I highly reccomend that you try out this fragrance or at least swatch it as it smells amazing and is really affordable.

 River Island - So from River Island I picked up this amazing coat which was in the sale section but with no sale tag so I wasn't sure if it was the sale but thankfully it was and it was the last one! It was reduced from £70, to £40 which I thought was really good and as I returned the coat I previously bought from ASOS I needed to find another, so great bargain!

Primark - From Primark I just picked up a few essentials as I was in need of some new tights for work and some black socks as all of mine have for some reason gone missing so I picked up those and whilst we were in Primark I ended up looking in the Pj section and ended up buying these two really nice floral pj bottoms which for £5 each I couldn't resist and they are so soft and comfy! They also will come in handy for when I am down in London as I don't really own many pj items, especially to last me a month!

Savers - So we popped in Savers for Ambers benefit and I ended up picking up a couple of items but I love Savers because you really do save money compared to if I was to buy these items from Boots or Superdrug. Anyway, I firstly picked up the cherry Carmex which I literally ran to when I saw it as they had a good range of stuff and I am in need of new Carmex. Then next to the Carmex range they had a nice little Nivea stand and if any of you saw my payday wishlist you will have seen that I wanted to get the Nivea Express Hydration Primer for dry skin which was only £3.59 and it was the last pot so I grabbed it off the shelf and headed to the tills before I bought anything else!

Hope you are all having a good week and I will see you in my next post!
