As you're all probably aware by now, this months Glossybox was limited edition collaboration with Harrods.  A really great move in my opinion and much needed after the 'meh-ness' of the February Glossybox!  Though I'm not overly fussed with a few items, this months is one of my favourite Glossybox's so far.  I'm loving experiencing some of the high end products Harrods is known for and that I wouldn't usually splash out on.

I've seemed to accumulated a few Molton Brown samples recently, but I suppose they are handy for holidays.  Although I don't think any normal person can get too excited about a shower gel, the Heavenly Gingerlily scent is lovely and fresh!  Another product which is 'nice to try' but you can't get to excited about is the Clarins Extra Firming Body Cream, I feel like every month I'm saying 'oh no, not another body lotion'!  I got one in January's and February's boxes, at least the offerings are getting better and better by the month...  I don't think the sample is big enough to test just how firming this lotion can be, but certainly smells nice and is moisturising so does the job nicely!

Onto the products I'm more excited about!  A lot of people moan about receiving perfume in the Glossybox but I'm a bit of a perfume addict and so was very pleased to a little sample spritzer this month.  When first spraying the Narciso Rodrigues, For Her fragrance, the first thing I thought was, 'for mum'!  However when I got on with the rest of my day I found myself smelling my wrists and loving how this slightly more mature fragrance settled on me.  So sorry mum, this one is staying in my handbag!  The Burberry Beauty Miniature Lip Mist has been much raved about in the other reviews I've read.  This teeny tiny sample has the most stunning packaging I've seen for some time, with both the casing and lipstick bullet itself both embossed with the signature Burberry checks.  The lipstick itself is very moisturising and has the glossy-sheer finish that I like, but the colour (No. 202 Copper) just doesn't suit me.  I think this is something that actually going to pass to mum, while I check out the colours in the range.  Finally, my favourite product is the YSL Forever Youth Liberator Serum.  I own a few serums already, and although I can't guarantee they actually work I love the idea of them and will continue to give them a go.... and this YSL serum seems to be quite sciencey so I have high hopes!  Just one drop of this serum is seriously all you need to cover your whole face! It's silky texture just glides all over!  Lovely.

I know I'm pretty late to the party when it comes to raving about 'petrol' nail varnishes!  I've been wearing Topshop's Hidden Treasure polish pretty much non stop for two months now, and have been meaning to post about it that whole time!  So many distractions!

I won't lie, I totally bought this Topshop polish purely for it being one of the closest dupes to Chanel's Peridot out there!... and £6 instead of £17.50, an absolute bargain to boot!  I love the multi-toned metallic finish of this polish, which gets so many compliments!  Hidden Treasure is predominately gold, with blue, green and bronze aspects when tilted at different angles and in different lights.  Beautiful.  I'm also really impressed with the quality of this £6 nail varnish, it lasts around 3 days on my nails before chipping and this is even without a top coat.  I've actually had a lot better experience with this polish than I've had with others from Topshop!

What do you think of the petrol varnish trend?  Have you tried any of the Chanel Peridot dupes... or even the real thing?!

The title of this post sounds a lot more lively than my face looks in these pictures!  I'd just got in from a long days shopping and was feeling ever so slightly ill!  Woe is me! :)   Even though the sun has been shining (from time to time), it's still pretty cold at the moment... there was even a bit of snow up north yesterday!  So you can always find me tucked up cosy and warm in a big jumper!


I really feel like I really want to embrace the whole neon trend this spring, and am absolutely loving this jumper from H&M.  It's so thick and warm, and is literally bright neon pink!  It's a very statement piece and gets me lots of comments every time I wear it!  To be honest the jumper photographs really strangely, the jumper has the look of a white jumper that's been painted pink, it looks much better in real life!


You can just about glimpse them in these pictures but I paired the neon jumper with my much loved disco pants!  When I first bought these trousers I would only wear them on nights out, I really want to wear them more often though... they cost enough!  So I'm slowly working up the courage to wear them during the day!   If you've got the disco pants, how do you dress them down to wear them during the day?  Or do you??  Let me know!  :)
