February Glossy Box




 Very late post on February’s Glossy Box I know, but I thought I’d post it as I needed to vent. I wasn’t very impressed with last month’s box. The February Box was all about Fashion Week and the five products in the box were ‘essentials’ to keep you looking good through the week, yet all the products in the box to me didn’t seem like the types of products you would take around in your handbag as an essential.


The Duwop Lip gloss, fair enough but the magic liquid soap and body lotion really? I liked the Duwop lip gloss as it’s a nude colour you can wear over nude lipsticks, or on its own to give a glossy finish. Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Relaxing Balm was another one of my favourites out of this month’s box, as it smells gorgeous and I always trying out new hair products.The shade I received in the Mineral Eye shadow was ‘Platinum Tiara', it’s a nice purple shade yet I don’t really use eye shadows at all. If you hate the smell of lavender, you wouldn’t like the Como Shambhala body lotion and the magic liquid soap I haven’t used yet but keen to try out. 

Sorry Glossy Box but I wasn’t too impressed with the February box, looking forward to this month’s limited addition box!

What did you think of February’s Glossy box?

These are just a few ideas on how you could style 3 different types of bold prints throughout the summer. I'm also going to continue the "how to style" posts regularly so if there is anything in particular you would like to see how to style please let me know and please do comment on your favorites.

Week In Photos




As you guys know my laptop has been broken for at least 2 weeks now and I'm still waiting for my new one to arrive so that is why I haven't post for about 10 years, but also I just came back from 5 days in Paris last night so I was determined that I was going to find a way to do a blog post at some point. These are just a few pictures from the week.

# My Glossy Box also came this morning which i'm very excited about doing a small review/post on. This months box is all about London Fashion Week.      

# Paris was amazing, I went with my university/university friends and we had so much fun drinking cocktails and enjoying site seeing, it was cold and raining and the hotel wasn't very nice but hey, we still had a great time.

# I really hope that I can get an outfit post or what i've brought for this month as I really miss blogging, all I have to do is find some way to post.

I Hope everybody had a lovely weekend !

Love

Apologies

Hey all, I just wanted to do a quick post saying sorry for the lack of posts this week and for next week too. This week has just gone from bad to worst :( and my laptop has completely packed up on me. I refuse to pay for it to be fixed yet again so I ordered a new laptop last night! So I'm stuck with the iPad now for blog browsing and as soon as I can get to a computer to upload there will be a post. Bare with me :( I hope you all had/have a lovely weekend. Love Laurenbehappy. Xxxx

January Favourites


TOPSHOP Lipstick in Nevada 
love this nude shade, this lipstick has a velvet finish and smells gorgeous. Definitely my go to lipstick at the moment.

MURAD Skin Perfecting Primer Dewy Finish
 I’ve only used this primer on occasions as it is one of the best primers I’ve used so far. I feel it leaves my make-up looking flawless and I love that it’s a dewy finish and not a matte finish as they usual make my skin look dryer.


SIMPLE Replenishing Rich Moisturiser
 I prefer this one to the light moisturiser as I have dry skin it’s like the rich moisturiser helps tackle that a lot more than the light one. This is a constant re-purchase as it keeps my face moist and soft throughout most of the day.

SIMPLE Spotless Skin Blackhead Eliminating Facial Scrub 
I’m so devastated, I went to re-purchase this recently as this scrub is amazing for getting rid of all the impurities and I think they have discontinued it. I love simple products has there one of the few products that don’t irritate my skin. So if anybody knows where to get this from again, please please let me know! 


THE BODY SHOP Almond Body Butter
I’ve always quite liked the body shops body butters but being £12 each I’ve always found something else to spend my money on but since the have had a sale I thought I’d pick one up and I remember why I love their products so much. This body butter is quite heavy but it’s smells so nice and is really good to use when getting out of the shower for you knees and elbows ect.


SOAP & GLORY Flake Away Body Polish 
Smells amazing and does everything it says on the tin.
