Hey Lovelies
So I know I've been out of the blogging world for a while, I've been pretty busy working my 2 jobs.
Anyways I wanted to show you this beautiful nail colour. It's the perfect shade between maroon and plum and also the perfect transition colour to wear from autumn to winter. It's by Essie and it's called In Stitches (I received this in my luxe box)
What's your favourite Essie nail colour?

Want beauty samples????
So I received my July Luxebox *hooray*
They give you a small leaflet to tell you what is in the box and some information about the actual product which is always a nice touch and handy to know right?
It came nicely packaged, it's a really nice touch and shows that they care for the customers :) It definitely put a smile on my face to see it packaged so perfectly and creatively.
They try to customise your box to suit your skin type and needs. I'm not saying that everyone will get something different I just mean you may get a different shade to someone else depending on what you like.

Lets face it we all know it's annoying when you buy a full sized product and you end up hating it or it doesn't work for you for one reason or another. This monthly subscription allows you to try out different products without having that problem.
"Luxe Box is a new and exciting subscription service that delivers beauty products to you to try in the comfort of your own home."
I'm sure you're all aware of Birchbox (US) and Glossybox (UK) well I came across some blogposts about a Canadian version called Luxebox by Loosebutton.
I was very intrigued by this as it's such a unique idea. It's a monthly subscription of beauty samples in which you receive make up, skincare and hair care. It's $12 a month plus taxes which I think is a pretty good price for the amount you receive.
They send you 3-5 deluxe samples each month, now they are not tiny samples like the ones you get in Sephora or other shops that are aimed for 1- 2 uses, these deluxe samples can last up to a few weeks.

It's very good value for money and I'm thoroughly impressed with my first luxebox (so much that I've upgraded to the quarterly subscription) and will be telling my friends and my blogger friends about this company.
I wish they did the same thing as birchbox where you get points each time you purchase a birchbox and things are cheaper to buy on their site as opposed to the actual brand sites or the company sites....but hey you can't have everything :)
This is a great company who really cares about presentation and what their customers think about the products :)

Has anyone tried Luxe box....what did you think? Let me know if you got something different to me :)
I hope this post was helpful and I strongly recommend this subscription..... *Good job Luxebox*
*This months Luxebox was purchased by yours truly and all opinions are obviously my own*

OOTN......We run this world!
I went out with my friends last weekend to celebrate my best friend going back to England :(
It's been so nice having her here, it definitely reminded me of the old times :)
So here is what I wore
Dress: Some Indian Boutique in London
Belt: New Look
Shoes: Aldo
The dress was a lovely bright blue colour, it was a chiffon material with big blue pearl beads around the neckline. It's flowy but tight at the same time because it's a bubble hemline, I love this dress it's one of my favourites because it's unique and dressy enough to wear to any occasion.

Ins & Outs ♥
Hey Girls :)
I hope you're all doing well, it's been a while. Now I'm not going to apologize for not doing blog posts lately because this is a hobby for me not a job. I guess I was stuck in a rut with blogging and had no motivation or inspration to write blog posts. I was thinking about it and I would rather do a really good detailed blog post than loads of small undetailed posts.
I hope you guys understand and I'm sure you have felt the same way while blogging....lets face it everyone gets in a blogging rut sometimes and loses their mojo!
So here's a new post about things I'm loving at the minute :)
INS
♥ Summer is finally making an appearance in Canada... The past week has been so nice....I can't wait for more sun :)
♥ My best friend from England is coming to visit me....lots of memories to be made
♥ The Voice....I love this new tv show
♥ Pitbull- Give Me Everything ft. Neyo....I love this song and it's definitely catchy, it may even be the summer tune to remember
♥ Boscia Daily Moisture Moisturiser
♥ Clarisonic Mia
♥ Scouting for Girls....I've been listening to their older songs recently, it just reminds me of being at T4 on the beach. I miss those days!
OUTS
♥ All the good Tv shows have ended :( Boo to season finales.
♥ A full face of make- up....I'm not down for that now it's starting to get hotter. Tinted Moisturiser all the way :)
Wow I guess I'm not hating much this month

I'm So Proud to be British!
Today was the day that people have been talking about for months and months......
THE ROYAL WEDDING......... People have been speculating what Kate's dress would look like, 'how she would do her hair and make up'.
I personally think she looked stunning and very princess esque, her dress was very elegant and feminine and I think it suited her as well.
This was the dress she wore for the evening reception, both her wedding and evening dress were by the late Alexander Mcqueen and are equally stunning although I prefer the evening dress just because I love big flowy dresses. Her sister's dress was also by Alexander Mcqueen.....Go British designers :)

I didn't catch the whole wedding as it was aired live at 4/5am in Canada but I watched the main highlights :) I kind of wish I went back home to Oxford or London because I think the atmosphere would be amazing there right now, everyone would be on a natural high.
Did you watch The Royal Wedding and what were your thoughts on her dress?
Congratulations Will and Kate, it was definitely an enjoyable thing to watch on TV...agreed?
