The Papery Love Box Review and Reveal

Hi guys! Happy Valentine's Day. Today I plan to share a special post with you - The Papery Love Box.

I decided to treat myself to this magical box to celebrate my new job - and I'm very glad I got it as a to-me-from-me treat.

Again - I got this as a once-off box, I will eventually get a subscription but for now, I do enjoy picking and choosing the ones I know will suit my style and personality the best.

So let's jump into the goodies in this magical box -

First off - these gorgeous cards with a vintage bike and girl biking. I adore the colour combos of these gorgeous cards and they are perfect to write a little love note.

Next up a sachet of some potpourri rose leaves. I'll be honest here - I'm extremely sensitive to the smell of flowers - but I re-gifted this to someone that will enjoy it 100 times more than I ever will.

Next up are these adorable love sticky notes. I love the design of these and I know I will reach for them over and over again. You get a total of three little packs all with different designs inspired by the theme of Love. Perfect for a little love note in a lunchbox.

Next up are Kores Graphite pencils. You get 6 in total. I love the Kores goodies we are getting - and these are perfect to pop into my work bag to take along. The design is metallic as well so it's practical and pretty gorgeous too.

I adore using stickers in my planner and journals - so this is a 100% win for me. Vintage flower-inspired stickers are perfect for Valentine's spread or just a gorgeous vintage-feel journal spread.

Mini little love-inspired notebooks - totally swoon-worthy. I love making little notes as I study or as I write down shopping lists or ideas for work. So these gorgeous ones will come in handy. My favourite one of course is the one with the Eifel-tower-inspired one.

I love these mini stickers inspired by stamps too. They give such a fun vintage feel and will be perfect to put on envelopes of love notes.

Next, is some gorgeous vintage flowers inspired envelopes. These are gorgeous and I seriously can't wait to use them.

And lastly this gorgeous love journal. These pages can be easily torn out to write love notes on and send in the envelopes - or keep them as special memories in the journal. Again - adore the design and can't wait to use them.

Overall if you adore journaling, cute stationery and overall planners - I can highly recommend these boxes - They will make a cute gift for a friend that adores them as a birthday gift or a little treat box.

Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer Review and Wear Test

Hi guys. Happy Monday. How was your weekend ?? Today I will be sharing my review on the Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer . I have worn this quite a few times since buying the product - so I have a pretty good idea how it preforms. The colour I got was a typical Lynette colour - The Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer in Donut Worry be Happy. This is such a gorgeous fun pink colour. The range does have quite a few colour options - and what I do like about the range is that no top coat is needed. So while I always top coat polish or gel polishes - I didn't when I tested this out. Since I did mention I have worn it quite a few times - I always wore it without top coat. The polish dries amazingly fast - and is dry enough to not make dent marks on it within 20 minutes. Which I think is pretty impressive for a polish without top coat. The brush is on the thicker side - making the polish super easy to apply. I prefer nailpolish brushes like this since it's mostly just one swipe on each ...

CATRICE TREATMENTS SERUM REVIEW

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. How was your week? I totally lost a day with the public holidays and Easter Weekend threw into the mix ... I was pretty convinced today was actually Tuesday. As I mentioned in my New on my Beauty Desk post in February - I got a few Catrice serums from their new range to try out. In total I picked up the Hydro serum as well - so today I will give you a rundown on the three serums I chose from the range to my routine. Overall - I have a pretty good idea of which ones I love - which ones are good and which ones I'm not 100% sold on. CATRICE HYDRO PLUMPING SERUM This serum contains 1.5 % hyaluronic acid and panthenol to plumps up the skin as well as have a soothing effect on the skin. Hyaluronic acid is well known to hydrate the skin and absorbs easily into the skin super quickly. I love using Hyaluronic Acid in the morning before applying make-up as it gives me a hydrated base to work with. Honestly, while I did enjoy using this serum - I d...
