Glossybox #1 - December 2011

As you can tell I recently subscribed to the Glossybox. I actually thought I was getting the January 2012 box, but apparently I was too early for that and got sent the Limited Edition December 2011 box, which by the way I am happy with.

Glossybox are a website which you can subscribe to for £12.95 (UK) a month and receive a box containing 5 luxury samples of beauty products that may not be widely available in your country or maybe too expensive for you to even consider trying.

I received the Limited Edition December 2011 box, which is red instead of pink. And I got 5 items, and 2 were full sized. All of the products in the box are useful to me apart from the cream, but other than that, this box has definitely got me to stay subscribed to see what the January box has to offer.

1. BLINK+Go Hi-Definition Mascara in Black (8g Full Size)

I haven’t tried this out yet but I am expecting good things. The beauty card, that comes with every glossybox says this mascara makes your lashes “Longer, thicker, sexier. Give your natural lashes a stunning flake – free, waterproof boost”.

Visit www.blinkandgo.co.uk and click on the Glossy Pod to receive 25% off any Blink+Go Eyeshadow and Blush Duo or Mascara when entering the code Glossy4 at the checkout. (Expires 31/01/2012)

2. CARGO COSMETICS Classic Lipgloss in Serengeti (0.45g Sample Size)

I have tried this out and the colour is quite shear and the formula is not sticky and it is very shiny with small glitters. I quite like this product but it is not something I would personally buy, also there is not much product in the tube, as expected for sample size. The beauty card says “Cargo’s new Lip Gloss formulation! Perfect shades, great wear and high-shine without being sticky”.

3. DEBORAH LIPPMANN Nail Varnish in Razzle Dazzle (Sample Size)

- And A sachet of The Stripper to Go Nail Varnish Remover Mitts (1 Mit)

I have tried this on one nail and although the colour is really pretty, you need quite a few coats on your nail, which is not so good! I haven’t tried out the mitt just yet! The beauty card says “Party glitter nail colour with a sachet of the most amazing polish remover finger nail mitt”.

Go to www.houseoffraser.co.uk/ and search Deborah Lippmann to view the full range.

4. JURLIQUE Age Defying Ultra Firm and Lift Cream (5ml Sample Size)

I haven’t tried this yet and it is the only item from this box that I consider useless for me, because it is an anti-ageing cream and I am barely a legal adult. Nether-the-less I might just use it up. The beauty card says “A high-performance anti-ageing cream designed to help promote the regeneration of elastin, collagen and new skin cells.

Visit www.jurlique.co.uk to receive 15% off the range when entering the code GLOSSY15. (Expires 31/01/2012)

5. RITUALS Foaming Shower Gel in Zensation (200ml Full Size)

I haven’t used this yet but I have smelt it and it smells amazing and I can’t wait to use it, and hey, it is full size! It is my favourite item from this box so far. The beauty card says “This unique foaming shower gel gently cleanses your skin and leaves it silky soft and smooth”.

Receive £5 off with any purchase over £25 with presentation of this barcode (beauty card) in any UK Rituals store. Not valid in department stores or online. Not to be used in conjunction with any other offer.1 Per Person. (Expires 29/02/2012)

Impulsive Spraying....

Spray me, I’m Impulsive.... This is a review on canned body sprays I have tried and some I still have because I love them. I was initially going to just review the Impulse ones, but I decided to include the Wilko’s ones too as a less expensive option, plus I love one of them. Impulse Impulse is a perfume deodorant/body spray brand, which is part of the Unilever brand of products. It was first launched in 1972 in South Africa, but only launched in the UK in 1981. They have a wide range of scents compatible for all females of all ages. I have also tried Very Pink , but I used it up a while ago and didn’t want to re-purchase it just for this review, but it was a very nice scent, but not one I would re-purchase. I have also tested a Hint of Musk , when I was younger and I didn’t like it! I have also got two other one’s to try, which I will do a separate review on and they are Loving Words and Love Puzzle . True Love I first knew of this scent when I received it in a gift...

Graze - Box #6

Welcome to my second Graze delivery of the year. I was quite excited when I first opened it, even though I have tried one of the treats before. A closer look at my treats. Cracking Black Pepper Cashews “Black pepper cashews, roasted cashews & redskin peanuts” I have had cashews before and they are not my favourite, but the black pepper completely changes them and they are actually quite nice and the flavour is not too overpowering. I am not keen on the roasted cashews because they don’t really taste of anything and the bit of flavour they do have is very dry. Lastly, the peanuts are kind of strange. They kind of taste soily and dry, therefore I don’t like these. My Thai “Sweet chilli sauce with baked soy bites” This was my first experience of this one and you can really smell the soy on the bites and they have a funny texture, but are really yummy. I didn’t try the chilli sauce because I didn’t like the scent and I am not big on sauces anyway. ...

Graze - Box #9

Another graze box! A few new treats in this box and a couple of old favourites mixed in. A closer look at my treats. Mumbai Masala “Masala cashews, baked curry bites and spicy chickpeas” The cashews tasted really good and it was like eating a masala curry! The curry bites were amazing. They were not very spicy and I just like the texture of these kinds of bites. They are not as good as the soy ones though! The chickpeas were surprisingly ok. They didn’t really taste spicy and they are quite crunchy and hollow. Honeycomb Flapjack “Rustic rolled oat flapjack with honeycomb and milk chocolate” I have had this before and it is very nice and light. Cheddar Gorge “Cheese cashews, salsa corn sticks & herb crackers” I have had this before too and it is one of my favourite snack packets overall! Oven Roasted Salt & Vinegar Nut Selection “Salt and vinegar almonds and peanuts” The peanuts taste a lot like the regular salted k...
