Glossybox #3 - February 2012

Today I finally got their regular Glossybox, in the really light pink box, when I first saw it I thought it was white! It definitely looks very sleek. But I got shower gel, yet again!

Here is what I got.
1.    DUWOP Venom Gloss in Buttercup (5ml Sample Size)
It is a really pretty colour, but it was barely noticeable on my lips, plus I don’t like plumping glosses because of the plumping tingling sensation.

Visit www.shop.duwop.com and get 20% off any full sized Venom Gloss by entering the code GlossyVG12. (Expires 31/03/2012)

2.    IMPRESS Press-on Manicure in Holla! (Full Size)
I am yet to try these out, but the pattern is really lovely. I suspect that they may be too small for some of my nails though! You also get a nail prep pad, to prep your nail before you start pressing the nails on.

3.    AWAPUHI by PAUL MITCHELL Wild Ginger Treatment Oil (25ml Size)
I haven’t tried this yet because I am a bit dubious, because my hair is really oily and this is an oil based product, and it doesn’t make sense to add more oil to oily hair!!! I might read about it a bit more and then maybe give it a go! It is worth £7.50!


4.    BM BEAUTY Pure Mineral Eyeshadow in Dusty Road (1g Sample Size)
I haven’t tried this yet because loose eyeshadows are quite messy. The thing about single eyeshadows in beauty boxes is that you may not get the colour you like, but I definitely love this colour and I will try this soon. It has very good pigment and it is also sparkly and shimmery, so it should make a good lid colour.


5.    COMO SHAMBHALA Invigorative Shower Gel (50ml Sample Size)
I have used this and it smells really nice and fresh. You can definitely smell the eucalyptus, geranium, lavender and peppermint in it. It also lavers really well too.


You can also get 15% off tickets for London Fashion Week by quoting the code: GLOSSYBOX.

Serial Sampler #39

I have another perfume sample to share today. Again, I can’t remember how long I have had this one, but I know I haven’t smelled it before. I always mean’t to test it sooner, but didn’t for reason, so now is the time!   It is Olympéa by Paco Rabanne and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ The divine perfume with a fresh oriental signature; it’s sparkling green tangerine top notes reveal a unique salty vanilla accord. Then it’s addictive heart of captivating jasmine and ginger Lilly scents unveils a sensual ambergris and cashmere wood base ” Launched: 2015   Type: Oriental Floral / Feminine Notes Top: Water Jasmine, Green Mandarin and Ginger Flower. Middle: Vanilla and Salt. Base: Cashmere Wood, Ambergris and Sandalwood. I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this fragrance, I assumed it would smell like an ‘old lady’ floral but I was very wrong. It smells quite sensual and it is a perfect example of a deep oriental floral scent. I can really s...

e.l.f Earth & Ocean Palette

I haven’t purchased anything from e.l.f in the longest time. I happened upon a post of this palette on Instagram and the complimentary comments really peaked my interest in trying it for myself. Palettes I have tried from e.l.f. in the past haven’t been the greatest of quality; I kind of associate the brand as being for children, beginners or natural beauty wearers. I was also interested in the Retro Paradise Palette , but I thought I would get more use out of this one at the moment.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is quite simple with a clear/black outlined plastic rectangular shape. The fronting is transparent so that you can see the eyeshadows from the outside of the palette. It has a clip closing, which you push apart to reveal the inside. The square eyeshadow pans are spread out across a black base and the shade names are printed in grey font under each pan. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.94g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Glitter (G), Satin (S) and Shi...

HUDA BEAUTY The New Nude Palette

I currently own all four of the big HUDA BEAUTY palettes, and I fell for the colour story of this one as soon as I saw it. The designs for the bigger palettes always look stunning! THE PACKAGING The packaging is quite simple and made of nude pink cardboard, but it has Huda’s face on the front. Huda’s eyes are closed and it looks like she is wearing a fascinator, which is covering part of her face. The palette has a magnetic closing and you just lift it up to reveal the mirror and square eyeshadow pans. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen eyeshadows with a net weight of 19.7g in Matte (M), Reflective (R), Glitter (G), Pressed Pearl (PP) and Cream Base (CB) finishes. ·         Insane Pigmentation ·         Flatter any skin tone ·         Cruelty-Free   THE SHADES & SWATCHES Stripes Double 18 Pan by SwatchPerfect.co.uk Bare - soft pinky peach ...
