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.

My Eye Primers: The Verdict!

It has taken me a long time to put this altogether, but I have finally done it! I decided I wanted to share my thoughts on eye primers I had tried and it turned out that I had ten, so I thought I would test them and find out which one worked best for me. I have split them into two categories (High End/Low End) and I aim to rank them from #1 to #10 on which is the longest wearing. Let’s look at the primers I will be testing. HIGH END URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION PRICE: £17.50 SIZE: 10ml SHADES: Original, Anti-ageing, Freebase, Eden, Fix, Minor Sin, Sin and Caffeine APPLICATION: Squeeze tube without a nozzle, but also has a sponge stick applicator PROMISES: Non-creasing, gives you vibrant eyeshadows WHERE TO BUY: UrbanDecay.co.uk (UK) & Sephora (USA) I like to think that this primer is my favourite as I love the packaging (purple is my favourite colour). It is potion bottle inspired and it is the first primer I remember ever seeing and wanting. The packa...

Perfume Power! - Next 'Paradise'

I first smelt this perfume after receiving it in a mini gift set about ten years ago and I have loved it ever since. This 100ml size is my first bottle of it though, other than the tester/sample size. The bottle is quite tall and it is a sort of clutch bag shape if you turn it on its side. The bottle is a simple design and you can easily see how much perfume you have. On mine the spray pump sometimes gets stuck in the band around the neck of the bottle, but the problem is easily solved. I can’t find a specific note list anywhere for this perfume, but on Next’s site it is described as, "a light fruity fragrance with white florals and green notes". To me it smells really fruity and fresh. It is also multifunctional because it is quite strong and sexy, so perfect for a night out, but it is also not too overpowering and smells fresh and fruity enough for day time wear. It is actually an eau de toilette, which means that it is less concentrated, but I find that it is st...
