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.

Empties #10 - August & September 2013

I have combined two month’s worth of empties again. At the end of August my box wasn’t that full, so I decided to carry on collecting and hope I use up more stuff. The majority of stuff I used up was necessities as usual, but there are some extra bits too. Here is what I managed to use up within two months:- Morrisons So Clear Dual Action Moisturiser | 100ml I have used another tube of this and have already re-purchased it. It works really well and doubles as a hand cream and most importantly, it is very inexpensive. Price - £1.49 Listerine Total Care Mouthwash in Clean Mint (Purple) | 500ml This is my favourite mouthwash and I have already re-purchased it. Although I get it for around £2.99, I still wish it was cheaper. Price - £4.60 Right Guard Women Total Defence 5 48H Invisible Power Anti-Perspirant Deodorant | 150ml + 250ml I have used more of these as usual and I still haven’t found anything that is better. I have however found a cheaper place to buy it f...

Oden's Eye Solmåne Eyeshadow Palette

I first heard of this indie brand through watching Angelika Oles’ beauty channel on YouTube. Oden’s Eye is a Swedish indie brand and they make Norse mythology themed products. This is one of two eyeshadow palettes I decided to purchase; I also picked up the two matching highlighter palettes.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is small and rectangular in shape. It is made out of cardboard and it has a sort of textured covering (like on pogs). The design and imagery is so unique to the brand. Solmåne means the sun and moon in Swedish. Sol represents the Sun Goddess and Måne represents the Moon God. Both Gods are represented on the packaging. There is a colour split of warm and cool toned shades (lavender, pink, orange & yellow) along with moon, star and Norse symbols. The wheel around the Gods is metallic gold, so it really reflects the light when you move the palette around. The eyeshadow shade names are printed on the back of the palette. The palette has a magnetic closing/opening, ...

Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Palette

I first saw a preview of this palette in early August on the Trendmood Instagram page. I just knew I had to have it. I also own and love the Gingerbread Spice and Gingerbread Extra Spicy Palettes by Too Faced. These are the only types of holiday palettes that actually interest me from Too Faced. All of their other holiday palettes tend to be gimmicky (but pretty looking) and not good quality. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a rounded rectangular shaped tin in a beautiful pumpkin orange colour. The design on the front kind of looks like spread on a cracker. The name of the palette is printed in two different raised fonts. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The little rectangular eyeshadow pans are arranged across a metallic gold base, with the shade names printed in a small black font above each pan. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid of the palette. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.70g eyeshadows in Matte (M),...
