Glossybox #4 - March 2012

The March Glossybox is also a Limited Edition one in a sleek white box. When I heard it would be a Harrods mystery box, I was expecting some different more luxury products than I have received before. I just find it funny that nearly every month I’ve been subscribed it is always a Limited Edition box, I’m not complaining though, the boxes come in different pretty colours. On the whole this box DISSAPOINTED me!

Here is what I got.

1. Versace Vanita’s Perfume (4.5ml Sample Size)

It smells quite nice and you can definitely smell the soft flowery notes and a spicy hint of lime. It is described as “A luxurious scent of rich and voluptuous fragrance with notes of tiare flower, lime and freesia”.

2. bliss Blood Orange & White Pepper Body Butter (50ml Size)

I don’t really like the scent of orange but blood orange is quite different and actually pleasant, especially mixed with white pepper. It is described as being “deeply moisturising, skin softening, naturally rejuvenating body butter in mouth-watering blood orange and white pepper”.

3. Révive Intense Crème Lustre SPF30 (7ml Sample Size)

I haven’t tried this yet because I wasn’t sure what it was at first, but it is a moisturiser so I will try it soon, although it’s not really marketed at me because it’s for saggy and wrinkly skin (I’m only 18!). It is described as “intense, firming moisturiser that helps to reduce the appearance of sagging skin”.

4. Lancôme Juicy Tube in Toffee (7ml Sample Size)

It seems like a nice colour, but there is way too much glitter in it so I cannot wear it. Plus I don’t like the smell of toffee and it is really sticky. It is just described as an “ultra-shiny hydrating lipgloss”.

5. Clarins Extra Firming Body Cream (30ml Sample Size)

I haven’t used it yet and I don’t think I will because it is aimed at saggy and wrinkly skin and I am a bit young to worry about that. It is described as “a formula rich in regenerating and firming plant extracts which restore the skins youthful density and elasticity”.

In the box you also received a Harrods Age-Defying Skincare booklet.

Boots Fragrance Sampler Gift Set for Her 2015

I decided to treat myself to this little fragrance set. As you know, I am a perfume addict and I’m quite addicted to collecting perfume samples too! It’s this year’s Boots Fragrance Sampler set for Her. I saw last year’s advertised but I always thought it was a little expensive for what you get. The set basically contains eight samples of Boots best-selling female fragrances by other brands. The set comes in a small, thin cardboard box and each sample is set inside a plastic insert. You also get a small fragrance guide and the voucher, which is what you’ll need to get your full size bottle of your favourite sample. The eight samples in this year’s set are:- HUGO BOSS - Boss Ma Vie This is a 2ml sample vile in pipette form and can be exchanged for a 30ml bottle of the eau de parfum. “Inspired by the independent spirit of a woman, exuding a glow of femininity and confidence. Created around the cactus blossom, aiming to reinvent and modernize floral green notes ...

Katie Price 'Stunning' Perfume VS JoJo Siwa 'Be You' Perfume - Are they the same?

I was browsing on AllBeauty.com and looking at celebrity fragrances and I saw that one was listed for JoJo Siwa. I had heard of JoJo before, but I don’t really know anything about her. I clicked on it out of interest and when I first saw the image of the perfume, I thought maybe the wrong photograph had been uploaded until I clicked on it and saw the description of the perfume. When I first saw the photograph, before I clicked on it to read the description, I instantly thought, that’s Stunning by Katie Price! I looked into it a bit more and compared it to Stunning. The JoJo Siwa “version” is called Be You. Photo Source: Perfume.com Stunning by Katie Price · Released in 2007 (12 years ago). · Contains the notes; Mandarin Orange, Jasmine & Patchouli. · Classed as a floral scent. · ...

Glossybox #19 - December 2015

I have been really looking forward to this box as I knew it would be rose gold themed. All the products were carefully selected by the Beauty Blogger ReallyRee, for this special looking limited edition Christmas box. Here is what I received:- être belle Golden Skin Caviar Eye Roll On | 10ml - £30.66 | This product is a bit odd and really doesn’t appeal to me at all! So Susan Statement Skin Highlighter Pencil in Starlight | 1.8g - £15.00 | This is a very strange colour and the cream shape is odd too. I am not interested in this product one bit. I prefer light pink highlighters and this is a yellow gold shade, not flattering at all for my skin tone! COLLECTION Long Lasting Nail Effects in Touch of Glamour (31) | 8ml - £2.99 | This nail polish looks really pretty and it is definitely my kind of shade (rose gold). I am looking forwarded to trying it on my nails. I think it would look beautiful on it’s own. Hylamide Pore Delete | 10ml - £18.00...
