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.

O.P.I Breakfast at Tiffany's Mini Mani Month Set

I heard that O.P.I would be releasing a Breakfast at Tiffany’s Collection and I was really interesting in trying some shades, so when I was browsing the O.P.I website and came across this set, I snapped it up straight away! The packaging is like a white and lilac fashion book and it has a beauty advent calendar vibe. It is a sort of alternative to a beauty calendar. There are five rows with five shades covering two sides of the book. You can open the windows that cover the shades, but it will reveal all five shades, which is why it doesn’t quite pass as a calendar. Plus, you can’t actually take the bottles out like you would a beauty/chocolate calendar. You have to open the sides of the book and pull out the five separate plastic trays which hold the bottles. There seems to be a lot of wasted packaging this way. You get twenty-five 3.75ml bottles of Nail Lacquer and the set contains new shades from the Breakfast at Tiffany’s Collection, and some old favourites already pa...

GUCCI Mini Perfume Gift Set

Today I am going to review a perfume gift set that I bought from Boots.com during their Boxing Day sales 2014. It is the GUCCI Miniatures Gift Set and it was exclusively sold in Boots stores and on Boots.com. I love the concept of mini perfume sets and it’s a shame that not more brands do them! You get to sample more scents from brands, and if there is a certain perfume you are interested in, you would be able to sample it before potentially wasting your money buying a full size bottle of a scent you might not like. In this particular set you get five (5ml) mini fragrances to sample and I actually already bought a full size of the Guilty scent, but waited until I got this set to test it! A big gamble I know, but it did pay off this time! Here are the five miniature bottles of scents included:- FLORA BY GUCCI The bottle is so cute and with a little ribbon bow too. The notes contained in this little bottle are; citrus, peony, mandarin, osmanthus, rose, sandalwood, patchouli and ...

Serial Sampler #33

I once sent off for a perfume sample from Lancôme on Facebook and periodically they still send me samples of their new perfume releases. I received this one a while ago (ages after it first launched), but I have only just got around to testing it. It is Idôle by Lancôme and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. Launched: 2019 Type: Floral Notes Top: Pear and Bergamot. Middle: Turkish Rose, Rose de Mai and Indian Jasmine. Base: White Musk and Vanilla. It is a really light spring time floral scent. It isn’t too mature smelling and it is not overpowering. It reminds me of the Gucci Flora and Hugo Boss Ma Vie perfumes a little. I can really smell the Bergamot, Rose, Jasmine and Musk notes. It is a fresh floral scent and would be good for day time wear. I do really like it, although it isn’t my typical choice of scent. I personally won’t be buying a bottle of it, but I would recommend it and buy it for someone as a gift. You can purchase the L...
