Glossybox #5 - April 2012

My April Glossybox arrived this morning, well I had to fetch it because the stupid postman left it in front of my front gate and left the gate wide open, so I’m surprised someone didn’t take it! It is another limited edition box, I’ve only received one regular box since I’ve been subscribed. This box is their Natural Beauty Box, with natural and organic beauty products only and the actual glossybox box is bio-degradable, so it is Earth friendly.
CAUDALIE Vinosource SOS Thirst-Quenching Serum
- 10ml Sample Size
The beauty card says that this product is a “newly-launched ultra-concentrated serum” and is “plant-based, ensuring your skin never lacks moisture”. This product smells really nice, but I’m not sure that it is something I would incorporate into my face routine, but I’ll look into what a serum actually is and what the benefits are, so I will be trying it soon! It is a 10ml size, but Caudalie samples are never how much they say they are I’ve had a sample before and there was literally one tiny bead of product, much less than what it said was inside.

INIKA Certified Organic Eyeliner in Purple Minx
- 1.2g Sample Size
This product is described as having “a rich and creamy consistency unparalleled in the world of natural liners”. Mine came in a box that said the shade was Black Caviar, but when I opened it and saw it was purple I thought, what? But on the side of the actual pencil it says Purple Minx. It is a dark plum purple colour and is quite creamy, but I have creamier eyeliners that are not organic.

ayuuri Natural Body Wash in Coconut
- 200ml Full Size
The beauty card says, “The Ayuuri Natural skincare range is based on fruit, plant and flower extracts that have long been used in India to enhance skin’s natural beauty”. This product smells quite nice and I don’t like coconut, but the jasmine and aloe vera balance it out for me, so I like it.


Figs & ROUGE Lip Balm in Rambling Rose
- 8ml Full Size
It is described as being a “100% pure, 100% natural and 100% organic multi-purpose balm. Excellent for soothing and naturally hydrating dry lips and skin”. I really love the smells of this and the tin is quite cute too, although the product is quite soft and creamy, not like a Vaseline lip balm in a tin.

kai Perfume Oil
- 1.5ml Sample Size
This perfume is described as an “intoxicating signature perfume oil fragranced with Kai’s light, intoxicating blend of gardenia wrapped in white exotics”. It smells quite nice, fresh and really natural. It lasts a few hours on the skin; I would not personally wear this if I didn’t have the sample to use up.

Overall I was quite impressed with this box; definitely a thousand times better than the Harrods box last month!

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 ...

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Jawbreaker Palette

I bought this palette back when it first launched (summer 2019) and I was interested in it so I could experiment more with bright colours. The colour selection definitely doesn’t disappoint and I was expecting it to be the same quality as the Blood Sugar Palette, if not slightly better! The packaging is quite a large rectangular shape and made out of metallic pink cardboard with colourful dots/dashes all over representing a jawbreaker pattern. The name of the palette is in a slightly raised font. It has a magnetic closing which you lift to reveal the twenty-four eyeshadow pans arranged on a white background. The other side is the same pattern as the front cover with a mirror. You can purchase it for £54.00 ($58.00) from JeffreeStarCosmetics.com and BeautyBay.com. You get twenty-four 1.50g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Shimmer (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes.

This is the last ever declutter post I will be sharing with you. I have lost interest in really experimenting with my make-up looks so I thought it was time for another declutter.

The brands of products I have decluttered are; BECCA, Benefit, Kaleidos, MAC and theBalm.   EYES Single Powder Eyeshadows - 9 Single Cream Eyeshadows - 3 Single Liquid Eyeshadows - 1   That is a total of 13 eye products.
