Glossybox #6 - May 2012

Happy Birthday!
This month is Glossybox’s birthday, so I have received their birthday box yesterday! You get your five products, as usual and two extras, a double sided pocket mirror and a pink Happy Birthday balloon! So let’s get into what I got.
NOBLE ISLE Summer Rising Bath & Shower Gel
- 75ml Sample Size
The beauty card says that this is, “An immaculate fragrance evoking the beginnings of summer”. It smells really nice and it reminds me of a Lion King perfume I had when I was a child.

Lolita Lempicka Perfume Samples
Lolita Lempicka & Si Lolita
- 8ml Sample Size’s
The full size bottles for these perfumes are very cute indeed, as are the little samples I got, but I have to say they are not my kind of scents at all, because they smell like they would be for more mature women, but I will use them up.

Lolita Lempicka is the stronger smelling of the two in a violet coloured vile and strikes me as more of a night time kind of scent; it is described as being a floral scent with liquorice flower, which is why it smells quite strong and musky. I couldn’t wear this on an everyday basis, because it reminds me a bit of the Pink Sugar perfume, which makes me feel sick.

Si Lolita is the lighter more natural smelling of the two in a light pink coloured vile and is more of a day scent. It is definitely a floral scent because you can really smell the sweet pea, which comes across a bit spicy. I think this is the one I prefer the most out of the two.

APIVITA Express Beauty Masks with Orange
- 8ml Sample Size’s
I haven’t tried these out yet, but I will do eventually. The masks are supposed to enhance the antioxidant action with their green tea infusion and they do not contain water. Overall

OSMO Berber Oil Hair Treatment
- 10ml Sample Size
This is a hair oil, which contain argon oil and it says it is suitable for all types of hair. It is supposed to nourish dry and damaged hair. It smells quite nice, like Haribo Gummy Bears, but because it is oil I cannot use it, because it may be suitable for all hair, but putting an oil product on oily hair doesn’t make sense to me.

Eldora False Eyelashes in B144
- Full Size
These are really nice looking lashes. People were complaining about which ones they received, because apparently there were glittery/drag queen ones, which obviously people weren’t into. So I am glad I got the most ‘natural’ pair. I do not wear fake eye lashes, but I will try these one day, but they are quite flimsy, so I think I would struggle a lot, but on the plus side, they already come with glue and they are quite inexpensive.

This was sadly my last box though, as I have now un-subscribed, because I am getting bored of them now! I will be doing a post about my experience as a whole very soon, so look out for that!

Lauren Luke Set of 8 Essential Brushes

I have had this brush set for close to two years now and I can’t believe that it has taken me so long to review it. This brush set is by Lauren Luke and she wanted to create brushes that she would use herself and be well made, but not too expensive. When I bought my set the shipping cost was £1.99 (UK), but it may have changed. Large Powder Brush – £6.50 This brush is supposed to be brilliant for applying foundation, bronzer, blush and highlighter. The bristles are 185mm in length and made of goat hair. This is one of my favourite brushes from the set and it is jam packed with bristles, but it is so soft!  It is the perfect size too, because the head is relatively large but the shorter handle makes it sit well. It works well for any powder product and for sweeping away fall out from eyeshadows. The bristles enable you to pick up quite a bit of product, so if you are using colour don’t be heavy handed. I do not recommend using it for cream based products as it can...

ZOEVA Rose Golden Palette

I saw this palette a while ago on a beauty blog and instantly knew I had to have it. It’s not long launched here in the UK, but it’s already a cult favourite! I just adore the packaging, everything about it! It’s made out of cardboard, but it feels sturdy and durable and it is a gorgeous kind of coffee/red velvet chocolate colour. It has a beautiful rose gold design on the front, with swirls and then a centered key. It has a magnetic closing, which is quite strong because if you hold it from the top when closed and give it a shake, the two parts don’t separate (palette doesn’t open). It has a light feel in general and inside it’s all one beautiful colour and the eyeshadows are well spaced. Around each pan is a rose gold diamond border and underneath in small rose gold letters are the shade names. On the back of the palette is the usual ingredients and other information blurbs. You get ten full size eyeshadows (0.5oz) with matte, metallic or satin finishes and each has a cute...

HUDA BEAUTY Purple Haze Obsessions Palette

I’ve previously only tried one HUDA BEAUTY mini palette before, but this one really caught my eye. I almost bought the Khaki version too. I eventually decided on only picking up the purple one as I wasn’t massively impressed with the Topaz Obsessions Palette I previously tried.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is made of translucent purple plastic and it is square shaped. It just has the palette branding across the front in place of a design and it has a clip closing, which you lift up to reveal the square eyeshadow pans arranged in threes across an opaque matte purple base. The eyeshadows do not have names. There is also a little mirror on the underside of the lid. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get nine 0.64g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME) and Shimmery Topper (ST) finishes.   ·          Smokey Shades ·          Buttery Mattes ·          Intense Metal...
