Glossybox #7 - February 2014

I saw an advertisement for this particular box and I instantly fell in love with the design, so I had to re-subscribe straight away to get it. The box design looks just as lovely in person and I will keep it and re-use it for storage. Here is what I got in this box:-
Ciaté Paint Pot in Play Date
This product is full size and it is a gorgeous bold pop pink shade with a touch of coral in a crème finish. Mine didn’t come with the cute bow decoration, but it is still a distinctive and cute design, unlike any other polish I own. The colour however is similar to what I already own, but I still love it and will definitely wear it.
13.5ml | £9

H2K Je t’adore Aromatic Shampoo & Sensual Hydrating Conditioner
I’ve never of this brand before and the products smell lovely. I am just not into hair care or trying new products on my hair, so I will probably give these to my sister.
30ml & 40ml | £2.48

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in 725 Tantalizing Taupe
This lipstick is part of the new Stripped Nudes collection and it is a slightly beige/taupe pink nude shade. It is not typically a shade of lipstick I would choose, but I will give it a try as it is my first Maybelline lipstick ever!
2.5g | £6.99

Nougat Sparkling Body Shimmer
I have not heard of this brand before either and this particular product doesn’t interest me at all. I dislike body butters/lotions anyway, so why would I go and use a glittery one? I will probably give this away.
100ml | £14 (250ml)

Sleep In Rollers Backcombing Brush
This is something I have never tried before and I am not sure I want to, but I suppose I should give it a go! If I change my mind, my sister can have this too.

Lindt Lindor Treat Bar
I don’t eat Lindt chocolate because Cadbury’s is the BEST! This chocolate bar was not bad, it is very rich and it melts in your mouth. One bar was definitely enough though! I probably wouldn’t go out and buy it, but it was a nice added extra and Valentine’s treat.
38g | 79p

You also get the February 2014 Edition on Glossy Magazine, which is a first for me and not typically something I would be interested in, but it is a good addition.

Overall I wasn’t really impressed. The only product I would actually use is the nail polish; I already ate the chocolate bar! I gave the majority of the products to my sister because she would get more use out of them. I’ve said before, hair care products are wasted on me because I have no interest and I have to use particular products. I only subscribed to this one box and this box hasn’t made me want to re-subscribe completely. I may re-subscribe again when the next ‘special’ box is due, but other than that, I will not miss Glossybox, sorry!

What did you think of this month’s box?

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. ·       ...

Swatches: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils

Milk (604) - cream, bold & opaque matte white Yoghurt (611) - frosty, light champagne copper These pencils are really creamy and the shade selection is brilliant. I chose two basic shades, one to be a light base and the other to be a highlight. They do crease and can become messy, as you have to sharpen them. Overall they are ok, but I wouldn’t re-purchase them! £5 | NYXcosmetics.co.uk What do you think of these shades? ♥ ♥ ♥

Perfume Power! - DKNY 'Be Delicious'

Photo:  FashionDayDreams.com My Mum went to a car boot sale and found this and bought it. My Mum didn’t like it so she gave it to my sister and then my sister gave it to me. The bottle is a sphere shape inspired by an apple. On the smaller sizes the cap is basic like on most perfumes and is made of silver reflective plastic. The bottle base is made of translucent bottle green glass. On the bigger sizes the cap doesn’t come off and it is the actual dispenser, so when you press it down the perfume sprays. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Grapefruit, Cucumber & Magnolia Middle Notes: Tuberose, Rose, Lily-of-the-Valley, Violet & Green Apple Base Notes: Sandalwood, Amber & Wood This perfume smells fruity, floral and fresh and the apple scent really stands out. It is also quite a strong scent, but it is not overpowering. I also think that it is quite universal as it is not sweet. Lastly because the scent is quite strong, it lasts quite a long time...
