Glossybox #9 - April 2014

You may have noticed that last Friday I posted about my June 2014 Glossybox, well the day after I received that one, my free box came and I am annoyed! I was led to believe from the e-mail that the free box would be July, but instead I received the April 2014 box! I noticed that a few people were annoyed too, but Glossybox insist they promised a free past box, not the limited edition 4th July box! Anyway, here is what I got in this box:-
EMITE MAKE UP Lip Brush (L312)
| £17 – EmiteMakeUp.com |
I’ve not heard of this brand before and it is an odd shaped lip brush. I will definitely try it out and I can’t believe how expensive it is!

MONU Spa Warming Ginger Massage & Body Oil
| £26 (100ml) – MonuShop.co.uk |
This brand is too new to me and I’m not really into oils. I will however give this a go because it smells lovely.

MeMeMe Cosmetics Beat The Blues in Pearl Pink
| £5.50 (12ml) – MeMeMeCosmetics.co.uk |
I have heard of this brand and my local Superdrug used to sell it. I was interested in buying this exact product and then my Superdrug discontinued the brand, but I can now try it. It reminds me so much of my beloved Benefit High Beam.

TRESemmé Instant Refresh Cleansing Dry Shampoo
| £4.99 (200ml) – Tresemme.co.uk |
I have used this brand for years and I don’t mind trying a new dry shampoo. It doesn’t really smell like you would expect, but I will be interested to test it on my oily hair!

Unica Cosmetics Radiance Plus
Bergamot & Lavender
| £12.95 (50ml) – UnicaCosmetics.com |
This brand is completely new to me and the product does smell nice. I will give it a go, seeing as though I am always shopping around for new face moisturisers to try.

Although I am disappointed that this is the free box, this box is actually quite nice. Not as good as June’s box, but there is products here that I will use. I am keeping my subscription still though because I really want July’s box, even if I have to pay for it!

What are your thoughts on this 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...
