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?

Glamour Magazine - July 2013

Yesterday I picked up the new edition of Glamour Magazine, well three copies of them actually! It is the July 2013 edition and you get a choice of five free MODEL CO products and four different magazine covers ( Rebel Wilson , Zooey Deschanel , Myleene Klass & Daniel Radcliffe ). I have never heard of the MODEL CO brand before, but judging by their website, they are marketed as high end. I’m not sure what size the items in the magazines are, but I have listed the full sizes and prices below. FIBRE LASHXTEND Mascara - £28 SHINE Ultra Lip Gloss in Strip Tease - £12 SHINE Ultra Lip Gloss in Showgirl Red - £12 COLOURBOX Eye Pencil in Black 01 - £14 LIP ENHANCER Illusion Lip Liner - £16 I decided to pick up two copies because this month’s edition is £1 instead of £2. I got the FIBRE LASHXTEND Mascara and COLOURBOX Eye Pencil in Black 01 .  When I got home and I opened them, I soon realised the eyeliner box was empty! L All the plastic packaging was inta...

Anastasia Beverly Hills Riviera Palette

This palette has been around for a while now and I always thought it looked stunning, but I just didn’t buy it. I recently decluttered my make-up collection and I allowed myself to get this palette (I almost bought the Amrezy one instead). I didn’t know it was still available and I found it purely by chance. I thought when it was first released it was classed as a limited edition product! The packaging is the usual ABH slim rectangle shape and it is wrapped in a sort of sparkly blue and white striped denim material. The palette and brad names are printed in a sparkly gold font. The palette has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. There is a small mirror and the square eyeshadow pans are spread out across a metallic azure blue base, with the shade names printed in a small gold font. You can purchase this palette for £46.00 ($57.00) from AnastasiaBeverlyHills.co.uk, AnastasiaBeverlyHills.com and FeelUnique.com. You get fourteen 0.73g eyes...
