Glossybox #10 - July 2014

I saw a preview of this box last month and it looked as though it would be a special box, because it is American themed and it would be the July box (4th July!). I was slightly disappointed in this box, but there was a good range of cosmetics included. Here is what I got this month:-

bellápierre Cosmetics Mineral Lipstick in Ruby
| £20 - BellaPierre.co.uk |
The packaging of this product is beautiful, but I find the shade so scary! It is an intense pink based red and it smells just like the MAC lipsticks. I probably won’t get much use out of it, but I will try and make it work.

ABSOLUTE New York Perfecting Eyeshadow Primer
| $4.99 - Nicka.com |
I’ve not heard of this brand before, but I am very interested in trying this primer.

Carmex Moisturising Lip Balm (pot)
| £2.69 - MyCarmex.com |
I already have some lip balms from Carmex. It is a great brand and the products are nice, but I am bored of them now. I prefer drier stick balms, so I will probably give this to my sister.

Color Club Nail Polish in Glossy Seal
| $8 - ShopColorClub.com |
This brand is new to me too and the polish bottle seems huge! It looks like a nice colour, but not one I would particularly choose to paint my nails. My sister has already called dibs on this!

NYC High Definition Felt Top Liner in Extra Black
| £2.99 - NewYorkColor.com |
I have used this brand for years and it doesn’t get enough credit! I was looking to buy a new felt tip eyeliner and now I don’t have to bother. I am excited to test it out and see if I can apply it easier.

This was not a bad box and everything was really make-up related, but the whole special box thing kind of reached an anti-climax. I was expecting something brilliant, with it being an American special box. Nevertheless I will get use out of the products. I have also now saved up enough Glossydots, so my August box will be free; I am pretty excited about 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.
