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 (4^th 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?

Jouer Skinny Dip Palette

I first saw this palette when Jouer released their Skinny Dip make-up collection and I nearly bought it, but I changed my mind because I already have a million palettes. As you can see, I have changed my mind again and I am very glad that I did. The packaging is quite compact. It is made out of reflective foil gold cardboard and the typography is simple. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift to reveal a small rectangular mirror on one side and then the six eyeshadow pans on the other. The shade names are written underneath each pan. You get six ultra-foil shimmer eyeshadows in blinding shades with a net weight of 7.5g. The sixth shade is actually described as more of a glitter shade. STAR LIGHT - platinum BIKINI - champagne pink SKINNY DIP - champagne gold TAN LINES - antique bronze MAGIC HOUR - warm taupe MIDNIGHT SWIM - cocoa bronze The eyeshadows should be highly pigmented, have an intense shimmery and metallic finish, be long wearing and cre

Review: Rimmel Wake Me Up

Wake Me Up Foundation I bought this after seeing the advertisement for it on Rimmel’s Facebook, and I thought the description sounded perfect for me. The packaging is made of glass and it has a curved shape, with the Rimmel logo and product name printed in the centre on a bit of plastic tape. The cap is a slanted block shape made of plastic and it is a bright orange colour with glitter sparkle. This product has an orange plastic pump, which dispenses the product. All the relevant information is printed on the back, like most products. It is also packaged in a plastic wrapper, with a security tag. This product is marketed as a foundation that “instantly reawakens skin, with a healthy, radiant glow”. It is also mean’t to be light weight and give a poreless and flawless complexion. It also contains SPF15 for sun protection and illuminating pearls, which is mean’t to give your face a natural glow. It is also mean’t to “bounce your skin back to life” and banish the signs of fat
