Glossybox #8 - June 2014

I re-subscribed! The last box I had was the Valentine’s Day special and it now seems like a lifetime ago I had a Glossybox. I was suckered into re-subscribing because I was e-mailed an offer. It you bought the June box, you got the July box free. Naturally, I just had to take advantage of the offer. My free July box will be a 4th July special, so I am excited for that! Here is what I got in my June box:-

nailgirls 3-in-1 Base/Topcoat & Nail Strengthener
| £13.50 – nailgirls.co.uk |
I’ve not heard of this brand before and the product does sound interesting. It is full size and I am always on the lookout for new nail care products. I am eager to try this.

got2b Rise ‘n Shine Soufflé
| £4.07 (100ml) – got2be.schwarzkopf.co.uk |
This product smells really nice, but I will probably give it to my Sister. I’m not really a hair kind of girl, so this product would be wasted on me. If my Sister is not interested in it, I may give it a try.

Teeez Trend Cosmetics Beautiful Flat Stiff Brush
| €19 – Teeez.eu |
I’ve not heard of this brand before either, but I have seen this brush advertised online before. It has a very cute design and it is definitely something I would get use out of. I can’t wait to add it to my expanding brush collection.

Roger&Gallet Fleur de Figuier Discovery Ritual
Shower Cream, Body Lotion and Eau Fraîche Fragrance
| £9.50 (200ml), £13 (200ml) & £32 (100ml) – roger-gallet.co.uk |
Yet another brand I have not heard before. The scent is surprisingly nice and not my typical scent. It is very strong and fruity. I will definitely use and enjoy the cream and perfume, but I am not really excited about the body lotion.

So Susan Cosmetics Universal Blush
| £17.95 – SoSusan.com
This brand is new to me and this particular product seems very interesting to me. I am excited to try it and I hope it adapts well to my skins chemistry and still makes my cheekbones look naturally flushed and not overly coloured!

This is one of my favourite Glossyboxes so far and I think my favourite product has to be the So Susan blush. I am glad I decided to re-subscribe and take advantage of the offer. I am now very excited to see what July has to offer me!

What are your thoughts on this box?

Beauty Bakerie Lip Whips & Remover

I had wanted to try these lipsticks for a very long time, but I was sceptical as I had heard mixed reviews. Some people love them, some people dislike them. I had also heard that they are very hard to remove, which leads me to believe that the staying power must be there. My current favourite liquid lipsticks are still the JSC Velour ones and nothing else I have tried has topped them yet, a couple of brands have come close though! ABOUT THE PRODUCTS The packaging of the lipsticks is simple, but aesthetically pleasing; I like the blue accent caps. It is made out of plastic and there is something inside the tube to make the formula looked twisted in the tube, which is a nice detail that I haven’t seen before. The applicator is a little pear shaped sponge with a little well in the middle to hold the product. The packaging of the remover is also pretty simple and cute. The container is made of lightweight plastic and you could easily repurpose it once you have used up the wipes. You get 3...

Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Palette

I first saw a preview of this palette in early August on the Trendmood Instagram page. I just knew I had to have it. I also own and love the Gingerbread Spice and Gingerbread Extra Spicy Palettes by Too Faced. These are the only types of holiday palettes that actually interest me from Too Faced. All of their other holiday palettes tend to be gimmicky (but pretty looking) and not good quality. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a rounded rectangular shaped tin in a beautiful pumpkin orange colour. The design on the front kind of looks like spread on a cracker. The name of the palette is printed in two different raised fonts. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The little rectangular eyeshadow pans are arranged across a metallic gold base, with the shade names printed in a small black font above each pan. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid of the palette. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.70g eyeshadows in Matte (M),...

Serial Sampler #17

I chose this sample as my free gift with purchase and I hadn’t heard of the brand before. It happens to be part of a series of four fragrances and they are all unisex/genderless. The designs of the full sized bottles are very interesting and artsy. Looking at the four, had I been able to pick which one to receive, I most likely would have chosen the one called 10am Flirt as it seems the fruitiest based of the four. The sample I have is Santal Sky by KIERIN NYC and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. “Intertwined like vines, we stroll through Central Park. Leaves release their woody fragrance. Under a canopy of trees, in the center of it all, we are a million miles from city life. Music from impromptu drum circles, the rhythm of runners’ footsteps, diverse languages fill my ears like poetry. This retreat into nature refreshes my soul. The sun smiling down upon us, I pull my loved one close. In synchronicity we breathe.” It contains a mixture notes, such ...
