Glossybox #11 - August 2014

This month’s Glossybox has arrived! I received it this morning and it is the three year anniversary box.
The box design is slightly different and more like it used to be, but still in the newer brighter pink colour. It also has different tissue paper and a 3 sticker, instead of the regular Glossybox logo.
So let’s see what I got:-
Kryolan Cream Highlighter in Cashmere
| £12.95 | Uk.Kryolan.com |
This brand is not new to me and I kind of find this product odd. I am interested in trying it, but I am tempted to try and make it work as a cream eyeshadow instead of highlighter!

Figs & ROUGE Hand Cream in Mango Mandarin
| £6.95 | FigsAndRouge.com |
I’ve had a lip balm from this brand before, which I received in a Glossybox. It smells lovely and I will try it, but I am not big on hand creams!

YVES ROCHER Nail Polish in 14.Rose
| £3.60 | Yves-Rocher.co.uk |
This product is the Birthday bonus! You get a mini size of this and it is a really pretty light pink shade. I tried it on one nail and the formula seems decent, but you would need around two coats for an opaque colour.

PHILIP KINGSLEY Elasticizer
I’ve said previously that I am not into hair care; therefore I will not be trying this product, even though it is a cult favourite. I think my Sister would appreciate this product more!

LALIQUE L’Amour Eau De Parfum
| £67 | Lalique.com |
This happens to be a rather expensive perfume! It smells quite nice and it is not too floral and will appeal to any woman. It is a mini sample vial with a dotter dispenser. I have looked for this perfume on other sites and I have found it cheaper at 50% off! If I really fall for the scent in sample size, I may consider purchasing it in the 50ml bottle!

Essence I ♥ EXTREME Crazy Volume Mascara
| £2.79 | Essence.eu/uk/ |
My first Essence product! I’ve seen this brand around for a while now and I have been interested, but it is not widely available in the UK. I am excited to try this product, even more so with it being mascara! It does look promising and the brush is exactly how I like them.

This is a very good box! Some of the products I’m not really interested in, but there is an amazing range and you get six products to sample. I was going to unsubscribe for a bit, but I really want to see what September brings. This is definitely one of my favourite Glossyboxes overall!

PLEASE NOTE: I PURCHASED THIS BOX WITH GLOSSYDOTS!

What are your thoughts on this box?

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 ...

Perfume Power! - Harajuku Lovers 'G'

I received this perfume as an Easter gift from a family member. The bottle design is really cute. It has a doll figure cap, which lifts off and the actual bottle is clear and simple glass, it kind of has a flower shaped base. The size I have is very small, so it is handy for your handbag. And I suppose you could keep the doll for collector’s purposes, when you have used up the perfume. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Crisp Mandarin, Fresh Coconut & Apple Skin Middle Notes: Jasmine Sambac, Soft Freesia & Magnolia Vapour Base Notes: Coconut Cream, White Sandalwood & Cottonwoods To me it smells really strong for an eau de toilette. I quite like the scent because it is very feminine and quite sweet. The only thing I don’t like about it is the coconut. I don’t really like the coconut scent anyway. Other than that, it smells amazing, until the coconut hits your nose. I can also smell the floral side to it as well, the coconut does complement the flor...
