Glossybox #12 - October 2014

I have been looking forward to this box for a while now because I knew the design would be cool! It is inspired by Pop Art and there are four different colour boxes. I received the yellow version, but the base of the actual Glossybox is pink. I hoped to get the blue one, but it is what’s inside which really counts!

NUXE Crème Fraîche de Beauté Masque

| £19.50 – Uk.Nuxe.com |

At first I thought this would be a hair product, but I was wrong. I am actually interested in trying this product. It is also a full size product at 50ml and NUXE skincare products are supposed to be very nice.

être belle Liplift Peel

| €12.95 – être-belle.co |

This is another full size (15ml) product and the brand is completely new to me. It is a lip exfoliator, but it has a creamy texture as opposed to the regular sugar scrub types. It will be interesting to see how well it works compared to a more abrasive exfoliator like the e.l.f stick one.

So Susan Flutter Mascara

| £14.95 – SoSusan.com |

This is a full size mascara and it sounds right up my street. It is supposed to give you carbon black curvy lashes. I cannot wait to try this!

Ciaté Paint Pot in Knickerbockerglory (012)

| £9 – CiateLondon.com |

I only own one Ciaté nail polish, which seems a similar colour to this one. I find the formula great, but the brand doesn’t interest as much because £9 for a nail polish is a bit steep, especially for a regular shade like this one. Nevertheless, Knickerbockerglory is a beautiful hot fuchsia pink shade and the name is quite catchy!

YVES ROCHER Quelques Notes d’Amour Perfume

| £33 – Yves-Rocher.co.uk |

The bottle for this perfume is stunning. It has a heart indent on one side of the bottle in the glass. The perfume also smells mature, but delicate. I wouldn’t pick it out for myself, but it is lovely and refreshing. I just love miniature perfume bottles!

Rimmel Matte BB Cream in Light

| £6.99 – UK.RimmelLondon.com |

I have been meaning to try the regular version of this for ages, but I just prefer foundation. This is a decent size though and will be on hand for if/when I decide to try it.

Overall this was a really great box and I love the Pop Art theme! I find all of the products interesting and I will definitely be trying them all. My favourite product would either be the mascara or perfume and my least favourite would be the matte BB cream. For this month’s box, Glossybox didn’t include a product info card and instead send an electronic copy to your e-mail address. I think this was a great idea and more eco-friendly! I hope they continue it for November’s box.

What are your thoughts on this box?

Boots.com Haul #2 + Blog Sale Purchase

I thought I would share a haul with you today. I haven’t done one for a while but I recently ordered a few items from Boots and I wanted to let you know about it. I bought the Real Techniques Brush Cleansing Palette , which includes two sample sachets of the deep cleansing gel. I have been waiting for something like this and I cannot wait to try it. I simply refuse to buy the Sigma version, plus I don’t think it needs to be that big. I also got a packet of the Oral-B Precision Clean Electric Toothbrush Heads because they were on offer and I got eight for the price of four. I got four tubes of the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Hand Sanitiser because I absolutely love the scent and I wanted to put them in difference rooms so they are always to hand when needed. I bought a back-up of the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation , which is my favourite foundation and I use the shade 010 Light Porcelain. Lastly, I got the Rimmel Brow This Way Styling Gel in Clear. It is the second tube I...

Farewell!

Hello everyone, As you can see from the title of this post, I have decided to quit blogging!. Blogging has been a part of my life for over 11 years and I have enjoyed it a lot and it has also been a form of therapy for me. But it’s now time to leave, my life has evolved so much this last year and a half and I am now looking forward to exploring new things. I have also closed my blog e-mail address, Twitter account and Bloglovin account. I will be leaving up all of my posts, but I have turned off new comments. Take care and thank you for all your support over the years. ♥ ♥ ♥

Dose of Colors Liquid Matte Lipsticks in Old Flame & Camp Fire

I decided to buy these and give them ago after hearing good things about them online, there is also a great shade selection. My current favourite lipsticks are the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipsticks and I wanted to see how these DOC ones would compare. Old Flame - warm rusty orange Camp Fire - burnt sienna These creamy matte liquid lipsticks are mean’t to be rich in colour, long wearing and dry down to a velvety, comfortable and matte finish. You should exfoliate your lips prior to application and avoid consuming oily/greasy foods once applied. You can purchase them for £18.00 ($18.00) each from DoseofColors.com and BeautyBay.com. They are also cruelty-free and vegan. My First Impressions The packaging is like the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipsticks and the actual formula of the DOC liquid lipsticks kind of reminds me of the JSC ones too. The formula is more of a cream rather than liquid, unlike the JSC’s ones. The formula comes out kind ...
