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?

Oden's Eye Solmåne Eyeshadow Palette

I first heard of this indie brand through watching Angelika Oles’ beauty channel on YouTube. Oden’s Eye is a Swedish indie brand and they make Norse mythology themed products. This is one of two eyeshadow palettes I decided to purchase; I also picked up the two matching highlighter palettes.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is small and rectangular in shape. It is made out of cardboard and it has a sort of textured covering (like on pogs). The design and imagery is so unique to the brand. Solmåne means the sun and moon in Swedish. Sol represents the Sun Goddess and Måne represents the Moon God. Both Gods are represented on the packaging. There is a colour split of warm and cool toned shades (lavender, pink, orange & yellow) along with moon, star and Norse symbols. The wheel around the Gods is metallic gold, so it really reflects the light when you move the palette around. The eyeshadow shade names are printed on the back of the palette. The palette has a magnetic closing/opening, ...
