Glossybox #13 - January 2015

My first Glossybox post of the year, and it won’t be the last! This box is actually quite exciting and you also get a HellFresh.co.uk £25.00 gift card and that next month preview card. For February’s preview, everyone will get a full size Royal Apothic Tintie Lip Butter in their box. Let’s see what I got in my first box of 2015:-
| 15g - £10.00 |
I have tested this and it is a nice product. The colour is a bit odd, but as an eye base would look pretty. It spreads quite a long way, which I don’t like for a cheekbone highlighter because it’s a bit messy, no matter how much you squeeze out! The packaging is also very nice and the tube comes quite full with the product.

| 200ml - £9.00 |
I am quite excited to try this because I love trying face cleaners. This one smells quite nice and the description sounds very promising.

| 4.25g - £4.00 |
I’m not really into lip balms and if I need to use one, I tend to go for a tinted one. It does smell kind of pleasant, fruity and like really sweet brown sugar.

| £4.00 |
I am always interested in trying eyeliner pencils and I am kind of glad that this shade isn’t black. I haven’t tried it fully yet, but from the swatch I did, the formula seems very smooth.

| 5g - £7.00 |
The packaging of this product is quite nice, but I don’t like the concept of application! I prefer pan blushes and the colour looks quite nice, but too bright and rosy for me. Also the powder smells quite strange; I wouldn’t purchase this product myself.

This is a really good box and I can get use out of everything (but the £25.00 voucher). The most interesting product to me is the toner and the least interesting product is the lip balm. I am excited for next month’s box, mostly because it’s free because I collected enough Glossydots!

What are your thoughts on this box?

Escada Collector's Edition Gift Set

I’ve always been interested in trying Escada fragrances, but there are so many to choose from and I didn’t want to risk buying a full size bottle. I came across this little gift set whilst I was shopping online at Boots and clicked buy straight away! All four fragrances are in a tiny, but cute 4ml potion looking bottle. Here are the four scents you get to try:- TURQUOISE SUMMER This bottle is a turquoise/clear theme and contains the notes; pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, peach, violet, orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. It smells really strong of orange blossom and kind of like a car air freshener. It does linger quite a while on the skin, but it is not really a strong scent. Overall I don’t like this scent. It doesn’t really smell of anything to me and what you can smell isn’t what I would call pleasant. I give this perfume 1/5 . BORN IN PARADISE This bottle’s theme is the same as Turquoise Summer and contains the notes; green apple, watermelo...

Serial Sampler #41

An advertisement popped up on Facebook with an offer of a free sample of this new fragrance and I clicked straight away! I have previously tested the original scent of this fragrance line and I loved it, so I was also expecting to like this one.   It is Born In Roma Yellow Dream by Valentino and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ A floral lift of a thousand rose petals, twisted with a new clean and fresh addiction. ” Launched: 2021   Type: Floral / Feminine (Donna) Notes Top: Italian Lemon. Middle: Rose Essence. Base: Clean Accord and White Musks. This is a very soft and delicate floral scent with a fresh musk hint. It is definitely more floral smelling than the original Born In Roma fragrance. I can’t really detect the Italian Lemon. I can pick-up a fruity sort of hint, but it definitely isn’t lemon to me. I can detect the very light Rose Essence and White Musk and it does smell like a clean scent. It smells like a lovely spring day to me. I w...

Haul: Recent Purchases #3

I just wanted to share with you a few naughty purchases and I’m sure these won’t be the last of this month! From FeelUnique.com I finally got my hands on the Juicy Couture Duo Spray Set , which includes two 7.5ml purse sprays of Viva La Juicy La Fleur and Viva La Juicy . I also bought the Urban Decay Nirvana Build Your Own Quad Palette , as I eventually plan on buying some single UD eyeshadows and need somewhere cute to house them. Lastly, after deciding against the purchase, I listened to the little devil on my shoulder and got theBalm Balmsai Palette . From AllBeauty.com I bought a bigger size of the DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom Perfume (50ml). I am still working my way through the 30ml, but I just couldn’t pass on the sale discount and I love the scent. I also decided to buy a 30ml bottle of Britney Spears Curious Perfume . It was so inexpensive and I wanted to own the fragrance again. I nearly bought the 100ml as it was equally inexpensive, but I haven’t smelled the...
