Glossybox #14 - May 2015

I wasn’t really looking forward to this box from the previews I saw last month, but each box is still a surprise. Here is what I got this month:-

MeMeMe Enchanted Eyes Dual Ended Eye Wand in Midnight Storm

| £6.95 |

The colours do look quite pretty, but I find the points are too large for eyeliner. For someone who is not a pro at applying eyeliner, I try and buy pencils with smaller points. They do feel quite creamy and apply nice when swatched, so I am sure they could probably be used as bases, although I do sense that they would be buggers for creasing!

Etre Belle Aloe Vera Ultra Moisturising Gel

| 40ml - £15.93 |

This looks kind of odd in the tube, but I am interested to try it because I’ve only ever tried cream moisturisers.

Zerreau Towel Off Shampoo Foam

| 70ml - £7.95 |

This is not really a product that interests me. I get why it exists, but I would want my hair to feel clean and not just look clean. I would still opt for an actual full hair wash.

SASS Intimate Perfect Skin Concentrate

| 30ml - £12.00 |

I am quite interested in trying this, as I am sure most women would. I’ve not seen a product like this before, so if it works I will let you know. It does smell rather funky (not in a good way) though!

Collection Field Day Lipstick in 1) Pink Rose

| £2.99 |

The packaging of this lipstick looks and feels quite cheap, but the colour does look beautiful and it does smell quite nice.

I think this was quite a good box actually. I’m not really interested in a couple of the products, but will get use out of the majority of them. You also got a free My Glossy Notes A5 notebook. I’m not sure why this was included, but it is quite nice to have.

What are your thoughts on this box?

Treats - Box #1

I thought I would share with you a box from a new subscription of mine that I received last week. It is a sweets subscription box and it is much like the Graze Box subscriptions, apart from the snacks are not as healthy for you. An advertisement for the subscription service popped up on Facebook the other day and I thought, I love sweets and sometimes don’t know what I fancy because my tastes change, so I thought I would give the subscription a go. I subscribed via Treats.co.uk and there is an introductory offer for your first box, which makes it £2.49 (inc postage), after that it is £3.99 per box. You get four packets of sweets in each box and they have a varied menu (they call it ‘Treats Cupboard’). On Graze you can bin any snacks you don’t like or think you won’t like straight away so that you won’t be sent them, but there isn’t the option on Treats, so it is a gamble if you know there are sweets in their cupboard you don’t like (I don’t like buttery sweets, some chewy sweet...

Graze - Box #6

Welcome to my second Graze delivery of the year. I was quite excited when I first opened it, even though I have tried one of the treats before. A closer look at my treats. Cracking Black Pepper Cashews “Black pepper cashews, roasted cashews & redskin peanuts” I have had cashews before and they are not my favourite, but the black pepper completely changes them and they are actually quite nice and the flavour is not too overpowering. I am not keen on the roasted cashews because they don’t really taste of anything and the bit of flavour they do have is very dry. Lastly, the peanuts are kind of strange. They kind of taste soily and dry, therefore I don’t like these. My Thai “Sweet chilli sauce with baked soy bites” This was my first experience of this one and you can really smell the soy on the bites and they have a funny texture, but are really yummy. I didn’t try the chilli sauce because I didn’t like the scent and I am not big on sauces anyway. ...

Oden's Eye Alva II Highlighter 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 highlighter palettes I decided to purchase; I also picked up the two matching eyeshadow palettes. I have already posted about the Solmåne Eyeshadow Palette and Solmåne Highlighter Palette. ABOUT THE PRODUCT The packaging doesn’t match the eyeshadow palette, but it is still very beautiful with a light blue theme and it does have a little silver elf printed next to the palette name. The design and imagery is so unique to the brand. Alva means elf in Swedish. This palette represents the four elemental spirits; Earth, Water, Air and Fire. You get four 7.5g highlighters in a metallic finish. · Vegan · Cruelty-Free THE SHADES & SWATCHES Salamander - diamond base with pink, gold & silver ...
