Glossybox #15 - June 2015

The preview for June’s box didn’t seem very interesting, so I wasn’t really expecting much. I was a little surprised to find what was included, because it was a good mix of products for a picky person like me, who is really only interested in make-up. Here is what I received this month:-

MONU Spa Rosewood Reviving Mist

| 50ml - £11.95 |

This product sounds quite versatile, as you can use it to refresh, fix and lightly fragrant your face. I am interested in trying this and on the plus side, it smells quite nice too.

Halo Fragrance Free Facial Wipes

| 10 Wipes - £1.20 |

I will definitely use these, but as far as I can tell it doesn’t promise anything special.

Kueshi Anticellulite Booster

| 150ml - £14.55 |

This seems like quite an interesting product and it smells great. I cannot wait to test this.

Essence The Gel Nail Polish in 11) 4 Ever Young

| 8ml - £1.71 |

I have already swatched this and it is a beautiful colour. The formula looks promising and the brush is quite flat and squared.

Glossybox Flash Tattoos

| 12 Tattoos - £6.50 |

These are not something I am excited about. I’m quite surprised they were included actually, as they seem a bit juvenile to me. I will most likely use them, but just to mess about and get rid of them.

I do actually like this box. I will get use out of everything included, although I am a little disappointed with the tattoos. I’m mostly interested in make-up, as hair products and most body products don’t really interest me, but the ones that were included in this month’s box do seem useful and like something I wouldn’t mind trying (although I wouldn’t have purchased them myself to try!).

I am definitely looking forward to July’s box because it is supposed to be French inspired!

What are your thoughts on this box?

Empties #10 - August & September 2013

I have combined two month’s worth of empties again. At the end of August my box wasn’t that full, so I decided to carry on collecting and hope I use up more stuff. The majority of stuff I used up was necessities as usual, but there are some extra bits too. Here is what I managed to use up within two months:- Morrisons So Clear Dual Action Moisturiser | 100ml I have used another tube of this and have already re-purchased it. It works really well and doubles as a hand cream and most importantly, it is very inexpensive. Price - £1.49 Listerine Total Care Mouthwash in Clean Mint (Purple) | 500ml This is my favourite mouthwash and I have already re-purchased it. Although I get it for around £2.99, I still wish it was cheaper. Price - £4.60 Right Guard Women Total Defence 5 48H Invisible Power Anti-Perspirant Deodorant | 150ml + 250ml I have used more of these as usual and I still haven’t found anything that is better. I have however found a cheaper place to buy it f...

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, ...

Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Palette

I first saw a preview of this palette in early August on the Trendmood Instagram page. I just knew I had to have it. I also own and love the Gingerbread Spice and Gingerbread Extra Spicy Palettes by Too Faced. These are the only types of holiday palettes that actually interest me from Too Faced. All of their other holiday palettes tend to be gimmicky (but pretty looking) and not good quality. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a rounded rectangular shaped tin in a beautiful pumpkin orange colour. The design on the front kind of looks like spread on a cracker. The name of the palette is printed in two different raised fonts. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The little rectangular eyeshadow pans are arranged across a metallic gold base, with the shade names printed in a small black font above each pan. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid of the palette. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.70g eyeshadows in Matte (M),...
