Glossybox #16 - September 2015

I was looking forward to this box because the design is gorgeous! It is called their Style Edition box. Here is what I got this month:-
Bellápierre Shimmer Powder in Whesek
| 2.35g - £12.99 |
I haven’t tried this yet, as I find loose pigments/eyeshadows very messy and it doesn’t really look like my sort of colour.

Marsk Eyeshadow Brush Pro
| £16.70 |
I still can’t quite believe the price of this brush. It’s flat and the bristles are quite stiff. I am yet to apply eyeshadow with it, but I’m guessing it will be a little like the flat Urban Decay eyeshadow brushes I have. I definitely wouldn’t pay £16.70 for it!

Maria Nila Luminous Colour Hair Masque
| 250ml - £18.95 |
As you may know, I’m not a hair girl so this product definitely doesn’t interest me at all! It does smell really nice and sounds like it would do a great job for colour treated hair, but I just wouldn’t use it. It’s a little expensive for a hair mask, so I am going to pass it on to someone who will appreciate it.

Invisibobble Traceless Hair Ring
| 3 Rings - £4.00 |
These will definitely come in handy. I’m not sure they would replace my usual bobbles though. They don’t feel as secure to me and you have to un-wrap them to get them out of your hair, I prefer the old fashioned pull, although it’s probably better for your hair if you un-wrap.

Nails Inc Nail Polish in Battersea Park
| 10ml - £11.00 |
This looks like a beautiful colour in the bottle and I am a little intrigued to see what it looks like on nails. My nails are in a bit of a sorry state at the moment and I know my Mum was eyeing the polish up when I first opened the box, so I think I will let her be the first one to try it out.

In theory this would have been a great box, but I didn’t get anything that I would actually use, apart from the pretty box!

What are your thoughts on this box?

My Eye Primers: The Verdict!

It has taken me a long time to put this altogether, but I have finally done it! I decided I wanted to share my thoughts on eye primers I had tried and it turned out that I had ten, so I thought I would test them and find out which one worked best for me. I have split them into two categories (High End/Low End) and I aim to rank them from #1 to #10 on which is the longest wearing. Let’s look at the primers I will be testing. HIGH END URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION PRICE: £17.50 SIZE: 10ml SHADES: Original, Anti-ageing, Freebase, Eden, Fix, Minor Sin, Sin and Caffeine APPLICATION: Squeeze tube without a nozzle, but also has a sponge stick applicator PROMISES: Non-creasing, gives you vibrant eyeshadows WHERE TO BUY: UrbanDecay.co.uk (UK) & Sephora (USA) I like to think that this primer is my favourite as I love the packaging (purple is my favourite colour). It is potion bottle inspired and it is the first primer I remember ever seeing and wanting. The packa...

Perfume Power! - Next 'Paradise'

I first smelt this perfume after receiving it in a mini gift set about ten years ago and I have loved it ever since. This 100ml size is my first bottle of it though, other than the tester/sample size. The bottle is quite tall and it is a sort of clutch bag shape if you turn it on its side. The bottle is a simple design and you can easily see how much perfume you have. On mine the spray pump sometimes gets stuck in the band around the neck of the bottle, but the problem is easily solved. I can’t find a specific note list anywhere for this perfume, but on Next’s site it is described as, "a light fruity fragrance with white florals and green notes". To me it smells really fruity and fresh. It is also multifunctional because it is quite strong and sexy, so perfect for a night out, but it is also not too overpowering and smells fresh and fruity enough for day time wear. It is actually an eau de toilette, which means that it is less concentrated, but I find that it is st...
