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?

Birchbox #4 - May 2015

This month’s theme is ‘Free Your Mind’. The box comes looking quite plain, but with a patterned outline. You also got a small packet of coloured pencils, which you were supposed to use to decorate the box. Here is what products were inside my box:- Jelly Pong Pong Caribbean Sun Bronzer Duo in Martinique | 3g - £15.95 | This is kind of an odd product. It actually looks like eyeshadow. I’m also guessing you would have a hard time applying it as the pans are quite small, and it doesn’t look like a make-up brush would fit in there. CAUDALIE Vinoperfect Radiance Tinted Moisturiser in 01) Light | 15ml - £27.00 | I am quite interested in trying this and it looks like a decent sample. I’ve tried a serum from this line before and loved that, so I am hoping this is good. Even if I do like it, I’m not sure I would pay out for a full size tube! WAH LONDON Nail Polish in Baby Gurl | 6.5ml - £9.00 | This looks like a really nice light pink and I can’t wait to try it!...

Graze - Box #16

I thought I would share my Graze box with you today. I recently re-subscribed and my first one arrived Tuesday 14 th July. It has been almost six years since I last mentioned Graze on my blog, but I did keep my subscription for a long time after. I stopped posting about them as I am kind of picky with snacks, so I would make sure that I only received the few that I liked which means I was receiving the same ones over and over again, which would be boring and daft to blog about. I eventually cancelled my subscription, I can’t remember when but I remember I was receiving three boxes a week at one point. Graze seem to have added a lot of new snacks, but I have noticed that all my old favourites are no longer available! If you have never heard of Graze before, it is basically a subscription box for healthy snacks. You get four snacks per box and you can order as many boxes as you like. I set mine up again for one box weekly and the next available date for me was a Tuesday, so I w...
