Glossybox #17 - October 2015

I can’t believe that we are nearly half way through October already! It seems like the year has flown by recently. I wasn’t really looking forward to this box, but it has surprised me a bit. Here is what I received this month:
So Susan Haute Light Highlighting Pencil
| £15.00 |
I prefer a highlighter like Benefit High Beam, so it will be interesting to see how this works. It does come across relatively creamy for a sharp jumbo pencil.

Talika Photo-Hydra Day Moisturiser
| 30ml - £24.85 |
Another moisturiser for your face is always very useful.  I can’t really see it being anything special.

Nicka K Airbrush Blending Sponge
| £6.50 |
This looks quite a bit like the BeautyBlender, but has a different shape. I imagine it will do the exact same thing, but it is a lot cheaper option. I am interested in giving it a try, although I prefer the old finger and hand method of applying foundation and concealer.

Jelly Pong Pong Play Paint in Damson
| £8.95 |
It is in a cute little tube and has the usual fruity scent. The colour is actually quite scary to me and considering the type of product that it is I most likely won’t bother trying it out!

Lanolips Lip Ointment with Colour & SPF15 in Rhubarb
| 12.5g - £7.99 |
A know a lot of bloggers like Lanolips lip products, but it is not something that appeals to me. I hate lipgloss and anything sticky or tacky on my lips, so I will be finding a new home for this product straight away. Although I think the colour does look beautiful in the tube.

This box did have a nice range of products, however I can be quite picky and there is not many of the five that I would actually use. The two lip products are just too bright colour wise for me and the texture of the products put me off too. And the other three items just don’t really interest me.

It was a nice box, but clearly wasted on me. I think I am just getting bored with beauty boxes now. I’m definitely stayed subscribed until the Christmas box, but beyond that I just don’t know.

What are your thoughts on this box?

Perfume Power! - Avril Lavigne 'Black Star'

This is my third bottle of this perfume and in the 30ml too. The bottle is designed as a star, which has a black star shaped studded cap. Around the neck of the bottle is a studded metal choker ring, which is removable and wearable for your finger. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Blackcurrant, Mango, Pear & Black Plum Middle Notes: Jasmine, Lotus & Pink Hibiscus Base Notes: Musk, Sandalwood, Vanilla & Dark Mexican Chocolate To me it smells really light, fruity, floral and incredibly feminine. The floral notes stand out to me the most, as well as the musk. All of the notes complement each other very well and it is one of my all-time favourite perfumes. My only criticism is  after a while I cannot smell it on me, but people have said they can still smell it, so it must last longer than your nose leads you to believe! I just personally like to be able to still smell the perfume on me, because it is GORGEOUS! I will definitely keep on re-purchasi...

Colourpop Limoncello Palette

I first saw the tease of this palette on Trendmood’s Instagram and it instantly attracted me. I love the packaging and colour story, it just reminds me of summer. The design on the palette would also make a lovely and classy wallpaper pattern. This palette is part of the Limoncello Collection. THE PACKAGING The packaging is made out of cardboard, which is wrapped with a white, blue and yellow flowery and lemon design. The palette name and branding is printed in gold and the shade names are printed on the back of the palette. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The circle eyeshadow pans are arranged on a pale yellow, lemon skin textured base with the shade names printed above them at an angle in blue font. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid. The mirror is inside a yellow cardboard base and it has a corner flower and lemon design on it. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get twelve 1g eyeshadows in Matte (M) and Metallic (ME) f...
