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?

KALEIDOS Futurism II: Cyber Bronze Palette

  I have seen these palettes before on YouTube, a few people I follow have featured them in palette collection videos. The colour stories always looked incredible, but I knew I probably wouldn’t get much use out of them as the colours are bright and you are limited to six shades. I had only really seen the Futurism III: Astro-Pink , Futurism I: Sci-Fi Green , Futurism IV: VR Neon and Futurism V: Electro-Turquoise ones before. When I made my first Kaleidos order, I didn’t bother looking at the palettes as I knew I wanted the highlighters and it was going to be pricey as it was. I was browsing through Depop on the day my order arrived and came across the Futurism II: Cyber Bronze Palette . I think the seller must have received her order the same day as me. I instantly fell in love with the colour story, but I pondered over whether to purchase it or not. At 3am the next morning (insomnia), I bit the bullet and made my purchase. It was brand new and untouched, I just couldn’t! THE P...

Boots.com Haul #2 + Blog Sale Purchase

I thought I would share a haul with you today. I haven’t done one for a while but I recently ordered a few items from Boots and I wanted to let you know about it. I bought the Real Techniques Brush Cleansing Palette , which includes two sample sachets of the deep cleansing gel. I have been waiting for something like this and I cannot wait to try it. I simply refuse to buy the Sigma version, plus I don’t think it needs to be that big. I also got a packet of the Oral-B Precision Clean Electric Toothbrush Heads because they were on offer and I got eight for the price of four. I got four tubes of the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Hand Sanitiser because I absolutely love the scent and I wanted to put them in difference rooms so they are always to hand when needed. I bought a back-up of the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation , which is my favourite foundation and I use the shade 010 Light Porcelain. Lastly, I got the Rimmel Brow This Way Styling Gel in Clear. It is the second tube I...

Serial Sampler #35

I have another perfume sampler today. I can’t remember how I got the sample or how long I’ve had it, but I thought it was about time to give it a whiff!   It is BonBon by Viktor & Rolf and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. Launched: 2014   Type: Floral & Fruity Notes Top: Peach, Mandarin Orange and Orange. Middle: Caramel, Orange Blossom and Jasmine. Base: Amber, Sandalwood, Guaiac Wood and Cedar. This is a delicate scent and I definitely get the floral and fruity notes. I can mostly smell the orange blossom, jasmine and amber, with a slight hint of caramel. It smells quite strong when you first spray it and then it tones down a bit. It is a nice scent, but it isn’t unique. I was expecting it to smell a little bit sweeter. I would wear it, but I won’t be purchasing a bottle any time soon.   You can purchase the Viktor & Rolf BonBon Eau De Parfum in 30ml (£56.00), 50ml (£78.00) and 90ml (£110.00) from Boots.com . ...
