Glossybox #19 - December 2015

I have been really looking forward to this box as I knew it would be rose gold themed. All the products were carefully selected by the Beauty Blogger ReallyRee, for this special looking limited edition Christmas box. Here is what I received:-

être belle Golden Skin Caviar Eye Roll On

| 10ml - £30.66 |

This product is a bit odd and really doesn’t appeal to me at all!

So Susan Statement Skin Highlighter Pencil in Starlight

| 1.8g - £15.00 |

This is a very strange colour and the cream shape is odd too. I am not interested in this product one bit. I prefer light pink highlighters and this is a yellow gold shade, not flattering at all for my skin tone!

COLLECTION Long Lasting Nail Effects in Touch of Glamour (31)

| 8ml - £2.99 |

This nail polish looks really pretty and it is definitely my kind of shade (rose gold). I am looking forwarded to trying it on my nails. I think it would look beautiful on it’s own.

Hylamide Pore Delete

| 10ml - £18.00 |

This is something I am interested in. Hopefully it will do something positive for the troublesome pores on my nose.

essence Liquid Lipstick in Show Off

| 4ml - £2.50 |

This is an amazing colour and the pigmentation is astounding, but I just wouldn’t use it. I dislike liquid lipsticks because they are like lip-glosses, which I hate and the bright colour of this particular product scares me!

Starskin Bio-Cellulose Second Skin Mask

| 1 Mask - £8.50 |

I’ve not used a sheet mask before and I am interested in trying it, but I can’t say I will bother with another. It’s just easier for me to quirt a mask out and rub it on my face and leave it, rather than worrying about taking it out of the packet carefully and unfolding it correctly to place on my face.

Overall this was a good box, but slightly disappointing. I was expecting more considering it was put together by a Beauty Blogger, but I do love the box design. Was I the only one expecting to get a glittering rose gold bauble, especially considering it is supposed to be the Christmas edition of Glossybox?

What are your thoughts on this box?

Perfume Power! - Sarah Jessica Parker 'Covet'

I bought this perfume back in March. I tested it a couple of years ago and I thought I liked it, but since buying it my opinion has slightly changed. The bottle design is a flower. The cap looks like petals and the base of the bottle is rounded, so to me it looks like a flower. It is clear glass and the liquid is a green/yellow colour. I really like the bottle design; it is very feminine and will look cute sat on a dressing table. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Lavender, Pelargonium Leaf, Dark Chocolate & Sicilian Lemon Middle Notes: Honeysuckle, Magnolia & Lily Of The Valley Base Notes: Amber, Musk, Cashmere Wood, Vetiver & Teak Wood To me it smells very floral and mature. I can smell the musk, lily of the valley and sicilian lemon, but I can’t pick out any other of the notes. If chocolate wasn’t listed, I would never have known it was in there! It does last a while on the skin, for me it lasted an hour and then lingered slightly for a bit afte...

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...
