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?

Haul: End of June

Today I am going to haul products I have purchased this much. I haven’t really bought much, but the majority of the items were necessities and I thought I would share them with you anyway! From Boots I bought their Vitamin E Gentle Eye Cream (£2.54) . I was nearly running out of my Soap & Glory eye roll on and decided I wanted to try something different and the Boots one seemed like a good one to try because it is inexpensive. I also bought another Soap & Glory Peaches And Clean (£8) because I have nearly finished my current bottle and the packaging has been re-designed. I picked up two bottles of my favourite hand gel, Soap & Glory Hand Maid (£2.50) . Lastly from Boots I bought a Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint in Guava (£3.99) . From FeelUnique.com I bought a Maybelline Color Tattoo in On and On Bronze (£4.49) because it was 10% off and it was a shade I really wanted. I also received a free 1.5ml sample sachet of *DARPHIN MELAPERFECT Anti-Dark Spots Perfect...

Serial Sampler #39

I have another perfume sample to share today. Again, I can’t remember how long I have had this one, but I know I haven’t smelled it before. I always mean’t to test it sooner, but didn’t for reason, so now is the time! It is Olympéa by Paco Rabanne and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. “ The divine perfume with a fresh oriental signature; it’s sparkling green tangerine top notes reveal a unique salty vanilla accord. Then it’s addictive heart of captivating jasmine and ginger Lilly scents unveils a sensual ambergris and cashmere wood base ” Launched: 2015 Type: Oriental Floral / Feminine Notes Top: Water Jasmine, Green Mandarin and Ginger Flower. Middle: Vanilla and Salt. Base: Cashmere Wood, Ambergris and Sandalwood. I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this fragrance, I assumed it would smell like an ‘old lady’ floral but I was very wrong. It smells quite sensual and it is a perfect example of a deep oriental floral scent. I can really s...
