Glossybox #21 - February 2016

I always look forward to the themed Glossyboxes and this box just looks lovely. I love the colours and the little love design on the lid (better than last February’s box!). Inside the tissue paper is the same hot pink colour as the base of the box and the tissue confetti is white.
Here is what I got in my Valentine’s Day themed Glossybox for February:-
Nicka K New York 24H Waterproof Eyeliner in Dark Brown
| 0.3g - £3.99 |
This is a nice product. I like the colour and it could also be used for your brows because it is so soft and the tip is quite fine. It definitely doesn’t stay on for twenty-four hours. It is slightly water resistant, but not waterproof. It doesn’t compare to the Urban Decay ones.

MUA Power Pout Glaze Low Voltage Gloss in Rapture
| 3.2ml - £3.50 |
This looks like a chubby lipstick at first and when you take the cap off, it reveal the wide, flat lip brush applicator. They could have definitely got away with a slightly smaller applicator. You twist the bottom up to dispense the product. It smells of vanilla and is very glossy looking. It is also rather sticky! The shade is a neutral brown rose and does look nice on the lips. I wouldn’t use it again though because I hate lipgloss!

The Vintage Cosmetic Company Floral Slanted Tweezers
| 1 tweezer - £8.00 |
There is quite a lot of wasted packaging for this product. The item itself is not too interesting just some florally looking tweezers. They work ok, nothing special and I definitely wouldn’t pay full price for them. I’ve got e.l.f tweezers that are just as good for a fraction of the price of these.

NAOBAY Protective Hair Mask Volume Conditioner
| 200ml - £10.64 |
This product does smell really nice, but I’m just not into hair products. I will see if my Mum fancies giving this a go.

Wilkinson Sword Intuition Razor
| 1 razor - £6.99 |
This is quite a large product and it’s pink (goes with the love theme I guess). It is an interesting concept because it has soap cartridge attached to the blade, so you don’t need to use separate shaving creams/gels. I am yet to try this out, but it is something that does seem quite interesting to me. For the size, it is almost weightless!
Overall this was a great box and I am looking forward to next month’s box, mostly because I used my Glossydots to buy it!

What are your thoughts on this box?

Violet Voss X Laura Lee Palette

After being blown away by the Holy Grail Palette, I just couldn’t pass on this one! The shade selection doesn’t appeal to me as much, but I know the quality will be there. Also, this palette is limited edition so I wouldn’t recommend hesitating if you are interested in it. I believe this palette is a collaboration with a YouTuber called Laura Lee. I don’t know anything about Laura, but from what I gather she makes beauty videos. The palette design is similar to the Holy Grail Palette but the colour scheme is different, but it still has the holographic effect on the packaging. It has a rectangular shape to it and it is slightly bulky and has a little weight to it. It has a magnetic closing and when you lift the lid it reveals the eyeshadow pans and a mirror. The packaging colour scheme is black and silver. You get twenty 36g eyeshadows in a variety of shades and finishes. BASIC - matte creamy ivory SUGAH - champagne shimmer PRISS POT - matte peach MAMA BIR...

Serial Sampler #42

I have wanted to try this fragrance for a very long time and I have seen the advertisements with Charlize Theron countless times over the years. For some reason, I just didn’t look for it to test so I thought it was about time I did. I decided to purchase a sample online.   It is J’adore by Christian Dior and it is a 1ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ J’adore’s original composition is a sophisticated harmony blossoming from Comoro Islands Ylang-Ylang and Damascus Rose Essences and Jasmine Sambac Absolute. ” Launched: 1999   Type: Floral Fruity / Feminine Notes Top: Pear, Melon, Magnolia, Peach, Mandarin Orange and Bergamot. Middle: Jasmine, Lily-Of-The-Valley, Tuberose, Freesia, Rose, Orchid, Plum and Violet. Base: Musk, Vanilla, Blackberry and Cedar. My assumption before testing this fragrance is that it would smell like an old classic (old lady) floral. It is very floral, but you do get the hit of the fresh fruity notes. I can mostly detect the Magnoli...

Becca's Babble's #4: My Current Favourite Songs

Photo: TheDJ.co.uk I thought I would post about something different today, something not beauty related. I have found myself listening to more music lately, seeing as though I have more time on my hands whilst the UK is on a sort of lockdown and I cannot go to work. By listening to more music, I mean more of the songs I have downloaded. I don’t really get to hear much new music as I do not listen to the radio or watch music channels on the TV. I am also kind of old school with music. I actually download the songs onto my PC instead of using a music streaming service. I just personally find it easier; I can then copy the songs to my phone. Streaming sites tend to delete their content after a while, but if you have the songs downloaded, you can never lose them until you delete them. I do subscribe to Amazon Music for my Echo Dot though, but I do find it incredibly frustrating when Alexa doesn’t understand what I want her to play, even though I am saying it in plain English!! Anyway...
