Glossybox #23 - December 2018

It is not long now until New Year and as you can see from the title, I have reactivated my Glossybox subscription, AGAIN! My last box was September 2016. I got this box for £7.00 as there was a ‘first box’ discount offer and the postage was £3.25. I couldn’t get the Christmas ‘All That Glitters’ box, so I was sent this one instead. The sticker on the side of the box said this was the ‘Glossy V11 Dec 18’ box. The products I received are:-

WET ONES BE FRESH WIPES
I have seen these wipes before in supermarkets and they are just usual wet wipes. I suppose they come in handy, especially if you carry them in your bag.
| 12 Wipes - £1.15 |

LUNA BY LUNA TRANSLUCENT POWDER
I’ve never heard of this brand before and I have only ever tried one translucent loose powder before and I didn’t see what the fuss was about. I will give this one a go though because it is white based and I think the last one I tried was more skin tone based in colour.
| 5g - $22.00 |

GARNIER ULTIMATE BLENDS HONEY TREASURES HAIR MASK
I’m not really into hair products, but I think I might give this one a go. This is a 20ml sample size of the full sized product.
| 300ml - £4.99 |

BELLÁ PIERRE SHIMMER ROLL IN CHAMPAGNE
I have seen this product before and it doesn’t really interest me at all. I think my Mum received one in a Birchbox not long back. It is a shimmery champagne shade.
| 2g - £14.99 |

NIKO PRO LIQUID JELLY BLUSHER IN BALI
I have never heard of this brand before either and this product looks weird. It has a strange consistency and I would say it is wet in texture and I personally wouldn’t class it as jelly. A little goes a long way because it spreads out quite far. It is an interesting shiny, coral pink shade with gold glitter. I prefer powder blush myself.
| 8g |

DOUCCE RELENTLESS MATTE LIP CRAYON IN WINTERBERRY (405)
I haven’t heard of this brand either and the crayon does look like good quality, but it will require sharpening once you use it. It is a deep red shade and I would say it is pink based. I most likely won’t wear it because it is a little bright and my lipstick formula of choice is now liquid.
| 2.80g - $22.00 |

I didn’t receive a product card in this box and I don’t know whether it was a mistake or not. I’m sure I remember one box brand were going to stop including product cards so it is more environmentally friendly, because you can log onto your box account and see what products you got. It could well be Glossybox that does this now, because it has been a while since I ordered one. The range of products is a lot better than when I was last subscribed, but again there is not much from it that I would keep and use. I think I will stay subscribed for the time being, but I don’t think it will be a lengthy subscription this time. I hope you all have a wonderful and happy New Year! x

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...
