Glossybox #25 - February 2019

This is my third Glossybox since I re-subscribed last year. It is also the Valentine’s Day themed box. I would say that so far, this box seems to be the one most tailored to my usual interests. I received seven products in this box, technically six because two go hand in hand.
HUDA BEAUTY Lip Contour in Venus
This lip pencil formula is supposed to be waterproof and transfer-free. It should glide on effortlessly and give your lips an intense shot of colour. You can use it to contour or colour your lips or pair it with a lipstick. Venus is a warm beige nude shade. It glides onto your lips very easy, but it feels a little tacky when you fill your whole lips in with it. I’m not sure how often I would use this seeing as though I have never used lip liner. I prefer liquid lipsticks and I don’t feel the need to line my lips before applying it.
| 1.20g - £16.00 |

NAILS INC Nail Varnish in Status Ready
This nail polish should be long lasting and super glossy. It is a deep cherry red shade. It has an expertly designed brush that fits the shape and width of your nail. The colour is nice and it was very easy to apply. I would consider buying other shades of this nail polish.
| 14ml - £15.00 |

LUXIE BEAUTY Medium Fan Brush (560)
This fan brush is supposed to be the perfect size to add a little shimmer to your complexion. I almost purchased a fan brush from Morphe just before Christmas, but I changed my mind because I think I prefer a more controlled brush like the Morphe Y14 or R36. I will still give this brush a go though.
| £15.00 |

REGENERATE Enamel Science Advanced Toothpaste
This toothpaste is supposed to be regenerating, strengthening and enamel mineral restoring. It should reverse the early enamel erosion process, whilst also giving you pearly-white teeth and minty fresh breath. I don’t think I have an issue with my enamel, but I will give this a go. I’m not sure if there can be any noticeable changes with a sample sized toothpaste. My current concern with my teeth is whitening them.
| 14ml - £2.50 |

VITAMASQUES Multivitamin Mask
This mask is supposed to nourish, moisturise and hydrate your face. It is a Korean face mask and it is used to achieve a healthy glow. I haven’t used a face mask in ages and I think I have only ever tried one sheet mask previously. I will definitely try out this mask. I actually have a few in my drawer that I have been meaning to try out.
| 1 Sheet Mask - £4.99 |

MUGLER Alien Fusion Eau De Parfum &
Alien Man Fusion Eau De Toilette
These are brand new fragrances by MUGLER and are a spin-off of the original Alien fragrance. The Alien Fusion scent is described as being “a hot and spicy scent with an intense, fiery trail”. It actually reminds me of the Diesel Loverdose perfume that I used to have. I think it is the sandalwood note, I originally thought liquorice, but this perfume does not contain a liquorice note. I do like the scent and it is quite mature, which isn’t really to my typical taste. The Alien Man Fusion scent is described as being “leathery, vibrant and addictive fragrance that will awaken his senses”. It reminded me of a Lynx body spray when I first sprayed it, with that sort of soapy clean scent. It is actually quite nice and I don’t think it really resembles the “female” version. I wouldn’t buy the Alien Fusion for myself, but I would get both versions as gifts for my loved ones.
| 1.2ml & 1.2ml |
Although I did like this box, I will be unsubscribing, again! There is nothing wrong with the service I received, I just like to get a box every once in a while. There are a lot of new beauty releases coming soon and I would rather save the money for those. I don’t tend to keep a lot of the products from the boxes and I don’t think I have ever re-purchased anything that I have tried. Beauty boxes are a great idea if you like testing out a variety of products. The special boxes always have cute designs too. I’m not sure if I will receive the March box yet, because I think you might have to give 30 days notice to cancel the subscription. If I do receive the March box, I will share my thoughts with you.

The ‘Sneak Peak!’ for the March box, teases that everyone should receive BYBI Plumper Lip Balm. The lip balm is supposed to be a beauty essential for plumper, smoother and intensely hydrated lips. It contains peppermint and blood orange. It is made with natural ingredients and is vegan and cruelty-free.

e.l.f Earth & Ocean Palette

I haven’t purchased anything from e.l.f in the longest time. I happened upon a post of this palette on Instagram and the complimentary comments really peaked my interest in trying it for myself. Palettes I have tried from e.l.f. in the past haven’t been the greatest of quality; I kind of associate the brand as being for children, beginners or natural beauty wearers. I was also interested in the Retro Paradise Palette , but I thought I would get more use out of this one at the moment.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is quite simple with a clear/black outlined plastic rectangular shape. The fronting is transparent so that you can see the eyeshadows from the outside of the palette. It has a clip closing, which you push apart to reveal the inside. The square eyeshadow pans are spread out across a black base and the shade names are printed in grey font under each pan. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.94g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Glitter (G), Satin (S) and Shi...

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...

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...
