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.

Empties #10 - August & September 2013

I have combined two month’s worth of empties again. At the end of August my box wasn’t that full, so I decided to carry on collecting and hope I use up more stuff. The majority of stuff I used up was necessities as usual, but there are some extra bits too. Here is what I managed to use up within two months:- Morrisons So Clear Dual Action Moisturiser | 100ml I have used another tube of this and have already re-purchased it. It works really well and doubles as a hand cream and most importantly, it is very inexpensive. Price - £1.49 Listerine Total Care Mouthwash in Clean Mint (Purple) | 500ml This is my favourite mouthwash and I have already re-purchased it. Although I get it for around £2.99, I still wish it was cheaper. Price - £4.60 Right Guard Women Total Defence 5 48H Invisible Power Anti-Perspirant Deodorant | 150ml + 250ml I have used more of these as usual and I still haven’t found anything that is better. I have however found a cheaper place to buy it f...

Oden's Eye Solmåne Eyeshadow Palette

I first heard of this indie brand through watching Angelika Oles’ beauty channel on YouTube. Oden’s Eye is a Swedish indie brand and they make Norse mythology themed products. This is one of two eyeshadow palettes I decided to purchase; I also picked up the two matching highlighter palettes.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is small and rectangular in shape. It is made out of cardboard and it has a sort of textured covering (like on pogs). The design and imagery is so unique to the brand. Solmåne means the sun and moon in Swedish. Sol represents the Sun Goddess and Måne represents the Moon God. Both Gods are represented on the packaging. There is a colour split of warm and cool toned shades (lavender, pink, orange & yellow) along with moon, star and Norse symbols. The wheel around the Gods is metallic gold, so it really reflects the light when you move the palette around. The eyeshadow shade names are printed on the back of the palette. The palette has a magnetic closing/opening, ...

Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Palette

I first saw a preview of this palette in early August on the Trendmood Instagram page. I just knew I had to have it. I also own and love the Gingerbread Spice and Gingerbread Extra Spicy Palettes by Too Faced. These are the only types of holiday palettes that actually interest me from Too Faced. All of their other holiday palettes tend to be gimmicky (but pretty looking) and not good quality. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a rounded rectangular shaped tin in a beautiful pumpkin orange colour. The design on the front kind of looks like spread on a cracker. The name of the palette is printed in two different raised fonts. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The little rectangular eyeshadow pans are arranged across a metallic gold base, with the shade names printed in a small black font above each pan. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid of the palette. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.70g eyeshadows in Matte (M),...
