Glossybox #26 - March 2019

I received my last Glossybox for a while last week, as I cancelled my subscription last month, but you have to give 30 days notice to cancel otherwise you will still be charged for the next month’s box. Here is what I received:-

bellápierre Kiss Proof Lip Crème in Nude
This liquid lipstick is supposed to be full coverage, creamy, glide onto your lips, dry instantly, matte in finish and last for hours without needing a touch up. This comes across pink in the tube, but it is a nice nude shade. It is creamy, full coverage and glides onto your lips. The only thing I didn’t like is that it feels quite tacky, even after it has supposedly dried. It is tacky enough that your lips get stuck together when you close your mouth; this has put me off trying the other shades.
| 3.8g - £20.00 |

BYBI Plumper Lip Balm
This lip balm should have a thick and creamy formula that plumps, restores and protects your lips, whilst leaving them soft, smooth and healthy. It also contains peppermint and capsicum, which will plump your lips. This scent of this is quite strong and reminds me of medicinal ointment. I don’t like lip plumping products as I don’t like the way they feel on my lips, plus I don’t feel the need to plump my lips. It is quite dry product; I had to squeeze it quite hard to get some product out.
| 10ml - £9.00 |

LARITZY Cosmetics Dew Pot in Utopia
This highlighter is supposed to be smooth and blendable and provide a dewy glow that lasts all day. Utopia is a shimmery rosy pink shade. I am not really into cream blushes, bronzers or highlighters. I would say that this shade looks a little too dark for my pale skin tone anyway.
| 3.5g - £15.30 |

essence Instant Matte Make-Up Setting Spray
This setting spray should be lightweight, oil-free and non-sticky. You can also use it as a primer to create a matte base. I will give this product a go, but I don’t think it will replace my beloved Urban Decay setting spray. I could always use this one as a primer, as I only use my UD to set my make-up with.
| 50ml - £3.00 |

The Body Shop Nourishing Body Butter in Coconut
This body butter is supposed to be rich, creamy, softening, nourishing and hydrating. I have said numerous times before, I dislike body products. I use a moisturising body wash, so I don’t feel the need to use a separate body moisturiser. I also do not like the scent coconut. I will pass this product along to someone who will appreciate it.
| 50ml - £6.00 |

This was actually a good box really. Three out of five products are actually make-up related. I still don’t regret this being my last box for a while though.

The ‘Sneak Peak!’ for the April box, teases that everyone should receive a Dr Botanicals Pomegranate Superfood Regenerating Sleeping Mask. There will be two special box designs in April too. The theme will be fruity and floral.

Katie Price 'Stunning' Perfume VS JoJo Siwa 'Be You' Perfume - Are they the same?

I was browsing on AllBeauty.com and looking at celebrity fragrances and I saw that one was listed for JoJo Siwa. I had heard of JoJo before, but I don’t really know anything about her. I clicked on it out of interest and when I first saw the image of the perfume, I thought maybe the wrong photograph had been uploaded until I clicked on it and saw the description of the perfume. When I first saw the photograph, before I clicked on it to read the description, I instantly thought, that’s Stunning by Katie Price! I looked into it a bit more and compared it to Stunning. The JoJo Siwa “version” is called Be You. Photo Source: Perfume.com Stunning by Katie Price ·          Released in 2007 (12 years ago). ·          Contains the notes; Mandarin Orange, Jasmine & Patchouli. ·          Classed as a floral scent. ·          Marketed as an adult’s fragrance. ·          Diamonds by Next is a confirmed dupe of this perfume, but the bottle is completely different.

Jouer Skinny Dip Palette

I first saw this palette when Jouer released their Skinny Dip make-up collection and I nearly bought it, but I changed my mind because I already have a million palettes. As you can see, I have changed my mind again and I am very glad that I did. The packaging is quite compact. It is made out of reflective foil gold cardboard and the typography is simple. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift to reveal a small rectangular mirror on one side and then the six eyeshadow pans on the other. The shade names are written underneath each pan. You get six ultra-foil shimmer eyeshadows in blinding shades with a net weight of 7.5g. The sixth shade is actually described as more of a glitter shade. STAR LIGHT - platinum BIKINI - champagne pink SKINNY DIP - champagne gold TAN LINES - antique bronze MAGIC HOUR - warm taupe MIDNIGHT SWIM - cocoa bronze The eyeshadows should be highly pigmented, have an intense shimmery and metallic finish, be long wearing and cre

Urban Decay Super Saturated High-Gloss Lip Color

I received this product as part of the Oz: The Great and Powerful Theodora Palette, which also includes eyeliner. I am going to review the product as a whole, even though I only have it in the one shade. This product is a jumbo/chubby lip pencil with a black plastic lid. It is just like the Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliners, but bigger. Each barrel of each pencil is a different colour, to clearly show the colour of each shade. Theodora is a bright, creamy, glossy cherry red shade and is Limited Edition, but it is part of the regular line and is instead called F-Bomb . You get 2.8g of product and it is full size. You also have to sharpen it to dispense more product. The formula is smooth, creamy, glossy and slightly tacky, but not sticky. This product is supposed to give your lips an opaque, saturated and pigment rich colour with a glossy finish. It is also mean’t to be quite creamy so that it glides onto your lips. The product is also said to contain plant derived ingredients, whi
