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.

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...

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...
