Glossybox #22 - March 2016

I have been looking forward to receiving this box, not because of sneak peeks (I actually haven't seen any) it’s because I used my Glossydots to purchase it. It can take ages to save the points, plus I don’t really like doing the reviews, but it is worth it to get a ‘free’ box once in a while. Here is what I got this month:- LUXIE Rose Gold Large Angled Face Brush (504) | Full Size | This is a lovely looking brush and the bristles are so soft. I am looking forward to giving it ago. I will most likely use it for bronzer or maybe highlighter. --- £10.42 --- OLAY Regenerist Skin Tone Perfecting Cream | 7ml - Sample | This is a cute little sample and it smells really nice. --- £29.99 - 50ml --- Hey Honey Good Morning Honey Silk Facial Serum | 15ml - Sample | I’ve not heard of this brand before and the packaging is nice. You have to cut the top of the applicator to open it, which will keep the product nice and fresh until you want to start using it. --- ...

Glossybox #19 - December 2015

I have been really looking forward to this box as I knew it would be rose gold themed. All the products were carefully selected by the Beauty Blogger ReallyRee, for this special looking limited edition Christmas box.  Here is what I received:- être belle Golden Skin Caviar Eye Roll On | 10ml - £30.66 | This product is a bit odd and really doesn’t appeal to me at all! So Susan Statement Skin Highlighter Pencil in Starlight | 1.8g - £15.00 | This is a very strange colour and the cream shape is odd too. I am not interested in this product one bit. I prefer light pink highlighters and this is a yellow gold shade, not flattering at all for my skin tone! COLLECTION Long Lasting Nail Effects in Touch of Glamour (31) | 8ml - £2.99 | This nail polish looks really pretty and it is definitely my kind of shade (rose gold). I am looking forwarded to trying it on my nails. I think it would look beautiful on it’s own. Hylamide Pore Delete | 10ml - £18.00...

Glossybox #14 - May 2015

I wasn’t really looking forward to this box from the previews I saw last month, but each box is still a surprise. Here is what I got this month:- MeMeMe Enchanted Eyes Dual Ended Eye Wand in Midnight Storm | £6.95 | The colours do look quite pretty, but I find the points are too large for eyeliner. For someone who is not a pro at applying eyeliner, I try and buy pencils with smaller points. They do feel quite creamy and apply nice when swatched, so I am sure they could probably be used as bases, although I do sense that they would be buggers for creasing! Etre Belle Aloe Vera Ultra Moisturising Gel | 40ml - £15.93 | This looks kind of odd in the tube, but I am interested to try it because I’ve only ever tried cream moisturisers. Zerreau Towel Off Shampoo Foam | 70ml - £7.95 | This is not really a product that interests me. I get why it exists, but I would want my hair to feel clean and not just look clean. I would still opt for an actual full hair wash. S...

NOTD #3 - Look At Me In Lincoln Square

I decided to try out a couple of nail polishes today, one I bought last year and the other yesterday. NYC In A NEW YORK Color Minute Quick Dry Nail Polish in Lincoln Square Lavender – it is just a really soft, milky, matte, pastel lavender colour. I did two coats of this colour. I bought this colour last year for £1.79 from Superdrug. Collection 2000 HOT Looks Fast Dry Nail Polish in Look At Me (59) – it is just a yellow toned milky green, which reminds of a colour by OPI from the Shrek collection. I did five coats of this colour. I bought this colour yesterday for £1.79 from Morrisons (UK), and it is actually a brand new colour and I am also after the shade called Electric Dreams – which is a turquoise/teal colour.

Collective Haul, Well, Kind Of!

Today I have kind of a “collective” haul for you, meaning just a few items I bought on separate days, really! My hair straighteners were failing, and I wanted to get some new ones before they totally packed up so I went to Argos on the 20 th October and bought the Nicky Clarke Jewel Collection, which includes a 2000W hair dryer and ceramic hair straighteners. Luckily there was a discount offer on this set so I got it for half price at £29.99 instead of £59.99. Plus it was cheaper to buy the set than just hair straighteners from Nicky Clarke, because I got a new hair dryer, so I don’t have to worry about my current one failing, plus I wanted them because they are purple, which is my favourite colour and they match, unlike my other straighteners and dryer. On the 22 nd October I went to Superdrug and bought yet another Barry M Nail Paint, this time I bought the NEW nail effects crackle polish in 321 Gold Glitter for £3.99 and I earned 3 points with this purchase. And ye...
