Glossybox #3 - February 2012

Today I finally got their regular Glossybox, in the really light pink box, when I first saw it I thought it was white! It definitely looks very sleek. But I got shower gel, yet again! Here is what I got. 1.      DUWOP Venom Gloss in Buttercup (5ml Sample Size) It is a really pretty colour, but it was barely noticeable on my lips, plus I don’t like plumping glosses because of the plumping tingling sensation. Visit  www.shop.duwop.com  and get 20% off any full sized Venom Gloss by entering the code GlossyVG12. (Expires 31/03/2012) 2.      IMPRESS Press-on Manicure in Holla! (Full Size) I am yet to try these out, but the pattern is really lovely. I suspect that they may be too small for some of my nails though! You also get a nail prep pad, to prep your nail before you start pressing the nails on. www.impressmanicure.com 3.      AWAPUHI by PAUL MITCHELL Wild Ginger Treatment Oil (25ml Size...

Glossybox #2 - January 2012

This is the Limited Edition hot pink January Valentine Glossybox. The box is a really lovely colour and you get a cute sweet as well.

Here is what I got. 1.      EYEKO Skinny Eyeliner in Emerald Green (Full Size) I haven’t tried this out on my eye yet but I am expecting good things, because it was quite soft and pigmented when I swatched it on my hand.

EOTD #6 - Shopping Alone

I decided not to do a lot on my eyes as I could not be bothered to be honest. I am also going shopping in a bit, on my own... how sad, I don’t mind though, I won’t be out long. Eyes:- On my eyelids and lower lashes I have Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in Sippin’ n Dippin’ . For eyeliner I used Rimmel Special Eyes Precision Eye Liner Pencil in 161 Black Magic on my upper lash line and waterline. For mascara I used 17 Falsifeye Mascara in Blackest Black on my upper lashes and Barry M Lengthening Mascara in Shade 11 Electric Purple on my lower lashes and the tips of my upper lashes. Lastly I used Vaseline Lip Therapy in Original on my eyebrows as a wax so I could use the Rimmel Colour Rush Quad Eyeshadow in 002 Smokey Brun (the hazel colour) to fill in my eyebrows. Lips:- I used EOS Lipbalm in Passion Fruit to prepare my lips and then I used e.l.f Studio Matte Lip Colour in Tea Rose . Face:- I primed my face with MUA Professional Face Primer and then I u...

Glossybox #1 - December 2011

As you can tell I recently subscribed to the Glossybox. I actually thought I was getting the January 2012 box, but apparently I was too early for that and got sent the Limited Edition December 2011 box, which by the way I am happy with. Glossybox are a website which you can subscribe to for £12.95 (UK) a month and receive a box containing 5 luxury samples of beauty products that may not be widely available in your country or maybe too expensive for you to even consider trying. I received the Limited Edition December 2011 box, which is red instead of pink. And I got 5 items, and 2 were full sized. All of the products in the box are useful to me apart from the cream, but other than that, this box has definitely got me to stay subscribed to see what the January box has to offer. 1.     BLINK+Go Hi-Definition Mascara in Black (8g Full Size) I haven’t tried this out yet but I am expecting good things. The beauty card, that comes with every glossybox says t...

1st Haul of 2012

From Superdrug I purchased yet another Barry M Nail Paint. This one has been on my list for a while though, it is called 310 Mushroom and it is just a beige/brown colour, and cost £2.99, which gave me 2 BeautyCard Points. Today from Boots I bought two Soap & Glory Gift Sets called ‘Soaper Heroes’ for £12.77 and ‘Yum At Heart’ for £8 (was £16). The Soaper Heroes gift set is not a Christmas one; I think it is a kind of permanent line set, whereas the Yum At Heart gift set was for Christmas. In the Soaper Heroes set you get a 100ml Girligo Body Mist, 50ml Righteous Body Butter, 50ml Flakeaway Body Scrub, 75ml Clean on Me shower gel and 50ml Hair Supply Hair Repair Mask. Soap & Glory describe this as a mini travel size selection of their most loved products. In the Yum At Heart set you get a 125ml Hand Food hand cream, 300ml The Breakfast Scrub and a Print Apron. At the weekend I picked up a Maybelline The One by One Volum’ Express Mascara for £8.49 from Boots. There wa...

Boxing Day Haul #1

There is always a Boxing Day sale, so I thought I would hit Boots and look at the discounted gift sets. To my disappointment there was no gift sets left of Soap & Glory, apart from the one I picked up. From Boots I picked up the Soap & Glory Heaven Nose gift set for £8 (was £16), which includes the 50ml perfume in Original Pink and a 150ml pot of their Righteous Butter. I must say the perfume is quite nice! I also picked up the Dove Glamour Essentials gift set for £5 (was £10), which includes a 250ml Summer Glow & Soft Shimmer Nourishing Lotion, 150ml Invisible Dry Anti Perspirant Deodorant and a Black Rose Double Compact Mirror. What sold me was the mirror because I thought it was pretty and I was looking for another compact mirror. The Dove products also come in a small black travel beauty bag. From Argos I reserved and picked up an Oral B Professional Care 1000 Electric Toothbrush for £27.99 (was £59.99). I also went to Tesco to get the complete Harry Pott...

NYX Haul #1

I actually purchased and received these items a few weeks ago, but I wanted to wait to haul them. Plus three of the items are going to be given as Christmas gifts, so I didn’t want a certain someone to see what I have bought them before tomorrow. So let’s get started! First off this group of items are from Love-Makeup.co.uk, but the other two items are from eBay. From Love-Makeup.co.uk I bought five NYX products. They include The Runway Collection Eye Palette in Velvet Rope for £10. This palette has very pretty purple shades, and I intend to give this as a gift for Christmas. The items I bought for myself are two Slide On Pencils in Esmeralda and Pretty Violet for £6.50 each, and these are shades I cannot find in my nearest drugstores and they are the type of shades I want and need in my ‘make-up collection’. Lastly I bought two Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencils in Milk and Yogurt for £4.50 each and I have wanted Milk for ages and I saw Yogurt swatched and thought it looked pretty, ...
