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 this mascara makes your lashes “Longer, thicker, sexier. Give your natural lashes a stunning flake – free, waterproof boost”.

Visit www.blinkandgo.co.uk and click on the Glossy Pod to receive 25% off any Blink+Go Eyeshadow and Blush Duo or Mascara when entering the code Glossy4 at the checkout. (Expires 31/01/2012)

2.    CARGO COSMETICS Classic Lipgloss in Serengeti (0.45g Sample Size)
I have tried this out and the colour is quite shear and the formula is not sticky and it is very shiny with small glitters. I quite like this product but it is not something I would personally buy, also there is not much product in the tube, as expected for sample size. The beauty card says “Cargo’s new Lip Gloss formulation! Perfect shades, great wear and high-shine without being sticky”.

3.    DEBORAH LIPPMANN Nail Varnish in Razzle Dazzle (Sample Size)
- And A sachet of The Stripper to Go Nail Varnish Remover Mitts (1 Mit)
I have tried this on one nail and although the colour is really pretty, you need quite a few coats on your nail, which is not so good! I haven’t tried out the mitt just yet! The beauty card says “Party glitter nail colour with a sachet of the most amazing polish remover finger nail mitt”.
Go to www.houseoffraser.co.uk/ and search Deborah Lippmann to view the full range.

4.    JURLIQUE Age Defying Ultra Firm and Lift Cream (5ml Sample Size)
I haven’t tried this yet and it is the only item from this box that I consider useless for me, because it is an anti-ageing cream and I am barely a legal adult. Nether-the-less I might just use it up. The beauty card says “A high-performance anti-ageing cream designed to help promote the regeneration of elastin, collagen and new skin cells.

Visit www.jurlique.co.uk to receive 15% off the range when entering the code GLOSSY15. (Expires 31/01/2012)

5.    RITUALS Foaming Shower Gel in Zensation (200ml Full Size)
I haven’t used this yet but I have smelt it and it smells amazing and I can’t wait to use it, and hey, it is full size! It is my favourite item from this box so far. The beauty card says “This unique foaming shower gel gently cleanses your skin and leaves it silky soft and smooth”.

Receive £5 off with any purchase over £25 with presentation of this barcode (beauty card) in any UK Rituals store. Not valid in department stores or online. Not to be used in conjunction with any other offer.1 Per Person. (Expires 29/02/2012)

Perfume Power! - Harajuku Lovers 'G'

I received this perfume as an Easter gift from a family member. The bottle design is really cute. It has a doll figure cap, which lifts off and the actual bottle is clear and simple glass, it kind of has a flower shaped base. The size I have is very small, so it is handy for your handbag. And I suppose you could keep the doll for collector’s purposes, when you have used up the perfume. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Crisp Mandarin, Fresh Coconut & Apple Skin Middle Notes: Jasmine Sambac, Soft Freesia & Magnolia Vapour Base Notes: Coconut Cream, White Sandalwood & Cottonwoods To me it smells really strong for an eau de toilette. I quite like the scent because it is very feminine and quite sweet. The only thing I don’t like about it is the coconut. I don’t really like the coconut scent anyway. Other than that, it smells amazing, until the coconut hits your nose. I can also smell the floral side to it as well, the coconut does complement the flor...

Graze - Box #10

I have another Graze box post for you today. I am thinking of stopping these posts soon because it is starting to feel compulsory and I need to post more relevant beauty related content. A closer look at my treats. Graze’s Popping Corn ‘Lightly Salted’ I have tried this before and it is really nice and not overly salty. You get quite a bit of corn in the bag too, even though it is a small packet. Lightly Toasted Pistachios “Whole pistachios toasted with a little salt” I have had this packet before too and I just love pistachios! Tomato & Basil Pizza “Basil crunchini, cheese cashews & mini tomato breadsticks” This is my first experience with this packet, but each snack has been in other packets I have tried before. The crunchini is very nice and it’s just like croutons. The cheese cashews are nice and I do still really like the tomato breadsticks/baguettes. Herby Bread Basket “Basil baguettes, garlic crostini and oregano ric...

Glamour Magazine - July 2013

Yesterday I picked up the new edition of Glamour Magazine, well three copies of them actually! It is the July 2013 edition and you get a choice of five free MODEL CO products and four different magazine covers ( Rebel Wilson , Zooey Deschanel , Myleene Klass & Daniel Radcliffe ). I have never heard of the MODEL CO brand before, but judging by their website, they are marketed as high end. I’m not sure what size the items in the magazines are, but I have listed the full sizes and prices below. FIBRE LASHXTEND Mascara - £28 SHINE Ultra Lip Gloss in Strip Tease - £12 SHINE Ultra Lip Gloss in Showgirl Red - £12 COLOURBOX Eye Pencil in Black 01 - £14 LIP ENHANCER Illusion Lip Liner - £16 I decided to pick up two copies because this month’s edition is £1 instead of £2. I got the FIBRE LASHXTEND Mascara and COLOURBOX Eye Pencil in Black 01 .  When I got home and I opened them, I soon realised the eyeliner box was empty! L All the plastic packaging was inta...
