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. Next month will be the first time I receive the regular Glossybox with their like pink coloured box.

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. The beauty card, that comes with every glossybox says this eyeliner Provides “precise definition and intense colour with a long-lasting finish”.

2. ORLY Nail Lacquer in Ruby (5.3ml Sample Size)

I have not tried this out yet, but the colour looks really nice and it is my first Orly polish. The beauty card says “Orly, the top Californian brand, offers an infinite range of colours”.

3. WELEDA One Step Cleanser & Toner (10ml Sample Size)

I tried this once and you don’t get enough to see if it works, but it doesn’t really interest me, I am just using it to use it up! I also don’t like that you have to wash it off and the scent reminds of a children’s cough medicine, which I like by the way, very lemony! The beauty card says “Weleda One-Step Cleanser & Toner is a handy two-in-one pack ideal for travel”.

4. FAB (First Aid Beauty) Gentle Body Wash (56.7g Sample Size)

I have tried this and it doesn’t interest me at all! I also don’t like that it does not smell of anything, I buy body washes for their scent. I am just going to use this up!. The beauty card says “A moisturising, irritant-free everyday cleanser ideal for even the most sensitive skin”.

5. MURAD Hybrids Skin Perfecting Primer – Dewy Finish (5ml Sample Size)

I haven’t used this yet but I will probably just use it as a basic primer and not really take much notice of the skin perfecting, as the sample is too small to do so, but we’ll see!. The beauty card says “Oil-free primer ignites a radiant glow, powered by light-enhancing minerals”.

Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Palette

I first saw a preview of this palette in early August on the Trendmood Instagram page. I just knew I had to have it. I also own and love the Gingerbread Spice and Gingerbread Extra Spicy Palettes by Too Faced. These are the only types of holiday palettes that actually interest me from Too Faced. All of their other holiday palettes tend to be gimmicky (but pretty looking) and not good quality. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a rounded rectangular shaped tin in a beautiful pumpkin orange colour. The design on the front kind of looks like spread on a cracker. The name of the palette is printed in two different raised fonts. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The little rectangular eyeshadow pans are arranged across a metallic gold base, with the shade names printed in a small black font above each pan. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid of the palette. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.70g eyeshadows in Matte (M),...

Serial Sampler #17

I chose this sample as my free gift with purchase and I hadn’t heard of the brand before. It happens to be part of a series of four fragrances and they are all unisex/genderless. The designs of the full sized bottles are very interesting and artsy. Looking at the four, had I been able to pick which one to receive, I most likely would have chosen the one called 10am Flirt as it seems the fruitiest based of the four. The sample I have is Santal Sky by KIERIN NYC and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. “Intertwined like vines, we stroll through Central Park. Leaves release their woody fragrance. Under a canopy of trees, in the center of it all, we are a million miles from city life. Music from impromptu drum circles, the rhythm of runners’ footsteps, diverse languages fill my ears like poetry. This retreat into nature refreshes my soul. The sun smiling down upon us, I pull my loved one close. In synchronicity we breathe.” It contains a mixture notes, such ...
