Glossybox #5 - April 2012

My April Glossybox arrived this morning, well I had to fetch it because the stupid postman left it in front of my front gate and left the gate wide open, so I’m surprised someone didn’t take it! It is another limited edition box, I’ve only received one regular box since I’ve been subscribed. This box is their Natural Beauty Box, with natural and organic beauty products only and the actual glossybox box is bio-degradable, so it is Earth friendly.
CAUDALIE Vinosource SOS Thirst-Quenching Serum
- 10ml Sample Size
The beauty card says that this product is a “newly-launched ultra-concentrated serum” and is “plant-based, ensuring your skin never lacks moisture”. This product smells really nice, but I’m not sure that it is something I would incorporate into my face routine, but I’ll look into what a serum actually is and what the benefits are, so I will be trying it soon! It is a 10ml size, but Caudalie samples are never how much they say they are I’ve had a sample before and there was literally one tiny bead of product, much less than what it said was inside.

INIKA Certified Organic Eyeliner in Purple Minx
- 1.2g Sample Size
This product is described as having “a rich and creamy consistency unparalleled in the world of natural liners”. Mine came in a box that said the shade was Black Caviar, but when I opened it and saw it was purple I thought, what? But on the side of the actual pencil it says Purple Minx. It is a dark plum purple colour and is quite creamy, but I have creamier eyeliners that are not organic.

ayuuri Natural Body Wash in Coconut
- 200ml Full Size
The beauty card says, “The Ayuuri Natural skincare range is based on fruit, plant and flower extracts that have long been used in India to enhance skin’s natural beauty”. This product smells quite nice and I don’t like coconut, but the jasmine and aloe vera balance it out for me, so I like it.

Figs & ROUGE Lip Balm in Rambling Rose
- 8ml Full Size
It is described as being a “100% pure, 100% natural and 100% organic multi-purpose balm. Excellent for soothing and naturally hydrating dry lips and skin”. I really love the smells of this and the tin is quite cute too, although the product is quite soft and creamy, not like a Vaseline lip balm in a tin.

kai Perfume Oil
- 1.5ml Sample Size
This perfume is described as an “intoxicating signature perfume oil fragranced with Kai’s light, intoxicating blend of gardenia wrapped in white exotics”. It smells quite nice, fresh and really natural. It lasts a few hours on the skin; I would not personally wear this if I didn’t have the sample to use up.

Overall I was quite impressed with this box; definitely a thousand times better than the Harrods box last month!

Perfume Power! - Next 'Paradise'

I first smelt this perfume after receiving it in a mini gift set about ten years ago and I have loved it ever since. This 100ml size is my first bottle of it though, other than the tester/sample size. The bottle is quite tall and it is a sort of clutch bag shape if you turn it on its side. The bottle is a simple design and you can easily see how much perfume you have. On mine the spray pump sometimes gets stuck in the band around the neck of the bottle, but the problem is easily solved. I can’t find a specific note list anywhere for this perfume, but on Next’s site it is described as, "a light fruity fragrance with white florals and green notes". To me it smells really fruity and fresh. It is also multifunctional because it is quite strong and sexy, so perfect for a night out, but it is also not too overpowering and smells fresh and fruity enough for day time wear. It is actually an eau de toilette, which means that it is less concentrated, but I find that it is st...

TAG - The Good, The Bad, The British

Photo: EnchantedIvyGifts.co.uk I was browsing my subscription videos on YouTube and I saw that EssieButton uploaded a new TAG video called The British Tag, and after watching it I decided I wanted to do the TAG too. I believe this TAG was created by BeautyCrush , so all credit is awarded to her. 1. How many cups of tea do you have a day & how do you take it? I drink around three cups of tea a day and I take mine with one small sugar and a bit of semi-skimmed milk. Tea is also the only hot drink I like. 2. What is your favourite part of a Sunday roast? My favourite part of a roast is the vegetables. I love kale & leak and broccoli! My Mum’s gravy is also to die for. 3. What is your favourite dunking biscuit? I don’t dunk biscuits anymore, but when I was younger I loved dunking Bourbons. If I was to dunk a biscuit now, I would probably choose either a Rich Tea or plain Digestive. 4. What is your quintessential British pastime? I love visiting ruins/m...
