Glossybox #6 - May 2012

Happy Birthday!
This month is Glossybox’s birthday, so I have received their birthday box yesterday! You get your five products, as usual and two extras, a double sided pocket mirror and a pink Happy Birthday balloon! So let’s get into what I got.
NOBLE ISLE Summer Rising Bath & Shower Gel
- 75ml Sample Size
The beauty card says that this is, “An immaculate fragrance evoking the beginnings of summer”. It smells really nice and it reminds me of a Lion King perfume I had when I was a child.

Lolita Lempicka Perfume Samples
Lolita Lempicka & Si Lolita
- 8ml Sample Size’s
The full size bottles for these perfumes are very cute indeed, as are the little samples I got, but I have to say they are not my kind of scents at all, because they smell like they would be for more mature women, but I will use them up.

Lolita Lempicka is the stronger smelling of the two in a violet coloured vile and strikes me as more of a night time kind of scent; it is described as being a floral scent with liquorice flower, which is why it smells quite strong and musky. I couldn’t wear this on an everyday basis, because it reminds me a bit of the Pink Sugar perfume, which makes me feel sick.

Si Lolita is the lighter more natural smelling of the two in a light pink coloured vile and is more of a day scent. It is definitely a floral scent because you can really smell the sweet pea, which comes across a bit spicy. I think this is the one I prefer the most out of the two.

APIVITA Express Beauty Masks with Orange
- 8ml Sample Size’s
I haven’t tried these out yet, but I will do eventually. The masks are supposed to enhance the antioxidant action with their green tea infusion and they do not contain water. Overall

OSMO Berber Oil Hair Treatment
- 10ml Sample Size
This is a hair oil, which contain argon oil and it says it is suitable for all types of hair. It is supposed to nourish dry and damaged hair. It smells quite nice, like Haribo Gummy Bears, but because it is oil I cannot use it, because it may be suitable for all hair, but putting an oil product on oily hair doesn’t make sense to me.

Eldora False Eyelashes in B144
- Full Size
These are really nice looking lashes. People were complaining about which ones they received, because apparently there were glittery/drag queen ones, which obviously people weren’t into. So I am glad I got the most ‘natural’ pair. I do not wear fake eye lashes, but I will try these one day, but they are quite flimsy, so I think I would struggle a lot, but on the plus side, they already come with glue and they are quite inexpensive.

This was sadly my last box though, as I have now un-subscribed, because I am getting bored of them now! I will be doing a post about my experience as a whole very soon, so look out for that!

HUDA BEAUTY Purple Haze Obsessions Palette

I’ve previously only tried one HUDA BEAUTY mini palette before, but this one really caught my eye. I almost bought the Khaki version too. I eventually decided on only picking up the purple one as I wasn’t massively impressed with the Topaz Obsessions Palette I previously tried.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is made of translucent purple plastic and it is square shaped. It just has the palette branding across the front in place of a design and it has a clip closing, which you lift up to reveal the square eyeshadow pans arranged in threes across an opaque matte purple base. The eyeshadows do not have names. There is also a little mirror on the underside of the lid. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get nine 0.64g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME) and Shimmery Topper (ST) finishes.   ·          Smokey Shades ·          Buttery Mattes ·          Intense Metal...

Serial Sampler #42

I have wanted to try this fragrance for a very long time and I have seen the advertisements with Charlize Theron countless times over the years. For some reason, I just didn’t look for it to test so I thought it was about time I did. I decided to purchase a sample online.   It is J’adore by Christian Dior and it is a 1ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ J’adore’s original composition is a sophisticated harmony blossoming from Comoro Islands Ylang-Ylang and Damascus Rose Essences and Jasmine Sambac Absolute. ” Launched: 1999   Type: Floral Fruity / Feminine Notes Top: Pear, Melon, Magnolia, Peach, Mandarin Orange and Bergamot. Middle: Jasmine, Lily-Of-The-Valley, Tuberose, Freesia, Rose, Orchid, Plum and Violet. Base: Musk, Vanilla, Blackberry and Cedar. My assumption before testing this fragrance is that it would smell like an old classic (old lady) floral. It is very floral, but you do get the hit of the fresh fruity notes. I can mostly detect the Magnoli...
