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 ^COproducts 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 intact, so it was a manufacturing fault. Luckily, my Mum was kind enough to get me another copy with the eyeliner, so I now have it.

You also get two free samples inside the magazine, a sachet of L’ORÉAL Hair Expertise EverRiche Shampoo - 10ml (Page 49) and a sachet of GARNIER Miracle Skin Perfection BB Cream - 1.5ml (Page 69).

Also what I think may be another manufacture fault is the fact that only one of the three magazines I picked up had the actual sample sachet of BB cream! But I can’t really complain because I got a new mascara and eyeliner a whole lot cheaper than the retail price!

Next month’s issue (August 2013) is out on the 8^th July and there are four free balance Me. products to choose from.

Thank you for reading ☼

Birchbox #2 - July 2014

This is my second ever Birchbox (arrived yesterday) and I was interested to see if it beat last month’s box. I got another free lifestyle extra, so I am assuming you get one every month! Here is what I received this month:- Models Own Nail Polish in Sparkler | £5 – ModelsOwnIt.com | This is my first ever Models Own nail polish and it is from the Fireworks collection. It looks like a very pretty top coat, but I’m not sure if I would actually use it. Only time will tell! Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream | £20 (15ml) – BalanceMe.co.uk | I have owned a lip balm from this brand before and this eye cream does sound interesting. I will give it a go because I am always on the lookout for a new/different eye cream. LAQA & CO Lip Lube in Menatour | £14.95 (full size) – LAQAandCO.co.uk | I have never heard of this brand before and this product looks very interesting. It is a cute mini size and the colour is a bright purple. It is not something I would typically we...

Perfume Power! - Soap & Glory™ 'Original Pink'

Courtesy of HarveyNichols.com I got this in the ‘Heaven Nose’ gift set one year from the Boxing Day sales after Christmas. The bottle is a round shape made of silver mirrored glass, with the Soap & Glory logo as pink lettered stickers scattered on the front as the design. It has a regular perfume spritzer and instead of the regular bottle cap, this has a small band, which you push in so that it clings around the spritzer and prevents the spritzer from spraying. To use the perfume, you have to pull the band off by using the attached brown ribbon with pink detailing. The fragrance notes are:- Bergamot, Summer Rose, Peach, Strawberry, Gardenia Blooms, Jasmine, Patchouli, Amber & Musk This perfume is described as being fresh, fruity and light. It is definitely a light feminine scent. It is not overpowering at all. The bottle has a very simple and girly design and the scent is the Formula 1 scent, which is what most of Soap & Glory products smell li...

Glossybox #17 - October 2015

I can’t believe that we are nearly half way through October already! It seems like the year has flown by recently. I wasn’t really looking forward to this box, but it has surprised me a bit. Here is what I received this month: So Susan Haute Light Highlighting Pencil | £15.00 | I prefer a highlighter like Benefit High Beam, so it will be interesting to see how this works. It does come across relatively creamy for a sharp jumbo pencil. Talika Photo-Hydra Day Moisturiser | 30ml - £24.85 | Another moisturiser for your face is always very useful. I can’t really see it being anything special. Nicka K Airbrush Blending Sponge | £6.50 | This looks quite a bit like the BeautyBlender, but has a different shape. I imagine it will do the exact same thing, but it is a lot cheaper option. I am interested in giving it a try, although I prefer the old finger and hand method of applying foundation and concealer. Jelly Pong Pong Play Paint in Damson | £8.95 | It ...
