Glossybox #7 - February 2014

I saw an advertisement for this particular box and I instantly fell in love with the design, so I had to re-subscribe straight away to get it. The box design looks just as lovely in person and I will keep it and re-use it for storage. Here is what I got in this box:-
Ciaté Paint Pot in Play Date
This product is full size and it is a gorgeous bold pop pink shade with a touch of coral in a crème finish. Mine didn’t come with the cute bow decoration, but it is still a distinctive and cute design, unlike any other polish I own. The colour however is similar to what I already own, but I still love it and will definitely wear it.
13.5ml | £9

H2K Je t’adore Aromatic Shampoo & Sensual Hydrating Conditioner
I’ve never of this brand before and the products smell lovely. I am just not into hair care or trying new products on my hair, so I will probably give these to my sister.
30ml & 40ml | £2.48

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in 725 Tantalizing Taupe
This lipstick is part of the new Stripped Nudes collection and it is a slightly beige/taupe pink nude shade. It is not typically a shade of lipstick I would choose, but I will give it a try as it is my first Maybelline lipstick ever!
2.5g | £6.99

Nougat Sparkling Body Shimmer
I have not heard of this brand before either and this particular product doesn’t interest me at all. I dislike body butters/lotions anyway, so why would I go and use a glittery one? I will probably give this away.
100ml | £14 (250ml)

Sleep In Rollers Backcombing Brush
This is something I have never tried before and I am not sure I want to, but I suppose I should give it a go! If I change my mind, my sister can have this too.

Lindt Lindor Treat Bar
I don’t eat Lindt chocolate because Cadbury’s is the BEST! This chocolate bar was not bad, it is very rich and it melts in your mouth. One bar was definitely enough though! I probably wouldn’t go out and buy it, but it was a nice added extra and Valentine’s treat.

You also get the February 2014 Edition on Glossy Magazine, which is a first for me and not typically something I would be interested in, but it is a good addition.

Overall I wasn’t really impressed. The only product I would actually use is the nail polish; I already ate the chocolate bar! I gave the majority of the products to my sister because she would get more use out of them. I’ve said before, hair care products are wasted on me because I have no interest and I have to use particular products. I only subscribed to this one box and this box hasn’t made me want to re-subscribe completely. I may re-subscribe again when the next ‘special’ box is due, but other than that, I will not miss Glossybox, sorry!

What did you think of this month’s box?

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 ...
