Glossybox #9 - April 2014

You may have noticed that last Friday I posted about my June 2014 Glossybox, well the day after I received that one, my free box came and I am annoyed! I was led to believe from the e-mail that the free box would be July, but instead I received the April 2014 box! I noticed that a few people were annoyed too, but Glossybox insist they promised a free past box, not the limited edition 4^th July box! Anyway, here is what I got in this box:-

EMITE MAKE UP Lip Brush (L312)

| £17 – EmiteMakeUp.com |

I’ve not heard of this brand before and it is an odd shaped lip brush. I will definitely try it out and I can’t believe how expensive it is!

MONU Spa Warming Ginger Massage & Body Oil

| £26 (100ml) – MonuShop.co.uk |

This brand is too new to me and I’m not really into oils. I will however give this a go because it smells lovely.

MeMeMe Cosmetics Beat The Blues in Pearl Pink

| £5.50 (12ml) – MeMeMeCosmetics.co.uk |

I have heard of this brand and my local Superdrug used to sell it. I was interested in buying this exact product and then my Superdrug discontinued the brand, but I can now try it. It reminds me so much of my beloved Benefit High Beam.

TRESemmé Instant Refresh Cleansing Dry Shampoo

| £4.99 (200ml) – Tresemme.co.uk |

I have used this brand for years and I don’t mind trying a new dry shampoo. It doesn’t really smell like you would expect, but I will be interested to test it on my oily hair!

Unica Cosmetics Radiance Plus

Bergamot & Lavender

| £12.95 (50ml) – UnicaCosmetics.com |

This brand is completely new to me and the product does smell nice. I will give it a go, seeing as though I am always shopping around for new face moisturisers to try.

Although I am disappointed that this is the free box, this box is actually quite nice. Not as good as June’s box, but there is products here that I will use. I am keeping my subscription still though because I really want July’s box, even if I have to pay for it!

What are your thoughts on this box?

Glossybox #25 - February 2019

This is my third Glossybox since I re-subscribed last year. It is also the Valentine’s Day themed box. I would say that so far, this box seems to be the one most tailored to my usual interests. I received seven products in this box, technically six because two go hand in hand. HUDA BEAUTY Lip Contour in Venus This lip pencil formula is supposed to be waterproof and transfer-free. It should glide on effortlessly and give your lips an intense shot of colour. You can use it to contour or colour your lips or pair it with a lipstick. Venus is a warm beige nude shade. It glides onto your lips very easy, but it feels a little tacky when you fill your whole lips in with it. I’m not sure how often I would use this seeing as though I have never used lip liner. I prefer liquid lipsticks and I don’t feel the need to line my lips before applying it. | 1.20g - £16.00 | NAILS INC Nail Varnish in Status Ready This nail polish should be long lasting and super glossy. It is a deep che

e.l.f Earth & Ocean Palette

I haven’t purchased anything from e.l.f in the longest time. I happened upon a post of this palette on Instagram and the complimentary comments really peaked my interest in trying it for myself. Palettes I have tried from e.l.f. in the past haven’t been the greatest of quality; I kind of associate the brand as being for children, beginners or natural beauty wearers. I was also interested in the Retro Paradise Palette , but I thought I would get more use out of this one at the moment. THE PACKAGING The packaging is quite simple with a clear/black outlined plastic rectangular shape. The fronting is transparent so that you can see the eyeshadows from the outside of the palette. It has a clip closing, which you push apart to reveal the inside. The square eyeshadow pans are spread out across a black base and the shade names are printed in grey font under each pan. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.94g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Glitter (G), Satin (S) and Shimmer

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Jawbreaker Palette

I bought this palette back when it first launched (summer 2019) and I was interested in it so I could experiment more with bright colours. The colour selection definitely doesn’t disappoint and I was expecting it to be the same quality as the Blood Sugar Palette, if not slightly better! The packaging is quite a large rectangular shape and made out of metallic pink cardboard with colourful dots/dashes all over representing a jawbreaker pattern. The name of the palette is in a slightly raised font. It has a magnetic closing which you lift to reveal the twenty-four eyeshadow pans arranged on a white background. The other side is the same pattern as the front cover with a mirror. You can purchase it for £54.00 ($58.00) from JeffreeStarCosmetics.com and BeautyBay.com. You get twenty-four 1.50g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Shimmer (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes. Swatch Stencil: Stripes Double 14 Pan by SwatchPerfect.co.uk Virgin - bone white (M) Good Morning - soft pink
