Glossybox #10 - July 2014

I saw a preview of this box last month and it looked as though it would be a special box, because it is American themed and it would be the July box (4^th July!). I was slightly disappointed in this box, but there was a good range of cosmetics included. Here is what I got this month:-

bellápierre Cosmetics Mineral Lipstick in Ruby

| £20 - BellaPierre.co.uk |

The packaging of this product is beautiful, but I find the shade so scary! It is an intense pink based red and it smells just like the MAC lipsticks. I probably won’t get much use out of it, but I will try and make it work.

ABSOLUTE New York Perfecting Eyeshadow Primer

| $4.99 - Nicka.com |

I’ve not heard of this brand before, but I am very interested in trying this primer.

Carmex Moisturising Lip Balm (pot)

| £2.69 - MyCarmex.com |

I already have some lip balms from Carmex. It is a great brand and the products are nice, but I am bored of them now. I prefer drier stick balms, so I will probably give this to my sister.

Color Club Nail Polish in Glossy Seal

| $8 - ShopColorClub.com |

This brand is new to me too and the polish bottle seems huge! It looks like a nice colour, but not one I would particularly choose to paint my nails. My sister has already called dibs on this!

NYC High Definition Felt Top Liner in Extra Black

| £2.99 - NewYorkColor.com |

I have used this brand for years and it doesn’t get enough credit! I was looking to buy a new felt tip eyeliner and now I don’t have to bother. I am excited to test it out and see if I can apply it easier.

This was not a bad box and everything was really make-up related, but the whole special box thing kind of reached an anti-climax. I was expecting something brilliant, with it being an American special box. Nevertheless I will get use out of the products. I have also now saved up enough Glossydots, so my August box will be free; I am pretty excited about it!

What are your thoughts on this box?

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 ...
