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?

Boots Fragrance Sampler Gift Set for Her 2015

I decided to treat myself to this little fragrance set. As you know, I am a perfume addict and I’m quite addicted to collecting perfume samples too! It’s this year’s Boots Fragrance Sampler set for Her. I saw last year’s advertised but I always thought it was a little expensive for what you get. The set basically contains eight samples of Boots best-selling female fragrances by other brands. The set comes in a small, thin cardboard box and each sample is set inside a plastic insert. You also get a small fragrance guide and the voucher, which is what you’ll need to get your full size bottle of your favourite sample. The eight samples in this year’s set are:- HUGO BOSS - Boss Ma Vie This is a 2ml sample vile in pipette form and can be exchanged for a 30ml bottle of the eau de parfum. “Inspired by the independent spirit of a woman, exuding a glow of femininity and confidence. Created around the cactus blossom, aiming to reinvent and modernize floral green notes ...

Glossybox #19 - December 2015

I have been really looking forward to this box as I knew it would be rose gold themed. All the products were carefully selected by the Beauty Blogger ReallyRee, for this special looking limited edition Christmas box. Here is what I received:- être belle Golden Skin Caviar Eye Roll On | 10ml - £30.66 | This product is a bit odd and really doesn’t appeal to me at all! So Susan Statement Skin Highlighter Pencil in Starlight | 1.8g - £15.00 | This is a very strange colour and the cream shape is odd too. I am not interested in this product one bit. I prefer light pink highlighters and this is a yellow gold shade, not flattering at all for my skin tone! COLLECTION Long Lasting Nail Effects in Touch of Glamour (31) | 8ml - £2.99 | This nail polish looks really pretty and it is definitely my kind of shade (rose gold). I am looking forwarded to trying it on my nails. I think it would look beautiful on it’s own. Hylamide Pore Delete | 10ml - £18.00...

Katie Price 'Stunning' Perfume VS JoJo Siwa 'Be You' Perfume - Are they the same?

I was browsing on AllBeauty.com and looking at celebrity fragrances and I saw that one was listed for JoJo Siwa. I had heard of JoJo before, but I don’t really know anything about her. I clicked on it out of interest and when I first saw the image of the perfume, I thought maybe the wrong photograph had been uploaded until I clicked on it and saw the description of the perfume. When I first saw the photograph, before I clicked on it to read the description, I instantly thought, that’s Stunning by Katie Price! I looked into it a bit more and compared it to Stunning. The JoJo Siwa “version” is called Be You. Photo Source: Perfume.com Stunning by Katie Price · Released in 2007 (12 years ago). · Contains the notes; Mandarin Orange, Jasmine & Patchouli. · Classed as a floral scent. · ...
