Birchbox #3 - August 2014

I have been patiently waiting for this box ever since I saw the sneak preview on Facebook and it looked promising to be a great box, or so I thought! Let’s get into what I got first, before I continue with the negatives!

N4. High Performance Hair Care Super Comb Prep & Protect

| £20 (Full Size) - Number4Hair.com |

This is a leave in spray conditioner in a mini sample size. I will probably give this product a miss seeing as though I have no interest in hair. I must say that it does smell quite funky though!

Chella Highlighter Pencil in Ivory Lace

| £15.95 - Chella.com |

This is a product that interests me and it is full size. The shade looks a bit concealer like, but I have yet to try it on my skin.

NUDE Progenius Omega Treatment Oil

| £58 (Full Size) - NudeSkinCare.com |

This is a totally new brand/product to me, but I will give it a go. I have the 5ml sample size and I just can’t believe how much it is for the full size!

VASANTI BrightenUp! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator

| £26 (Full Size) - VasantiCosmetics.com |

This is a product I would be interested in and it is a 20g sample size.

Supergoop! Daily Correct CC Cream – SPF35

| £32 (Full Size) - Supergoop.com |

I received two mini 3ml samples of this in the shade Light to Medium. It is actually slightly too dark for me, so I probably won’t use it because I don’t really tan, so my skin will not be dark enough to match. Had this of been the lighter shade, I would have probably given it a go!

The Proposal by Tasmina Perry

| £7.99 (Paperback) - TasminaPerry.com |

This is the Lifestyle Extra and it is a sample chapter from a new novel/book and I am interested in giving it a read.

Overall I was extremely disappointed with this box! The range of brands is great, because I have never heard of them, but the product choices for me were very poor. I am a make-up girl and everything was really hair or skin care related. I will get use out of a few of the items, but I am not exited and it is a let-down seeing as my previous two boxes were good. I will be unsubscribing, not only for that reason, but I still have the Glossybox bug and I am enjoying that box more. I am glad to have tried Birchbox and I give them an A+* for my overall experience with them, thank you!

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. · ...
