Glossybox #12 - October 2014

I have been looking forward to this box for a while now because I knew the design would be cool! It is inspired by Pop Art and there are four different colour boxes. I received the yellow version, but the base of the actual Glossybox is pink. I hoped to get the blue one, but it is what’s inside which really counts!

NUXE Crème Fraîche de Beauté Masque

| £19.50 – Uk.Nuxe.com |

At first I thought this would be a hair product, but I was wrong. I am actually interested in trying this product. It is also a full size product at 50ml and NUXE skincare products are supposed to be very nice.

être belle Liplift Peel

| €12.95 – être-belle.co |

This is another full size (15ml) product and the brand is completely new to me. It is a lip exfoliator, but it has a creamy texture as opposed to the regular sugar scrub types. It will be interesting to see how well it works compared to a more abrasive exfoliator like the e.l.f stick one.

So Susan Flutter Mascara

| £14.95 – SoSusan.com |

This is a full size mascara and it sounds right up my street. It is supposed to give you carbon black curvy lashes. I cannot wait to try this!

Ciaté Paint Pot in Knickerbockerglory (012)

| £9 – CiateLondon.com |

I only own one Ciaté nail polish, which seems a similar colour to this one. I find the formula great, but the brand doesn’t interest as much because £9 for a nail polish is a bit steep, especially for a regular shade like this one. Nevertheless, Knickerbockerglory is a beautiful hot fuchsia pink shade and the name is quite catchy!

YVES ROCHER Quelques Notes d’Amour Perfume

| £33 – Yves-Rocher.co.uk |

The bottle for this perfume is stunning. It has a heart indent on one side of the bottle in the glass. The perfume also smells mature, but delicate. I wouldn’t pick it out for myself, but it is lovely and refreshing. I just love miniature perfume bottles!

Rimmel Matte BB Cream in Light

| £6.99 – UK.RimmelLondon.com |

I have been meaning to try the regular version of this for ages, but I just prefer foundation. This is a decent size though and will be on hand for if/when I decide to try it.

Overall this was a really great box and I love the Pop Art theme! I find all of the products interesting and I will definitely be trying them all. My favourite product would either be the mascara or perfume and my least favourite would be the matte BB cream. For this month’s box, Glossybox didn’t include a product info card and instead send an electronic copy to your e-mail address. I think this was a great idea and more eco-friendly! I hope they continue it for November’s box.

What are your thoughts on this box?

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. · ...

Swatches: Maybelline Colour Sensational Stripped Nudes Lipstick in Tantalizing Taupe

Tantalizing Taupe (725) - light, but deep nude beige Quite smooth, slight shine and pretty nude colour, but sadly it doesn’t really suit me. £6.99 - Maybelline.co.uk What do you think of this product? ♥ ♥ ♥

Serial Sampler #43

I decided to purchase a sample of this perfume online as I missed out on the free sample offer on Facebook (I had no idea it was being offered). Lady GaGa is the face of the advertising campaign for this fragrance and the television adverts feature a reworked snippet of her song ‘Sine From Above’. It is Voce Viva by Valentino and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. “ A couture and feminine bouquet of white flowers that gives Italian tradition a contemporary edge. ” Launched: 2020 Type: Floral Woody Musk / Feminine Notes Top: Mandarin Orange, Bergamot and Ginger. Middle: Orange Blossom and Gardenia. Base: Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Musk, Sandalwood and Oakmoss. This is a very soft floral scent and it smells lovely. It dries down very light and not overpowering, which is nice but I feel like it could be a little stronger as it smells quite weak on me. I can detect the Bergamot, Vanilla, Musk and Sandalwood notes. It is my type of floral scent even tho...
