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 is in a cute little tube and has the usual fruity scent. The colour is actually quite scary to me and considering the type of product that it is I most likely won’t bother trying it out!

Lanolips Lip Ointment with Colour & SPF15 in Rhubarb

| 12.5g - £7.99 |

A know a lot of bloggers like Lanolips lip products, but it is not something that appeals to me. I hate lipgloss and anything sticky or tacky on my lips, so I will be finding a new home for this product straight away. Although I think the colour does look beautiful in the tube.

This box did have a nice range of products, however I can be quite picky and there is not many of the five that I would actually use. The two lip products are just too bright colour wise for me and the texture of the products put me off too. And the other three items just don’t really interest me.

It was a nice box, but clearly wasted on me. I think I am just getting bored with beauty boxes now. I’m definitely stayed subscribed until the Christmas box, but beyond that I just don’t know.

What are your thoughts on this box?

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 Shi...

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 ...

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils in Chaos & Freak

Chaos - bright cobalt blue with light pearl (matte) Freak - light yellow toned emerald green (shimmer) These shades are beautiful and I just love these pencils at the moment. I might have to buy more shades, maybe a purple! The formula is so soft and creamy and the pigmentation is amazing!
