Glossybox #20 - January 2016

Say hello to the first Glossybox of the year! Let’s see what goodies I received this month:
UNANI Dermo Defense Face Mask
| 100ml - £11.36 |
I’m not really into face masks, but I do use them. I will be giving this ago and it smells quite nice too.

Teeez Cosmetics Oasis Gem Lipstick in Coral Onyx
| 2g - £11.93 |
The packaging for this product is quite funky and the shade looks really bright. It is a matte shade. It applies quite nice and slightly sheer, but the colour can be built up. It also has that old fashioned powder pearls smell (if you know what I mean), which is actually quite nice.

ANGÈLE Paris Nail Lacquer in Red
| 2ml - £6.32 |
This is a really nice red shade; it’s what I call a proper red shade because when you apply the first coat it doesn’t look like a streaky pink (like cheap red nail polishes). It recommends two coats, but I think you could get away with the one and it looks really elegant. You definitely need nicely conditioned nails for this shade, and my nails are in a little bit of a sorry state at the moment!

Madara Cellular Repair Serum
| 15ml - £38 |
Another serum for me to try. I’m not overly excited about this product because I don’t really see the point of serums, but I am only 22.

GLOSSYBOX Eyeshadow in Glossy Mauve
| 3g - £7.10 |
The pan for this product is huge! It’s like twice the size of a regular full size eyeshadow. It has nice pigmentation and applies quite nice too. I don’t tend to buy/keep single powder eyeshadows because I prefer palettes, so I don’t know if I will get too much use out of this product.
Overall this was a good box and a great start to the new Glossy year. I am looking forward to February’s box, mostly because it is free for me as I have cashed in some Glossydots. For next month’s box, everyone gets an MUA Power Pout Glaze and you get to pick the colour you want. You have to be subscribed to the e-mails to choose your shade because you will be sent an e-mail with the shade choices.

What are your thoughts on this box?

Perfume Power! - Harajuku Lovers 'G'

I received this perfume as an Easter gift from a family member. The bottle design is really cute. It has a doll figure cap, which lifts off and the actual bottle is clear and simple glass, it kind of has a flower shaped base. The size I have is very small, so it is handy for your handbag. And I suppose you could keep the doll for collector’s purposes, when you have used up the perfume. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Crisp Mandarin, Fresh Coconut & Apple Skin Middle Notes: Jasmine Sambac, Soft Freesia & Magnolia Vapour Base Notes: Coconut Cream, White Sandalwood & Cottonwoods To me it smells really strong for an eau de toilette. I quite like the scent because it is very feminine and quite sweet. The only thing I don’t like about it is the coconut. I don’t really like the coconut scent anyway. Other than that, it smells amazing, until the coconut hits your nose. I can also smell the floral side to it as well, the coconut does complement the flor...

Graze - Box #10

I have another Graze box post for you today. I am thinking of stopping these posts soon because it is starting to feel compulsory and I need to post more relevant beauty related content. A closer look at my treats. Graze’s Popping Corn ‘Lightly Salted’ I have tried this before and it is really nice and not overly salty. You get quite a bit of corn in the bag too, even though it is a small packet. Lightly Toasted Pistachios “Whole pistachios toasted with a little salt” I have had this packet before too and I just love pistachios! Tomato & Basil Pizza “Basil crunchini, cheese cashews & mini tomato breadsticks” This is my first experience with this packet, but each snack has been in other packets I have tried before. The crunchini is very nice and it’s just like croutons. The cheese cashews are nice and I do still really like the tomato breadsticks/baguettes. Herby Bread Basket “Basil baguettes, garlic crostini and oregano ric...

Glamour Magazine - July 2013

Yesterday I picked up the new edition of Glamour Magazine, well three copies of them actually! It is the July 2013 edition and you get a choice of five free MODEL CO products and four different magazine covers ( Rebel Wilson , Zooey Deschanel , Myleene Klass & Daniel Radcliffe ). I have never heard of the MODEL CO brand before, but judging by their website, they are marketed as high end. I’m not sure what size the items in the magazines are, but I have listed the full sizes and prices below. FIBRE LASHXTEND Mascara - £28 SHINE Ultra Lip Gloss in Strip Tease - £12 SHINE Ultra Lip Gloss in Showgirl Red - £12 COLOURBOX Eye Pencil in Black 01 - £14 LIP ENHANCER Illusion Lip Liner - £16 I decided to pick up two copies because this month’s edition is £1 instead of £2. I got the FIBRE LASHXTEND Mascara and COLOURBOX Eye Pencil in Black 01 .  When I got home and I opened them, I soon realised the eyeliner box was empty! L All the plastic packaging was inta...
