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?

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...
