Glossybox #21 - February 2016

I always look forward to the themed Glossyboxes and this box just looks lovely. I love the colours and the little love design on the lid (better than last February’s box!). Inside the tissue paper is the same hot pink colour as the base of the box and the tissue confetti is white.
Here is what I got in my Valentine’s Day themed Glossybox for February:-
Nicka K New York 24H Waterproof Eyeliner in Dark Brown
| 0.3g - £3.99 |
This is a nice product. I like the colour and it could also be used for your brows because it is so soft and the tip is quite fine. It definitely doesn’t stay on for twenty-four hours. It is slightly water resistant, but not waterproof. It doesn’t compare to the Urban Decay ones.

MUA Power Pout Glaze Low Voltage Gloss in Rapture
| 3.2ml - £3.50 |
This looks like a chubby lipstick at first and when you take the cap off, it reveal the wide, flat lip brush applicator. They could have definitely got away with a slightly smaller applicator. You twist the bottom up to dispense the product. It smells of vanilla and is very glossy looking. It is also rather sticky! The shade is a neutral brown rose and does look nice on the lips. I wouldn’t use it again though because I hate lipgloss!

The Vintage Cosmetic Company Floral Slanted Tweezers
| 1 tweezer - £8.00 |
There is quite a lot of wasted packaging for this product. The item itself is not too interesting just some florally looking tweezers. They work ok, nothing special and I definitely wouldn’t pay full price for them. I’ve got e.l.f tweezers that are just as good for a fraction of the price of these.

NAOBAY Protective Hair Mask Volume Conditioner
| 200ml - £10.64 |
This product does smell really nice, but I’m just not into hair products. I will see if my Mum fancies giving this a go.

Wilkinson Sword Intuition Razor
| 1 razor - £6.99 |
This is quite a large product and it’s pink (goes with the love theme I guess). It is an interesting concept because it has soap cartridge attached to the blade, so you don’t need to use separate shaving creams/gels. I am yet to try this out, but it is something that does seem quite interesting to me. For the size, it is almost weightless!
Overall this was a great box and I am looking forward to next month’s box, mostly because I used my Glossydots to buy it!

What are your thoughts on this box?

Escada Collector's Edition Gift Set

I’ve always been interested in trying Escada fragrances, but there are so many to choose from and I didn’t want to risk buying a full size bottle. I came across this little gift set whilst I was shopping online at Boots and clicked buy straight away! All four fragrances are in a tiny, but cute 4ml potion looking bottle. Here are the four scents you get to try:- TURQUOISE SUMMER This bottle is a turquoise/clear theme and contains the notes; pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, peach, violet, orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. It smells really strong of orange blossom and kind of like a car air freshener. It does linger quite a while on the skin, but it is not really a strong scent. Overall I don’t like this scent. It doesn’t really smell of anything to me and what you can smell isn’t what I would call pleasant. I give this perfume 1/5 . BORN IN PARADISE This bottle’s theme is the same as Turquoise Summer and contains the notes; green apple, watermelo...

Serial Sampler #41

An advertisement popped up on Facebook with an offer of a free sample of this new fragrance and I clicked straight away! I have previously tested the original scent of this fragrance line and I loved it, so I was also expecting to like this one.   It is Born In Roma Yellow Dream by Valentino and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ A floral lift of a thousand rose petals, twisted with a new clean and fresh addiction. ” Launched: 2021   Type: Floral / Feminine (Donna) Notes Top: Italian Lemon. Middle: Rose Essence. Base: Clean Accord and White Musks. This is a very soft and delicate floral scent with a fresh musk hint. It is definitely more floral smelling than the original Born In Roma fragrance. I can’t really detect the Italian Lemon. I can pick-up a fruity sort of hint, but it definitely isn’t lemon to me. I can detect the very light Rose Essence and White Musk and it does smell like a clean scent. It smells like a lovely spring day to me. I w...

Haul: Recent Purchases #3

I just wanted to share with you a few naughty purchases and I’m sure these won’t be the last of this month! From FeelUnique.com I finally got my hands on the Juicy Couture Duo Spray Set , which includes two 7.5ml purse sprays of Viva La Juicy La Fleur and Viva La Juicy . I also bought the Urban Decay Nirvana Build Your Own Quad Palette , as I eventually plan on buying some single UD eyeshadows and need somewhere cute to house them. Lastly, after deciding against the purchase, I listened to the little devil on my shoulder and got theBalm Balmsai Palette . From AllBeauty.com I bought a bigger size of the DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom Perfume (50ml). I am still working my way through the 30ml, but I just couldn’t pass on the sale discount and I love the scent. I also decided to buy a 30ml bottle of Britney Spears Curious Perfume . It was so inexpensive and I wanted to own the fragrance again. I nearly bought the 100ml as it was equally inexpensive, but I haven’t smelled the...
