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?

Perfume Power! - Next 'Paradise'

I first smelt this perfume after receiving it in a mini gift set about ten years ago and I have loved it ever since. This 100ml size is my first bottle of it though, other than the tester/sample size. The bottle is quite tall and it is a sort of clutch bag shape if you turn it on its side. The bottle is a simple design and you can easily see how much perfume you have. On mine the spray pump sometimes gets stuck in the band around the neck of the bottle, but the problem is easily solved. I can’t find a specific note list anywhere for this perfume, but on Next’s site it is described as, "a light fruity fragrance with white florals and green notes". To me it smells really fruity and fresh. It is also multifunctional because it is quite strong and sexy, so perfect for a night out, but it is also not too overpowering and smells fresh and fruity enough for day time wear. It is actually an eau de toilette, which means that it is less concentrated, but I find that it is st...

TAG - The Good, The Bad, The British

Photo: EnchantedIvyGifts.co.uk I was browsing my subscription videos on YouTube and I saw that EssieButton uploaded a new TAG video called The British Tag, and after watching it I decided I wanted to do the TAG too. I believe this TAG was created by BeautyCrush , so all credit is awarded to her. 1. How many cups of tea do you have a day & how do you take it? I drink around three cups of tea a day and I take mine with one small sugar and a bit of semi-skimmed milk. Tea is also the only hot drink I like. 2. What is your favourite part of a Sunday roast? My favourite part of a roast is the vegetables. I love kale & leak and broccoli! My Mum’s gravy is also to die for. 3. What is your favourite dunking biscuit? I don’t dunk biscuits anymore, but when I was younger I loved dunking Bourbons. If I was to dunk a biscuit now, I would probably choose either a Rich Tea or plain Digestive. 4. What is your quintessential British pastime? I love visiting ruins/m...
