Glossybox #23 - December 2018

It is not long now until New Year and as you can see from the title, I have reactivated my Glossybox subscription, AGAIN! My last box was September 2016. I got this box for £7.00 as there was a ‘first box’ discount offer and the postage was £3.25. I couldn’t get the Christmas ‘All That Glitters’ box, so I was sent this one instead. The sticker on the side of the box said this was the ‘Glossy V11 Dec 18’ box. The products I received are:-

WET ONES BE FRESH WIPES
I have seen these wipes before in supermarkets and they are just usual wet wipes. I suppose they come in handy, especially if you carry them in your bag.
| 12 Wipes - £1.15 |

LUNA BY LUNA TRANSLUCENT POWDER
I’ve never heard of this brand before and I have only ever tried one translucent loose powder before and I didn’t see what the fuss was about. I will give this one a go though because it is white based and I think the last one I tried was more skin tone based in colour.
| 5g - $22.00 |

GARNIER ULTIMATE BLENDS HONEY TREASURES HAIR MASK
I’m not really into hair products, but I think I might give this one a go. This is a 20ml sample size of the full sized product.
| 300ml - £4.99 |

BELLÁ PIERRE SHIMMER ROLL IN CHAMPAGNE
I have seen this product before and it doesn’t really interest me at all. I think my Mum received one in a Birchbox not long back. It is a shimmery champagne shade.
| 2g - £14.99 |

NIKO PRO LIQUID JELLY BLUSHER IN BALI
I have never heard of this brand before either and this product looks weird. It has a strange consistency and I would say it is wet in texture and I personally wouldn’t class it as jelly. A little goes a long way because it spreads out quite far. It is an interesting shiny, coral pink shade with gold glitter. I prefer powder blush myself.
| 8g |

DOUCCE RELENTLESS MATTE LIP CRAYON IN WINTERBERRY (405)
I haven’t heard of this brand either and the crayon does look like good quality, but it will require sharpening once you use it. It is a deep red shade and I would say it is pink based. I most likely won’t wear it because it is a little bright and my lipstick formula of choice is now liquid.
| 2.80g - $22.00 |

I didn’t receive a product card in this box and I don’t know whether it was a mistake or not. I’m sure I remember one box brand were going to stop including product cards so it is more environmentally friendly, because you can log onto your box account and see what products you got. It could well be Glossybox that does this now, because it has been a while since I ordered one. The range of products is a lot better than when I was last subscribed, but again there is not much from it that I would keep and use. I think I will stay subscribed for the time being, but I don’t think it will be a lengthy subscription this time. I hope you all have a wonderful and happy New Year! x

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...
