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! - Taylor Swift 'Wonderstruck'

Photo: HerWorldPlus.com I actually received this as a free sample size (1.2ml), but I decided to do a review anyway, because you get enough of the scent to be able to give it a proper review, like you would a bottle size. * Click here to see what the sample looks like * The bottle design looks very pretty and definitely something I would love to have. The charms around the neck also look lovely, but MissBudgetBeauty bought it in 30ml and it didn’t have the charms, so the charms must be exclusive to the bigger sizes, which is a shame seeing as though I tend to buy 30ml, unless I really love the scent. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Freesia, Green Tea, Blackberry, Raspberry & Apple Blossom Middle Notes: Vanilla, Honeysuckle & Hibiscus Base Notes: Musk, Sandalwood, Amber & Peach It does smell really nice and not as young as you would expect, it reminds me of a fruitier Loverdose by Diesel, without the liquorice. I can smell the peach, raspberry...

Review: Rimmel Wake Me Up

Wake Me Up Foundation I bought this after seeing the advertisement for it on Rimmel’s Facebook, and I thought the description sounded perfect for me. The packaging is made of glass and it has a curved shape, with the Rimmel logo and product name printed in the centre on a bit of plastic tape. The cap is a slanted block shape made of plastic and it is a bright orange colour with glitter sparkle. This product has an orange plastic pump, which dispenses the product. All the relevant information is printed on the back, like most products. It is also packaged in a plastic wrapper, with a security tag. This product is marketed as a foundation that “instantly reawakens skin, with a healthy, radiant glow”. It is also mean’t to be light weight and give a poreless and flawless complexion. It also contains SPF15 for sun protection and illuminating pearls, which is mean’t to give your face a natural glow. It is also mean’t to “bounce your skin back to life” and banish the signs of fat...

Perfume Power! - Avon 'Femme'

I recently started looking at the Avon catalogues again and I saw this perfume had a test circle. Whenever I see the test circles, I just have to rub them! I tested this perfume and I instantly wanted it, plus it was on offer with the matching body spray and lotion. The bottle is clear glass and is inspired by diamonds. The cap is clear plastic and is a squared diamond shape. It has a regular perfume spritzer, which is silver to blend in with the clear cut look. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Pink Grapefruit, Plum & Violet Middle Notes: Jasmine, Wild Orchid & Magnolia Base Notes: Amber, Peach, Wood & Musk I really like the bottle because it is beautifully simple and you can see how much liquid you have left. The cap is not very secure though because it just sits on top of the spritzer, which means it can easy fall off in your bag. The spritzer is very easy to use and it distributes the perfume evenly in a concentrated mist. The scent I would say...
