Glossybox #24 - January 2019

This is the first Glossybox of the year and it is the second one I have received since I re-subscribed in December 2018.

AVANT SKINCARE DELUXE HYALURONIC ACID VIVIFYING FACE & EYE NIGHT CREAM
This is the most expensive product from the box and it is an anti-ageing moisturiser that is supposed to be hydrating and rejuvenating. It is also supposed to be smoothing without adding shine to your skin and it should have a fresh scent. I have actually tested this and the first time I used it, my skin did look shiny and kind of feel greasy. The second time I used it, my skin still looked shiny and when I touched my skin I could tell there was something on it. I don’t think this means it doesn’t work, I think it just needs a little time to settle on the skin. I don’t know what it looks like if you apply make-up over the top. My skin is kind of oily in some place, mostly the t-zone and my cheeks, neck and nose can be quite dry.
| 50ml - £98.00 |

BATISTE RETHINK DRY SHAMPOO IN HYDRATE
This dry shampoo is supposed to treat your hair as well as refreshing it. It should also been an invisible formula, which means you won’t be able to see it in your hair. The one I received should hydrate your hair as it contains avocado. I have used other Batiste dry shampoos before and it would be my first choice if I needed it. This one has a nice fresh scent and will come in handy should I find myself in need.
| 50ml - £1.50 |

MAYBELLINE DREAM BLENDER FOUNDATION SPONGE
This sponge is latex-free and should provide you with a smooth finish. You should use the sides of the sponge to blend your foundation in circular motions across your cheeks and then in an outward direction on your forehead, nose and chin. You can use the tip of the sponge for precision around your nose and under your eyes. I have seen this sponge before in drugstores and thought it looked cute. I don’t use sponges to apply my foundation because I find it takes me twice as long to apply and then I still need to go in and use my fingers to smooth it out anyway. I will keep hold of it though, because it may come in handy some day because it doesn’t look like your typical blender sponge. You should still be able to clean this sponge, the way you would with any beauty sponge (soap and water).
| £4.99 |

HASK REPAIRING DEEP CONDITIONING TREATMENT IM BAMBOO OIL
There are different types of these treatments and the one I received contains bamboo oil, which is supposed to strengthen and condition your hair. The sachet can be used more than once, depending on how much you need to use to cover your hair. I would recommend sealing the rest in case it dries out inside the open sachet. If you have long hair like me, you might need to use the whole sachet. You can leave it in your hair for 5-10 minutes and then rinse it off. I’ve said before that I am not really into hair products, but sample sachets of hair products may come in handy should I feel the need to use a mask in my hair. It is better than receiving a large tube or tub of hair mask that I possibly may not use.
| 50ml - £2.49 |

-417 FACIAL MICRO LUFFA FOAMING GEL
You can use this foaming gel cleanser to exfoliate and remove your make-up. You apply it to damp skin and then work it in with circular motions. It should leave your skin feeling clean, soft and fresh. I personally wouldn’t use this product to remove my make-up but I would use it as a facewash. I find the concept of using it to remove make-up very strange.
| 100ml - £13.31 |

I got a product card with this box! If you read my last Glossybox post, you will know that I didn’t receive a product card and I wondered why. I guess they must have forgotten last time. There were no make-up items in this box, which is a little disappointing, but the products I received were interesting. I did actually enjoy this box and I think I will stay subscribed.

The ‘Sneak Peek!’ for February’s box, teases that everyone should receive a HUDA BEAUTY Lip Contour Pencil in either ‘Flirt’ or ‘Venus’. One shade looks like a nude/brown and the other a red.

Boots Fragrance Sampler Gift Set for Her 2015

I decided to treat myself to this little fragrance set. As you know, I am a perfume addict and I’m quite addicted to collecting perfume samples too! It’s this year’s Boots Fragrance Sampler set for Her. I saw last year’s advertised but I always thought it was a little expensive for what you get. The set basically contains eight samples of Boots best-selling female fragrances by other brands. The set comes in a small, thin cardboard box and each sample is set inside a plastic insert. You also get a small fragrance guide and the voucher, which is what you’ll need to get your full size bottle of your favourite sample. The eight samples in this year’s set are:- HUGO BOSS - Boss Ma Vie This is a 2ml sample vile in pipette form and can be exchanged for a 30ml bottle of the eau de parfum. “Inspired by the independent spirit of a woman, exuding a glow of femininity and confidence. Created around the cactus blossom, aiming to reinvent and modernize floral green notes ...

Glossybox #19 - December 2015

I have been really looking forward to this box as I knew it would be rose gold themed. All the products were carefully selected by the Beauty Blogger ReallyRee, for this special looking limited edition Christmas box.  Here is what I received:- être belle Golden Skin Caviar Eye Roll On | 10ml - £30.66 | This product is a bit odd and really doesn’t appeal to me at all! So Susan Statement Skin Highlighter Pencil in Starlight | 1.8g - £15.00 | This is a very strange colour and the cream shape is odd too. I am not interested in this product one bit. I prefer light pink highlighters and this is a yellow gold shade, not flattering at all for my skin tone! COLLECTION Long Lasting Nail Effects in Touch of Glamour (31) | 8ml - £2.99 | This nail polish looks really pretty and it is definitely my kind of shade (rose gold). I am looking forwarded to trying it on my nails. I think it would look beautiful on it’s own. Hylamide Pore Delete | 10ml - £18.00...

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. ·       ...
