Glossybox #26 - March 2019

I received my last Glossybox for a while last week, as I cancelled my subscription last month, but you have to give 30 days notice to cancel otherwise you will still be charged for the next month’s box. Here is what I received:-

bellápierre Kiss Proof Lip Crème in Nude
This liquid lipstick is supposed to be full coverage, creamy, glide onto your lips, dry instantly, matte in finish and last for hours without needing a touch up. This comes across pink in the tube, but it is a nice nude shade. It is creamy, full coverage and glides onto your lips. The only thing I didn’t like is that it feels quite tacky, even after it has supposedly dried. It is tacky enough that your lips get stuck together when you close your mouth; this has put me off trying the other shades.
| 3.8g - £20.00 |

BYBI Plumper Lip Balm
This lip balm should have a thick and creamy formula that plumps, restores and protects your lips, whilst leaving them soft, smooth and healthy. It also contains peppermint and capsicum, which will plump your lips. This scent of this is quite strong and reminds me of medicinal ointment. I don’t like lip plumping products as I don’t like the way they feel on my lips, plus I don’t feel the need to plump my lips. It is quite dry product; I had to squeeze it quite hard to get some product out.
| 10ml - £9.00 |

LARITZY Cosmetics Dew Pot in Utopia
This highlighter is supposed to be smooth and blendable and provide a dewy glow that lasts all day. Utopia is a shimmery rosy pink shade. I am not really into cream blushes, bronzers or highlighters. I would say that this shade looks a little too dark for my pale skin tone anyway.
| 3.5g - £15.30 |

essence Instant Matte Make-Up Setting Spray
This setting spray should be lightweight, oil-free and non-sticky. You can also use it as a primer to create a matte base. I will give this product a go, but I don’t think it will replace my beloved Urban Decay setting spray. I could always use this one as a primer, as I only use my UD to set my make-up with.
| 50ml - £3.00 |

The Body Shop Nourishing Body Butter in Coconut
This body butter is supposed to be rich, creamy, softening, nourishing and hydrating. I have said numerous times before, I dislike body products. I use a moisturising body wash, so I don’t feel the need to use a separate body moisturiser. I also do not like the scent coconut. I will pass this product along to someone who will appreciate it.
| 50ml - £6.00 |

This was actually a good box really. Three out of five products are actually make-up related. I still don’t regret this being my last box for a while though.

The ‘Sneak Peak!’ for the April box, teases that everyone should receive a Dr Botanicals Pomegranate Superfood Regenerating Sleeping Mask. There will be two special box designs in April too. The theme will be fruity and floral.

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...
