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.

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 ...

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. ·       ...

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...
