GlossyBox March 2014 Box Review

Hey guys, 

Before we get started I'm so sorry about how negative this post may become. 

I received my box yesterday and couldn't even try to write a post on it. But now I have had a rethink about what I got, its still not amazing. But there is at least 2 things I will enjoy. 

Mitchell and Peach Body Cream (£36 for 180ml) 
We got a small sample of this (40ml), it smells like something my Gran would put on herself. Its not a scent I like. It has shea butter, cocoa butter and honey in the ingredients, along with lavender and rose. So this smells odd to me. 

Sleek MakeUP Pout Polish (£4.49 for 10ml)
I got this in the colour of Monte Carlo, which is a beautiful pink colour. The balm its self gives off a subtle pink on the lips.

Bellapierre Cosmetics Shimmer Powder ( £12 for 2.35g)
I got this in the colour of Coral Reef, which swatches a beautiful peach golden colour. It is a multi use product, as you can use on your eyes and cheeks. I wasn't too excited about this product, as its too shimmery to be used as a blush and it won't suit my colouring as a highlight and I have not worn peach on my eyes since my school days. 

Vita Liberata pHenomenal 2-3 week tan lotion. ( £37.50 for 150 ml)
This came in 2 small foil packets, so I am not sure how testing this is going to work. Do I just tan one small area of my body? This you can get free at a counter in store. 
s
Dove Hair Treatment Intensive Repair 60 Second Treatment Shot. ( £1.49 for 15ml)
This is a deep condition treatment for the hair, which I am excited to try as I love these sort of things. 

This box was nothing special, yeah it has 2 products I am happy to test out, the hair treatment and lip conditioner. I am really disappointed in this box. I may even unsubscribe.

Matte Lips

Hey Guys and Dolls,

Over the past few weeks I have fallen in love with the new to the high street, liquid lipstick. 
The two that I have currently tried are the Sleek Matte Me and MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquer. 

Both of the products can be bought in Superdrug and Sleek have newly been released on Boots website, not seen a stand in a shop yet for it. 

I have 3 shades of the Matte me they are in 
Fandango Purple (bright fuschia purple)
Brink Pink (neon pink)

Party Pink (coral pink)

The MUA velvet lip lacquer's I have 4 shades, 

Reckless (true red)

Atomic (tomato/orangey red)

Kooky (dark purple)

Funk (deep pink)

So these lip sticks are meant to be similar to the Lime Crime Velvetines and Hourglass liquid lipsticks, both of which I need to purchase. I love matte lipsticks and these are the best I have found. The Matte Me ones last longer than the MUA ones. I will put a proper review of both of them in a few days (hopefully). 

These are defo worth the £3 (MUA) and £4.99 (sleek). I do plan on getting the other colours which is 1 more from MUA and 3 more from Sleek. 
I do wish there were more nude colours as it would make more variations of it.

Bye dolls

5 January Favourites

Hey Guys and Dolls,

This is just a quick post on some of the products I have been loving this month. 

Soap and Glory Eyeliners

I managed to pick up a set of the eyeliner sets that boots where doing for Christmas. 

The set has a black, brown, purple, green and blue liners (there will be a post up soon about them :)) These are the most creamy eyeliners I have EVER tested that are on the high street. I know in the permanent line you can get the black and brown liners.

Concrete Minerals eyeshadow in X's and O's

This was a gift I got for Christmas off of my friend Lauren and I absolutely love this colour. Its a magenta purple with silver sparkle, that looks amazing against my blue eyes. 

Maybelline The Volum' Express Colossal Smokey Mascara

I love this mascara. It gives me prefect lashes every time. Since the last mascara that I loved was £18 i decided to give this one a go, since I got it in my December Glossybox. It was really good and I'm highly impressed with it. 

Sleek Matte Me in Fandango Purple
I love wearing matte lips everyday and this is just the most perfect fuchsia purple to wear with a thin black eyeliner look. I do have an in depth post coming soon on them. 

Real Techniques Expert face brush
I bought this in a blog sale, as I was dubious on how good these actually were. I have bought a few cheaper alternatives before I seen it on the blog sale for £5. So I snapped it up and I'm definitely in love with it.


What have you dolls been loving this month?

Glossybox July 2013

Hey my lovelies. 

Sorry for not keeping up with my blogging in a consistent manner... But gotta keep doing other things rather than being behind the laptop with every free hour I have. 

But I do have a few blog posts that I want to start doing regularly. Although getting a weekly post is hard enough. But I shall try my best to squeeze in a lil post when I can. So on to the true meaning of this blog. 

GlossyBox!!!

I have just received my July Glossybox and its a beauty!!! 
Recently I haven't been particularly happy with the products I've been receiving, but I have persevered with it and stuck it out. 

Glossybox have started to do themes with their boxes and this months theme is Seaside Splash. The box is coordinating with the theme and is a lovely blue colour with coral starfish and coral. Very beautiful if you are into bright colours. 

On to the fun part... Products are amazing this month!! Box is fully worth the £12.95.

The products I received were (saving my favourites till last!!)

Coola Organic suncare collection 

A little sample of face sunscreen, smells of cucumber with an SPF of 30. Sample size is 7Ml, an eighth of the full size. 
Full size £25.99 sample size £3.20

Anatomicals Spray Misty For Me
Full size product, of hydrating face mist. I'm not a lover of face mists, but I will try it and if I like it, there might be a cheeky review.
full size £6

Alterna haircare- Bamboo boho waves tousled texture mist.
Texturising hair mist to give the beachy waves look. Not a massive fan of these type of hair products, but it fits into this months theme and i never know i may end up loving this. 
full size 125ml £23 sample size 25ml £4.60

Ciate London Paint Pot in Speed Dial.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this product. Its an amazing orange with a red tone to it. looks amazing on my pale skin tone, this would also suit people with a tan or darker skin tones. This is a FULL SIZE product. When I get a few days off of work altogether I will be reaching for this and give it a proper review!
Full size 13.5ml £9

Sleek Pout Paint Pin up (red) Peek-a-bloo (blue)
These are fricking amazing!!! I already have both of these in my collection already. But I love them!! I love the retro pin up look and the red is amazing for the red lips. The blue colour is to mix with the other shades in the range to create unique colours. These are a bit like the OCC Lip Tars ( which i haven't tried yet) These are a little bit fiddly to get used too and a little goes a long way. Both of these are full size at 8ml. 
Full size 8ml £4.99 

This box is absolutely worth its money and has amazing long lasting products in it. 

Total worth of July's Box is £32.78..... WOW!!

Bye guys!!

Festive Glossybox: December Edition

So its this time a month, when people either hate or love their glossybox. 

For the past few months, I've not blogged about mine as I wasn't too pleased about the things I had received in the boxes. I also wanted my blog to be a happy place where I don't slate things, so I thought for the best I just wouldn't blog about them.
But this month, it has changed not only was the box a festive shade of silver, the products are actually good enough to want to write about it.

Bejewelled Christmas Glossybox Included:

Inspiration By Seche

Seche Nail Lacquer
Glossybox say:Highly pigmented colour for one coat coverage, satin smooth application dries quickly. Available in 33 fashion forward shades. 
The colour I got is 'Inspiration' its a pinky coral colour. Which to me looks kinda cheap on my nails. But it could look amazing on darker coloured skin or on tanned skins. Its a full sized bottle we got in this months Glossybox, 14ml and it cost £9.95, from the overall feel from other people who got the box, there is a few colours floating around as a friend of mine got a slate grey colour, which I would have preferred. 





                                           Rituals- Magic Touch

Glossybox says: We are proud to feature a Rituals bestseller: Magic Touch, an ultra-rich whipped body cream that intensively nourishesand firms th skin. Combining rice milk, antioxidants, the indulgent fragrance of cherry blossom and velvety smooth texture. Price 200ml-£15. The 70ml sample we got is worth £5. 
I'm not a huge fan of body butters, as they leave my skin feeling sticky which Im not a fan of. But I will most definitely be trying this one out, as I love the smell of Cherry Blossom. 









Lemon by Mary Greenwell Eau de Parfum
Glossybox says- What we love most about LEMON is that unlike most citrus fragrances, the fresh citrus notes last on the skin. Price of this varies the full size is 100ml and costs £90, 50ml- £60, Purse spray- £30.
This does smell nice and fruity, but I don't think Id buy it just because of the price. Im sure there are probably similar ones out there for less.

Sebamed Anti-Dry Night Intensive Cream
Glossybox says- All products in the Sebamed range are pH neutral and contain high-quality active ingredients, which cleanse and nourish the skin without attacking the skins natural protective mantle. Sebamed protects the skin, calms flare-ups and restores equilibrium for improved elasticity- the perfect companion for these cold winter months. Full size is 50ml £9.99
I love, love, love this product. I tried this the first night I received the box. I woke up with the softest feeling skin in the world. I'm most definitely going to buy the day cream and the night cream. I would recommend this to anyone, who suffers from dry skin.





Sleek MakeUp True Colour Lipstick

Amped True Colour Lipstick

Glossybox says- With shades that brighten and flatter your skin tone (essential during the winter months when complexions can be dull) and vitamin E enriched formulas, Sleek MakeUps true colour lipstick range is a party season essential. Full size: 3.5g-£4.99
I freaking love this product. I have been pondering for a while now weather to try some of the sleek lip products, as they are more known for the eyeshadow palletes. The colour was AMPED, which is a matte finish blue toned bright pink. Think Nicki Minaj style pink. But I do love it and may get some more. 









Also this month, we got a free bonus gift of an own brand glossybox blusher.
Glossybox Blusher in Glossy Pink
Glossybox says- A colour intensive powder blush, velvety feeling with long-lasting colour that flatters all skintones. I must admit I got a bit excited about it, as I am always on the hunt for the next best thing in blusher land. 

I must admit this has been my favourite glossybox in a while, but its even better when I got to pay for this using my glossydots. 

Anyway guys thats all for this post, I shall see yall in the next one.
