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.

MUA Rave

So for a while now, I have been becoming slightly more and more obsessed with make up by the cheap and cheerful brand MUA.

I know most people have probably heard about at least one product by MUA in the recent months. If not, where have you been???

I must admit my collection on MUA products does not reflect my love for the brand, as I have a slight limited budget recently, I haven't been able to buy everything I'm lusting after.

Although recently I have bought a couple of their single eye shadows in a couple of colours I would never normally buy, but I have a look in my head that I want to do a look on and make a further blog on it.

But i also have their very affordable gel eyeliners. I have them in black and grey, I absolutely love these, I'm a sucker for eyeliner and always trying the new ones on the high street stores. I also have the undressed palette, which I use pretty much everyday. Best £4 i have ever spent on make up. I have also recently picked up one of the new cream blushes and one of the normal £1 blushes but in one of the newer colours. 

Also another one of my favourites from this brand is their £2 extreme volume mascara I got a while ago, which is insanely amazing on my lashes and it doesn't blow the bank balance. One of the first products I ever got from MUA, along with my matte foundation I got for £2. The matte foundation gives a medium to high coverage and its buildable!! It goes on nice and creamy and blends in beautifully.

Another must have product from MUA for me is their £1 lipsticks that come in various colours of red, pink, nude and orange. The lipstick iself is a nice consisency and its creamy enough to go on smooth and it lasts a long time. Good quality for only £1. I'm a sucker for shade 3, thats a hot pink colour, I think it has a hint of blue undertones in it. But it suits my pale skin. Easy for a pop of colour, also amazing, if you just want to try a new colour of lip. The ones im lusting after is shade 1, shade 8, shade 10 and shade 13, these are the shades I most want for this current autumn season. They also have just recently brought out some lovely lip liners in red and pink tones.

A few of my most wanted items from MUA are the nail constellations in Leo, Libra and Scorpio (a nice christmassy blend of colours). The nail constellations are a high street and more affordable take on the Ciate Caviar Manicure, which i have never had as the price of it is insane for me. The MUA ones are a purse friendly £3, but the slight drawback is that you don't get a matching nail polish with it in a set, but you can always get an MUA nail varnish for £1 which is still a lot less than the Ciate version. 

from l-r gemini, leo, pieces, scorpio and Libra

Another of my wishlist items are the mega volume mascara and the brow kit. Both of which I have seen getting some amazing reviews. I can not wait till i can have a splurge in MUA, hopefully soon, as they keep bringing out more products every month and I seem to want to try all of them. 

The one thing I think would be amazing if they brought out, is a range of makeup brushes. One can hope that these are maybe in the pipeline.

You can buy the normal £1 products in most superdrugs, which normally include, some eyeshadows, lipsticks, eyeliners and some blush and face powder. Or if you go to the larger superdrugs, you can normally find a larger selection, but not always!! Or if you have no superdrugs near you, you can browse the whole range online (MUA store) They also ship internationally and if you like them on facebook (MUAmakeupacademy) and we get to 35k likes there will be a offer for cheaper make up or free delivery, also follow them on twitter for up to date updates on make and lots of fun things (muacosmetics)

Thanks for reading guys
