Glossybox Jan 2016

                                       Hey my loves, 

Its that time of the month again..It's glossybox time. Woop Woop. It has been a while since I last got a Glossybox, but since things are going well I thought well why not treat myself again to one.
I'm glad that they are still the same price and my box seemed to full of full sizes or just very good deluxe sizes.
In my box I was very lucky to get four full sizes and a deluxe size. I am yet to properly play around with what is in my box, but when I do I will be sure to post some feedback on them.




I will start with the luxury size product. Madara Cellular Repair Serum. 
I have never heard of the brand Madara, so I am excited to try it. I am all into the skincare part of my daily routine, just because Scotland is getting beaten up with some cold and frosty weather, not skins best friend. From what I can find on the Madara website. It is more of an anti ageing serum, with the added benefit of it being an organic and natural product. I got a 15ml sample which is worth £19 as it is half the size of the full size and you can get that for £38.



Sticking with skincare, Unani dermo Defense face mask, full size product worth £11.36. Again with this I can not wait to use this, as my skin is playing up with the weather. It is a herbal based mask which is good for sensitive skin. It keeps your skin hydrated and nourished in this winter days we have here. You can purchase it here. I will be sure to get a post up on this ASAP.








Next up is the Teeez Cosmetics Oasis Gem Lipstick, £11.93. This is another full size product. I have swatched this and it is a beautiful colour. As I don't have it to hand, I can't remember what colour I have, but it is a lovely coral, orange tone. It is a satin finish, with the added benefit of coconut oil for keeping the lips hydrated. You can buy something similar here.










Next is a glossybox own brand and formula eyeshadow. I got the colour glossy mauve. Which I love, its the sort of colour I have been wearing all over my lips this winter. Just because it makes my eye colour pop. These aen't available to buy unless you find one on Ebay. These are worth £7.10. Again I will have a review in the coming days. 










Lastly is my favourite product by far. Nicka K shine airbrush blending sponge. This is worth £6.50, it is a complete different shape to my beloved beauty blender, but I have high hopes for this. You can buy them in various places online but here is where I have been eyeing it up about. You are meant to use it the exact same way as the beauty blender or the real techniques sponge. 






My box is worth £55.89.

P.S Love Primark Eyeshadow Palette

Hey guys 


Sorry for lack of posts of late. I hoped I would be able to get some written and space them out, but things keep cropping up which is driving me insane, as I miss blogging. 

Whilst I was through in Glasgow, I popped into Primark, on a whim that they would have the eyeshadow palettes in. Which luckily for me they did, but not the one I was hoping to get and blog about. So I am now the proud owner of the Day Palette. Ok not so much proud. But I will get to that in a mo. I was hoping to get the night palette. 

The Lowdown. 

This is a 8 eyeshadow palette, neutral colours, mostly sparkley and satin finish. It costs £2.50 and is packaged in a not so sleek black case. 

The Good Points. 
Good sized mirror in the palette. 
Great Range of colours.
Cheap
Some have nice pigmentation

The Bad Points.
Bulky packaging, not good when trying to compact make up.
Some shadows have very little Pigmentation

Would I repurchase?
Yes I would probably repurchase these shadows from Primark, they do have a nice formua. 

Other Comments. 
These are a great starter into eyeshadows, although there are a lot better ones on the market and on the high street, but these are still good for maybe the tween aged girls, who just want to play around with make up and with there not being that much colour pay off they could be a good one for school make up, as they give off the same confidence boost as more expensive eyeshadows do. The darker colours have more pigmentation and do a great day look with an added slick of eyeliner and a colour pop lipstick.


Hope this helps everyone. What are your thoughts on these eyeshadows? Let me know in the comments.

Concrete Minerals Eyeshadows

Hey Guys and Dolls,


I got some beautiful eye shadows for Christmas from my friend Lauren. This is just a quick review on them. 

I got 4 colours of the shadows. 

The Low Down
Concrete Minerals are preservative free, they don't use parabens and fillers. They are 100% vegan and cruelty free and made in USA. 
They are sold on cutecosmetics in the UK and cost £6 for 1.5gms. 

They have two ranges out, ones that are matte and shimmer ones. I have 4 colours from the shimmer range. I have Smut, X's and O's, Vanity and Doe Eyed. 

lt-rght  Smut, Doe eye, Vanity, X's&O's

My favourite of the bunch is X's and O's as it's so different from what I'm used to wearing. Although for every night out I have had since Christmas I have worn it. 

The Colours swatched on my hands.

Would I buy it again?
Yes I would happily buy more of these beauties. They work beautifully and last a long time with and without a primer being used. 
I do want the stack of black toned one that they have also on cutecosmetics. I will I have post some eye looks on my instagram using these eyeshadows. Check them out on Cheekie_maz on instagram.
