Glossybox May 2014 Superdrug turns 50 collab

Hey Guys, 

This months Glossybox, was a very nice surprise. Firstly I somehow managed to buy two boxes. Don't ask, trying to update your payment method before a 8am start, it didn't work well for my bank. 

That being said I have 2 very different boxes to show you guys. 

In my normal box I got, Max factor Facefinity All Day Primer (£10.99, full size), Maybelline New York Great Lash Mascara in very black (£4.99, full size), 2 true PRO 3D Candy Nail Art (£3 full size), B. Sheer Conditioning Lipstick in Petal (£6.99 full size) and Vaseline Spray and Go Coco (£4.99, full size). 
This box is my favourite, it is all full sizes and I was very excited about everything when I seen what was inside. I have always been wanting to try some of the B. cosmetics, as I have tried their Miscellar water, so the lipstick was very interesting to me. Box cost roughly £30

On the same day  I had to wizz down to the post office to collect the other box, that had came the previous day, but I was at work. 

So in this box, I got: Scholl Velvet Smooth Night Mask, (£7.99 full size), Collection Bronze Glow bronzer (£2.99 full size), I love, Strawberries& milkshake lipgloss ( £1.29 full size) B. Complete Nail Polish in Quartz (£4.99 full size) and finally Blow Pro After Blow (Hairspray and sample size). Box cost nearly £20.

In both boxes I got 2 samples of Garnier Oil beauty lotion and a perfume sample of Ghost Eclipse. 

Both of these boxes have got some really good things in them and I do look forward to using and testing them out. Be sure to look out for some reviews on some of them.

Eyebrow Products I love

Hey My lovelies, This is just a small quick post, taking about some of my favourite products I have been loving for my eyebrows. I do tend to switch it up between these products depending on what look I am going for. As I'm pale and ginger, my eyebrows without any product, can look hideous, as I don't have much pigment in my brow hairs.

I mainly use either a pencil or a powder to fill in my brows.

Powders 
In the past I have used matte eyeshadows and other powders, but these are the ones I find best for me. On the high end of the price scale is the Illamasqua eye brow cake, I have it in the colour Peek, which is a warm caramel colour, so the website says.It cost £15.50 and is well worth the money, as I got it last summer and I still haven't scraped the surface much.

Another eye brow powder that I love, is the Accessorize shape and brow kit. Within this little hot pink and gold package, is 3 brow powders, a gel and some tweezers and a brush. All of that for £6, such a bargain. In the kit, I use the lightest shade and sometimes the middle shade, at the end of my brows for extra definition. I got mine at Superdrug, but you can find online here.

Pencil

Eyebrow pencils are a nightmare for getting the correct colour, as I prefer a bit more of a red tone in my brows, to match my hair. In this case, I have 3 different pencils, in 3 totally different shades. My first one is the Maybelline Master Brow, that I got at Superdrug for £2.99, I think this may be the first eyebrow product I ever bought. It has a waxy formula and is a dark blonde shade, more ash toned than red. It is a nice pencil, just wish it came in more colour selections. #

The next product is the PS love eyebrow pencil, from Primark. It cost £1 and I have the shade light, it comes in 3 different shades. The light shade is red toned and is fairly waxy in formula, it has been likened to the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow wiz, which I haven't tried yet, but I shall hopefully soon try them.

Lastly I have the Beauty UK eye brow pencil, in the shade Auburn, this is the only shade on the high street that is catered for the redheads. It costs just £1.99, it is a bit dark for me though. But I suppose being pale and redhead is a tough job. buy it from here

What is your favourite things to use in your brows?

Glossy Box Feb 2014

Hey Guys and Dolls,

This month's Glossybox, finally got here yesterday... and I think I loved it. 
In this months box, I very luckily got 4 full sized products... Yes 4!! So this month is in complete contrast to last months box, where it was pretty much empty. 

This month the box was on a theme of 'Be Mine' concentrating on the Valentines Day sort of theme. I can live with it as the box this month is black and has lots of lipstick kisses on the lid, very pretty!

Lets get on to the products I received this month. 

The Nougat London, Sparkling body Shimmer (£14 for 250mls) 

This was a very good sample size of 100 mls and comes in the scent cherry blossom, so this wont be a for people who don't like to put scented lotions on. This is very shimmery in the bottle, but whilst on the skin, it gives off a subtle shimmer. This would be lovely for a night out on the decolletage or legs.

Toni and Guy Hair Meets Wardrobe Stick It Up Gum (£7.20 for 90ml)
This is a full size product, aimed at shorter haired people. Which obviously isn't me, but I can give it to my brother to try it out, as he likes to spike his hair up. Although on the glossybox card it says it can be used to put your hair up. We shall see and I will update you all.

Ciate London Paint Pot (£9 13.5ml)
This is the product, we knew we were getting this month. But saying that I got very excited in what shade of paint pot I got. I got Red Hot Chilli, which is gorgeous orange toned red in the bottle. I have a feeling it will go on a lot more orange than red though, which is fine by me.

Maybelline New York Master Kajal Liner ( £5.99 for 13g)
I had been eyeing these up in Superdrug and Boots since Christmas time last year, when they got released. But they didn't seem to be anything special. But swatched this and its so pigmented that I had to scrub my hand.I can only hope that it is like that on the eyes. 

Miners Cosmetics Cocktail Kiss ( £2.99 for 12ml)
This is nice as its full size but that is possibly the only positive I have about this. I do not really go for glosses and brown ones at that. 

Lastly I got a Lindt Lindor Treat Bar ( 79p)
This was nice, not a massive fan of Lindt, but it was yummy.

Hope you enjoyed your boxes this month, let me know in the comments what you got.

Saturday Dinner Date FOTN

Hey Guys and Dolls, 

Hope you are all having a fabulous Valentines Weekend. My lovely other half took me out last night for dinner. 

So this is what I done to my face for going out for the dinner. 

This was the final look, I came up with. 

I used my usual face products of Fashionista Vanishing cream primer, Rimmel match perfection foundation and the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. I finished my base with a light dusting of MUA pressed powder. I also used Benefit Hoola Bronzer and the glossybox glossy rosewood blusher. 







 


On my eyes I used Urban Decay primer potion to prime my eyes and the patted on Concretes Smut eye mineral shadow and on the outer corner I used Doe-eyed by Concrete too, Review here. I lined my eyes with Be a Bombshell and Soap and Glory smoulder Kohl, then finished with lashings of Maybelline Smokey eyes mascara. My eyebrows I done with the new PS.Love brow pencil in light, I got this in a recent primark trip.







 
 
I finished the look with one of my favourite lipsticks Urban Decay Catfight. I did mix some of a lighter pink lipstick, to give it more of a romantic colour.

Hope you all like this look. 







Blog soon

Saturday Night: Face Of The Night #1

Hey My Lovelies. 

This is just a super quick post on the make up I wore out on the 8th February.

This is how I had my make up on Saturday night.

 I had a soft smokey purple eye, I used my Mac shadows in Sable and Sketch and lined my eyes with Be a Bombshell felt tip liner and on my bottle waterline, I used my Soap and Glory purple eyeliner that I got in a christmas set. I then used plenty Smokey mascara by Maybelline. 
For my eyebrows I used my Accessorise Eyebrow kit.  

Please Excuse the pout

On my face I used the Urban Decay foundation in 3.5, after I had moisturised and primed my skin by using the Vanishing Cream by Fashionista. I used a blush by The Balm and contoured using Soap and Glory. I concealed my blemishes and undereye bags with the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer. 
On my lips I used OCC lip tar in Anime.


Hope you like these kind of post. 

Bye guys.

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?
