Vive La France! // July 2015 Glossybox

Hello everyone! 

Todays post is a sneak peek at what I received in the July Glossybox! And I have to say that this one is a good one! This months box was a French designed box and the products were all skincare themed. 

 The first item I saw when I opened the box was this cute little Glossybox Travel bag. The bag is a plastic, see-through zip bag which would be super cute to use as a travel bag or just a make-up bag!

- Noxidoxi Enhancing Serum Base

This item is very interesting, it is a serum base which hydrates and moisturises. It is also to be sed underneath a moisturiser, which I can't wait to try and see if it makes a difference to my somtimes dry skin.

-Lollipops Lip Balm Delicieuse

This lip balm smells amazing! The packaging is super cute too with little drawings of sweets and cupcakes on it and the fact that it literally smells like cupcake icing, is even more better!

-Vichy Aqualia Thermal Light Cream

This is a 15ml pot of the Vichy Hydration Cream and I am super exciting to receive it! I have tried a few Vichy products, but I have never actually invested in this skincare range, even though I have heard really amazing things about their moisturisers! I can't wait to give this one a try!

-Teoxane Perfect Skin Refiner

I have never heard of this company or product before this Glossybox, however I am super interested in this product. It is a night skin renewal cream which contains Resilient Hyaluronic acid and it does state that your skin may feel tingly at fist once the product is applied. Actually I take back what I said before about being interested about this product...now I am just a little scared!! lol

That is everything I received in this months Glossybox..I told you it was a good one! I really enjoy it when Glossybox come out with their limited edition themed boxes, it really does make it all that more excited when receiving them and opening them!

GlossyBox -May 2015 Summer's Calling!

Hello everyone! 

Yesterday I received the May Glossybox Summer's calling edition box, so I thought I would share with you all what I received. I really liked this months box as I received a couple of brands which i have never heard of before and some that I had! I also really liked the fact the items have a summer theme to them, fingers crossed this box will bring some better weather with it!

1. Etre belle Aloe vera ultra Moisturising gel

2. MeMeMe Enchanted eyes duel ended eyes wand

3. Zerreau towel off shampoo foam

4. SASS Intimate perfect skin concentrate

5. Collection Field day lipstick

I think my favourite two items from this months box was the collection lipstick and the tube of the aloe-vera moisturising gel. This is because both of these items are the ones that I am more likely to use from this box. However I am going to enjoy trying and testing out the other items I received.

GlossyBox April 2015- Limited Iconic Hollywood Edition

Hello everyone! 

These lovely photos are of the limited edition Glossybox for April 2015. I received this box just the other day and I was so happy with it when I opened to find it was a limited edition box! I really do prefer receiving these types of boxes as I love the designs of the boxes and the different themed products.

Lord & Berry Lipstick pencil in Kiss-  This Lord & Berry lipstick pencil is the most exciting item within this months box. I believe this is the first Lord & berry product I have and the fact it is a lip product is all the more exciting! The shade is a very bright red shade and the lipstick is also has a matte finish which I prefer when it comes to lip products. 

Astral Original Moisturiser-  I have seen tubs of this face and body moisturiser many times in the shops, however it was never something I would specifically think of purchasing. Since it is getting closer to summer it would be great to find a really good moisturiser for the times when my skin gets a little dryer.

POP Beauty Kajal eyeliner pen-  Before opening this months box I had never heard of this brand before, however it does look quite good as it come with a smudger on one of the ends of the pencil. I myself prefer liquid eyeliners, as I find I can actually apply it much better than eyeliner pencils.

Colour Club Nail polish-  I have previously received one of these nail polishes in a Glossybox about a year ago, however the last one was a gorgeous blue shade. This Colour club nail polish is in the shade Barely There, which is a light nude shade. I normally wear brighter colours on my nails, so I'm afraid I might not get much use out of this nail polish.

IDC Body Lotion-  The last and final item I received in this months box is a cute sized bottle of Lavender body lotion. Unfortunately a couple of years ago I had a bad reaction to a heated lavender pillow, so I most likely won't be trying this product and I will probably just pass it on to someone in my family.

Overall I am very pleased with the limited edition box I received, even though there are some items which I particularly can't use. I think this has been one of my favourite limited edition boxes I have received in my time getting Glossyboxes. 

What do you think of the Iconic Hollywood edition Glossybox??

Glossy Box // December 2014

 Hello everyone! 

I have been anticipating this December Glossybox for months now! With the festive season already upon us, it was a lovely additional surprise to receive a very festive looking glossy box! So lets take a look inside at what I received!

 1. Anatomicals Zap! Zap! Zap! Day and night spot stick-
I believe I have only ever received a product by Anatomicals once before in a glossy-box, so I was quite excited to see this product in this months glossy-box. My skin tends to be very temperamental at times, so I will be interested to see if this product helps when my skin breaks out!

2.  SkinPep Hydra Boost Acid serum-
With all this cold weather, I can't wait to test out this skin hydration serum on my dry skin! I have received a couple of different sample size SkinPep products, which I actually enjoyed using! So fingers crossed this particular product works!

3. TRESemme Renewal hair and scalp tonic-
The full size bottle of this Tresemme  Renewal tonic was the first product to catch my eye when I first opened my box. I normally use a wide range of Tresemme products, but this is one I haven't even heard of before and I can't wait to try it!

4. All That Jazz Professional Nail Lacquer-

Getting into the Christmas spirit lately I have been loving glitter and sparkly nail polishes, especially those from the Barry M range! However this sparkly top coat (Lauren's Miss fancy pants) looks amazing! One of these nail polishes from this range is actually priced at £9.98! 

5. Bellapierre Cosmetics Cheek and Lip stain

In past glossy- boxes I have received a Bellapierre lipstick and also a lip gloss and I have loved both products! The shade I received was coral and looks much brighter in the photo, however it doesn't actually come out as vivid (thankfully!)

Overall I am super happy with all of the items I received in this months box, in a way glossy box redeemed itself in my books as I was getting a little disheartened with some of the products in the other past boxes. With items that where only sample size to products I couldn't or wouldn't use. However this months box has totally reminded me why I love buying and receiving these beauty boxes!

Have you received any great products within any Glossyboxes lately??

Glossybox // September: Karen Millen Edition

Hello everyone! 

So I am a little behind schedule posting this months Glossybox photos, but here it is better late than never! This months Glossybox was designed by Karen Millen and is probably my favourite Glossybox design by far! The beautiful illustration of the London skyline is super pretty and the packaging of this box on a whole is very sophisticated looking!

For me this is a great product to have received in this Glossybox. I am always buying and testing out different hair masks, my favourite at that moment actually being a Dove hair repair mask. The hair dye that I usually use is actually L'Oreal and I have tried a L'Oreal conditioner, so I have high hopes for this Mythic oil hair mask conditioner.

I was quite nice to see a familiar product in this box as I do actually use some Vichy skin care products. I sometimes don't like receiving sample sized products, as I do forget to use them and they are wasted! But as for these two I will definitely be using them because they are Vichy!

I honestly had no idea what I was looking at when I pulled these out of the box. Two of the sachets are Brightening Enzyme & Acid Peels, which I have to admit kinda scares me! And the other sachet is a dark circle eraser, which I think would be great to try even thought I don't have a huge problem with dark circles, but it can't hurt to try!

I was very intrigued with the next two items. The first being a Nails Inc. Matte nail polish, which when I first saw it I thought it was just a plain clear nail polish. After reading up on it, I can't wait to try it! Once applied, the nail polish gives a matte affect to the colour of nail polish you have on!

The item which really excited me was the More Brows eye brow gel. I do usually shape and fill in my eye brows with a light brown pencil. So I will be excited to see the results after using this gel, however just from looking at the shade it may be a little too light of a shade.

Well...that is it for this months Glossy box post! I will be getting back into the blogging swing of things after taking a little break there, but it is good to be back!

 So have you tried any of the product received or do you want to try any of them?

August 2014- GlossyBox

Hello everyone! 

Today's post is going to be on what I received inside my August Glossybox! The little insert which you usually find in the boxes, which explains what products you have received and a little information about what the products are. Within this little leaflet was a 'Thank You' section from the Founder and Global CEO of GlossyBox in celebration of Glossyboxes' 3rd Anniversary.

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer
Even after reading the instructions of this product I was a little confused at what exactly is was (I was convinced it was a conditioner) just shows I shouldn't skim read things! This product is a pre-shampooing treatment, which apparently adds bounce, shine and manageability! Who wouldn't want their hair to have all of those things?!
SkinPep Hydra Sun Defence SPF30 Day Cream
Again this is a brand and product I have never heard of. Considering I live in county where we have more rainy days than sunny ones and I am not going anywhere on holiday any time soon, I'm not sure if I will actually get using this product. Instead, I might pass it on to a family member who is going on holiday, which might be useful to them!

Figs and Rouge Mini hand cream
When I first glanced into my box this was the first product I saw and I have to admit I was worried it was the Figs and Rouge Lip product, which I received in a previous Glossybox. The lip product was a little bit too sticky and grainy for my liking, so I can't wait to see what I make of this product. Although I really do LOVE the packaging of the Figs and Rouge product!!

L'amour Lalique perfume sample
This perfume smells divine! I'm pretty sure I have smelt it before, or at least I know someone who wears it, as it smells really familiar!

Yves Rocher Nail polish #14 Rose
I absolutely love this shade! It actually reminds me of the O.P.I shade Hawaiian Orchid, however this Yves Rocher nail polish seems much more of a deeper and stronger shade of pink, which I love!

Kryolan For Glossybox Highlighter

This is a highlighter made for Glossybox, which is a lightweight cream that can be used on cheekbones or lips for ' a natural looking glow.' I'm really excited to use this product and begin to test it out as it says this product is versatile.

So that is it for this months Glossybox and I'm pleased with the products I have received. I find I say this each time I review or post about what I receive in my Glossyboxes, but I love getting brands I have never heard of and products I most likely would never be able to try!

What do you all think about what I received in this months box??

July 2014 GlossyBox- Stars And Stripes

Hello there! 

And a very big happy and belated 4th of July to all you Americans out there! It seems GlossyBox has went all out this year for their July box and dedicated it to an American theme! Oh...and this has to be the best box/packaging I have EVER seen!!!

So lets take a wee look at what was inside!

Carmex Lip Balm- 
This is actually one lip balm/moisturiser that I have been meaning to try this product for quite some time as it always looks so bright and appealing. So I can't wait to try this little pot of lip balm, with its conditioning and moisturising properties.

Absolute New York Perfecting Eyeshadow Primer- I normally just stick to my reliable Urban Decay eyeshadow potion to prime my eyelids before using eyeshadow. However it would be great to find another brilliant eyeshadow primer product!

Mary Kay Cosmetics, Lash Love Mascara
This is another product which I have never tried (or even heard of!)
 "US best seller, Lash Love Mascara defines, defend, and delivers up to four times more volume." Sounds brilliant and it also says it contains vitamin E to help strengthen lashes and I am all for that!

Colour Club, Glossy Seal

This is a lovely full size nail polish in the shade Glossy Seal, which has been created just for Glossybox! I love the shade of this nail polish and I love it even more after reading that it I made with non-toxic and cruelty free ingredients!

Bellapierre Cosmetics Ltd,Mineral Lipstick

Oh this is my favourite product from the whole box. The shade of the lipstick is called Cat Walk and is super smooth after application, it almost feels moisturising at the same time! Love it! The price for this lippy is £20, which is usually a lot more that I pay for my lipsticks, so I was very happy to receive this in the box!

So my final thought on this months Glossybox??

Yet another fantastic box filled with new products which I can't wait to try! And considering I only paid £10 +P&P, the items within this box really exceeded the amount spent!So in my opinion definitely worth it!

June 2014 GlossyBox

Hello there!

So here it is June's Glossybox and this one...in my opinion.. its a goodin'!!

- So Susan Universal Blush //£18
This is the first item I saw when I opened this month's Glossybox. The box looked super cute to start off with and I got even more excited when I saw it was a blush! I have been so obsessed with trying new and different shades blush, so this items was perfect for me with the phase I am going through at the minute!

- Pro:Voke Touch of Silver Shampoo 

I have actually tried this product before a couple of years ago, when I wanted to get my hair to look a slightly silvery shade of blonde. So I was happy enough to receive a small bottle of this Twice a wee brightening shampoo and the product itself in my opinion smells lovely!

-Nail Girls 3 in 1 Base/ Topcoat and strengthener

This is the first I have heard of this nail polish product/company. I tend to have my nails painted all of the time, but I have yet to find a top coat nail polish that I find really works. This one does sound very promising, the fact it is labelled a 3 in 1 product!

-Rituals Qi Gong Organic White Lotus and Yi Yi Ren anti-perspirant spray

This smells AMAZING! It took me all of two seconds to whip off the lid and have a spray of this anti-perspirant after I first opened the box. Its just a shame its only a travel size 50ml one, however since I really do like the scent so much I will most certainly be looking into purchasing the full size some time soon!

-Teez Trend Cosmetics Flat stiff Brush // $19

I think this is by far my favourite item in this months Glossybox...nay... possibly my favourite item from all the Glossyboxes I have received! I love make-up brushes in general, but pair that brush with a really cool, funky print...I'm sold! The print on the brush is a mixture of Flamingoes, red lips and eyes...a wee bit strange...but I like it! 

Well...that is everything I received in this months Glossybox! 

I was very happy with everything I received, mainly because all of the products, (apart from one) I have never heard of or I had never tried before. And that is one of the main reasons why I love subscribing to Glossybox!

What did you think of this months Glossybox??

May GlossyBox 2014 // 50 years of Superdrug

Hello there!

I actually didn't renew my Glossy-box subscription last year, but when I saw they were doing a box celebrating 50 years of Superdrug, I thought it would be a good reason to start subscribing again! (Not that I needed that much convincing to do it!) 

So here is a look inside as to what I received. I have to say I was super happy with all of the products I received and they are all products which I would totally use! *HAPPY DANCE*

 Simple Kind to skin- Illuminating Radiance Cream

 Collection Bronze Glow Mosaic - 2 Radiant

 Eylure Volume No. 107 False eyelashes

 B. Sheer Conditioning Lipstick - 017 Petal

 2true Pro 3D Candy Cassis Nail art

Garnier Oil Beauty Lotion sample & Ghost Eclipse perfume sample

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NOT TOO SHABBY, HUH?? 

I was very happy when the first thing I saw was the Eylure Volume No. 107 False eyelashes! Well...anything else after the eyelashes was a bonus!! I haven't actually tried any B. lipsticks before and this shade 017 Petal is a gorgeous shade.

I am super excited to try the 2true Pro 3D Candy Cassis Nail art, as I have wanted to try for quite some time. However I am a little afraid as to how messy they are going to be when using them, but if they work they will look really cool!

Overall I LOVED all of the products and items in May's Glossybox and it was interesting to read into the history and background in Superdrug, since it is once of my go-to shops for beauty and skincare products!
