Glossy Box August 2013 - High Flyers

Emite Make-up Eyelash Curler from Sweden (Full size £19.83) - Developed with professional make-up artists these eyelash curlers certainly look the part and they come with three additional refill pads. My overall favourite item in this month’s box because I’ve been meaning to purchase a new eyelash curler and this one looks pretty decent.  

Tresemme Platinum Strength Concentrated Treatment Shot from USA (Shot size 15ml £1.49) I haven’t used Tresemme hair care products for a long time because they didn’t do anything for my hair. However this is a keratin treatment and I’ve been using keratin a lot lately because it leaves my hair soft and smelling gorgeous.

Oceane Makeup Remover Pen from Brazil (Not yet available in the UK)– I’m always creating new make-up looks so mistakes are forever taking place and this is where this tool comes in handy. Sadly if I do end up liking this tool I won’t be able to re-purchase as it’s not yet available in the UK. But in all honestly I have no problem using cotton buds and make-up remover to tackle any mistakes.

UrbanVeda Daily Radiance Face Wash from India (Sample size 20ml Full Size £7.99) - The UrbanVeda range has been formulated to naturally combat pollution, leaving skin less vulnerable to the environment. This daily radiance face wash contains turmeric, papaya and coriander. I enjoy trying new skincare products and this product  seems promising.

Jelly pong pong 2-in-1 eyeliner and shadow from UK (Full size £10.50) - I’ve had a few products from this brand in my Glossybox and found myself loving them. This is a multi-tasking product that can be used as eyeliner and shadow, so I’m looking forward to trying it out. One thing I've noticed is the shades are never stated on the products which I find to be annoying.

Again I have enjoyed this month’s Glossy box even though there were a few things I wasn’t jumping for joy about but it’s the surprise I look forward to most. As usual I’m looking forward to next month’s Glossy box (September my birthday month)!

What do you think of this month's Glossy Box?

Glossybox July 2013 Seaside Splash

Hello my beautiful readers, I hope you’re all enjoying Britain’s heat wave! Unfortunately I’m not enjoying the heat as much as I would like to, because I hurt my neck on Saturday, and I’ve had a pretty painful weekend to say the least. I received my Glossy the day I decided to do a big stretch and hurt my neck, so that’s why this post is a couple of days late. However I’m feeling a little better today and decided to do this post for you all. Talking of late I mentioned I received my Glossy on Saturday, but just this morning I got my dispatch email……..crazy? Let me know if this has ever happened to any of you. This month the Glossy team have gone with a seaside theme which I think fits perfectly with this lovely weather.  I already knew this because Glossy had a picture on their website, so since then I’ve been extra excited. The box itself is my favourite so far, I adore the design. I collect these boxes and use them for storage but this one will be used for something special. 

So this is what I received in my box this month:

Anatomicals Spray Misty For Me Facial Spritz - Full size 100ml - £6.00

I’m a big fan of Anatomicals since I reviewed some of their products, the headache balm being my favourite. This facial spritz with calming lavender and refreshing peppermint extracts helps rehydrate and calm skin. It’s great to be used every day, during flights, at the beach, in the city or in the office. To be applied on the face after cleansing or even over make-up to refresh and set make up. I’m looking forward to trying this product because I have another product very similar that I have been using a lot. Quick tip: Keep in the fridge to really make your skin feel refreshed.

Alterna Haircare Bamboo style Boho Waves Tousled Textured Mist – 25ml sample – Full size 125ml - £23.00

Your perfect “Seaside Splash” summer companion! Forget perfectly primped hair, and instead opt for effortlessly tousled, “just back from the beach” waves with weightless mist. It adds texture, volume and a healthy shine to all hair types. I’ve never used a product like this before because I have never felt the need to but I’m looking forward to giving it a try.

Coola Organic Sun care Collection Mineral Face SPF 20 Unscented – 7ml sample – Full size 50ml – £29.99

Coola Organic Sun care Collection is hypoallergic, free from Parabens and packed with antioxidants. It provides complete UVA/UVB protection and fights free radicals, while soothing, toning and minimizing pores. Organic Acai Oil delivers powerful anti-aging benefits, while organic Evening Primrose and Linseed Oils reduce inflammation and balance moisture. I’m looking forward to tying this product because it has lots of benefits, and I love multi-tasking products.

Sleek Makeup Pout Paint Mauve Over & Minx – Full size 8ml – 4.99

Pout Paints are intensive, long lasting lip pigments that are made to be mixed. Use a tiny bead of Pout Paint and smooth onto your lips for mind blowing vibrant colour that gives you full coverage that lasts for hours and dries to a satin finish. Simply use to brighten or add vibrancy to your regular colour. I’ve been meaning to try the Pout Paints for quite some time because I really like the idea of them, and if they are anything like Lime Crimes Velvetines I will adore them. I’m really happy with the colours I received because they are both colours I would wear.

Essie Sleek Sticks – One set from £9.99

I was a little disappointed because I’m not very good at applying nail wraps / foils, and I would rather have got a nail polish. However I will try these out because I like the Pattern.

Glossybox June 2013

The time has come for another Glossybox post, and this month’s box is pretty much what I was expecting. The April and May boxes were the best I've received so far, so I guessed June's box would not be as impressive. I was right June's box was nothing special but I love it all the same. A lot of people really hate it when they get something they don't like, but I don't mind so much because I'm keeping everything I don't like or use for a giveaway...so keep posted if you interested in winning some freebies.

So this is what I received in my box this month:

Figs & Rouge Cherry Blossom - full size  12.5ml £5.00

I have about ten lip balms, but I wasn't disappointed about receiving another. I always have them at hand, in my bag, bedside drawer, pockets, everywhere. I just like to keep my lips soft, supple and kissable. This lip balm is 100% natural, packed full of antioxidants and is tinted. This lip balm can also be used on the cuticles, elbows and knees which I find a little strange as it’s a tinted lip balm. I'm not sure how tinted this lip balm is because I haven't tested it yet because I have far too many lip balms open to start with. 

  

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse OR 10 ml sample - full size 100ml £34.00

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse is a muti-tasking dry oil with six precious plant oils and vitamin E. It is formulated to be easily absorbed and illuminate all skin and hair types with a subtle golden shimmer that looks like it comes from within. I was really happy to receive this product because I've heard about it before and really wanted to try it. I swatched a little on my hand and it looked beautiful. I think this product would really compliment any skin tone and add illumination to the skin. 

Paul Mitchell Curls Full Circle Leave in Treatment - 15ml sample - full size  200ml £14.95

Paul Mitchell Ultimate Wave Beachy Texture Cream Gel - 15ml sample - full size £11.95

I'm looking forward to trying this two product because I've been having my hair naturally curly lately. So I'm excited to see the results of these products. 

Monu Professional Skincare Hydrating Moisturiser SPF 15 - 30ml sample - full size 50ml £29.95

I'm very fussy with moisturisers but I'm looking forward to trying this one by Monu because of the SPF 15 and because its supposed to hydrate the skin. I've used Monu's Clay mask and that is absolutely divine so I have high hopes for the moisturiser. 

Q Body Spray - full size 100ml £2.29

Probably the most un-exiting product I've ever received in my Glossybox. I'm all for luscious scents but this spray is far to floral top notes for me, and is not a luxurious product in the slightest.
