I love Christmas and all it entails. Therefore when I was treated to this beautiful Christmas edit Glossybox I could not contain my excitement! </span></div><div><br></div><div>So Glossybox have collaborated with Harvey Nichols to create a limited edition (with only 2000 boxes available) box full of the luxury retailers most popular beauty products worth over £150 - fascinating when the box was only priced at £40. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTppvmfXMpQKeKQl1rliDdMf-7FwCrufauDkJs9uK46zIdSOYwPNWB5r6Ik9eFkKnAhD_ZPnCYaZWnxDGnXo4MSzotqL_9Sn823QeTCZkTMcyWvkYHRS1AQ2D160_sBFeK00pwxffozX4/s640/blogger-image--358798987.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTppvmfXMpQKeKQl1rliDdMf-7FwCrufauDkJs9uK46zIdSOYwPNWB5r6Ik9eFkKnAhD_ZPnCYaZWnxDGnXo4MSzotqL_9Sn823QeTCZkTMcyWvkYHRS1AQ2D160_sBFeK00pwxffozX4/s640/blogger-image--358798987.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Z3WCCGUGw5Lndgp2ayb2Z8R9cv1zy8KtSIU2sinLZ-3vHZrrEGNaLpmUYjFybVUCR7sYKoer6_Aya6ftmbpD_vNojf08RABKLWbSuOByWZb49QeI-it115na9ZcwvMqcRn_4eGwhizY/s640/blogger-image--1443368076.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Z3WCCGUGw5Lndgp2ayb2Z8R9cv1zy8KtSIU2sinLZ-3vHZrrEGNaLpmUYjFybVUCR7sYKoer6_Aya6ftmbpD_vNojf08RABKLWbSuOByWZb49QeI-it115na9ZcwvMqcRn_4eGwhizY/s640/blogger-image--1443368076.jpg"></a></div><br></div>The packaging is beautiful, not only does it elegantly showcase the winter/Christmas theme but grabs your attention with the Pure white colour.

This is a anti ageing cream that supposedly increases skins elasticity, suppleness and hydration levels at a deep level. Moreover, it can be applied on the face or neck. </div><div><br></div><div><b>Dermalogica Overnight Repair Serum - Full Size £57.50 for 15ml </b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>This 5ml sample equates to £19.16 in value, which as I am sure you would agree is another generous financial sample. This overnight serum is used to minimise fine lines and give a healthy glow to your face and fight ageing. </div><div><br></div><div><b>Rodial Bee Venom Moisturiser - Full Suze £150 for 50ml </b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>Another pricey brand sample, at 5ml again it is worth £15! This is another anti-ageing moisturiser, used to keep your skin looking young for both your face and neck. </div><div><br></div><div><b>Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Mascara - Full Size 8.5g for 19.50 </b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>This is an adorable sample, a miniature of the oh so famous, award winning mascara "They're Real" at 3g this makes a lovely travel friendly mascara that can be easily fitted into a make up bag, your handbag or even a pocket! If you are not aware the product itself boasts to make your lashes look like false lashes after application; it is a deep black colouring that not only lasts all day, smudge free but leaves your lashes lengthened, curled and looking delicious! </div><div>A great brand, product to have included in this box. </div><div><br></div><div><b>Macadamia Natural Oil Healing Oil Treatment - Full Size £21.95 for 125ml </b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>With the winter season upon us it is essential to update your hair care, this oil is applied to leave your hair smooth, shiny, manageable and nourished. To be applied to damp or dry hair for styling or simply finishing. </div><div><br></div><div><b>OPI Nail Lacquer - Viking In a Vinter Vonderland - Full Size £12 for 15ml </b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>I love OPI nail polish, not only is it beautifully formulated but long lasting. Not to forget the luring names that OPI always seem to find for their polishes. This colour is a gorgeous deep purple, perfect for both day and evening wear. I can see myself wearing this colour consistently during the Christmas period. </div><div><br></div><div><b>NARS Satin Lip Pencil - Full Size £18 for 2.2g</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>A sample size again at 1.7g which actually is not far from the full size product. NARS never fails to excite me, not only for the quality but the imagination in which all their products process. This is a chunky lip sayin pencil, I'm guessing the name of the colour is RIKUGIEN which is a dark nude colour. The formula itself is in fact smooth leaving the lips feeling silky, moisturised and smooth after application. </div><div><br></div><div><b>La Coupe Coconut and Macadamia Oil - Full Size £3.50 for 40g </b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>Another full size product and another hair treatment - you can never have too many! This oil is infused with coconut oil, macadamia oil and cocoa seed butter all blended together to leave hair deeply hydrated. </div><div><br></div><div><b>SHOW Beauty Lux Volume Lotion - Full Size 150ml for £40 </b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>Possibly my favourite product in the box, this is a full size product also and at the price of the box I'm in love. The spray itself helps create volume, structure and body to your hair once applied to damp hair. </div><div><br></div><div><b>Harvey Nichols Mini Scented Candle - £30 for a set of 4 </b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>Everyone received 1 of the 4 possible miniature candles, valuing at £7.50 each. I received the bathing candle which is a grey glass holder with a cream candle insight - it smells gorgeous. Unfortunately the glass holder broke during transit so I'm hoping Glossybox will send a replacement because I adore candles! Especially during the winter period. </div><div><br></div><div><b>This limited edition box is 100% a winner in my eyes, I have never received a beauty box better than this one. It is a real shame only 2000 were available because I could see this box wanted by so many more! </b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877394397978628104.post-35566791613401969772014-11-20T10:41:00.001-08:002014-11-22T10:02:53.310-08:00November Glossybox 2014This months glossybox has arrived and this month I am yet to find one subscriber raving about the products included. I for one, am not far behind on disappointment however, I can see many positive products in this box also; to begin with 3 of the products are full size leaving 2 sample sizes. <div><br></div><div>Another great aspect of this box is that unlike last months box glossybox brought back the product cards - meaning the surprise element was heavily welcomed back. </div><div><br></div><div>Prior to receiving this box glossybox announced two of the products for every subscriber; a eye pencil and Burt's Bees lip shine. Furthermore, not only does the box contain a spoiler for Decembers box (a bella Pierre lip stain) but a coupon code off a fashion website.</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitmSJPYE9fAASZ18y_DTtQ_Gdg8xNqTO5TVVtPQUsCm55UaMo2sLYGSs-pX0NOoNsy2ZyBlSI3l9SUOA7xl-lbLrgH5oqlZ_SgkX5Ytt3IDe5KKLr_pkV6EcpzCUrWztx3ODihPaZbJKU/s640/blogger-image--1661971543.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitmSJPYE9fAASZ18y_DTtQ_Gdg8xNqTO5TVVtPQUsCm55UaMo2sLYGSs-pX0NOoNsy2ZyBlSI3l9SUOA7xl-lbLrgH5oqlZ_SgkX5Ytt3IDe5KKLr_pkV6EcpzCUrWztx3ODihPaZbJKU/s640/blogger-image--1661971543.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>So the box was pale pink again and also matte again - a concept I really dislike given the title "Glossybox".</div><div><br></div><div><b>Lollipops MakeUp Eye Pencil </b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>One of the products announced early was this eye pencil; a deep black retractable pencil which is beautifully packaged; a nice pale pink pencil with gold leopred print - I love it! </div><div>The formula itself is said to be long lasting, enriched with Vitamin E with anti-ageing and anti-radical action - a lot of fancy wording for an eye pencil but I must say having used the product it did last right up until I washed my face in the evening, with the colour still as dark and bold as when I first glided it along my waterline. </div><div><br></div><div><b>Burt's Bees Lip Shine </b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>We all love Burt Bees products, natural ingredients that only nourish your lips! This lip shine is no exception, not only is it enriched with moisturising apricot wax but it leaves your lips feeling sweet, smooth and looking super shiny and eye catching. A great product at full size also! </div><div><br></div><div><b>H20+ Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment </b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>This is a small sample of a moisturising gel that is supposedly meant to minimises the look of fine lines, I have used this product a number of times and have noticed no difference! Moreover, the sample is merely 8ml which really is nothing, however considering 50ml costs £27.50 I guess we can't be too greedy. </div><div><br></div><div><b>MONU Skincare Refining Capri Facial Oil </b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>A facial oil that balances the oils on your face and reduces the chances of breakouts; I was super happy to see this product, I love anything that works to prevent spots however, I have tried this product the last three days and have found it has brought me out rather than reduced breakouts, hopefully if I perciever it may come good - only time will tell. </div><div><br></div><div><b>Umberto Giannini Miracle Worker</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>The last of the three full size products. This spray is to be used on damp hair before blow drying for shine of overnight for full treatment to hair; it supposedly transforms dry, damaged frizzy hair. Either way it smells gorgeous, essences from the argon oil. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877394397978628104.post-13508121146234425942014-10-13T11:52:00.001-07:002014-10-17T06:48:14.494-07:00October Glossybox 2014I have no idea where the time goes; yes I am referring to my glossybox, having been a month already the October box has now arrived. <div><br></div><div>This month the theme was pop art, as you can see from the picture above, the box itself was a little different this month as every subscriber received a different colour - mine being yellow. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdhsSGv3DWjJ3R7ggcBgTvFAZriLjPYOGvvbvushoY1OnzywTB7cuR0yS4HlarqDT2MU6KVtZWU5C0Tq0D7Zqxg53Jjc4lVCOry2b7AwBAjXxvzsaBQFDGXxANdiDTGo2dVyN2kEDnCGI/s640/blogger-image-249602889.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdhsSGv3DWjJ3R7ggcBgTvFAZriLjPYOGvvbvushoY1OnzywTB7cuR0yS4HlarqDT2MU6KVtZWU5C0Tq0D7Zqxg53Jjc4lVCOry2b7AwBAjXxvzsaBQFDGXxANdiDTGo2dVyN2kEDnCGI/s640/blogger-image-249602889.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Another quirky aspect of this box is that usually it comes with a small product card with all the information regarding each product in the box. However, this month Glossybox has emailed the product card to create an online product card; the information was emailed prior to receiving the box therefore, all subscribers would be aware of the contents prior to the arrival of the box.

With brows so big in fashion at the moment it is no wonder that so many beauty makers are producing these little brushes. </div><div>The brush is tiny, making it easy to shape and fill in your eye brows without getting the tinted gel everywhere. On application the gel is wet however, it quickly dries and holds your brow hairs in place for hours. </div><div>Perfect size for easy application, travel friendly and more importantly perfect for making those brows perfect all day long. </div><div><br></div><div><b>L'Oreal Professionnel Mythic Masque, 75ml - Full size £15.50 for 200ml</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>A nice sized sample of this hair masque, that works a little differently to some of those others I have used. It is to be used after you have washed your hair and towel dried your hair, you then apply the masque for 3 minutes and wash out again. </div><div>I look forward to trying this product out on my next pampering night, with the winter weather upon us products like these are brilliant treats for our hair. May I add this product smells delicious! </div><div><br></div><div><b>SkinPep Enzyme and Acid Peel - </b></div><div><b>- Peeling Gel = £3.05 3.5ml </b></div><div><b>- Eye Cream = £6.49 2ml</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>Exspensive samples alone let alone the full size products. However I enjoy getting these kinds of example, it's good to know exactly how the product is on your skin before paying £40+ for these Skincare essentials. </div><div>I look forward to trying these out, especially the eye cream which is supposedly meant to erase dark circles. Whereas the peeling gel acts as a exfoliater, leaving skin soft and bright. </div><div><br></div><div><b>Nails inc Westminster Bridge Matte Top Coat, £12 for 12ml</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>The second of the two full sized products in this box; a matte top coat. Giving women the chance to make any, yes ANY nail polish matte. </div><div>With everything matte so hot right now it is no wonder this little beauty found it's way in the glossybox. A lovely little extra that is actually award winning. </div><div>I can't wait to try this out!!!</div><div><br></div><div><b>Vichy Normaderm Night Detox and Hydrating Care</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>Tiny 3ml samples however, this is a very well known skin care brand that can be used to target adult blemishes - a cream we all need from time to time. </div><div>I especially like how both the day and night cream are provided here. Again, another product I wouldn't normally buy due to the high price tag, it's always good to start with a sample!</div><div><br></div><div><i>A good box this month, packed with some lovely treats and great samples to try. I especially love the box itself this month, but I'm obsessed with London so this fantastic to me! </i></div><div><i><br></i></div><div><i>Another delight this box comes with is a sneak peak into next months box. Interestingly, Glossybox havnt done this before which is a shame because I like the hints they offer online so I was especially pleased to see this. </i></div><div><i>The sneak peak card provides that the October Glossybox is going to be a Andy Warhol inspried Pop Art Box; which will be available in green,yellow,red and blue - so every reader will receive 1 of the 4 variations ! A nice little gimik to think about for next month. </i></div><div><i><br></i></div><div><i>Furthermore, next month every reader will revive a full size (50ml) Nuxe Masque Creme Fraiche de Beaute - which is a hydrating face masque worth £19.50. </i></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877394397978628104.post-25882603627107308722014-09-04T10:31:00.001-07:002014-09-04T10:31:39.575-07:00Urban Decay Pulp Fiction Palette<b>I am so excited to have been gifted this, so </b><b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">much so I could not wait to blog about it. I can not comprehend how someone with a love for all things make up would not purchase this beautifully crafted gimik palette. </b><div><b><br></b></div><div>So Urban Decay have always been one of my favourite make up brands, it is high end price but really there is a reason - the pigmentation, the imagination both ooze out with UD palettes in particular. Perhaps most renowned for their perfectly designed naked palettes (which I also adore).</div><div><br></div><div>This year marks the twentieth anniversary of the realease of the famous film Pulp Fiction, to celebrate UD have brought out a small limited edition range in honour of Mrs. Mia Wallace (a character of the film).</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbcg6rfdz0Kqr4khT5oyrtQePoyXqtX5pOBaor3ZVA_OR8lzXXT45wwA0iN_o0g1HzFwxRMjpl3OBYjNQUOOUAW1PORBtrZiMKnwVefQEgajlIprECZdDBEpolYsf2I3gCXwublxQmubA/s640/blogger-image-1924810884.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbcg6rfdz0Kqr4khT5oyrtQePoyXqtX5pOBaor3ZVA_OR8lzXXT45wwA0iN_o0g1HzFwxRMjpl3OBYjNQUOOUAW1PORBtrZiMKnwVefQEgajlIprECZdDBEpolYsf2I3gCXwublxQmubA/s640/blogger-image-1924810884.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>The packaging is simple but elegantly in theme of the movie itself. The front of the actual palette is a quote of another character in the movie, reading;</div><div><br></div><div>"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides yh the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of post children.

You will see from the picture above on the left is the new box whereas the box on the right is the signature style. Normally the box is pastel pink and glossy throughout - signifying the title "glossybox" whereas this month the box is matte texture and slightly smaller, the logo is also larger. I am not sure if this is a permenant change or a special edition in light of their anniversary; either way I am actually fond of the beautiful matte finish although, it is kind of contradicting the logo name and idea. </div>

Differences aside. The above picture shows what came in this months glossybox, overall a nice little treat although unfortunately for glossybox I have seen many subscribers unhappy, yeah ok it's not the best box and considering it's a birthday special it is nothing to shout about. However, for the price and element of surprise I quite like this box and it's contents.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
As previously mentioned the box included 6 products this month as oppose to 5. Every month Glossybox include a sneak peak product where they alerts their subscribers of one product that will be included in the box for everyone; this month it was the Philip Kingsley Elasticizer. </div>

Surprisingly I have never heard of this product. Boasting it's creation to Audrey Hepburn, this pre shampoo treatment is designed to give your hair elasticity, bounce and shine without weighing it down. A lovely little sampler, considering the price of this product I look forward to testing it out. </div>

At only 3ml this is the tiniest nail polish I have ever seen, however I love it! Perhaps it's because tiny products really excite me, it is so adorable.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The color itself is a beautiful natural pink tone, it was completely opaque after one coat and glided on nicely. The only issue I had with this was the look it have once dried, you'll see from the image below it gives off a matte, kind of bubbly look - however I will note I did not apply a top coat. </div>

You'll see from the photo that it does make a difference. It does provide volume and deep colour but I personally find it very clumpy.<br />

Moreover, I am pleased to report that not only are these products fantastic but affordable also. </span></i><br>

<i><br></i></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have 10 products to tell you about this month, three of which are hair, four cosmetics and two beauty products. </span></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<b><u>Hair Products</u></b></div>
<div>
<b><br></b></div>
<div>
<i><b>Schwarzkopf Got 2 b oil-licious weightless Dry Oil Mist </b><span style="font-size: x-small;">- </span></i>RRP £3.99, 200ml</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #351c75;">This has become a favorite of mine over the growing months, more so in July. With the weather heating up my hair has dried out, therefore I have been searching everywhere for a nice product to help with dryness. Moreover, whenever my hair gets dry it becomes frizzy and unmanageable. This spray is designed for those exact situations, it tames the hair, leaving it smooth and shiny. </span></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<i style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>Schwarzkopf Got 2 b oil-licious tame & shine Styling Oil </b>- </i><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">RRP £3.99, 50ml</span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); color: #351c75;">Having been so happy with the oil mist I decided to branch out and looked at the other products in the oil-licious range; this is the styling oil, as you will see from the picture above (at the front) it is only a small little bottle, however a little does go a long way. The oil is a non-greasy formula including argon oil, which is always a healthy bonus - it can be used either prior to washing your hair, after you have washed your hair, prior to drying and also for styling dry hair. I personally use this oil after washing my hair, it has helped make my hair shiny, healthy and moisturised once dried. A great little addition to my hair routine. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><i><b>Batiste dry shampoo XXL Volume</b></i><b> - </b>RRP £3.99, 200ml</span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); color: #351c75;">Every girl needs a dry shampoo on there vanity unit and Batiste is one of the best I have ever come across, specifically the XXL Volume edition. A quick little spray over and my hair becomes voluminous, alive and looks fresh; fantastic for on the move. The best element of Batiste products is that they do a product for everyone, no matter what you want from your dry shampoo, you will find it with this fantastic brand. </span><br>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); color: #351c75;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b><u>Cosmetics</u></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b><br></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><i><b>Max Factor Face Finity all day Primer </b></i>- RRP £10.99, 30ml</span><br>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); color: #351c75;">I have been loyal to my MAC primer for long enough, however over the past few weeks I have found myself reaching for this very affordable alternative. My sister very generously gave me this primer, I will always be grateful, I do not own many Max Factor products but this primer is fantastic, not only does it smell beautifully refreshing but it is remarkably smooth. Make up lasts all day and skin feels moisturised and nourished. I will defiantly be re purchasing this new beauty essential. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><i><b>Rimmel London BB Matte</b> - </i>RRP £6.99, 30ml</span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); color: #351c75;">Consider how much I have used this product I should have placed it at the top of the list. I LOVE this BB cream, not only does it apply effortlessly but it also blurs pores, evens skin tone and leaves your face looking beautifully matte, but not dry. </span><br>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); color: #351c75;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><i><b>L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes, Extra Black</b> - </i>£10.99, 9.2ml</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #351c75;">I walked into Superdrug with the goal to purchase the new L'Oreal Million Lashes So Couture, however after much debate and a little chat with a sales assistant I walked out with the extra black million lashes instead and I certainly do not regret it. The brush itself has a multitude of bristles which separate the lashes, giving you long individually bold separated lashes, that last all day long. Since purchasing this mascara I have not even reached for any of my others, holy grail status here. </span><br>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><i><b>Maybelline New York, Colorstay Stripped Nude Lipstick, Coffee Craze</b> - </i>RRP £6.99</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #351c75;">I actually purchased this back in May, however, I did not use it too much. Having given the lipstick a shot, it has successfully made its way into my every day make up bag, it is a beautiful moisturising nude that is remarkably similar to my lip colour but adds a slight shine. A lovely nude, lovely quality and lasts very well considering it is a drug store lipstick. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<b><u>Other</u></b> </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Johnson's Face Care Makeup Be Gone, Extra Sensitive wipes. 25 Wipes - </i>RRP £3.03</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #351c75;">I always like to have make-up wipes for those nights I am far too tiered to wash my face. I came across Johnson's range whilst shopping in Asda and have actually grown rather fond of them. Like always I purchased the sensitive option as I don't want any harsh ingredients on my face. These wipes are 100% fragrance and alcohol free and leave the skin feeling cleansed and soft; they even remove waterproof mascara and bold eye liner easily. Great purchase if your on the hunt for make-up remover wipes. </span></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Nivea anti-perspirant stress protect rollerball deodorant - </i>RRP £2.09 for 50ml</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #351c75;">Having mostly always used spray deodorants it did not occur to me to try this little roller. However, it was actually bought for me and with the weather only getting warmer I was not going to turn it down. Gosh, I am glad I didn't, the deodorant itself has lasted all through July, it smells fresh, clean, moisturised and it does not need to be frequently applied. Once is enough, sometimes twice throughout the day, depends on what I am doing. </span></div>

<br />
Anyone that has been in Wilkinsons recently would have noticed the fresh look they have adopted, therefore, subsequently the new products they now have to offer; specifically in relation to the health and beauty department.<br />
<br />
I was in the shop for a total of 40 seconds before I almost ran to the new premium brushes;<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h1 id="comp-name0347992" style="margin: 18px auto; padding: 0px; width: 304px;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-size: 17px;"><u>Wilko Premium Stipler Found Brush, RRP £4.00</u></span></h1>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbuZA3HYSjkMJJvaiVaGgsidvoM4nC5JQzAJazv0vbB5W-YCDRw0vO-5DqgdTJbUj6yArQUROGl6gInSt_hIve886KlE7x58jOF_q6B4xPMFlt8fQjUP3Xu14rWJIW5_0eJnGEZ8Slr-c/s640/blogger-image-1374917256.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbuZA3HYSjkMJJvaiVaGgsidvoM4nC5JQzAJazv0vbB5W-YCDRw0vO-5DqgdTJbUj6yArQUROGl6gInSt_hIve886KlE7x58jOF_q6B4xPMFlt8fQjUP3Xu14rWJIW5_0eJnGEZ8Slr-c/s400/blogger-image-1374917256.jpg" width="112" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The first thing that I was immediately drawn to was the new brushes that the store now offers, this includes a Stipler Brush - a little confusion as to the spelling as I have always known the brush spelling as Stippler, however it appears wilko on everything other than the outer packaging of the brush Spells it as Stipler. A spelling mistake I am sure, but forget that and look at the brush:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAhfRQKTRuzYQw3CoWgIeYtE5lsfju5BbWm9pMECxgdS161zL6vDc8Isqhs1TEL9ZhkyUqtLHvUsGV1PBcqbZvfa6nRVkTK9EFKSqxH2u2MK_RSfh5E6j-Ny2U3SbppoeVqHEG_u44HJk/s640/blogger-image--2139913642.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAhfRQKTRuzYQw3CoWgIeYtE5lsfju5BbWm9pMECxgdS161zL6vDc8Isqhs1TEL9ZhkyUqtLHvUsGV1PBcqbZvfa6nRVkTK9EFKSqxH2u2MK_RSfh5E6j-Ny2U3SbppoeVqHEG_u44HJk/s640/blogger-image--2139913642.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The brush handle is of course a little cheap, it does feel like that after a moderate use the handle will fade, snap or simple fall apart. However, at a mere £4 I don't expect anyone to think it will last forever; although I am going to remain positive and hope it surprises me! The actual handle is plastic, with black and gold detail. So I am not a fan of the packaging, although the little pouch the brush comes in may be a blessing when it comes to travelling....<br />
<br />
The most important part of this brush is of course the bristles, made from 100% synthetic hair, it is soft, full and actually appears to be very durable indeed. I have also read many reviews on this brush claiming it to be in the very same state as purchase after several washes, simply incredible. <br />
<br />
Apart from the cheap design and poor spelling errors, this brush really is a beauty to have in your collection. It is not only very very affordable but it works just as well as the top brands equivalent. I will be sure to be purchasing the whole range of Wilko's premium brushes asap. Well done Wilko, bringing affordability and quality into one.<br />
<br />
Now, go get your brushes ladies!<br />

<b>Hello Beautiful! </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><br></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Without chocolate a lot of us ladies would not be able to enjoy beauty products as much as we currently do; you have a nice pamper night in with some wine and chocolate, am I right? Chocolate is a evil necessary, it taste good, it looks good and makes you feel amazing BUT then the evil kicks in, the fat tummy, bum? Let's ignore the evil today and enjoy the benefits chocolate brings. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
More specifically the beauty of the <b>NEW </b>Cadbury Dairy Milk, Chips Ahoy! A combination of the nations favourite standard dairy milk with cookie mixed in. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

From the picture you can see the delicious cookie in the centre with the standard dairy milk coat topping.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I can not begin to describe accurately the sensation of this chocolate, with cookie combined it is remarkably smooth with only a small crunch, but enough to enjoy the biscuit expierence all the same. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I found this little treasure in Tesco, on a special introductory offer of just £1.00 for 120g - 30p cheaper then the average 120g dairy milk chocolate. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
You can thank me later ladies, for now go and get your guilty pleasure today. </div>

<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
This hand cream is beautiful in every aspect, the packaging is cute, pretty and practical (even survives in my handbag) whilst the cream itself is smooth, creamy, soft and smells amazing, leaving the skin moisturised and nourished. </div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
A little really does go a long way with this hand cream, it's formula is perfectly formulated to create a creamy finish that, unlike other leading hand creams does not leave the skin oily, my hands soaked up the good moisture this product has to offer in seconds. </div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

And the smell? Absolutely gorgeous, fresh, flowery and addictive. I find myself re smelling this product over and over again; sometimes without applying!!!</div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
Overall, I am in love with this hand cream, which now sits (with pride) in my handbag as an essential alongside my purse. A pleasant find on holiday, that actually since I have returned it can be bought online via eBay, defiantly check that out if your looking for a delight.<br />

<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Then began the three years of case reading, reciting Acts, researching commission papers, engaging with journals, long days, no sleep and finding the intelligence to form a well structured, valid legal/commercial criticism paper. All in the process to earn that degree. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
I finally made it! I am now a proud owner of a 2:1 LLB Hons Degree, a 2014 Graduate. I survived law school and I have come out the other end feeling positive, inspired and tiered. Therefore, it was only right I planned every beauty detail to prepare me for the day of my Graduation ceremony. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
At times like a graduation ceremony a girl needs to priorities her beauty needs, in my case the key elements to really nail was first, the skin; it needs to look bright, moisturised but most of all fresh. Next in the list is hair, my hair is long but not in the best state, something I really needed to nurse before the big day. Then we have the issue of make up and of course what to wear! </div>

If my memory serves me correctly, I was introduced to this moisturiser by a magazine, although I can not remember which one; it was months ago now. However, since receiving a small sample of this soft, creamy, thick formula I have used it every single day as my standard moisturiser; applying after washing my face. I believe it comes in varies editions, mine is for dull skin, created to wake your skin up for the day - fresh and clean. I can not argue with that statement!<br>

This hair spray is a god send, it holds your hair style but does not dry out the hair, make your hair hard and brushes out with ease at the end of the night. It is a little pricey for a hair spray but I would highly recommend this product, the formula, the packaging and the results; all fantastic.<br>
<br>
<b><u>Outfit of The Day</u></b><br>
<u><br></u>Prior to my Graduation I spent five nights in New York, therefore I only had shopping on the mind whilst there, searching high and low for a beautiful dress to compliment my make-up and hair choice. It was just my luck that I actually found a beautiful coral dress in H&M; the H&M in Times Square, NY was amazing, big, shiny and open till 11pm - heaven. I paired the dress with some black and white heels from New Look, simple, professional and elegant but not to high to ruin my feet.<br>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">Please excuse the camera flash glare, the packaging is very dark so it is difficult to get a satisfying picture of these beauty's. L'Oreal boast this duo to be a breakthrough in the science of hair, I call it magic, after one use of this perfect pair I noticed the difference, my hair felt stronger, thicker and had life with body and bounce- imagine my surprise when the results simply continue to get better wash after wash. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

If you take anything from this blog then make it a purchase of these, I am in love and would happily stand by this product 100%. For those seeking an outstanding result then simply purchase the accompanying thickening masque and thickness booster from the same line - you will be amazed!</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Garnier have very kindly embraced the wide range of issues that the average woman has with their hair and intruduced solutions in the form of there Ultimate Blends range. I purchased the nourishing repair shampoo, with avocado oil as a key ingredient, this shampoo is fantastic for dry, damaged hair or in my case, the morning after curling and hair spraying! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
No matter what I do to my hair it will always be gently restored by use of this shampoo, the only negative I have is that once the lid is opened it is difficult to control how much comes out of the bottle, it takes a while to control it! No matter however, as this shampoo smells of Shea butter, absolutely divine. If your hair is really damaged then Garnier kindly intruduced a conditioner to accompany this saver - I am yet to try this though! </div>

I have has this product for months, maybe even a year! It just goes forever. The mousse is a proffessional formula designed with volume control complex which gives voluptuous body and bounce to your style - boy does it! I only ever use this product when I am need for big hair for example when I am planning to curl my hair as it makes my hair thick, big and holds the curls for days! The only issue I have with this is how sticky the mousse gets if you do not massage it in to the hair roots correctly. However, we can look past that fault and just peel our eyes to the beautiful locks this product helps us to achieve! A great mousse for anyone looking for BIG hair. </div>

As part of the Herbal Essences family these two masks of course smell amazing, they both do what they claim, one gives your ends some care, nourishing any damage but more impritantly preventing damage whilst the other makes your hair thicker and more shiny - both as beautiful and beneficial as the other. I tend to alternate weekly which one I use depending on what products or heating tools I have used on my hair that week, defiantly LOVE these masks.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Moreover, many leading supermarkets actually do promotional offers on theses products, I myself got both of these for the price of one; as Sainsburys was running a promotion of both being half priced - therefore I snapped these up! I have since seen these out of stock in many places, not surprising but don't compromise, wait. This will be a holy grail after one aplication.</div>

Every Sunday this is my hair treat, with a blend of 5 vitamins, active shine boosters this oil is great for giving your hair a nice little weekly boost. I have used this now every week for the past two months, it is extremely affordable and really shows results. This oil, unlike others I have trialled is very easy to apply, I place it in boiling water while I run a nice bubbly bath, then as I get into the bath I apply it all over my hair specifically the ends, after 10 minutes of relaxing I simply wash it out and that is me done for another week, simple!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I believe VO5 also do another set focussing on nourishing your hair shine, I have not tried this myself as I would rather focus on the condition of my hair then the shine but if it is anything like this little gem then I would imagine it to be just as good. </div>

<br />
So it's that time of the month again when the little pink box (blue, red and white box this month) arrives full of beauty goodies. Yes. I am talking about Glossybox; a subscription service which delivers 5 products to your door, once a month to enjoy. The box itself costs £13.25 overall, that includes delivery, although the box gets cheaper depending on your subscription choice. There is four subscription choices; first the monthly subscription, 3 month subscription, 6 month and an annual option also - the price of the box gets lower the longer subscription you make.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So this months Glossybox is a Stars and Stripes theme, i.e American Hero beauty products. My guess, is that the American theme is in honor of the 3rd July, which of course is also known as independent day in America. Therefore, let me introduce you to the July 2014 Stars and Stripes Glossybox -<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCV9JJ3QTiRSJ4lD0z_pHE3PvK5ePEFH69w-lRY13z5ptCHc69vG2I-A5pvoifAzHdJiM7vedBkIJZ-TuMLL2xhlyujXwYKIJQ8Zp0InTYroAgQunL5AnHJtSmWD36nXDRmFvyeUo_Qws/s1600/the+box.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCV9JJ3QTiRSJ4lD0z_pHE3PvK5ePEFH69w-lRY13z5ptCHc69vG2I-A5pvoifAzHdJiM7vedBkIJZ-TuMLL2xhlyujXwYKIJQ8Zp0InTYroAgQunL5AnHJtSmWD36nXDRmFvyeUo_Qws/s1600/the+box.jpg" height="320" width="214" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
The box comes with 5 products in total, 4 of which are full size;<br />
1. Bellapierre Cosmetics Ltd Mineral Lipstick in Mandarina<br />
2. Absolute New York Perfecting Eyeshadow Primer<br />
3. Classic Carmex moisturising lip balm<br />
4. Color Club Nail Lacquer in Glossy Seal<br />
5. Pur Minerals Dirty Girl Detoxifying Mudd Masque<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u>Bellapierre Cosmetics Ltd Mineral Lipstick in Mandarina, 3.5g RRP £20 </u><br />
<u><br /></u>
This product was actually a sneak peak given by Glossybox some time ago, therefore I expected it within the box just like every other subscriber. I believe there was three possible shades you could have received, I received Mandarina which is a beautiful dark orange shade. The product I received was also full size, therefore making it a great little gift and bargain for the £13.25 box.<br />
<i>This cult American favourite is formulated with natural waxes, mineral pigments, and antixidant including Vitamin C and Vitamin E, providing long lasting colour and protection against the sun.</i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOtM4OgNof0Xf5Wy0_YWqAjAIxXoT7e9YS6w32M9hFd5Dowrle00PBVZrfFTMSU2TnTIh00jPTGxv5jvkf8KbRTPC4zjo8rQlSO_73l0MlclYoNtjVZ_AaAKPbDmIvkvZctOrtDK_vju8/s1600/Glossybox+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOtM4OgNof0Xf5Wy0_YWqAjAIxXoT7e9YS6w32M9hFd5Dowrle00PBVZrfFTMSU2TnTIh00jPTGxv5jvkf8KbRTPC4zjo8rQlSO_73l0MlclYoNtjVZ_AaAKPbDmIvkvZctOrtDK_vju8/s1600/Glossybox+3.jpg" height="244" width="320" /></a></div>
As you can see from the image swatch the colour is very vibrant, it also very smooth on application and moisturising. However, my absolute favorite thing about this lipstick is in fact the smell, it smells gorgeous! Very much reminds of Galaxy chocolate, I know I will be fighting to not lick this all off. I am yet to test it for a full day to test the durability of the lipstick. The lipstick is also, although I can not yet confirm, supposed to add protection from the sun - if that is true then I will be sure to be packing this lovely summer color for the beach!<br />
<br />
<u>Absolute New York Perfecting Eyeshadow Primer, One Size 7.9g, - RRP $4.99 </u><br />
<u><br /></u>
This is again a full size product, I have never actually heard of this brand but defiantly looking forward to testing it. So the Glossybox leaflet describes this product as;<br />
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsBCB6id2NI403a0eYzn5wIz-XfWkg_douCw0VgGhY0-QiTbY1JngWBAruxUAux4K_MhhMfFSAVV_nzhfUCnE0zqgxoP0xnP2i8H7OBbwUOsZ3Is-l8oOxqB1NljeqfjQk1ST6tFnPQGg/s1600/Glossybox+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsBCB6id2NI403a0eYzn5wIz-XfWkg_douCw0VgGhY0-QiTbY1JngWBAruxUAux4K_MhhMfFSAVV_nzhfUCnE0zqgxoP0xnP2i8H7OBbwUOsZ3Is-l8oOxqB1NljeqfjQk1ST6tFnPQGg/s1600/Glossybox+4.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>This oil-free, ultra-creamy formula evens skin tone around the eye area and keeps eyeshadow crease-free and colour-true for a lasting look.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Ever since I discovered eye shadow primer I have generally stuck to Urban Decay, having fallen in love with the formula. However, I am delighted to have received this little gem, which judging from the price is extremely affordable. Of course upon opening the box I was compelled to swatches this primer, and although it seemed very creamy and thick at first, once I had blended the product into my skin it appeared slightly oily - although this is not always a bad trait when you are perhaps placing powdery eye shadows on top. The product can also be used alone, without eye shadow as a neutralizer for redness on the eye lid and to make the eyes appear brighter.<br />
<br />
<u>Classic Carmex Moisturising Lip Balm, 7.5g/8.5ml - RRP £2.69</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
The third full size product is this Carmex lip balm. Carmex is a very well known loved brand and I am certainly not an exception, so I was pleased to have this in my box.<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">Loved by celebrities and makeup artists all over the world, CARMEX is the original lip balm and the only way to soothe dry, chapped lips. With menthol, camphor, and beeswax, lips are nourished, conditioned, and protected from the elements all year round. You need this staple in your bag!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnJ9KYG5MyjNLJXrS-y-VSWSKbVUYviZDohyphenhyphenpPeQHKw3mt4jMQuGAeTycXWFLMfa4C0L-LDqEWItbThCvWtIMoNCLNZ5dyg6FC4EmcLxEqfEHEwprEusZKbyBMwUjRJ5g9dLPh2kCzbZ8/s1600/Glossybox+8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnJ9KYG5MyjNLJXrS-y-VSWSKbVUYviZDohyphenhyphenpPeQHKw3mt4jMQuGAeTycXWFLMfa4C0L-LDqEWItbThCvWtIMoNCLNZ5dyg6FC4EmcLxEqfEHEwprEusZKbyBMwUjRJ5g9dLPh2kCzbZ8/s1600/Glossybox+8.jpg" height="250" width="320" /></a></div>
This product is essential for dry, cracked lips which is what I find myself suffering from regularly, I apply numerous times in the day lip balm so I very much look forward to placing this little pot into my handbag. Carmex was invented in the USA in the 1930's and boasts a sale of over 130 every minute - an impressive portfolio that was defiantly well deserved in this Glossybox American hero's theme.<br />
<br />
<u>Color Club Nail Lacquer in Glossy Seal, 15ml - RRP $8</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
The fourth and final full size product this months Glossbox offers is this delightful, very appropriate coloured nail lacquer, here is what Glossybox had to say about it;<br />
<i>Color Club nail polish is proudly made in New York with only non-toxic, cruelty free ingredients. The shade Glossy Seal has been especially formulated for your July Glossybox!</i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE9XfytFdBseOnDgRVPTqKHpODkJeCpLW6hGPZyUyrye7u_A7ycajQdjR3REPAim98ShHhTP5kQuQhL66Eog4hRgA2nb_p5QrDPZ_fn-Nruw-_3z7fcPAwIr2o8jwviU9-lc04Ae6UqTg/s1600/Glossyox+7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE9XfytFdBseOnDgRVPTqKHpODkJeCpLW6hGPZyUyrye7u_A7ycajQdjR3REPAim98ShHhTP5kQuQhL66Eog4hRgA2nb_p5QrDPZ_fn-Nruw-_3z7fcPAwIr2o8jwviU9-lc04Ae6UqTg/s1600/Glossyox+7.jpg" height="276" width="320" /></a></div>
Evidently, this appears a limited edition colour specifically for Glossybox, great! The image above shows two coats of the lacquer on my nail, without a top coat as I just applied the polish quickly, to give you an idea of the colour and its application. The formula is nice, shiny and fairly thick although, I would always recommend two coats just to give the colour its true pay off. I am not a big fan of dark colours but I am not going to complain as evidently this colour represents America - given its an American box I expected such a colour to appear. The product is nice if you like the colour, however, I am not too keen so therefore can not see myself using it too often although that is no criticism to the formula or application. Moreover, at $8 this is defiantly an affordable polish, even on the exchange rate.<br />
<br />
<u>Pur Minerals Dirty Girl Detoxifying Mudd Masque, 15g Sample - Full size 120g at £18</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
This is the only sample product I receuved this month, which is absolutly great! Glossybox in the past have been known for offering far too many samples, but it would appear they have really stepped up there game! Rather than attempting to explain the full effects of this masque I will offer you the Glossybox description;<br />
<i>Dirty Girl unclogs pores, cleanses skin and gently exfoliates. Pascalite Clay absorbs pore-clogging impurities while Salicylic Acid removes dead skin for a visibly fresher, more radiant complexion. Apply masque liberally to clean skin and treat for 5-20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.</i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWNgAKQxfrsrFiwME_eh-UiTr-rG5fDiB4qSh_LGgvDPRr3yZ9mZIXxn-0_Q6nCTM6Sgb_AIZdcIuvbCbuQthXksH5nyOH7mEWO4tkkcIDi7Gu-i3EX5uyh9ESB_ekpSOvSQJSauQV1lU/s1600/Glossybox+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWNgAKQxfrsrFiwME_eh-UiTr-rG5fDiB4qSh_LGgvDPRr3yZ9mZIXxn-0_Q6nCTM6Sgb_AIZdcIuvbCbuQthXksH5nyOH7mEWO4tkkcIDi7Gu-i3EX5uyh9ESB_ekpSOvSQJSauQV1lU/s1600/Glossybox+6.jpg" height="253" width="320" /></a></div>
As far as sample sizes go this is not too bad. I would guess that I could possibly get two applications out of this small tube. However, if the product proves to be amazing, then Glossybox has included a discount code to receive 20% off any one purchase at Pur Minerals at M&S (Marks and Spencer). The product itself is a grey thick cream, as seen above it obviously, as described looks like clay. I am yet to try this product but from what I have read and seen it appears a nice little masque, coincidentally I have been breaking out so maybe this is exactly what I need! My only issue with this is the smell, its very potent, almost medical.<br />
<br />
<b>Overall I am in love with this months Glossybox, never have I found it this simply to write a review of so many products at once but this was easy. Some great little gems, if you have not already done so then I would highly recommend subscribing, I myself, was going to unsubscribe this month just because I have received three boxes so far and was not very impressed, however after this little treasure I will be keeping faith and loyalty with Glossybox for a little longer.</b><br />

In a nutshell this product regulary gets the hype and rightly so, having recently won "Best in Face" product in the Oprah Magazine, Spring 2013 this concealer really is essential. However, it is a little pricey therefore, I would not recommend buying this if your drugstore concealer is doing the job perfectly - it's great but you will not be missing out on too much.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Firstly, let's talk about the packaging , just like many concealers it comes in a tube with the lid acting as an applicator upon opening, the applicator itself is very soft making the application gentle and smooth. The concealer itself smells clean but strong - it is very difficult to describe when I say strong I do t refer to a bleach smell but more alcohol tint. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Previously I have used drugstore concealers such as Maybelline Fit Me concealer and Rimmel London Wak Me Up concealer - both which worked wall, for short bursts but I found they never lasted all day without looking either greasy, creased or simply worn off, therefore, having heard so much about NARS and its radiant concealer I thought it may be the answer to my problems!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I always use concealer under my eyes generally, however, since I was able to get the lightest US shade I have taken to using my concealer not only to wake up under the eyes but to highlight also; meaning I use the concealer on the bridge of my nose, under the eyes, on the chin and above the lips. The verdict, I could nit be happier the concealer (as previously mentioned) applies smoothly and gentle, it glides onto the skin and even blends in perfectly, I have any many requests and compliments regarding my highlighting process since. However, contrary to NARS claim I have found that the concealer does cease after an hour or two of being applied, although this can be avoided by adding a small amount of powder after applying the concealer to your face. Since setting the concealer with powder I have nothing to complain about this product.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Overall, if you are looking for a beautifully designed smooth creamy concealer than this is where your search stops, NARS have perfected the formula to say the least, I could not imagine using my old drugstore concealers again, providing you have setting powder I can not see why this concealer would not be beneficial for every skin tones and types. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i>What next?</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i>Come back in 2 days to find a review on my July Glossybox - A special Stars and Stripes edition which includes American beauty Heros.</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><br></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><br></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Follow me;</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Instagram - </b>Amybrooker345</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Twitter - </b>@Amysjbrooker</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHh0ff-CE4EE8pzBQ8htkekzU9-n_n1Rrk3Q7ZzZT-dMMSOEb3K7NQSjpVBcRQWO1Ir4T-_RILpL_HOHSoDvXUEeGD93CF5NTcUeKCnrB1d_fdHiEaKlGc-hkGBLC-JdXjoq0QQA0gGUA/s640/blogger-image-662029126.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHh0ff-CE4EE8pzBQ8htkekzU9-n_n1Rrk3Q7ZzZT-dMMSOEb3K7NQSjpVBcRQWO1Ir4T-_RILpL_HOHSoDvXUEeGD93CF5NTcUeKCnrB1d_fdHiEaKlGc-hkGBLC-JdXjoq0QQA0gGUA/s640/blogger-image-662029126.jpg"></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877394397978628104.post-59006749433153895912014-07-05T10:27:00.000-07:002014-08-05T09:26:18.591-07:00Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

So for those of you who may not have heard of this product it is a brow gel for defining and sculpting your eyebrows; it comes in five shades (Blonde, Auburn, Chocolate, Dark Brown and Ebony) I of course bought dark brown to match my natural brow colour. Moreover, the description given by Anastasia Beverly Hills is; </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<em>"Waterproof brow colour ideal for sculpting, defining, and carving perfectly precise brows that won't fade. Smudge-free, creamy formula glides on skin and adheres to hair. Must-have for oily skin and humid climates."</em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<br />
I can not find one bad thing to say about this product myself, I love the results and how well the gel glides onto my skin and blend straight in with my brows with little to no effort needed on my behalf. The gel itself is very dark and looked too dark prior to applying so I almost bought the chocolate colour, but I am very thankful I didn't - the colour appears much harsher in the little pot - which is a very cute pretty petite design, I love the simplicity of the packaging. The little pot is defiantly not something to put you off purchasing this gel as a little dab of the gel goes a long way, I can envisage this product lasting months before I need to re-purchase. <br />
<br />
This is the first Anastasia product that I have owned and I can see myself venturing to buy more, not only does the gel apply easy it also lasts all day, in fact all night also! However, when I do apply a make up remover pad on it, it will remove after a little scrub, which is great as usually long lasting dark products tend to almost tattoo itself onto my skin. <br />
<br />
As usual, it will not review a product if I do not have overwhelming positive feedback on it and this gel is defiantly a positive feedback - I have always used my sleek eyebrow set, which is still my favourite drugstore brow kit hands down but this brow has defiantly been promoted to my every day make up bag, I love its durability and look equally. <br />
<br />
To conclude if you have oily skin this is an essential or if you simply want to avoid greasy make up during the summer, an essential. You will wonder how you ever lived without it!<br />

I am sure most of you have heard of Mac fix+ if not own it - it is described by Mac as an;</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<i>"Aqua-spritz of vitamin and minerals, infused with a calm-the-skin blend of green tea, chamomile, cucumber, topped off with the fresh, natural, energising scent of Sugi. Adds radiance, finished make up. Spray it on. Skin drinks it up!"</i></div>
<div>
<i><br></i></div>
<div>
The spray itself comes in plastic bottle with a pump that can be closed via twisting the pump itself - very handy for travelling! The scent itself is very mild, just a little fruity, quite pleasant and fresh. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
I am usually into the matte make up look and therefore took to staying away from fix+ but with the summer upon us I found my skin needing extra moisturising, especially since I use so many matte products. So I started to spray fix+ before doing my primer, it takes little time to dry before I place my BB cream on and I can not begin to explain how my face felt, it waes fresh, moisturised and hydrated. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Moreover, after applying my matte BB cream my face still felt the same but looked matte - I could not be happier with this product and it's undeniably great results, this way I get the best of both worlds hydrated skin that stays matte all day (of course with use of my other products). </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Furthermore, I have also used the spray on my brushes before applying eye shadow, another great result. My eyeshadow stays on longer and is far more vibrant on the skin. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
For under £15 this product is a must have for all beauty lovers, it's great for every day use and it's packaging is ideal for travel - It managed to survive the plane journey in my suitcase from NY to UK without any damage - shame I can not say the same about a number of make up palettes bought!</div>

<b>So Susan Cosmetics <i>Universal Blush, 4g/ 0.14 oz</i>- RRP £18 </b></div>
This product was a spoiler early in June and every subscriber was promised either this blush or the concealer alternative, both by So Susan. I personally have never heard of the brand until this glossybox but judging my retail price I expect good things from this brand.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The blush itself is enriched with Bunti Fruit Oil, fragrance free and not tested on animals - always a moral plus! It is advertised as a blush that nourishes the epidermis, while refocusing redness and even offers UV protection! Nice summer product to have, to enhance color on the cheeks and protect your skin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Having swatches the blush it has a lot of shimmer so perhaps maybe not something I would wear often and the blush is advertised as having high pigments on the skin? Maybe it's because this shade is light on my skin but I don't agree with that at all, all I see is a high shimmer. I put quite a bit on my hand for you to see below. Furthermore, for an exspensive blush the packaging is very cheap compared to higher ends. </div>

This is essentially a deodorant, it is described by glossybox as being a 24hour protection spray from perspiration that leaves skin subtle with a summery scent. All I can say is it does smell lovely, floral and summery (infused with white lotus and nourishing yi yi ren) but whether it lasts 24hrs is a different questions. Definitely a good product to try during the summer heats! </div>

A nice little surprise, you can never have too many brushes! This particular brush is actually made with natural hair and judging my the soft feel you can tell! It is a nice little travel size product that will for in any make up bag, ideally for eye shadow I can see this brush being added to my every day make up bag. </div>

I am very impressed with the sample size of this nail top coat, the full size is only 5ml bigger than the sample - great! It is described as providing a longer lasting top coat that provides for both the perfect base and nail hardener in one. I can't wait to try this out! </div>

Following the nail varnish this is a tiny sample, but a sample netherless. I was a little disappointed to receive this product that is discribed as a moisturiser for dry skin relief - a problem I don't suffer from personally. Therefore this will be a nice little gift to a friend of mine! </div>

I purchased it the first opportunity I could, this was in wilkinsons. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Now what do I think? I absolutely love this spray, the concept is well needed in the market and the convenience the spray offers is undoubtably the best moisturiser I own. However, whilst I can in fact get dressed straight away after rubbing it in, I do find with my legs in particular that after an hour or so I generally want to moisturise my legs again - this could be because I shave and no matter what products I use I always seem to have dry skin on my legs unless I use a thick moisturiser (which of course means I have to wait for it to dry). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The product comes in a range of three; Essential Moisturiser (the one seen above) Coco radiant and Aloe fresh. All of which smell divine! The moisturiser itself is a white cream formula that does, like it states, dispense evenly when sprayed onto the skin, which can be scarce with other moisturiser dispensers! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Overall, if you are looking for a nice quick body moisturiser then this done what it claims, I would even recommend this for your summer holiday - a nice moisturiser to perhaps use in the evenings after your after sun I would imagine it would be great for that in fact! Unfortunately though for a nice moisturised skin especially my legs I will stick to waiting for the thicker creams to dry. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Follow me;</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Instagram - amybrooker345</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Twitter - @amysjbrooker</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877394397978628104.post-10713657640242260442014-06-08T12:56:00.001-07:002014-08-18T15:39:22.127-07:00Bronze Glow Mosaic<div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2UDfDXjEf0N95hK4HnO5yUQHDsjXLckopCgS2uF7LTUC2yMcN264cEv5l6IGHTUlwtA4vonoDx4k2Ysqo6g05aUdHAT0JYELmm51bxZkjphiPtANp7dO7SFvrWEikLImtMt3F4TF_3bc/s640/blogger-image--1503567332.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2UDfDXjEf0N95hK4HnO5yUQHDsjXLckopCgS2uF7LTUC2yMcN264cEv5l6IGHTUlwtA4vonoDx4k2Ysqo6g05aUdHAT0JYELmm51bxZkjphiPtANp7dO7SFvrWEikLImtMt3F4TF_3bc/s640/blogger-image--1503567332.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Collection Bronze Glow Mosaic Radiant 2, 15g - £2.99</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><br></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I love a good bronzer and at £2.99 this one is irresistible to merely try let alone fall in love with - and let me assure you, if your looking for a pretty summer contour (not heavy) then this super affordable bronzer does not disappoint.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">As you can see from the bottom left picture the bronzer is a shimmery powder formula discreet but noticeable on reflection.

<strong><u></u></strong><strong><u>Scholl Velvet Smooth Night Mask - £7.99 for 60ml</u></strong> <br>
<br>
I have always used the Scholl party feet gel cushions for nights out in heels and whilst I find them comfy and tolerable I still require extra care for my feet afterwards. As a new Glossybox (a UK beauty monthly subscription box) subscriber I received this product with the May Superdrug collaboration box, to begin with I felt disappointed to have received this product but after a couple of days of childish sulking I stopped and gave the mask a second look - here is what it proclaims to do;<br>
<em>'A night-mask that stimulates cell re-growth. Softer feet in 24hrs' </em><br>
<em></em><br>
The cream needs to be applied to clean and dry feet just before bed, the cream then is absorbed whilst you sleep meaning that it does not need to be rinsed in the morning. The main attraction to this product for the summer is that flip flops are very well known to cause hard skin at the bottom of your feet - and who actually wants hard crusty feet?<br>
<br>
Anyhow, I generally stay clear from flip flops as I am not a big fan of hard feet or free toes so I thought I would put the cream to the test after a night out in those gorgeous killer heels - after a night of dancing and standing in every venue it is no wonder us girls suffer from hard achy feet all weekend, I usually just let them soak in the bath for a long period and hope with gentle soap and massaging it will be forgiving. However, I had a new product to try out so why not give it a go?<br>
<br>
So I showered and got ready for bed in preparation, my first thought was that the cream had a very medical but clean smell, nothing to complain about, very neutral in fact like most moisturising creams, I simply massaged a pea amount and to my surprise it was not greasy nor slimy. Moreover, of course the first thing I did when I woke up was rub my feet and to my delight there was no throbbing or achy pain that is usually present prior to one night in heels, instead they felt normal - not really smooth nor obviously moisturised but then again I generally maintain a high level of care for my feet anyway. I repeated the application again that night and the second time round I actually did notice a significant difference to my feet. They were soft and felt like they had been massaged all night. <br>
<br>
Overall I will defiantly be re-purchasing this night mask and for £7.99 it is defiantly worth it! Also, with great results it is defiantly tempting me to go and purchase more flip-flops and heels as the cream will only kiss my feet better at the end of the night. Easy, affordable and convenient.<br>
<br>
<strong>A summer must have!</strong><br>
