October Glossybox 2014

I 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. 

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. 



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. I understand the concept and of course being a keen go green individual its a brilliant idea, however the beauty of this box is the surprise element, I for one quite enjoy the excitement of not knowing until I have the products in my hand!


NUXE CRÈME FRAÎCHE® DE BEAUTÉ MASK - Full Size £19.50 - 50ml

This is a 24hour moisturising mask which is said to hydrate and soothe the skin, leaving skin radiant, relaxed and minimal redness.
This mask was a spoiler in last months box - a nice smelling product and at full size it is defiantly a clincher with this box! 
I look forward to trying it out, a little bonus with this product is that GLOSSYBOX has provided a 15% code off at uk.nuxe.com with GLOSSY15. 

ÊTRE BELLE COSMETICS LIPLIFT PEEL - Full Size €12.95, 15ml

Possibly my favourite product of this months box; a lip scrub that once massaged into the lips and left to absorb for a minute leaves your lips soft, refined and free from dead skin. A beautifully formulated scrub that I have already fell in love with after one use. 
Defiantly a beauty must!

SO SUSAN COSMETICS FLUTTER MASCARA - Full Size £14.95, 4ml 
Slightly more pricey then your usual drugstore mascara however, not as expensive as high end. First of let me comment on the packaging, I love the shiny gold effect (not for camera purposes however), this So Susan mascara is said to create an ultra dark curled lashes after two applications. 

CIATÉ LONDON PAINT POT - Full Size £9, 13.5ml


The best trait of Ciate nail varnish is the value for money it brings; at almost 14ml for less than £10 this varnish is a steal. Although, perhaps more importantly the formula is undoubtably amazing, after one coat the colour is opaque, with a beautiful shine to the nails. Furthermore, the resistence of the varnish is also impressive, giving days of non-chipped nails. 


YVES ROCHER FRANCE QUELQUES NOTES D’AMOUR - Full Size £33, 30ml 


This is one of the most adorable mini samples I have ever received; the little perfume bottle is adorable. The smell on the other hand is deluxe - fresh, classy and highly addictive. On an even better note, the sample comes with a discount code;-

RIMMEL LONDON BB CREAM MATTE - Full Size £6.99, 30ml

As you can see from the image above a small sample came of this BB Cream. A cream I actually happen to love very much. For a much more detailed review please go and read my previous post. 

Overall this month was a great box, a lot better than usual, in my opinion. I am not sure too convinced with the revealed product card prior to recieving the box itself however, I would never fault a go green idea.

Cadbury Dairy Milk Chips Ahoy!


Hello Beautiful! 

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. 

More specifically the beauty of the NEW Cadbury Dairy Milk, Chips Ahoy! A combination of the nations favourite standard dairy milk with cookie mixed in. 

From the picture you can see the delicious cookie in the centre with the standard dairy milk coat topping.

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. 

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. 

You can thank me later ladies, for now go and get your guilty pleasure today.
