September GlossyBox

Hello again my sweets :)

I know this is a bit late because I have had this box for ages now but I didn't want to leave the September box out so better late then never I guess :P

This month GlossyBox are celebrating London :) I just love the Union Jack this month and think these boxes are just great for keeping and reusing as they are really good quality and super cute!!

My internet is playing up so couldn't include all the photos I wanted but hopefully you get the idea.



This month there was a GB Mag in included as well as the description sheet of all the product that are include :) Its only small but includes some of the GlossyBox favourite items and this Autumns trends.

Toni&Guy Classic Shine Serum: This is the full size bottle and its limited edition. Its a high shine and gloss serum that also controls frizz! You use 1-2 pumps and apply to the ends of the hair :) I don't look after my hair every much so products like this make me think more about my hair care. My mum always has super shiny and lovely hair and I have always been so jealous!! She uses something along the same lines as this, so I'm excited to see if it makes my hair look as nice :) - Full size £7.19  

Rimmel Stay Blushed: I have always been rubbish at applying cream blushes so I was a bit worried I would be the same with this one! Its a blusher but in a tube, a small amount goes a long way so be careful when using! Its really light and meant to last 24 hours. Its a great colour for Autumn so think it will get a lot of use :) - Full size £4.49

Elizabeth Arden Untold: I haven't tried any of these fragrances before! The tiny bottle is really lovely and its a good size for a tester :) it has a lovely floral note to it which I love so this really is perfect for me. Its quite an expensive perfume so its really nice to be able to try it out :) 
- 50ml £48 and 100ml £69

Be a Bombshell Onyx Eye Liner: This is a felt tip liner and in the past I have found that most felt tips transfers on to the top of my lid which is really annoying! Hopefully this one will stay and wont keep transferring! Its really easier to create a thin or thick line with this pen by the way its shaped and says it dries within seconds!! I have to say I think a different product might have been a bit more beneficial as I received an eye liner in a box before! - Full size $14

Eylure Pre Glued Lashes: I have never owned a good pair of lashes before so it was nice to see these in my box! I don't wear them a lot but in the past I have only bought Primark ones which aren't the best :/ these are already glued so means less fuss however I'm not sure how long the glue will stay sticky! As I'm back to uni I am sure these will make an appearance soon. - One pack £5.06

Overall GlossyBox has been good again, I wouldn't say this has been my favourite box as I haven't fallen in love strange away with anything but its still nice to try everyone out :) 

What did you get in your box? And is GlossyBox something you would like to get?

Benefits Skincare Testers

Hello again my sweets :)

When it comes to skin care, I don't have a clue what I need or which products are good! Since joining the beauty blogging world I have been reading as many skincare posts as I can to see what products people love and what I need in my morning and night time routine :) 

I have read a lot about the Benefit eye cream and really wanted to try it, however when I went to my local stand I saw they were doing a range of tester size skin care products! This was perfect for me as I could try 6 different things and see what I liked! I also gave me instruction on how to use them and when I needed each product :) this pack cost £12 and I have to admit I haven't seen it since I bought it so not sure if it was a one off or just hard to find!


On the back of the box it tell you what each product does and how to use them, as I would class myself as a beginner I thought this was perfect and meant I could test them out the way they are meant to be used! It also gave me a clear idea of what was important and what I need to add to my small routine I have now.



I loved that they came in a small plastic make-up bag as it means they are prefect to take away on holiday or when I stay over at someone's house! I have all the products I need in the prefect size :) the size of the bottles couldn't be better, great to put in your bag and also big enough to get enough uses out of them I feel like I have properly tested them out :) Benefit as a brand I adore,  I think their packaging is the best and really stands out from all the others! When I saw the full size of the skin care I loved them, they have the cork tops and the vintage look about them! I'm a sucker for things that look good, if it has a pretty bottle I must have it :P and the tester range also look so cute and in my bathroom I love how they look as a collection.


I was really excited about the face and eye cream as I had read so many rave reviews! I have to admit before this I had never owned an eye cream! However after using it I would never go back to not having an eye cream! This combination is great and makes my face feel so soft and look so much more radiant :) the other four products were also great to try out, took me a while to work out what they were all used for and in which order you use them but when I cracked it I really loved the range! I feel that all these products have done wonder to my skin and I would love to purchase them all as full size but I can't put my bank balance through that right now! In the future I would look into buying them one at a time and build them up slowly :)


Overall I was really impressed and would recommend people testing out this small pack :) I think the eye cream would be my first buy and hopefully the rest will follow :P

Have you tried Benefits skin care? Which was your favourite?

First Ever GlossyBox


Hello again :)

So for my birthday my parents bought me the 6 month Glossy Box subscription, I'm was so excited to open the first box and see what I had received. I couldn't think of a much better present because now till Christmas I have a little present very month with I just love and think is the best gift :) 


As this was my first box I wasn't sure what to expect, but I have to say I was very surprised with how nice all the packaging was. The box you see above comes in a bigger box with your address on it and that in itself is lovely, never mind to find this goody inside :)  


  So in my box I received 5 different items and at a first glance at them all I was so excited to find more out and try them :)

Organic Surge - Daily Moisturiser: I was very excited about this because I love moisturisers, and this is a super-intensive daily one for dry skin. I have to say my skin is more combination to normal so I have been using this as a night cream as I don't have one. So far I really like it and I have used it very night. It absorbs really fast so definitely could be used as a day cream and it's so thick and creamy it's lovely to apply. An added bonus is it's organic which is always nice to know as your applying it to your skin. Full size £8.99

Figs and Rouge - Cherry Blossom Lip Balm: I love lip products at the moment so this was warmly welcomed. Mine is the Cherry Blossom, but you could also get the Coco-rose which sounds just as lovely :) I find I have dry and chapped lips so lip balms always come in handy. This smells lovely and the texture is thick and easy to apply. It stays on your lips to leave a shine but you can also feel it absorbing in. This product is also 100% natural and they say you can use it as a moisturisers for elbows and knees, so its multi-functional. Full size £5

Nails Inc - St James nail polish: I have to admit I don't own any Nail Inc polishes, so I really I'm trying everything new which I do adore :) the St James colour is a true post box red. To achieve the real colour you have to apply two coats. It's a really nice red and perfect for the summer. I think it would look better on more tanned skin them my pasty white skin but I still like it. Full size £11
  
Paul Mitchell Curl- Hair treatments: I haven't tried these yet because I'm going to save them for a day I'll wear my hair natural. I natural have really curly hair, it's normally very frizzy and dry which I hate. They one think I'm trying to look after now is my hair. I can't wait to try the leave in treatment to see if I can see a different in dryness and also the ultimate wave to see if it does tame my hair and make my curls nicer. Full size of Leave in £14.95 and Ultimate Wave £11.95

Helen E Cosmetics - Lip Liner: I don't have many lip liners because I normally just apply my lipstick straight on even though I know it looks better is lip liner is put on first. This is the one product I might have to warm to, the colour is nice so I'm going to test it out and see how it goes. This lip liner is waterproof which would be perfect for holidays as it claims to last longer and stop lip stick from smudging. Full size £8

So overall I'm very pleased and can't wait for next months already and to keep trying them and see if I will buy any of them again :)

Do you have a subscription box? Which product would you be most excitable for?

Hope you've enjoyed reading and speak soon 
Bye :)
