GlossyBox: July 2016

This months Glossybox is full of pretty little bits, all full sized, so i couldn't wait to show you. Let's get started :)




First up, the Utan and tone nourishing night Creme which is basically a gradual tan for your face and neck that you apply at night. It also has lots of good stuff-hyaluronic acid, vitamins and anti-oxidants-in your skin so that you can narrow it down to just one product. I'm not sure on the 'full size' idea because it only has 25ml which seems pretty small, but i'll let you know how i get on. 
Price // £12.50
Shop // utanandtone.com


Next, some anti-perspirant which i couldn't exactly say i was super excited for when i first saw it. However, this is from Soft and Gentle and is called the Hair Minimise which claims to reduce hair growth, seems pretty interesting. It doesn't smell omg delicious, but it doesn't smell bad, if you get what i mean. One thing i can say is that i love how pink the can is, pretty!
Price // £2.99 
Mascara is one of my staple products, so when i saw the Icona Milano emotion allowed mascara, I was excited to see what it was like. The packaging is pretty simple, black and white with just a little pattern and the brush doesn't seem to be any to much either with a synthetic brush. It is waterproof which can either mean it will not come off, ever, or it stays put all day despite rain and tears, we'll see what it is like!
Price // £13.04
Shop // www.iconamilano.nl > this isn't the same as the link on the Glossybox card, that didn't work, but i hope this one does!



I have a tangle teaser and honestly, it's the best hair brush i have ever used. It doesn't leave my hair feeling all dry which is essential seeing as my hair is thick and curly. However, they are quite expensive, but this one, which is the Hairon de-tangle brush looks like a pretty good alternative. It is a really pretty colour and i can't wait to see if it is as good as my tangle teaser!
Price // £6.99
Shop // www.hairon.co.uk


Finally, the Blank canvas F20 flat brush. Brushes are one of my favourite things to recieve, this one is super pretty and pink, what more could you ask for from a brush? It is really soft and is apparantly great for liquid foundation, but i feel like it is not dense enough, i'll keep you updated!
Price // £11.95





And that was everything for this month, what did you think? Did you get Glossybox this month? Let me know :)
See ya!

GlossyBox: June 2016

Back to doing the usual what's in my Glossybox type of post, finally. Hope you enjoy :)




 Sorry, but the box was packed full of lovely things this month which i found difficult to picture without it looking messy, haha!


The first product is the Spa to you, Konjac sponge which didn't, along with everything else, photograph to well. It's apparantly the new trend from Japan and Korea and is made from the natural fibres of the Konjac and is known for it's ability to hold water. It will clean your skin without requiring added product, but you can add your favourite cleanser if you'd like to! With no added colour or chemicals, it is perfect for sensitive skin, so it seems, super excited to give this a go and i'll keep you updated on what i think!
Shop at spatoyou.com
Price £6.99


Next up, the Origins GinZing energy-boosting moisturizer which, let's start off by saying, smells so so good-basically like Terry's chocolate orange. On to the actual product itself, i am excited to give this a go as i have been looking for a new moisturizer and this sounds perfect as it is lightweight and oil free. As it is also energy-boosting, i can imagine this would be nice in the mornings to wake you up when feeling a little tired. 
Price £24



Third product: De Bruyere After sun lotion Monoi. This also smell lovely and may come in handy for the Summer months *says this whilst it is basically constantly raining in the UK*. I'd love to review this, but i'm not sure it will come in handy at the moment. Apparently the Monoi and Vitamin E will hydrate and nourish the skin, sounds like this will do the job. Oh, and it's paraben and silicone free.
Shop at debruyere.fr
Price £9.48


Fourth product: Sun Protection Spray SPF 15. Although the SPF isn't high, this offers protection against four types of UV rays, is non greasy, water resistant, perfume free and suitable for sensitive and eczema-prone skin and skin types prone to prickly heat and sun allergies. This sounds really good as i usually get prickly heat all over my chest and it is so painful! Can't wait to give this a try when i'm in the sun.
Shop at boots.com
Price £19.99






Last, but not least, my favourite item form this month's box: Emite Make Up lip and cheek tint. This is a two in one red lip and cheek tint that looks comparable to Benetint. I'm not the biggest fan of tints or stains as i feel like they can go very patchy very easily, but it is always nice to give things a go. It washes off fairly easily, but it isn't stating that it won't, so i can't hold that against it. The pacaging is pretty, it is like a ombre with the frosted black detail. Only problem is, black makes everything look dusty, like all the time. But still, good first impressions, i'll keep you updated.

Price £12.50


Bonus Product! Aussie 5 minute miracle reconstructor deep conditioner. This is for damaged hair which is my hair type in nutshell. I don't even use too much heat on my hair, but still it goes fluffy and dry-especially seeing as it's curly. Such an essential to have a the moment, thanks GlossyBox! p.s just lost the card, have no idea of the price and location of where to buy this, sorry! 

That's all for this month! I hope you enjoyed seeing all of the bits and bobs, did you get GlossyBox this month? If so, what did you get? and, what did you think? :)

See ya!

GlossyBox: March 2016

GlossyBox arrived! And, seriously, i couldn't be more excited to show you :)




First, this product has been one i have been meaning to buy for the longest time. It's the (super pretty) collection Speedy Highlighter in the Shade number 1: Pearl sheen. After swatching i can already tell that it is really creamy and adds the most gorgeous glow, i'm super excited to give this a go! The only bad thing about this is that you don't really get a lot of product which kind of reflects the price.
Full sized product
Price: £3.99
Just a little note, if you are looking to buy this, it is currently £2.99 on Superdrug.com.





The Hey Honey good morning facial serum looks so nice and i am honestly looking forward to adding this to my routine. It says it is for all skin types, can be applied at night, in the day time and under makeup, and claims it will provide a smooth and glossy appearance to your skin. If you haven't had a little clue by the name of the product, it contains honey which sounds real nice as i know a lot of face masks made with honey and they are really good for your skin.
Use the code HoneyUK for 10%, your welcome :)
Travel sized product
Price: £28.81
Shop at: www.heyhoney.com




Next is the prettiest pink brush with rose gold metal brush and fluffy, soft bristles-this brush is from Luxie beauty. Not much more to be said apart from that although this one's beautiful, it feels a little flimsy and not too dense. This exact brush is the Rose Gold large (not all too large to be honest) angled face brush.
Full sized product
Price: £10.41
Shop at: www.luxiebeauty.com




To be honest, i'm not so happy about this one it's the tiniest 7ml sample of the Olay Regenerist luminous skin tone perfecting cream which i never seem to use anything like this because it is so small and by the time  go round to using it, I've lost it. It does sound good though as it claims to hydrate, exfoliate and smooth the skin to give you a healthy, glowing complexion. You can use this both morning and evening.
Travel sized product
Price: £29.99
Shop at: www.olay.co.uk




Finally, another little travel sized product, but this one is a little more generous. This is the minus 417 conditioner and shampoo. They have the most gergeous, yet a little tacky (not going to lie), packaging with gold for the shampoo and silver for the conditioner. With 40ml each, they are perfect for travel, but also a perfect sample to use one-or possibly two-times to decide whether you love it or loathe it!
Travel sized product
Price: £16.89 woah

That was all for this month, already getting excited for next month, especially looking at the sneak peak. Let me know if you got GlossyBox this month and what you think.

What's your favourite this month?

See ya!

GlossyBox: February 2016

Happy Valentines day!
My GlossyBox was my Valentine this year, so I thought sharing what I got this Sunday was a perfect fit!:)



As this is the February box, the theme was 'Love is in the air' which is quite possibly the cutest box ever.




Even the little leaflet was super cute, but let's get into the actual products:



First, the MUA Power Pout Glaze in the shade: Rupture. This is a super wearable shade which is almost like a warm, orange nude shade, but not like a tangerine, more peachy. The brush kind of takes getting used to, but once you've used it once or twice, it's easy peasy. I'm still not sure on the twist up aspect as you can't really tell how much is really coming out and you either end up with too much or too little.
Full Size product: £3.50
Shop at: muastore.co.uk
You have six shades to choose from.



I saw these and instantly fell in love, I know they're only tweezers, but they are super cute! To be honest, I don't really use tweezers as I get my brows threaded, but whenever I need them they disappear, honestly! This is why these Browtician love skull limited edition tweezers are perfect because they are in a little box, both perfect for your handbag and won't get lost in the drawer (as they won't be small enough to fall to the bottom). Super cute!
Full size product: £7.99
Shop at: superdrug.com
I couldn't find these exact ones, but I have linked to the whole range of browtician tweezers. 




Next, the Nikka K 24h waterproof eyeliner with a smudgy on the end. I'm not going to lie, I really don't like the smudger, it is way too stiff and more takes the product off rather than making it smokey. The eyeliner itself, however, is really pigmented and I really like the way it is in the shade 'Dark brown' so isn't as harsh as black, more suitable for everyday wear. The packaging is really sleek and is a twist up, so no having to deal with sharpening, thank goodness. Ok, I have just realized that there is a sharpener built in if you pull out the smudger, it's to keep the product thin and not stubby at the end.

Naobay has been a favourite return brand of GlossyBox, but I'm still yet to fall in love with their products. This is a protective hair mask 'Volume conditioner' which I am definitely going to be trying out as lately I have been using a lot of heat on my hair, therefore it is extremely damaged right now. It says that the natural ingredients in this product will leave the hair soft, silky and easy to manage, seeing as my hair is none of those things, I am excited to give this a go. I'll get back to you on if i love it or hate it.
Luxury full size: £10.60

Last, but not least, is the Wilkinson Sword Hydrosilk razor, which I remember getting last year, anyone else? They know that we all want smooth legs for this month, well that's what I am getting seeing as I am sure that it was in the Feb box last year. Seeing as I have tried this before, I can say that it is really nice and leaves your legs really smooth, that's before moisturizer. After a couple of uses though, you don't realize, but the little soapy, silky bits come out and you end up ripping apart your legs, ouch...ew.

That's all for this month! Hope you enjoyed and I can't wait for the next, can you?

See ya!

P.s I am not sure why, but I love this picture too much not to share it in here somewhere, it was just the most perfect, bright day outside, for once!
