Glossybox August 2013

This month's Glossybox has the theme 'High-Flyers' which is filled with products that are perfect for on the go. There are even products included that are from Sweden and Brazil to go along with the theme. Not only that but all the products are under 100ml - so are perfect for taking on board!

Emite Eyelash Curler- approximately £20

All the way from Sweden is this sleek eyelash curlers which are developed with professional makeup artists and claim to have a special curve design to suit all eye shapes without touching your makeup base. They're definitely the best curlers that I have tried and the most expensive, however when I use it, it does touch my eyelid but not as much as other curlers. I love that you don't need to apply much pressure to get perfectly curled lashes and it also comes with three extra rubber pads. For a value of £20 I am really impressed with Glossybox and it just completes the box, however personally if I was to spend £20 on curlers I would definitely get the Shu Uemura Eyelash Curlers.

Eucerin Aquaphor - £8.50

This multi-purpose balm is a cult product in the US and even Beyoncé and Megan Fox are fans of this little tube. It is clinically proven to help support skin's own regeneration process and is perfect for very dry or cracked skin. I'm actually really curious to try this on my feet and heels to see if it will give me baby soft feet!

TRESemmé Platinum Strength Concentrated Treatment Shot - £1.49

I love using treatments in my hair and this treatment shot really grabbed my attention. You just leave it in for 60 seconds and rinse out and should transform your frizzy damaged hair into beach goddess hair. This is perfect for using in the shower for a quick pick me up on those rough hair days!

Óceane Makeup Remover Pen - not yet available in the UK

This makeup remover pen from Brazil is not yet available in the UK, which is a shame because it is a genius invention! You can throw this into your bag and you'll always have perfect makeup. It's perfect for touching up your makeup and removing smudged mascara or lipstick on-the-go. It's even good for cleaning up those raccoon eyes from the leftover mascara that has smudged overnight.

 Jelly Pong Pong 2-in-1 Shadow/Liner - £10

This creamy crayon is the perfect multi-tasker for travelling that can be used as an eyeliner or smudged and blended out as an eyeshadow. I received the Plum shade which is really pretty and I would definitely wear it as eyeliner for a subtle pop of colour and a less harsh alternative to black.

Glossybox March 2013

Hey everyone! My March Glossybox arrived today and I thought I would share what I got with you all.

This months Glossybox theme was City Chic and it came with the usual list of all the products and an extra travelling book with a list of top bars, hotels etc in different countries and there's also a page full of cute stickers.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant Fragrance Free - £25 for 50ml

The first product was the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream which is an intensive moisturiser that soothes and protects the skin. It's said that a little goes a long way so hopefully this little sample lasts me for a while! This product has multiple uses such as shaping brows, soothing dry hands and chapped lips, smooth cuticles and nails, revitalise shine and refresh jet lagged skin. This 7ml sample has a value of £3.50.

Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush - £12 for 2.5g

This is a lip stain and moisturiser in one which is pretty similar to Clinique Chubby Stick and Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Stain and have almost identical packaging. It is also cruelty free and this sample is a fullsized product worth £12.

TRESemmé Salon Finish Extra Hold Hairspray - £4.69 for 500ml

This is an extra hold hair spray that is fast drying and flexible which can be brushed out with ease. I don't usually use hair sprays in my hair but I should start experimenting and trying new products and styles, so I'm looking forward to trying out this product. This sample is 100ml and has a value of £0.94

Nails Inc St. James - £11 for 10ml

This is a mini sized Nail Inc nail polish in the colour St. James which is a classic pillar box red and will add instant glamour to any outfit! I'm really excited to try out this colour and I love the formula of Nails Inc polishes. This sample is worth £4.40 for 4ml.

Juicy Couture - Couture La La - £63 for 100ml

I must admit I honestly hate receiving perfume samples because they are so small and I can get them free by asking at a department store. It is said that Couture La La blends bright sparkling mandarin with bold white florals for a fragrance experience that captures the essence of femininity and the daring allure of the unexpected. I'm surprised I actually like this perfume because all the Juicy Couture perfumes I've smelt I have never liked despite the amazing bottles. Also so far I've never liked any of the perfume samples I've had in my Glossybox because they all have a very mature scent but I know I'm definitely going to be using this sample up. This sample is worth 0.95£ for 1.5ml.
