March GlossyBox First Impressions

Hi ladies, it's another month, which means it's another Glossybox! My box was actually meant to be delivered last Tuesday, but I was at work and Mother was cooking in the kitchen with the doors closed so as not to set off the fire alarm and didn't hear the doorbell! Today has been the earliest chance that I have had to go and pick it up! I've been waiting eagerly for a whole week, spying on Instagram at the boxes others have received and wondering which goodies I have waiting for me!

My Glossybox arrived in its usual package and in the new style 'glossy box.'

I received a Glossybox magazine and a product information card. I also received a card to remind me that this was my last box as my subscription had run out. 

Here are the products I received this month.

Luckily I'm going to receive my next box free because I've earned enough Glossy points through reviewing the products I've received in my boxes. :)

What did you get in your Glossybox? 

Which product would you be excited to receive?

Glamour Beauty Box

Hi ladies :)

I wanted to tell you about the latest beauty box that I've purchased. 

The Glamour Beauty Box is a box similar to the subscription boxes such as Glossybox, however there are 7 products (instead of 5) and you do not need to sign up for a monthly subscription, instead you know which products are inside and can make the decision to purchase it based on that. The box costs £14.95, including p&p but has products that retail over £45! Glamour does a range of these boxes, so you can choose the type you want. 

This is the second Beauty Box I have purchased. The first one was a couple of months ago and I was pleased with the products in that box. My previous box had gold detailing and currently stores my old diaries!

This month there is a special offer, where you can grab yourself a free Stila Lip Glaze with your box to celebrate Mothers Day. 

The box provides an information card about all the products and some voucher codes to get money off some of the brands included (Similar to Glossybox). The packaging is also very similar to Glossybox. 

Invisibobble: This is a new type of hair bobble which claims to leave your hair kink-free. The product reminds me of a slinky and that makes me think of tangled slinkies and that makes me horrified at the thought of getting my hair stuck in it! However, I have tried the hair bobble and even twisted it around to secure my hair like a regular hair band and it does do it's job in keeping my hair up. Although I can't say it is definitely kink-free as my hair is naturally curly and I couldn't tell. It's a nice idea, although I can't really see people making the switch from normal hair ties to these as they are quite garish!

Percy & Reed Abundantly Bouncy Volumising Mousse: I'm always put off when there's hair styling products in these types of boxes, as I know I can't get use out of it, however my little sister is never reluctant to take them off my hands! I do love the cuteness of the packaging though!

Rituals Zensation Organic Rice Milk & Cherry Blossom Foaming Shower Gel Sensation: This foaming shower gel is a great product for a quick wash. It has a gorgeous scent and leaves the skin feeling soft and moisturised. It's a perfect size for travelling too. Cheeky chat me up nail paint (colour- tongue n cheek): This is a new nail polish brand and the colour I received was a coral/red colour. I've tried the polish on and it's great colour for summer. The polish has quite a fat brush which is perfect for quick application although I'm not keen on the packaging as it looks cheap. Burt’s Bees Lip Balm: This lip balm is perfect for keeping your lips moisturised and protected from the ever changing British weather! I've got one of these in my makeup vanity as I always use it before applying my makeup to prep my lips for lipstick and definitely recommend it. I guess this one is going in my makeup bag for on the go!Daniel Sandler Long Lasting Waterproof Eyeliner in Aqua Velvet: When I swatched this eyeliner on my hand it was clear to see it was a creamy formula in a bright blue colour which is perfect for the Summer season approaching us. It'll be great for the waterline as it's waterproof but could also be used to create a statement cat eyeliner look. I can't wait to try it out! L’Oreal Paris Mega Volume Miss Manga Mascara: The main reason I purchased this box was because I wanted to try this mascara. I've heard great reviews on it and wanted to see what all the fuss was about!! The mascara retails in Superdrug for £7.99 by itself. I tried this mascara this morning and loved the result. It thickens, elongates and separates the lashes all at the same time! Definitely one of my favourite mascaras at the moment. :) Stila Lip Glaze (colour- kaleidoscope): This lip gloss will be great for turning a matte lipstick into a glossy finish. It has tiny gold glitters in which will help create a shine for those Summer days. 

Overall I love the products in this box and am glad I purchased it. To purchase your own box, visit the Glamour website.

Bye lovelies, until next time. Stay happy, healthy and appreciative of life :) xxx 

The BodyShop All-In-One BB Cream Review

Body Shop were having 40% off all their products so I jumped at the opportunity at trying out some of their makeup, but only found myself picking up their new BB Cream as none of the other products interested me. The product retails at £12 (I paid £7.20) and I picked up the darkest shade available. 

The product comes out in a white watery liquid with little grains (almost like an exfoliating face wash) these beads are actually the colour pigments that burst when rubbed into the skin. 

Once rubbed in, the colour starts to appear. 

The color then adapts to your skin tone, 

Body Shop make the following claims: 

• Adapts to your skin tone 
• Light to medium coverage
• Even finish
• 24-hour hydration
• Non-clogging 

I feel that the product is true to its claims. It's a new innovative product and does what it says on the tin (or should I say tube!) However I feel that it doesn't provide very much coverage, so for me it wouldn't be used in my everyday makeup routine, but maybe when I'm in a rush or off to the gym and want a light coverage to hide blemishes. The BB Cream comes in 4 colours, so may not be suitable for all skin tones. I look forward to trying different BodyShop products in the future. 

Bye lovelies, until next time. Stay happy, healthy and appreciative of life :) xxx
