Glossybox December 2015


Hey again everyone, hope you all had a good Christmas and new year! :)
Sorry it's being posted near enough a month late but I wanted to post this blog tonight being as I think my January box will arrive in the morning, which I'm also excited for!

So as you all know (or should know) by now the last box of 2015 was the Rose Gold  Edit in collaboration with Really Ree, I think if I remember rightly that it's based on products she's loving if it's not I'm 100% one of the products is what she uses herself and loves? Everyone also received 6 products in their glossybox :)
Brillant rose gold box last month, another cute box to add to the edition!   Here's pictures/swatches and all the information on the products I have for you, would be amazing to see what you got in your box last month!

                                                                    SO SUSAN STATEMENT SKIN
                                                                    HIGHLIGHTER PENCIL £15

Everyone got a so susan highlighter pencil last month, and mine did come through damaged, but after speaking to Glossybox themselves they had amazing customer service and quickly sent me a replacement and as a sorry an I love... lip gloss!
- I am in love with this highlighter, it's the perfect shade for pale people like myself, and it blends easily, not gonna lie it does contain a lot of shimmer, but it makes your skin look more awake and glowing! If you fancy strobing this is also perfect for you :D
It's full size and retails for £15
You can find it on http://sosusan.com/en/

                                                        KIKO EXTRA SCULPT MASCARA £8.90


Last month some people received either a nail polish OR this mascara from an amazing company called KIKO! I was super excited when I opened my box to realise I had this, I'd wanted it for so long, the bristles are wider on the ends and slimmer in the middle which helps hold onto your lashes!
I've not properly tested this out yet but from what I can see as a quick test it's an amazing product, the packaging is different but it's nice. You get 11ml of product which I guess is the standard for any full size mascara I think ^.^ So glad that they have opened a store in Birmingham so I can purchase more!

They currently have a 50% off sale online AND in-store, and free standard shipping on all orders!

                                   ETRE BELLE - GOLDEN SKIN CAVIAR EYE ROLL ON 

This is the second Etre Belle product I have actually got in a glossybox, so I am super excited to start using this every day. The full size is actually £30.66 - so I'm hoping this stuff is good for someone to spend £30.66 on a full sized product.. After reading the information card you all get in each glossybox telling you about the products, It claims that it hydrates your skin, the cooling gel will leave the most tired of eyes looking refreshed and radiant. I think this will also be great for me in the hayfever season to help cool under my eyes and make them feel a lot fresher!

Essence Liquid Lipstick - SHOW OFF £2.50
I'm not sure about outside the UK, but Essence is a make-up brand found in Wilkinsons or online on their website. I only started seeing these products about a year or so ago, they're so cheap and yet I've heard so many good things about their products! This is their liquid lipstick in the shade show off, they are £2.50 and most of their products are pretty affordable for people on a budget!
The whole point of a liquid lipstick is that it gives you the coverage of a lipstick with the shine of a gloss, the doe-foot applicator is perfect for lining my lips - the formulation is brilliant and I feel like this shade would suit everyone! I will link their website below <3

                                                           PHILOSOPHY PURITY MADE SIMPLE
                                                                          3-IN-1 CLEANSER 
I've heard of this brand before, and I'm not 100% if I have got this in a box before, but it's always nice trying something new, it's their 3 in one cleanser, it's a sample size but 30ml is a good amount still.
It's an award winning facial cleanser, it deep cleans the pores removing all traces of makeup, dirt and oil, while toning and hydrating your skin at the same time. It's also super gentle, so if you have sensitive skin like myself you can also use it without problems, Quickly wash off your makeup by massaging a small amount into damp skin and work in for 30-60 seconds before rinsing!
I usually use a micellar water to remove as much make-up as I can, and THEN go onto washing my face properly, so this will be a different routine to try! :D
You can find the products on www.boots.com the full size is £18
_________________________________________________________________________________
Star Skin BIO-CELLULOSE SECOND SKIN MASK £8.50
So the 6th product everyone got last month was a star skin bio-cellulose second skin mask, there was four different ones so everyones one varies. I have never heard of this brand up until now, like every woman I love a good skin care routine, always good to look after your skin after all!
Each of the four masks they picked is soaked in 30ml of vitamin-packed serum, the equivalent to a full bottle which is amazing! It says to cleanse your face and towel dry, and that this should be applied to dry skin leave on for 20-25 minutes - gently pat the remaining serum into the skin until fully absorbed. No need to rinse face! If there's any left over serum it can be used on the neck area.
This seems so promising and I cannot wait to try it out <3
you can purchase them at www.selfridges.com 



I am sorry once again that this is up a bit late, but I'm hoping january's glossybox arrives in the morning so I can do an un-boxing straight away for you  lovely people!
I loved last month's box, if you'd like to follow me on any social media it's on my blog.
Thank you for reading and I am working on getting more content out for you guys <3
Lots of love, Sarah!

Glossybox June 2015

June's Festival edit Glossybox.
Hey everyone,

As I won't be purchasing July's box, this will be June's instead.




I will list below weather they are full or sample size, prices, and where you can purchase the products.

GLOSSYBOX FLASH TATTOOS - 
This is a full size sheet, and the price is £6.50
This was my least favourite product as I have real tattoos and I'd just never use these.

MONU Spa - ROSEWOOD REVIVING MIST
So although this product isn't full size, 50 ML is actually a decent amount especially when you don't need to use a massive amount. 
The scents for this are Lemon, Rosewood,Sandalwood,Petitgrain and Geranium!
It's also claims to be for ALL skin types and that you can use it to set your make-up.

It says clearly on the back of the bottle that the company does  NOT test on animals,
which I know a lot of people prefer about products these days, 
The main ingredient is Aqua ( water ) and does not contain any alcohol.
From reading the bottle this product doesn't seem to contain any dangerous chemicals or any form of acids. After the main ingredient which is water, the rest are different types of oils.

For the full size it retails at £11.95 VIA their website
www.monushop.co.uk


HALO - FRAGRANCE FREE FACIAL WIPES

This product is only travel size, which you get 10 wipes in the packet and costs £1.20
• Cleanse and refresh
• Especially suitable for sensitive skin
• Dermatologically approved
They are available at Tesco.


Kueshi - ANTICELLULITE BOOSTER

This anti-cellulite booster is infact full size,
it's 150ml / 5.07 fl.oz.          
Paraben free and doesn't test on animals, - Bonus!
It's a light weight cream and claims to help stimulate the blood circulation!
You can purchase these on www.kueshi.com

ESSENCE - The Gel Nail Polish
This gorgeous gel nail polish is actually full size.
It retails at £1.71 which you can purchase in wilkinsons ( if you're in the UK )
OR on their website which is www.essence.eu/uk
The size of the bottle is 0.27 fl.oz/8ml - I got mine in the shade 11 - 4 ever young

So that's what I had in my June box, 
I hope that I covered everything for you, if  I haven't please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have.
