parcel from Britt

My friend in Canada sent me a parcel!!

Hey everyone, I'm sorry that I've not been posting a lot lately..

I haven't been feeling myself, but I am trying my best to get content up when I can!

I hope you've all had an amazing Christmas, and hope you have a great start to 2016 <3

- So as you all know I have PCOS, I'm part of a few groups on facebook for women to talk to each other openly and freely without being judged by others, the one day I posted asking if anyone would like to be my pen pal, and the only person that has bothered, and even still stayed in contact now is my beautiful amazing friend Britt!

After writing many letters, I thought it would be nice for her if I put together a package of makeup/sweets/skin care etc from the UK, and it was something she was super excited for, she couldn't wait to open it! But around the same time Britt told me she was also putting one together for me, and now I finally have it and I love EVERYTHING she has sent me!

It's so amazing how alike we are even though she's in Canada and I'm in the UK!

One day it will be amazing to get together as she's such an amazing person <3

- I will post the pictures of my amazing things below <3

I have never tried many sweets that aren't from the uk so I was excited to see she sent me these!

* Tootsie Roll

Cadburys Crispy Crunch

Nestle Coffee Crisp 

Hello Kitty Twirl Pops

Peppermint Almonds

Two Canadian leaf lollipops&two little ones

Angela's candy land chocolate factory chocolate covered fruits,

and banana shaped & flavoured sweets!

Although the hello kitty lolly is too cute to eat <3 

Hello kitty is mine and Britt's favourite!

    In the uk we have Betty Crocker things, but not a wide selection....

  I never even knew that DUNKAROOS  were a thing, but my GOD they are SO amazing!

And as you can see in the picture one side is vanilla biscuits and the little pot on the side is the frosting. Britt sent me a pack of the vanilla frosting & rainbow sprinkles, and the chocolate frosting.

I can't believe that these aren't sold in the UK <3

    In a few certain american candy stores we have jolly rancher, but not many nor have I ever seen these! I have had most of these now with my boyfriend and I can't believe how unusual but nice they are...

I had two bags of the Juicy Burst Explosion Watermelon, green apple and cherry liquid filled centers

Two boxes of original and tropical flavoured chews

And three packs of hard boiled sweets original, wild berry and passion fruit flavours.

They are very unusual tastes but they are amazing and the chews were amazing!

    These are also amazing, Britt knows me so well!

    Two body lotions, three nail varnishes from sally hanson, sinful colours and nyx.

    Two lip balms from the body shop (which smell beautiful)

    A MK watch, gorgeous eyelashes, eyelash glue and an adorable little notepad!

    I have used the nail varnishes so far and they are amazing, I can't wait to get more NYX nail        varnishes now that they are sold in the uk now :D can't wait to use everything else too..

The last things I got was a beautifully wrapped scarf, and a gorgeous necklace which comes in a cute little blue bag <3 

- I am SO lucky to have such a kind friend, I am thankful for her every single day and I hope one day we'll be able to meet, thank you again Britt you're amazing!

<3 <3 <3 <3 

Glossybox November 2015

Glossybox November - Lipstick To Lashes!

Hey everyone as promised I'm finally getting round to posting about this months Glossy box,
Which by the way is AMAZING, before I start please feel free to comment or contact me on Instagram with your favourite product(s) this month!

I'm so glad I got to pick my lipstick shade in time before they started just randomly selecting a colour for everyone, this month they worked along with Revlon to give everyone one of their super lustrous lipstick in the shade Black Cherry 477 which is full-size!

Even when their boxes are the plain ones they are still sleek and pretty always with that cute little bow! They are £10 a month +£2.95 post and packaging.. which is always worth it considering the price of the products you get each month!

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick

I picked the shade Black Cherry 477!

I'm so bad when it comes to hoarding lipsticks or just any lip products in general,

 so to hear that they were working alongside glossy box this month I was so excited!!

The sleek packaging, the gold&black and the see through bit on the top of the lid so you can see the colour without opening in shops is so amazing, I couldn't wait to swatch this for you guys...

The excitement I had when I seen how creamy this lipstick was, was just incredible..

The pigment of the lipstick and how easily it glides on is beautiful.

I would seriously suggest anyone who doesn't have one of these lipsticks to buy one, totally worth the £7.99 espc when boots have 3 for 2!

Royal Apothic Moisturising Body Lotion 

I think in one of my previous boxes I had received a Royal Apothic lip tint, maybe last year but I'm not 100% either way I was impressed with that product, so to see I had another of their products I was very pleased :) it's not often you get a good body cream in boxes!

I must admit that the box for this body cream is the most amazing design I have seen for this type of product, swirls and flowers and posh writing for the design.

It contains lactic acid to gently smooth skin, while keeping it hydrated so it stays super-soft despite the chilly winter months.to use massage into damp skin post-shower to seal in the moisture.

This is not full size - but for a travel size this is such a big tube!

The full size costs £14.50 and their website is www.royalapothic.com

                                                Emite Diamond Heart Primer        

I cannot express how happy I was to get a primer, I've had primers for eye shadow in boxes before but never for foundation! This product is also travel size which yet again... a decent amount considering it's not full size as a little goes a long way anyway :D

This illuminating soft focus primer has a peachy tint to it but once blended into your skin you obviously cannot see it, on the back of my hand it did look a bit blurred and felt amazingly smooth.

The peachy fluid balances skin tone, boosts radiance and creates a smooth finish.

I cannot wait to try this out on my face, the full size is £25.90 and can be found on their website which is www.emitemakeup.com

                                                                  Eylure - Natural Lashes 

As well as many other of you ladies I couldn't wait to get these Eylure lashes!
From peoples blogs/instagram posts I know some people got the natural ones or the more dramatic ones! I find I get on a lot easier with the natural ones as they aren't so thick near the band.

Depending how I get on with these I think they'll become my new holy grail lashes!

Eylure is such an amazing brand and at £5 a pack is a bargain.

but never thought of purchasing this one!

These shadows are so creamy and pigmented, I've always loved MUA's products!

I actually created a look with these the other day and they blend amazingly well.
