First GLOSSYBOX of 2016 x

Hey everyone I am so pleased with the first glossybox of 2016!
Who else got this months box, what are your thoughts on the products ?? :D
I am SUPER excited for February's box, cannot wait to do another blog post on that for you guys.
Here's the products I received this month, I really hope you all enjoy my post and my genuine thoughts xxxxx

_________________________________________________________________________________

UNANI DERMO DEFENSE FACE MASK £11.36

So this dermo defense face mask is from the brand UNANI, I haven't really heard much about their brand but I did get one product last year in a birchbox which was a sample size.This product is full size and retails for £11.36 which is amazing for 100ml. I'm not sure on all of their products but I know this particular product isn't tested on animals, just for those of you who prefer make-up / skin care to not be tested on animals! I didn't bother taking a picture just based on the fact it's a clear gel, 

There isn't really a scent which is good for those who hate strong scented skin care, when you squeeze a bit out it does look very thick, but once you go to rub it into your skin it just turns into a thin watery consistency, which is a bonus as it will be easier to wash off. It is recommended for sensitive skin, and suggests you use it once or twice a week, all you do is evenly apply to your cleansed face, leave on for 10 minutes and rinse of with water, after use a toner all over your face.

I cannot wait to try this product out as I suffer from sensitive skin myself, I will be sure to let you guys know my thoughts.

You can find this product at comprarcosmetica.es

GLOSSYBOX EYESHADOW IN GLOSSY MAUVE £7.10

As all you glossybox addicts know, we never really get actual glossybox products all that much, so when you do they are completely amazing and blow your mind! This eyeshadow is full size and costs £7.10 and 3g of product.  I got mine in the shade GLOSSY MAUVE, a beautiful pale blueish purple toned shadow with tiny, tiny flecs of silver shimmer, it's also a satin eye shadow. It blends easily and is super pigmented, this will look so good in the crease! Can't wait to create a make-up look with this.

_________________________________________________________________________________

ANGELE Paris Red Nail Lacquer £6.32

If you are like me and you're obsessed with collecting nail varnishes then you'll love this just as much as I do myself, you can't go wrong with a beautiful red polish! This is from the brand ANGELE Paris, it's 11ml and costs £6.32. Obviously it's a nail varnish so there's not much I can write about it haha! Although I've heard it's long wearing when used with a base coat and top coat. 

I will let you all know and do a blog post about how long wearing it really is :D x

Teeez Cosmetics OASIS GEM LIPSTICK £11.93

As my lipstick was broken, glossybox was kind enough to send me a replacement AND a dove 60 second treatment shot for damaged hair, so once again thank you for amazing customer service! xx

As many other people are so in love with the design of the packaging, I am also obsessed!

It's so unique and different to any other lipstick I've ever seen to be honest. Now I personally think this product is a big hit or miss, I love the packaging, love the colour and the satin finish / scent... but the big miss for me was no matter how light you do a swatch OR apply it to your lips it just instantly snaps in half, I'm so gutted that this is the second time it's happened, but I will still try make it work or use a lip brush. Has anyone else had this problem? Other than that I love it, it has a very sweet scent though just to warn people who had strong scented lip products.

                                         Madara CELLULAR REPAIR SERUM £38
                                                                                      

This Madara cellular repair serum is luxury size which you get 15ml of product,

I'm hoping it's amazing to ever pay £38 for the full size, the consistency is thin and a bit watery but rubs into your skin easily, the colour of the product is sort of like a really pale mint green.

It's supposed to help plump your skin while boosting hydration and radiance.

I am excited to try this out, it does have a slight smell, but I can't quite put a finger on what it smells like haha, so if you guys know please enlighten me :')

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 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!
                                                                    Lipstick To Lashes

_________________________________________________________________________________

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.

You can get 25% off your first order on www.eylure.com by using the code 'Glossy25'

It expires on 30/11/2015 

_________________________________________________________________________________

                                                       MUA Eyeshadow Palette - Undressed

I own a few eye shadow palettes from MUA ( Makeup Academy ), 

but never thought of purchasing this one!

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

I remember in like 2008/2009 when they first appeared in superdrug stores.

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

These palettes are £4 each and can be found in store/online www.superdrug.com

OR  If you order from them online www.muastore.co.uk

You can get 20% off everything using the code 'MUAGLOSSY'

Jelly Pong Pong - Fairy Lashes Curl Mascara - £17.95
I actually received one of their mascaras a good few years back when I first subscribed to glossybox, 

I was excited that I got another one, the one I had before was different though where as this one is a mascara to help with curling your lashes! This mascara has a 100% cruelty-free formula, It claims to leave lashes with dramatic volume and intense definition so I cannot wait to try this out!
Gorgeous packaging and it's full size! If you want to check out more of their products please visit the

link I'll post it here >>>>  http://jellypongpong.com/

So Susan - Haute Light Highlighting Pencil £15

This peach-hued creamy crayon will flatter anyone, apply it along the inner rim of the eyes to make the whites pop or blend over your brow bones or cheek bones to boost radiance.

100% Cruelty-Free (We do NOT test our products or ingredients on animals)

The packaging is just so cute, anyone else think so?! It may be £15 but it's worth it considering that it's not tested on animals & the effort they put into the designs for the packaging. I am a sucker when it comes to highlighting my face so this will suit my super pale face! Excited to be trying this out when I get chance.

Please visit their website they're an amazing company! <3

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Lanolips Antibacterial Hand Cream £8.99

Some people received Lanolips lip glosses, so when I knew I got this Antibacterial hand cream I was so excited, it's proven to kill 99.9 % of germs. I love it's sleek packaging completely travel friendly so I'll be taking this out with me everywhere from now on :)  I have actually used this and not only does a little go a long way, it doesn't have that thick or greasy feel which is great!
For some reason the card you get in your glossy box it says this product is £8.99 but the only place you can get it is boots, and their website says £9.99... 

Either way it's worth it as it does  what it says :D
_________________________________________________________________________________

Talika Photo-Hydra Day £24.85

As I suffer from dry skin I couldn't wait to get my hands on this product, it claims to be deeply hydrating, especially in the autumn/ winter! It has soothing and nourishing ingredients alongside plumping hyaluronic acid which will leave your complextion hydrated and primed!
This is so excited and I cannot wait to add this into my skin care routine :D

Please visit their website to check out their products! talika.com/US/GB/
_________________________________________________________________________________

Nicka K - Airbrush Blending Sponge £6.50

I was so shocked that I got a product that I can actually apply my make-up with, 

Although I'm happy enough receiving make-up products it's always nice to switch it around!
I've always been a 100% fan of applying my foundation with a flat top brush as I find it gives a more airbrushed flawless finish  ( my opinion ) so I cannot wait to try this sponge out as I've heard great things about Nicka K products. It feels dense and soft which is awesome!

If you want to see any of their other products feel free to visit their website!! nicka.com
