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.

Mini Superdrug Haul

Mini Superdrug Haul

Hey everyone sorry that it's been about a month since I last posted anything at all,
Thought I'd share with you all my little haul from today whilst waiting for my glossy box to arrive!

I hope you all enjoy! <3

_________________________________________________________________________________

So for weeks I've wanted a few of the new products from Makeup Academy (MUA)

I finally went today and purchased 3 items, which I am excited to show you all!

The first thing that caught my eye was the new primer from their Skin Define Hydro range,

I have heard it's an amazing dupe for Illamasqua's Hyrda Veil, which after using the Illamasqua's one that I had in my birchbox I can say so far the MUA version feels and looks the exact same (bar the packaging)

After opening it, I used a tiny amount (which I've figured goes  a long way)

As you can probably see, the formulation of this primer is gel - and as you can see once it was on my finger for a good few seconds it becomes thinner in consistency which is great!
I can't explain how much I am in love with this already, for this moment in time I've only tested it on the back of my hand, and it blended in so nice, it's lightweight and SO hydrating.

Brilliant product for dryer skin, excited to do a proper review to see how it wears with foundation!

They are £5 you can find them at any superdrug store or on their website.

_________________________________________________________________________________

I also picked up the skin define hydro powder with vitamin e and jojoba,

as I do get dry skin it was just common sense to get both the primer and powder, 

As you can see on the swatch the pigment is crazy.

It's a lightweight formula and the texture to me,feels super soft and not chalky at all!

I'm one for a matte make-up look so hopefully when I try this out properly it gives amazing results!

They are £3

_________________________________________________________________________________

The top picture is without the flash, and the bottom picture is with flash.

I own two of these already, but this is my first one since they re-done them and changed the packaging.

I got mine in the shade Tranquility, a gorgeous nude brown colour.

I did notice that the applicator is a bit different, and slimmer.
The scent and formulation is actually different to the old ones,
the new ones have a thinner formulation, but a much stronger scent...

Now that never usually bothers me, so if you aren't a fan of strong smelling lip products,

 then I'd stay clear of this. I applied it to my lips without exfoliating them  and using lip liner ...

The reason I done that was just to see how it would work alone, I would personally suggest exfoliating and using a lip liner before hand, they are £3 each! bargain..

_________________________________________________________________________________

The last make-up item I picked up was their new lipstick in the shade vintage rouge,

It is such a beautiful colour, when I swatched this on my hand I thought that it was super creamy and really does glide on like a dream, so I just had to try it on my lips!
Like before I never used a lipliner, just so I could see how it works alone..

It is so hydrating I am not even kidding you, it glides on without having to drag it across your lips, 

Although I know it's not a lip gloss, it has that sort of shine to it once applied.

I would suggest using a lip liner though just because of how creamy and thin it is.

Beautiful shade and beautiful lipstick all round, they are £1 each!!!
The from top to bottom the first picture below will be without flash, then the second one with flash.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The last two items I picked up was from Aussie!

I picked up two bottles from their winter miracle limited edition design.

I am obsessed with their hair products and the smell is just to die for!
This is the first time I will have purchased the winter edition ones, 

it contains Australian Ginseng extract and Pearl Powder!
I can't explain how nice these ones smell, I got the 500ml shampoo and 400ml conditioner!
They are £5.99 a bottle BUT at the minute in superdrug they are £2.98.

Thank you for reading,

 sorry it's not much but I still like to get content up for you guys when I can!

Super excited as I am waiting for my glossybox to arrive so I can do an un-boxing for you,

I am also waiting for my kind friend's parcel that she has shipped to me all the way from Canada so that will be amazing to see what lovely things she's got me.

- Please feel free to ask any questions or even suggestions of make-up looks you would like to see on my blog, all my website details are on my blog page :D

Thank you once again, and I'll speak again soon..

MUA First Impressions

MUA Luxe Whipped Velvet Lips - First Impressions

Hey everyone so after waiting a while I finally decided to pick two of the shades,
In superdrug they are 2 for £5 at the moment ( Or if you don't want two they are £3 each )
I picked out Majestic and Spry a gorgeous red shade and the perfect nude.

 Makeup Academy are an affordable - but yet high quality brand, for all those who don't know :).
All their products have individual looks to them, these whipped velvet lips have a very expensive but sleek look, which is always a bonus for such an affordable brand!
_________________________________________________________________________________

The swatches in the left picture is in natural daylight, the picture on the right is with the flash on my camera!

The left shade is Spry.
The right shade is Majestic!

I always struggle to find the 'perfect nude' shade due to being so pale,
BUT this really is amazing, not too orange but not too brown either.

The red shade is also a great one!


_________________________________________________________________________________

< Spry          -              Majestic >




These Whipped Velvet lips have such a gorgeous Vanilla/Cherry scent!
I personally like those smells, but if you don't these will be a hit or miss for you.
They don't dry out your lips either, which lets be honest is something we all look forward to with lip products these days.

I would say the product feels very light-weight on your lips,
and once applied it's quite a sheen finish, matte but a bit glossy at the same time!
_________________________________________________________________________________


Overall I'm impressed with these products, the red could of been a bit more pigmented but for £3 each you can't complain at that, just means it's more natural for the daytime.

I can clarify that they do not dry out your lips though,

If you are interested in these you can purchase them at Superdrug ( if you're in the UK )
Or their website which I'll link below for you all.

www.superdrug.com                               www.muastore.co.uk

Thank you for reading, if you want to know more - or suggest what you'd like to see on my blog follow me on Instagram -    BEAUTYBLOGGER94_

For my next blog post will be a make-up look, and august's Birchbox so keep your eyes peeled <3

MUA Haul

Sunday, 1 March 2015

MUA HAUL!

Sorry that it's late tonight, had a few things to sort out today but I'm staying true to my words and i'm still going to write out this post for you all tonight! :) Here goes... I hope you enjoy xo-

I had ordered my things on the sunday, and by wednesday morning I had my goodies in the post!
They no longer do standard delivery but they do guaranteed delivery -
Which  I believe is around £3.60? Super fast and reliable! 

I was super excited when I got my items but I was super sad that one of the nail polishes was damaged, other than that though everything else were great!

              Here's a picture of the things I had purchased;

First of all I got two of their blushers, in shade 1 & 3

Shade 1 was a re-purchase as I've nearly hit pan, and shade 3 i'd never tried before.

I'm sure their blushers used to be quite powdery and dusty but now I'm pleased with both they go on so smooth, and although they are powder blushes it has a cream like texture, the are both beautiful shades!!! 

The left is shade 1 and the right is shade 3,they both have a great colour payoff and at just £1 each they are better than expected!


I also picked up 3 lip glosses from their mua pro lipgloss range,
they are called '  Out There Plumping Lipgloss ' 
I got them in the shade BUFF, - PINK SUGAR - SHOCKING PINK.

I have tested all of them out and for a lipgloss I think they actually have a great colour payoff, they make your lips feel tingly though so for those who aren't so used to the idea then I probably wouldn't suggest them for you. Each shade contains maxi lip© plumping agents for a natural looking pout with a non sticky formula.
They are £2 each and they have 7 shades in total.

From top to bottom the shades are;

BUFF
PINK SUGAR
SHOCKING PINK

these three are such beautiful shades,
buff is more natural and doesn't look too much on your lips,
and the other two are just as nice if you want to brighten up your look.
I think it really is true that they are non sticky, they make your lips feel super amazing too!

The last lip items I purchased were a lip stick and lip gloss, 
I have their INTENSE KISSES High Intensity Gloss -
In shade Kiss And Tell. they are £2 

Then I purchased their normal £1 lipstick range in shade 5, 


On the left is the Kiss And Tell Gloss
and the really pale glitter pink is their lipstick in shade 5.

They both glide on so well, I was so excited when I had applied the gloss over my lips,
I was so surprised, it has such great pigmentation. The lipstick however just has a light pigment to it, which I suppose is still good if you want to have  a pale shimmer to your lips.


The three Nail Varnishes I purchased are £1 each and the shades I picked were;

Deepest Purple, Bright Coral and Pistachio Ice Cream.
I don't have any swatches but, they glide on quite well!
Although it was my favourite one Pistachio Ice Cream that was damaged :( it was super thick/all around the inside of the lid and was just too thick to do anything.


I hope that you enjoyed reading , I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has either followed me on here or just gone through my blog in general, because I have to this exact minute 1,013 views all time on my blog in general, I didn't think that it would be possible.

So yes thank you guys, I will post my february favourites tomorrow for you all.

Goodnight ^_^ xxo
