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 :')

KIKO MILANO HAUL

Hello everyone so after finding out there has been a KIKO store open in Birmingham since November I just had to go, all the products I'll be mentioning are purchased over 3 trips in the space of one week (sad I know) But I still cannot get over how amazing their products are!
They have 50% off in store and online on certain things, the staff are so friendly and well mannered which is amazing, the woman who served me even noticed I was wearing one of their nail varnishes without me even saying so, which shows she is dedicated and knows enough about the company to work there! I hope you enjoy my haul, I also purchased a lip liner which I forgot to add into the picture but I will list it below and I'll also put the prices of each product too <3

_________________________________________________________________________________

The first products I actually purchased were two from their nail care, they are £4.90 each and I picked up their Gel Look Ultra Glossy Effect Top Coat, and their Strong Nails Instant Hardening Base Coat, I have used both and they are the best ones that I have tried so far, I really do recommend these products never found such great polishes, I'll 100% be buying more from their nail care range. 

_________________________________________________________________________________

KIKO Nail Lacquer 266 Ultramarine Blue - £3.90

A little bit about me you probably don't know (unless you know me or have seen my Instagram)

I actually hoard nail varnishes, I just love always painting my nails and having hundreds of options when I get bored of a certain one,  SO that being said I just had to purchase one of their nail lacquers in the shade 266 Ultramarine Blue, such a beautiful electric blue shade with a hint of shimmer.

I was so shocked at how glossy it looked before I even applied their gel top coat, and that being said I done my nails Saturday 16TH January, it's now the 22ND of January and they're still going strong, a few have chipped a tiny little bit but that was due to catching or breaking a nail, other than that most nails are still looking fine, If you love a long wearing nail polish that looks glossy before top coat and dries fast then I suggest you look into these, they have SO many to choose from so everyone will find one they like, and for £3.90 they are a bargain!

_________________________________________________________________________________

KIKO Matte Muse Lipstick - 01 Plushy Rose

I was super excited to see this product in store, I'm such a baby for any matte lip product, who isn't though right? :D The only shade they had left in store was this one, 01 Plushy  Rose - But it's such a beautiful colour anyway so I had to buy it, super pigmented and really does stay on your lips!

The doe foot applicator makes it easier to apply as it fills more of your lip compared to a tiny normal shaped one, it glides on quite smoothly and looks beautiful on!

I did look on their website again but I can no longer find it on there :( I got it on offer for around £3.40 / £3.60 and I'm pretty sure the full price was £6.90 (not 100% though)

_________________________________________________________________________________

KIKO SOFT LIGHT POWDER - 01

As a pale girl all you fellow ghosts will understand the pain and frustration of finding powders light enough (other than translucent ones obviously) that will match your skin without looking like a Simpson or an orange x'D I was so excited when I swatched this powder in store it's in the shade 01 and it's perfect, feels so soft and smooth and it does actually have quite a lot of coverage to be honest, which is amazing, it's their soft light powder - baked mineral powder, nice sleek compact with a mirror inside perfect to take in your handbag! I'm not sure weather they've stopped selling this as I can no longer find it on their website and I really can't remember how much I paid, sorry guys!

_________________________________________________________________________________

KIKO VIVID COLOUR LIPSTICK PENCIL - 09 Ruby Red £5.90

I don't think I own many lipstick pencils, infact I'm not sure I even do, so I thought it would be a nice change to try something new so I picked up one of kiko's vivid colour lipstick pencils in the shade 09 Ruby Red, I have always been a lover of red lip sticks etc so I couldn't help myself :p

As you can see in the swatch it's a clean line and it glided onto my skin like a dream, only thing is even when I smudged it with my finger it leaves a stain, so I can't wait to try this out to see what the staying power is like :D I will keep you informed on how I get on with this! <3

_________________________________________________________________________________

KIKO EXTRA SCULPT VOLUME MASCARA £8.90

So as you all know pretty much nearly every month I get glossybox, and in December's Really Ree edition I received kiko's extra sculpt volume mascara, so although I never really purchased this in store this mascara retails for £8.90 if you were to purchase it yourselves!

I have heard a lot of people say it's a dupe for a high end mascara but for the life of me I really can't remember, but the whole idea of this big hourglass wand is to evenly distribute the texture. The brush's square ends reach the shortest lashes and those in the corners of your eyes. The formula and brush together ensure curly, volumized lashes with a panoramic effect.

I can't wait to try this out properly but it seems alright so far!

_________________________________________________________________________________

KIKO SMART LIP PENCIL 705 Bright Geranium £2.50

When I went into kiko, cause I don't really have many lip liners I thought I'd get a red one, I swatched one on my hand in store which to me looked red, so weather I got the wrong one who knows but this is their smart lip pencil in the shade 705 Bright Geranium a coral orange shade, it's super creamy and blends so well, it has amazing staying power too which is great! It's available in 16 colours <3

_________________________________________________________________________________

 So as I love eye shadow that much I really wanted to buy two colours that would look amazing in the crease of my eyes, so I got one of their eyeshadows in the shade 131 Satin Coffee (left) and one of their Infinity [CLICS] system shadows in the shade 288 Mat Brown Taupe (right)
When I swatched them on my hand I was shocked at how pigmented kiko's eyeshadows are, they blend easily and glide onto your skin like a dream!!! They The 131 Satin Coffee retails for £2.90 and the 288 Mat Brown Taupe retails for £5.90. I highly recommend their eye shadows <3


Those are all the products I own from KIKO so far guys, knowing me I'll probably end up purchasing more at some point when I have the chance to, but for now I'll enjoy playing around with the products I do have and really test them out :D.
It would mean a lot to me, and KIKO if you were to check them out, I'll leave all their social media accounts below and their website so you can check out their products and keep up to date with offers/news!

Glossybox - April 2015

Hello everyone :), first of all I just want to say how excited I was for this Iconic hollywood edition!

The box has Marilyn Monroe on the front and mine was the cute yellow box!

I had 3 full sized products and 2 decent sized samples;

Lord & Berry - Lipstick Pencil in the shade KISS - FULL SIZE £10

Astral Original - Face And Body Moisturiser FULL SIZE IS £3.89 FOR 200ML

POP Beauty Kajal Eyeliner Pen - Full size £6.50

Color Club - Barely There Nail Polish - Full size £4.10

*New Launch* Nougat London - Soothing Bath Pearls - Full Size £6











I loved this months box, although I wish there was a question on their website that also asked if you have a bath or shower as I have a shower and can't use the bath pearls :( they smell so good too!

Either way I still love the box, here's some swatches of the Lord and Berry and eyeliner;

On the left is the Lord And Berry Lipstick,
It's the perfect red,it has a classic pillar box hue.
It glides on your lips surprisingly easy, it has a lovely matte finish and if you're not a fan of matte finishes on your lips then you can easily apply a clear gloss or lip balm over the top :)
This can be found on www.selfridges.com


On the right is POP Beauty -
Kajal Eyeliner Pen.
It has a super creamy formula, so don't press too hard!
It's very pigmented, which I was happy about you can also use the smudger end to create that smokey - sootier finish.

You can purchase this on www.popbeauty.co.uk



Thank you for reading, if you have any questions please feel free to ask :D.

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
