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 :')

First impressions

Bell's CC Cream testing/review *BEAUTYCROWD*

Hey everyone, so a few days ago I received an e-mail from Beauty Crowd saying that they would love to send me the Bell CC Cream for me to test and try out so I can review the product on my blog for you guys, which obviously I couldn't thank them enough for giving me this opportunity!

So as I was trying it out, I thought that I may as well create a look and do all my makeup too.

I really hope you enjoy this, and please feel free to let me know what you think :D
_________________________________________________________________________________

Whilst in the shower I exfoliated my face to get rid of any dry skin,
I gently pat my skin dry and I went ahead and applied garnier's moisture nourish for dry to very dry skin.

I left that around 5 minutes, just so it settled into my skin.  Once it had settled I went onto primer, I used the PRO MATTIFY from Freedom.

Once again I left that around 2-3 minutes to settle onto my skin..

So now onto the product this post is mainly about, which Beauty Crowd very kindly sent out to me.

The next product I used was the Bell CC Cream, as you all probably know CC creams are amazing for people who suffer with redness and correcting the skin tone, I usually get a bit of redness on my nose and on my cheeks.

I applied dots evenly all over my face, then I used my ELF flat top powder brush and stippled it into my skin, which even with my foundation I personally find it gives off a more flawless finish. As there was still redness showing through, and it didn't look or feel cakey I continued to add another layer, but instead of making it a full 'two layers' I decided to focus on the main problem areas.
So where there was any redness showing through still I stippled the CC cream into my skin.

Next I took my lasting perfection concealer from collection, which is my holy grail concealer!
I applied it under my eyes, down my nose any redness showing and my chin.
To blend that out I like to use my ring finger and slowly dab it in.

So after that  gave  the CC cream time to settle on my skin, I would say it has a semi-matte finish. Due do me having quite oily skin, and this product also being one of Bell's products I used my real techniques cheek brush and applied Bell's fixing matte powder all over my skin.
_________________________________________________________________________________

So to complete the look I went on to use these products, I started off by applying Benefits stay don't stray all over my eyelids. I then went onto using mua's bronzer to contour as it's the perfect shade! I then used Freedom's Pro Glow Pink Cat on the apples of my cheeks.

The highlight I chose for this look is Cindy Loumanizer  to highlight my nose and just above my blush on my cheek bones.

Now for my eyes, I used my real techniques eyeshadow brush, and Urban decays crease brush.
For this look I picked out Freedom's Pro Shade& Brighten Mattes  Kit 1.

With my realtechniques eyeshadow brush I applied the very first shade on the left in the palette,
I used that all over my lid, and for my crease I used the darkest shade and blended it into my crease with my urban decay crease brush.

To finish that off I got the highlight in the palette and applied it under my brows and blended that in.

For my eyeliner I used freedoms liquid liner, and for mascara I used Milani's Grandissimo Lashes.






Once all my make-up was done I sprayed freedom's fixing spray onto my face to help my make-up stay in place.

< So here's the finished look!!
So my first impressions of the Bell's CC cream were amazing!!

It's not full coverage but it can build to medium without looking cakey.

It goes amazingly well with the Bells fixing matte powder,
I love love love it!
It's probably one of the best CC creams out there!

I highly recommend this product,
Mine is in the shade Porcelain,
which I was scared at first and I never find CC creams pale enough.

There's 4 shades
* Porcelain
*Nude
*Sunny Beige and Toffee.
This product is £6.95 for 30 ml :)
I will put the direct link to this product below so you can hopefully purchase one of your own!

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.

June Birchbox 2015

June French Sole Step Outside With Birchbox

Hey everyone so for this box birchbox had teamed up with French Sole!

You could pick what design box you wanted, but like always I forgot haha.
instead of the usual birchbox bag, it's a French Sole shoe tie bag.

I will list all the products,prices and all information below like always for you all.

English Laundry *BIRCHBOX EXCLUSIVE* 
No. 7 For her perfume by Christopher Wicks.
This is a sample size, for the full size it would cost £60
For a sample perfume, that I have never even heard of -
It has the most gorgeous fruity, fresh smell which has a hint of musk too.


Yes To - Cucumbers Facial Wipes
These wipes are sample size which you get 10 of in each sample size pack.
The full size retails at £4.99
These wipes are very hydrating ( so amazing for dry skin like myself )
95% natural and removes make-up.

Balance Me - Super Moisturising Body Wash
This full size 100ml body wash is 99% natural
it's great for hydrating your skin, but also comes in handy if you suffer from dry skin too!
It costs £9

Beauty Protector * BIRCHBOX EXCLUSIVE*
I got 2 sample sized protect & oils, the full size would cost £16
You only need 1-3 drops when you smooth it into damp hair
so those 2 samples will actually last a very long time.
It is a lightweight hair oil and it protects against UV rays and heat damage!
I personally think it's the best smelling oil for your hair that i've ever come across!
TOTALLY SMELLS LIKE CANDYFLOSS :D

Mirenesse - iCurl Secret Weapon 24Hr Mascara 
I was super excited to get this mascara,
It has a good curved wand, birchbox claim that the full size is £16
But I had done a bit of research and their website sell the fullsize for £10

STYLondon - Temporary Metallic Tattoos 
This is full size and costs £7.99
yet like I said about my glossybox, another lot of tattoos I will not use!


Overall I was pleased with june's box,
Shame about the tattoos but that doesn't matter.
