GLOSSYBOX | March


I know, I know my blog's becoming a bit of  beauty box central lately I promise I'll find a nice level between box posts.
This is my second Glossybox and I'm fairly impressed but I do feel my box wasn't shown the kind of TLC my last box was, my last box all my items arrived nice and neatly snug into the shredded paper but this months there was a bundle of shredded paper in one corner and my items where just rattling around it, The little sticker that holds them all secure in the tissue paper wasn't stuck over enough to actually seal it shut.  Maybe I'm just being fussy but I didn't feel the loving packaged feel like I did when I peaked into last months box.


In the box

NAOBAY Moisturizing Peeling - £13.71 for 1OOml
With buzzwords such as "luminous" and "minimal" bandied about by make-up artists backstage at the shows, the spotlight is on skin this spring. Thankfully, this organic peeling milk from Spanish eco-brand Naobay is like a start over for skin, with particles from the acai tree to remove dulling dead skin cells and brighten the complexion.

This product left me totally confused no clue of what it was or how to use it, because I'm one of those that doesn't read the little card that comes in the box but dives straight into the items inside. It's actually a peeling milk which is pretty intriguing I've only ever really heard of peeling masks.

Essence Lash Princess Volume Mascara - £3.3O for 12ml 
Every girl's make-up mush have. Mascara takes you from weary to wide-eyed in one sweep. This mascara has a clever cobra head shaped wand, which grabs each individual lash to create length and dramatic volume, for inky black eyes as seen this season.
shop at: www.essence.eu/uk/home
If the packaging wasn't as cute as it is I'd have been a little disappointed that I got another mascara as I got one in my last box too. 

Dove Advanced Hair Series Youthful Vitality Shampoo & Conditioner £5.99 for 25Oml
As we age or grow our hair longer, it becomes weaker and prone to breakage. This hydrating duo repairs brittle tresses and works to replenish lost nutrients, so hair is left stronger, sleeker and looking twice as thick - perfect for our latest obsession with loose braids 
Shop at: www.tesco.com & www.boots.com
I've got to be honest I'm a little disappointed to get these again as I got them in my YOUBEAUTY box but I suppose that's what I get for being greedy and being signed up to two boxes.

ncLA Nail Lacquer £13 for 15ml
Free of toxins, cult brand ncLA's bestselling shade is the perfect quick-dry neon pastel, For us, it represents everything spring - colour, sun starting to peek through clouds and maybe even the chance of a holiday on the horizon.
shop at: www.shopncla.co.uk 

Sleek MakeUP Pout Paint £.499 for 8ml
Ever wanted to make your own lipstick shade? Well now is your chance!
Designed to be applied softly for a light stain or liberally for jaw dropping colour, Pout paint lets you wear it how you want. You can even mix it with another lip colour to create the ulitmate bespoke shade.

Feburary Glossybox | My FIRST Box

(please excuse the awful lighting)

A few weeks ago I finally signed up to glossy box after months and months of wanting to sign up to some kind of beauty box and stalking the blogsphere for reviews for each box out there, Glossy box looked like the one for me.
Today this beautiful little box arrived at my door and I couldn't wait to tear my way into it BUT first photos for the blog (that has to be one of the worst parts of being a blogger, I won't use anything I'm blogging about until I've grabbed some snaps)

 So whats in the box?

Wilkinson Sword Hydro Silk - £9.99 available at most stores | www.wilkinsonsword.co.uk
With water-activiated bar of moisturizing serum infused with marine extracts and shea butter, this razor hyrdates skin for up to 2 hours after shaving and the five blades leave legs super soft.

MARSK Mineral Eyeshadow | Fifty shades - £14.49 | www.marsk.co.uk
With a colour palette inspired by that film, this mineral powder-based eye shadow is 1OO% natural and highly pigmented so it packs a punch.

Royal Apothic Tinties - $14 | www.royalaphotic.com
These pretty pots contain shea butter and a trio of oils (argan, grape seed, almond) to nourish lips.

So Susan Rose Quartet Lip & Cheek Palette - £8 for 4g | www.sosusan.com
Match lips and cheeks for a uniform polish or be brave an clash red lips with fuchsia cheeks.

B.Cosmetics Mascara - £9.99 | www.superdrug.com
Every woman needs the perfect mascara in  her life. So let us introduce you.... this lengthens, defines, volumises and conditions with Lash Active

Now the only two things I'm likely to use out of my box is the shaver and mascara, possibly the tinties and mineral eyeshadow if and when I ever have a night out or a dinner out with Andy.
Despite being unlikely to use all of the products I'm very happy with my first box and I can't wait for next months box.
