Glossybox June 2016 review

Hello everyone 

I just want to apologise for the delay in posting this review. Its just taken ages as I didn't want to ruin the box but I bit the bullet and opened it. 

So June was my first ever glossybox and I was so excited about it arriving. Sadly the day it got delivered I was at work so I had to wait 😔 and go and pick it up from the post office delivery centre two days Later! When i got to the delivery centre there was two glossy boxes there which I couldn't understand because I only ordered one. 

I couldn't wait to get home and open it. As soon as I got back I sat down and literally ripped the outside packaging off. And this is what I got. 
I could not get over how gorgeous the box design was. Even though it was a simple pink colour with the Glossybox logo on the top with "Glossybox" embossed also. The box is of amazing quality and really sturdy so the box is a definite keeper to store things in after. I'm the top of the box came a card saying welcome to Glossybox and the Glossybox magazine telling you all the products that are in the box. There was a beautiful ribbon around the tissue paper with the Glossybox sticker over the top. 

The first item in the box was the starskin bio-cellulose soothing eye catcher gel sheets. These are meant to help soothe dark circles and bags under your eyes as I got the two boxes I saved one to take pictures of and used the products out the other one. So trying these I followed the instructions of leaving them on for 20 minutes as instructed. After removing the sheets I have to be honest my eyes dos look brighter and felt tighter which I was amazed at. This was a full size product and the RRP for this is £8 I think. 

The next item in the box was from Aussie, it was their 3 minute conditioning reconstructer for damaged hair. I've not got around using this product yet but having used it in the past I know how well it works already. It smells absolutely Devine and I know I'll definitely be purchasing the full size product of this when I get paid. The sachet of this costs around £1.50 and the full size around £6 in all major supermarkets and shops such as boots and superdrug


Next up is a lip and cheek tint from a company called emite make up. This is another full size product it's a really really nice deep pink colour and really shows up on your lips. If I'm honest I wouldn't have a clue how to use it on my cheeks 😂 I really wouldn't. It's an amazing colour though and like I said its lush on my lips. The RRP on this is £12.50 


Next up is a product from a company called ladival they have kindly send out a full size product of their sun protection cream in spf 15. I've not tried this yet as the British summer just hasn't let me. So I honestly can do a proper review but it smells amazing I can tell you that and it's not greasy like some sun products you can use. The RRP for this is £19.99 and I have two of them that's £40 worth of product in two things. 
My next item out the box is an after sun product from the company de bruyere . Again like I said in the last post I can't do a full review on this one as the British summer just hasn't let me. Really annoying but it amazing it has a really nice scent to it and leaves my skin really soft. The RRP for is is £9.48 seems such a random price. 

The final product in this month is from spa to you with the natural Konjac sponge. I've been wanting one of these for ages but haven't wanted to pay out the expense for them. At £6.99 it's not that expensive but when you have to replace then every 6/8 weeks it could get an expensive habit. Anyway I've been using this for about 4 weeks now and I can say it's made a small difference to my skin. But if I can get one cheaper then I'll carry on using them. 

This concludes the June Glossybox and my review

My July make up favourites

Hello girlys and guys 

I just thought I would do something a little different I thought I would do my July make up favourites and then do my general July favourites when I'm home from hospital. 

So these are my July make up favourites 

So the first one is maybelline baby skin primer. I love this it makes a massive difference to my skin it completely covers up my pores that show. Leaves my skin feeling really smooth and gives it a nice base ready for the foundation. The RRP for this is usually £7.99 

My next favourite is from make up revolution and it's their vivid baked highlighter, this looks amazing after I've put on my foundation and powder just gives my skin a small bit of shimmer and make my eyes stand out more which is amazing. This was around £3 in superdrug. 

Next up is from make up academy or  MUA. It's the brow gel in dark brown  these just fills in the gaps in my brows which is perfect. This was £2 from superdrug.

Following on with my brows I got the benefit ready set brows Brow gel for free in the Marie Claire magazine which was  £3.99 and the gel it's self is worth £9 for the size I've got. I've been using it for a week now and it's absolutely amazing it's sets my brows and has been perfect in keeping my brows tame for the whole day. 

Next up is from collection, it's the lengthening last mascara in ultra black. I've been using this for for around 18 months now. It's a favourite every month. It's just amazing, it doesn't smudge it leaves my eyes look open and bright and makes my lashes look perfect! I love the  brush that comes with the mascara it spreads my lashes so they do not get stuck together and this is definitely a firm favourite. This is usually £3.99 from all major retailers such as boots, superdrug, Asda etc

My last favourite is again from MUA. It's a lipstick in a nude colour called bare. It slides on with no trouble and stays on a lot longer than some of the more expensive lipsticks you can buy on the market which i have purchased in the past. For £1 you certainly cannot go wrong especially this colour it can go with any outfit been a nude colour.

So these are my make up favourites from July 2016. I love all of these products. When I get home from hospital I will do a post about my general favourites from July.
