Glossy Box Reveal.





I can't believe it's been a year since my first glossy box! So I thought I'd do a glossy box reveal, since I haven't done one in a while!
For once I have received a glossy box full of stuff which I will actually use and not just shove in the bottom of my make up drawer to forget about! So here is a description of what I got and the prices!

      
 

Bellapierre Cosmetics Minteral Lipstick.

I've never heard of this brand before so I'm excited to try this lipstick out! This is in the shade Cat Walk, it's more of a peach shade but got pink shimmer tones through it. I think this is beautiful and glides on your lips gorgeously! This is perfect for summer as it includes Vitamin C and Vitamin E and also protects lips against the sun, which most people forget to do, as lips can burn to!




Colour Club | Glossy Seal

I have never owned or seen a shade like this before! I completely fell in love with it when I opened up my box this month! I only applied one coat and it looked flawless but an extra few coats wouldn't harm either! I'm going to wear this to work now and hope that it doesn't chip, and keep you posted on it. This is a glossy box exclusive but why not go on and look at all the shades, I'll be definitely buying more! 



 ABSOLUTE New York Eyeshadow Primer

This is the second eye shadow primer I own. My go to primer is the Urban Decay Primer Potion so I'm definitely going to try this and see if this is just as good! This is a cheaper alternative so yet again I will keep you updated on what I think of it. 





Carmex Lip Balm

This wont be a stranger to most of you as this is a very popular lip balm. This is my go-to lip balm as I don't particularly like Vaseline, It's just too slimy and greasy for my liking.  So excited to have another tin to keep in my handbag! The link I'm leaving to buy it has a 3 for 2 on Carmex at the moment so definitely check that out!


 
Dr Bronner's Magic Liquid Soap

I've not used this yet, but might give it a bash and see what's it's like. It doesn't smell the nicest but it's full of organic products and also safe to use on babies too! So it must not be that bad! 



Have you used OR going to use any of these products?

December Glossy Box | Reveal and Review



This month's glossy box wasn't so impressive, well for myself anyway! But here's my reveal and review of this month's glossy box and the products which i love and dislike.








This product is from Beautiful Movement Cosmetics and the price of this small nude and compact lip gloss is £12. I do like this lip gloss actually, it is a little light for me though. I tend to blend it in with my dark lipsticks which i wear at night so it turns a little lighter and looks acceptable to wear in the day time. Over all, nice product but i don't think i will buy it once it runs out, i will stick to the lip glosses which i know will suit me! 6/10.









I was very excited about this product, yeah i know it is just a razor but i did need a new one which was a little more expensive and would help my skin as it's sensitive. This may look like an electric razor, but it's not, around the razor is a soap bar and a razor in the middle. You can buy the soap and razor pack in your high street stores. This is £6.49 which i think is great for this product! 10/10.





This is the only product i haven't tried out yet. The little card that comes with this glossy box says it gives a satin smooth finish. I will do a separate blog for this though in the next few days showing the results! This is £9.95 for a 14ml bottle.







This Lipsy 'Glam' perfume is absolutely gorgeous! For me personally it's a strong fruity smell, which i adore and couldn't stop spraying this when i first got it. Going to go out and buy the bottle as well! For people who don't like strong perfume's this might not be for you, but you could go into Lipsy and try it for yourself! This is £25 from Lipsy. 9/10.







I wanted to cry when i opened my Glossy Box and seen this lying there. I got this bought for me in September and i done a review of it HERE. This is my favourite eye shadow by far but i just wish i got another colour! It's fine having two though, but was a little disappointed with this, obviously not there fault though as they never knew i had it! 7/10.

November Glossy Box Reveal.

(from left to right: Elegant touch for nails, Vichy serum, Emite eyeshadow, B Quick Nail Varnish and Yves hand cream).

Receiving a Glossy box is my favourite time of month, beauty products that i haven't heard of or interested to try out turning up at my door for only £10 a month! What else would a girl want!?

This is not a review, my review will be up in a few weeks once i have had enough time to try out these products and make my verdict on them!

Elegant touch rapid dry for nails: For people on the go and are in a rush this spray, added with vitamin E is supposed to dry your nails in 60 seconds! You can buy this product from high streets stores at the price of £3.

Vichy Idealia Life Serum: This product is supposed to help the transformation of skin quality and hide the effects of stress, pollution, smoke and an unhealthy diet. This product is interesting to me, i go through tons of facial products so this will be great to find out if it works or not. For a full size 30ml bottle it's £29.50 from here .

Emite Micronized Eyeshadow in 'Dams': Free from oil and perfume, this is supposed to be an easy apply beauty product and have an lasting result. £16.80 at Emite Make up online. *click here*

Quick one coat finish nail polish: Smooth long-lasting finish from just one application.. well i'll be the judge of that! £4.99 from Superdrug.

Yves Rocher France hand cream: Protects your hands from the temperature fall this winter, it's a nourishing treat! £1.95 at Yves Rocher.  IF YOU BUY YVES ROCHER RASPBERRY HOME FRAGRANCE AND RASPBERRY SPARKLING SHOWER GEL YOU RECEIVE FREE PERFUMED SHOWER GEL, LIP BALM AND HAND CREAM. ASK FOR CODE!

Do you get a Glossy Box? What do you think!?

October Glossy box reveal and review.



This post is going to be a reveal of the new Glossy Box for October and also i can review three out of the five items i received so I'm going to review three now and the other two in a later post as they are moisture's and can't review them after one use! This hasn't been one of my favourite Glossy Box's this month but i am excited to try new things i haven't heard of before, so there is always a plus to something you don't particularly like!

 

This was my favourite product out of the Glossy Box this month as I've been dying to try it since It's been released! This is Katy Perry's new fragrance 'Killer Queen'. Instead of trying to explain what the scent is to you, i can tell you what is in it, even better right!? Dark plum, wild berry, bergamot, red velvet flower, rainbow plumeria, natural jasmine sambac, cashmeran, natural patchouli heart and liquid praline are all in the well 'killer' (get it!?) scent! It cost's £29.50 for a 50ml bottle, and it's available everywhere now! 


I was so unsure of this product when i read what it was, and frankly I've never heard of a product like it before! This is a cheek and lip tint, daunting i know! The red blotch on my hand you can see is what it turns out like on skin! I was to scared to try it out on my hand let alone my face, so I don't think i will be trying out this product very often! If i feel daring one day then maybe but at the moment i think i might just stick to my blusher, bronzer and lipstick! You can buy this product for £5.50 at www.mememecosmetics.co.uk. IF YOU WANT £5 OFF THE LITTLE-ANGELS-COLLECTION COMMENT BELOW AND I'LL GIVE YOU THE CODE.


I have heard great reviews about this product BUT my nails are long already and i just am one of those lucky ones who don't need to wear fake nails! The packaging is super creative though! I will be doing a giveaway soon when my blog followers pick up and this will be apart of it! You can buy these from boots at £7.99.


This is one of the product i received which i will be doing a review on! So stay peeled for that! But this is a Multi-Vit Smoothie Serum, which is supposed to soothe redness and hydrate skin! You can also seemingly mix it with liquid foundation to create a bb cream! But, I'll be the judge of that! You can buy a 50ml bottle for £22.50 from www.premaeskincare.com/shop. I HAVE A 15% CODE FOR PRODUCTS JUST COMMENT BELOW.


This is the final product in the Glossy Box reveal/review and this is the other product i can't review until later on this month! This is the Monu Illuminating primer and you can use this a primer before applying make up or just using it as a tinted moisturiser. This is £24.95 for a 50ml bottle and you can purchase this from www.monushop.co.uk. I HAVE A 10% CODE, COMMENT BELOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE IT.

August 2013 - Glossy box review

Here's my August Glossy Box review, finally up! Been very busy the past few weeks so expect loads of new blogs in the next week.


Jelly Pong Pong

This has been my favourite product for the last month. This is an eyeliner and shadow but so far i've only used it as a liner as that's what i use on a day to day basis. I'm never going back to another eye liner again! This stays on most the day for me and i only need to apply it twice throughout the day. This is a must have beauty product and i'd definitely try it out! It's £10.50 on there website.




Emite eyelash curlers

I never use eye lash curlers. It's something i have never got into so the past month i've tried my hardest to fit it into my daily make up routine. I had these really cheap pair from Tesco and i always used to think, 'oh, eye lash curlers are all the same'. I completely disagree now! These are amazing, and they should be at the price of £20! They do wonders to my eye lashes and i see such a difference now using these as well. Even if you don't buy these exact ones, just splash out a little and buy a good pair. They will last you ages and you will love your lashes!


TRESemme keratin smooth

Straight away i did notice a difference. Not a huge difference but a slightly. I'm going to go out and purchase more though and see if it will do wonders to my hair! It's cheap to buy at £1.49. I'll do a run up blog about this product in the next few months as i'm hoping this is the treatment my hair needs!


Oceane Make up Remover Stick.

Love the idea of this product and i have used it a lot so far for the bits of smudged make up under my eyes, but.. using a cotton bud and make up remover does the exact same job. It makes me sad as i had such high hopes about this product! I'd be lying if i said i loved it but i'm not going to lie to you guys as after all my beauty blog is all honesty!


Urban Veda Day Cream

I can't stop using this stuff. I'm actually starting to run out of it now so i might need to pop back online and purchase more! It just makes my skin feel AMAZING. My skin is pretty bad as well and i have noticed a remarkable difference and my skin feels so much healthier! It's 7.99 for a larger bottle. Definitely try it out on there website!


Much love. Karina xoxo

Glossybox, August 2013

So this month was my first month receiving a GlossyBox! I was so excited about it, but also a little nervous as i had a heard a few people say it was a waste of money and it wasn't all the fantastic! But, i thought i'd go for it and see myself if it's worth it or not! This is not a review. This is me showing you what i received, then the start of September i will be doing a review on the products!


August 2013 box


Jelly Pong Pong eye pencil

When i first opened this, this is what i was instantly drawn to! I am so excited to try this out! Not only is it a eye pencil but it's also a shadow stick! You can buy these online on the jelly pong pong website at £10.50.



Emite eye lash curlers 

These are so beautiful and i can't wait to try them out! I am a little scared of eye lash curlers! (i'm not the only one right!?) but i was going to buy some so these saved me some money! You can buy these on Emite's website and these are £20.


TRESemme Keratin Smooth hair treatment 

This was a weird one! I was going to buy this in Tesco a week before i got this Glossybox, so i was so happy when i seen this in it! I can't wait to test it and see if it actually works! This is £1.49 in highstreet stores!


Oceane make up remover pen

I was the most excited about this product! It is so unusual and id never heard of anything like it before! I'm most excited about reviewing this the most! It's not yet available in the UK, but when it is, i'll let you guys know!


Urban Veda Skincare

This is a daily radiance cream which i'm hoping to stick to! It says it brightens up your face and balances skin tones! But i'll be the judge of that! You get these on there website and start from £7.99 a bottle!


I can't wait to review these for you guys! The blog will be up in the next 2 weeks! Enjoy!

Karina xoxo
