♡GLOSSYBOX MAY 2013!♡

Hey Guys!

 

 Recently I have been hearing a lot about Glossyboxes from well know fashion/beauty YouTubers and bloggers and wanted to know what all the hype was about, so I ordered one myself! I received my box just a few days ago and have been itching to blog about it ever since. First of all the price of just one of these boxes is a small £10  + postage and packaging charges, which I think is very affordable especially for 5 products. You can pre-pay for your boxes from 3 months ahead to 12 but as it was my first time to order a glossybox I only purchased one. I really like the idea of paying a small sum of money for samples, and sometimes full sizes, of high-end and highstreet beauty products. If you're like me and don't like paying such a ridiculous price for high-end beauty products, this scheme is definitely for you. Glossybox allows you to try and test the newest and most exciting beauty products, and also keeps you up-to-date with the latest trends.

 

 

When it arrived I was shocked by how pretty the box was and couldn't wait to open it! The inside was also pakaged beautifully. Hereis a picture of the inside of the box, and the goodies inside!

 

Caudalie - Divine Oil
 

 As I have never tried a oil before I was really excited about this product. You are able to use this super-hydrating oil on your body, face and hair and is sold for full price at £4.05 (15ml).

L'occitane En Provence - Angelica Hydrating Cream
 

I was desperately in need of a new moisturizer and this was a god send! I am really excited about this and can't wait to try it out. This cream is said to leave the skin looking 'plumped, smoothed and absolutely radiant' which I'm hoping is true! For the full size of this product (50ml) it is £30 , which is expensive but  might just be worth it.

Beautiful Movements Cosmetics - Prime & Create Mixing Medium
 

 

This primer is an addition to former Pussy Cat Doll Kimberly Wyatt's range of beauty products. Like all of the other products, I have never heard of this product before.

Jelly Pong Pong - Fairy Lashes Mascara

 

 

As funny as the name sounds, I think this mascara is going to be one of my favorites! As my Benefit They're Real! mascara is coming to an end I was hoping I would find a mascara inside this box. This mascara is waterproof, which is always a bonus but a bit of a pain to get off, and I think is actually full size, 8ml (worth £15). Again a product which I can't wait to try out!

Headline Colours Nail Varnish - Twisted Silk
 

First of all the colour of this nail varnish is amazing, I am really loving the nude/pastel colours at the moment and I think they are perfect for pring and summer! This nail polish is full sized (10ml) which is worth £9, I have already tested this product and is very pigmented with just one coat, but it's advised to give two coats on the nails. I have never tried a nail varnish from Headline Colours before and can't wait to give them a go!

I think I will be ordering a glossybox again and can't wait to discover new products! Hope you enjoyed reading this blog post and inspired you to order one for yourself, I highly recommend it!

♡OOTN - Pyjama Trousers♡

Hi guys,

It seems like forever since we last blogged and we do appologise! We're both studying our AS levels and stressed is an understatement! Exams really do suck, I'm sure we can all agree on that, but we're back and we've got so much to catch up on!

 

S: Last Night I attended the local town hall to watch a amature dramatic play and thought this outfits was perfect. 

It's a smart/casual look but so comfy with the baggy pyjama trousers. I've layered a lace tee tied into a knot over a mesh cropped top to give the outfit some texture and transparent detail and the accessories definitely give the look a splash of colour.

 

Long sleeved mesh cropped top: New Look

Short sleeved lace tee: H&M

Pyjama trousers: Topshop

Envelope clutch: H&M

Flatform sandals: Topshop

Floral Crown: New Look

 

 

 

However I feel the floral crown is the highlight in this outfit. Bringing the hippy look to a classic sleek oufit balanced the flower power against the dark shades and the pale flowers so a great job of complimenting the blonde colours in my hair.

 

 

 

Lipstick choice:

 

Rimmel London: Lasting Finish by Kate Moss: Shade 101

 

A natural pink shade by my favourite lipstick brand which is a soft, subtle tone and very versatile. 

Hope you enjoyed the outfit guys!
