January Glossybox

Today was a special day...ok no it wasn't...it was just an ordinary Monday until my January Glossybox arrived and gave me some excitement:) Also dubbed the "Valentines Box" hence the cute hot pink packaging.
Must say im liking the effort GlossyBox make with their packaging, red for christmas...pink for valentines:)




So i carefully unwrapped it as always (Im never sure why but i always do it so carefully) and this time i havent seen any spoiler reviews so all of it was a complete surprise. Anddd surprise indeed...! 2 Clarins products yeyyyy:)
Right so complete list from left to right.

MURAD Hybrids Skin Perfecting primer - dewy finish (my favourite kind i must add)

Clarins Extra Firming Day Cream

Clarins Extra Firming Night Cream

FAB Body Moisturiser

Eyeko Skinny Eyeliner - Plum




I have to say Glossybox have delivered a fab box once again, i cant wait to try all of the products and they are all from brands that i have heard of. I have to say since the arrival of beauty boxes in my life i haven't needed to buy any night creams in a while!
Im pretty happy to try out primers as im still searching for the perfect one so fingers crossed.

This next bit are for those amongst you umming and aahing about whether a beauty box is worth it. Well for £12.95 yes it can be hit and miss however the last few boxes i have received have all been great. Novembers Glossybox was a shocker and i think they massively took on board peoples comments and upped their game especially with newer boxes like Carmine hot on their heels.
The maths bit....(ive worked out what each product is worth taking in to account some are deluxe sample sizes)



Total box worth is £45.63.
So are you getting your moneys worth....yes!!!x

Shiny Disco Balls

Glitters back, nail arts back....I feel 18 all over again. Found these mooching around boots and felt the old days bursting back into life:)



I've used both these glittery polishes on top of a coral-red for my pedicure. Super pleased with results:)
Anybody else loving glitter and nail art?xx

A Sunday thought...

I found this picture online and had to share it with you all..


It makes sense....x

Bourjois Vintage Collection

Ive had these cute vintage style Bourjois shadows in my drawer for a while so thought it was time to dust them off and put them to good use! I love the packaging with cute stickers on top.



The colours as you can see are all simple and neutral so basically my favourite kind!



Swatched.



The colours are all smooth and easy to work with, not crazily pigmented but still fresh and pretty. These are all perfect for daytime wear at work or summer days.x

Loreal False Lash Telescopic Mascara

Tadaaaa! The new Loreal Mascara endorsed by the gorgeous Cheryl Cole. As soon as I heard this of course I ran as fast as my little legs could carry me to my nearest boots and bought it:)
Ok that was a lie...I drove.




Does anything this girl touches not turn to gold?! Look if it's good enough for Chezza im prepared to give it a whirl.



Yes that's right ladies I'll toss aside that YSL Faux Cils (sniff sniff) to give this beauty a chance.
I'll be sure to review super soon. I can't promise I'll look like this while applying but I'll sure try:)
(cute how she applies with her mouth open...we all do!...see she's normal too)



Have a fab weekend ladies x

Powder Booster for Hair!

This little bottle of promised heaven was mentioned in a beauty haul ages ago! So thought it was about time I reviewed it:)




So it's like a talcum powder you put in your roots and basically it's back combing in a bottle!!




Does it do what it says?...yes. It definitely volumised roots and is great for big messy hair. It does have a matte finish so it's not a big thick glossy locks look. I have to say I didn't like the way this felt in my hair it was slightly tacky. I prefer using good ol fashioned batiste in my roots to give me that extra volume.
I'd say it's a preference thing, this works but would definitely need washing out of your hair after a night out. It's £11.50 a bottle and would last you forever. Do I use this regularly....no. However if I had an up do that needed extreme backcombing I would then use and reccomend this for sure x

Bargain bag!

Ok so this isn't beauty related! However occasionally I'll do the odd fashion post too:) I have to admit I'm a bit of a handbag diva but still enjoy admiring high street beauties and my friend bought this bag the other day. I couldn't believe how pretty it was and expensive looking...



This beauty was....drumroll please....£8 from Primark. It's super soft to touch yet has shape to it if that makes sense. Perfect for work or college. Anybody else got any great high street finds?x
