May Glossybox

So sorry I have been neglecting my blog lately but I haven't felt up to it the past few weeks but that is a different post altogether. I'm feeling a lot better now so hopefully my blog will start to be more consistent. My May Glossybox arrived last week so I have had some time to try the products out. It was Glossybox's 2nd birthday box so I was hoping the box would be different but it was just the usual pale pink, Inside however had a lovely birthday design on the tissue paper and a neon pink bow.

 

The First thing I noticed in the box was the extra gift which I love! It is a handy card pouch with 20 mini pull out nail files in. These have already come in handy numerous times this week and it is probably my favourite thing in the box.

 

 

Next is a mascara by Jelly Pong Pong, in the past I haven't really been a fan of the Jelly Pong Pong products that I have received but I was pleased to get a mascara to try. The mascara retails at £15 and it is a full size sample which has paid for my box alone. It is an okay mascara but not great, I've tried better ones but I'm still happy to have gotten it.

 

 

Next was a lovely nail polish by Headline Colours which retails at £9. I got a beautiful mint colour. It dries really quickly and I would consider buying more of their polishes.

 

 

The last 3 products in the box where a shine spray by Awapuhi Wild Ginger, a liquid liner by Collection and a sample of Prime and create mixing medium by Beautiful Movements Cosmetics. The shine spray is full size retailing at £18.95 which has made the Glossybox well worth the money this month. I love shine sprays and this one can also be used as a protectant, it does make your hair really shiny and I'm really pleased with this product. The liquid liner by Collection is one that I have had before and do use regularly. The last product which is the prime and create mixing medium by pussycat doll Kimberly Wyatt's beauty range and is one that I am curious to try, it can be used to create your own liquid makeup whether it be foundation, cream blush or cream eye shadows and more. The sample isn't very big but it will be good to see what it can be used for.

 

 

Overall I was very happy with this months box and the total of the box came to £45.94 which made It really good value for money.

April Glossybox

My Glossybox came this morning so I thought I would do a post about it, I think every time I get a Glossybox I will share what I got. I was excited for this box to come because it is the Pearl Lowe edition box. I love the look of this box it is so pretty and is definitely going to replace the ordinary pink one I have on my vanity.

 

 

 

So when I opened my box the first two things that jumped out at me where the Essie polish and the Illamasqua pencil. I don't own either of these brands and I was praying that the polish was "bikini so teeny" and it was! I was over the moon that I got the shade I have oggled in Superdrug for such a long time. I was curious of the Illamasqua pencil because I know it is an expensive brand in my eyes so I was happy to receive something that I would never purchase. The pencil is multipurpose for eyes, lips and brows, I got medium brown which I will be using for my brows.

 

 

 

Next was a perfume by Yves Rocher called So Elixir Purple, I'm not keen on getting perfume samples because usually they are those crappy little samples on a card. This one was so cute because it is a miniature of the full size bottle and it smells really nice (I'm not good at describing scents sorry)

 

 

The last two products are a hand cream and a body butter which I am not too fussed about. The hand cream is by Crabtree & Evelyn and is called Somerset Meadow Hand Therapy, it is a nice thick formula and smells nice so it will probably get used and the body butter by Nip+Fab is called Pistachio Sundae. I am not really keen on this fragrance as it is sickly but I'm sure my mam will take it off my hands.

 

 

So overall I am happy with my April Glossybox. Even better still I redeemed my glossydots so I got it for free!

My Favourite Spring Polishes

This spring I have three favourite nail polishes, I am in love with all the pastel shades this season.

 

 Two of the polishes are by Nails Inc. They are one of my favourite Polish brands and I love how their polishes are named after places in London. The first one is a neon shade called Portobello which is a neon coral. This one would be lovely for summer also.

 

 Next by Nails Inc. is a new trend shade called Royal Botanical Gardens and it is the perfect mint shade. It just reminds me of spring and mint is my favourite colour at the moment (if you couldn't tell by my blog) and it reminds me of mint ice cream (maybe because of the sticker on the lid?). This is the most worn of the three, I just love it!!

 

 

 Lastly is a Revlon nail enamel called Lilac Pastelle the name is self explanatory its lilac and its pastelle! I think I won this nail polish in a Youtube giveaway by Vinny littlemissstyleguru (you should subscribe to her on youtube she's fab!)
