April Glossybox Review ♥

Hi beaut's!

So its that time again... Glossy box time!!! This month we have the 'Spring Preening' box, a Spring theme that sees Glossy box help us refresh our beauty regime from finishing touches to exciting new beauty innovations! I'm actually happier with this months contents than last months, theres four full size products and only one sample this time around and everything inside my box I'll certainly use which is always a good thing! I am still considering changing beauty boxes for a little while though or even cancelling because I feel Glossy box isn't quite as good as it used to be, so if you have any beauty box recommendations please do let me know!

Next Make Me Beautiful Lip Chubby Stick in Cherry Red | Full Size | £8.00

Firstly this month I have the Make Me Beautiful Lip Chubby Stick in Cherry Red by Next! I've given this a whirl and I love the formula, it feels so moisturising on the lips just like a lip balm and is so pigmented just like a lipstick! I would certainly buy one of these if they have more everyday, wearable shades as the Cherry Red is very intense but all in all I was pleasantly surprised by this!  

Leighton Denny Expert Nails Miracle Mist | Full Size | £12.00

Next up I have the Leighton Denny Expert Nails Miracle Mist, I'm so excited to try this because it claims to make your nail polish dry to the touch in mere seconds and if theres one thing I hate it's waiting for nail polish to dry so if this works I'll be super impressed!

Studio 10 Brow Lift Perfecting Liner | Full Size | £22.00

Then I have the Studio 10 Brow Lift Perfecting Liner, this double ended brow pencil comes equipped with a defining brow shade at one end and a brightening highlighter shade at the other to really help sculpt out those brows! I must admit I'm definitely more of a brow powder girl but I'm up for trying something new so will be sure to give this a whirl!

Swiss Smile Whitening Toothpaste | Full Size | £28.95

Firstly when did toothpaste become a 'thing' in beauty boxes and secondly this tube is worth a whopping £28.95, yup that's right £28.95 for toothpaste my goodness!!!! I've been using this whitening toothpaste ever since I got it in my box and it does the job, as for the whitening aspect I cant really comment as of yet as I'm guessing that will happen over time but for the price I'm expecting a bright white smile very soon!

The Body Shop Oils Of Life | Sample | Full Size £28.00

Lastly this month I got a sample of The Body Shop Oils Of Life Intensely Revitalising Facial Oil, this is actually Body Shops best selling oil and claims to totally revive our complexion, I've been using this before bed since I got my box and it does give my face a dose of moisture and makes my skin soooo soft so I'll definitely be using all of this up!

What did you think of this month's box beaut's? I'd love to know.

April Glossybox Review | The Iconic Hollywood Edition

Hey beaut's!

So its that time again... Glossybox time!!! This month I was sooooo excited to receive my box, we all knew it was going to be an Iconic Hollywood themed box and that just screams to me elegant and timeless beauty. Glossybox used Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn as their inspiration for the contents of our boxes and their makeup is something Ive always been in awe of, so I couldn't wait to receive some beauty products to help me create their iconic looks. The collectors edition box actually came in four different pastel shades, I got the mint green version which I love and all the boxes came with a cute quote written inside the lid which I think was a nice touch. I must admit the contents this month wasn't as amazing as previous boxes I've had but I'll certainly get use out of most of the products so it's not all bad.

 Anywhoo lets see what I received inside my April Iconic Hollywood Glossybox...

Lord & Berry Lipstick Pencil in Kiss | Full Size | £10.00

Firstly we have the Lord & Berry Lipstick Crayon in Kiss, this is something that everyone received in their boxes this month and really helps achieve that classic red lip that Marilyn Monroe always rocked. 

POP Beauty Kajal Eyeliner Pen in Sooty Black | Full Size | £6.50 

Next we have a Kajal eyeliner pencil by POP Beauty, I must admit I do love a good black eyeliner for the waterline so I'll definitely be using this up. As well as using this eye pencil on the water liner you can also use it to create that Elizabeth Taylor iconic cat eye on your upper lash line and you can use the little smudger to create a smouldering smokey eye, ohhh I do love a good multi use product.

Color Club Nail Polish in Barely There | Full Size | £4.50 

Nude nails are a key trend for this Spring so it seems quite fitting that I got one in my box. I must admit I've never been a huge fan of nude nail polish on my nails personally but it will come in handy for any nail art I may do in the future when I need something nude.

Astral Original Face and Body Moisturiser | Sample | £2.64 for 200ml

The first sample in my box this month was this little pot of Astral. Astral is a versatile rich moisturising cream that's been a firm favourite amongst Hollywood stars and makeup artists since the 1950's, yup this little beauty has been around for yonkssss! I actually remember my mum using this when I was younger and she loved it so hopefully I will too he he.

IDC Scented Garden (Warm Lavender) Body Lotion | Sample | €4.98 for 780ml

And lastly my second sample product this month is a luxury body lotion from IDC Institute, unfortunately I got the Warm Lavender scent which I hate so I'll be passing this on to my Mum or a friend so this is a little bit of a let down product for me.


 What did you think of this month's box beaut's?? I'd love to know.

April Glossybox Review ♥

Hey beaut's!!!

So its that time again... Glossybox time!!! I loved my Glossybox last month, I thought the variety of the products was great and it was nice to see a mixture of high end and high street products too so I was looking forward to seeing if Glossybox had kept up the good work with this months box. This months box is called 'Sweet Treats' and is all about helping us make that beauty transition into Summer! Glossybox say that the beauty heroes inside this months box will become our handbag essentials for the warmer months ahead, ohhh!

So lets see what 'sweet treats' I received inside my April Glossybox...

Emite Make Up Lip Brush-L312 £17.00

So lets start this months run down with the Emite Lip Brush, I don't think I've ever received a makeup brush in a Glossybox before so this is a first for me however... we did see the Emite Eyelash Curlers last year and if you remember rightly mine turned up broken in my box and they never got replaced (sad face), that aside, I do really like this little lip brush. I must admit I rarely use a lip brush but that's because my lip brush I already own is rubbish. Emite's Lip Brush actually looks and feels lovely, I love the fact that it's an angled Lip Brush as it will be great for creating the perfect cupids bow shape to your top lip with those tricky to apply dark lipsticks.

MeMeMe Cosmetics Beat the Blues-Pearl Pink £5.50

Ohh the Benefit High Beam dupe... I have to say MeMeMe have got it spot on with this, it really is pretty, and I honestly cant tell the difference between MeMeMe's offering and the higher end option from Benefit. I have put this in my makeup bag already and will be using it everyday from now on to highlight with, it's so perfect for spring/summer and you can even mix it with your foundation for that ultimate luminous, dewy glow. Also Glossybox have added a nice little touch by giving us a 20% off MeMeMe code on our product description card, woohoo!

TRESemmé Instant Refresh Cleansing Dry Shampoo 100ml

I was so happy to see this in my box as I've heard lots of good things about TRESemmé's dry shampoo so I'm looking forward to giving it a whirl. The dry shampoo itself claims to absorb excess oil, instantly revives your hair whilst also adding a touch of volume...ohh I love abit of volume he he. I've given the dry shampoo a spritz already just to see what it smells like and it's lovely, just like freshly washed hair. This isn't the full size though, it's what I'd call handbag size he he, so its great for on the go too.

He-Shi Professional Tanning Face & Body Gel £7.95

With summer on it's way soon (we hope) I do think this He-Shi Tanning Gel is a nice little addition to my box, even more so if your boyfriend/partner likes to be bronzed as well as this self tanner is for him and her. I must admit I am a little bit afraid of self tanners and always stick to my trusty Cocoa Brown Tan as I know where I stand with that, but I have heard good things about He-Shi so I'm definitely going to give this bad boy a go. Also just like the added bonus of the discount on MeMeMe, Glossybox have added a 25% off discount code on any He-Shi purchases on our product description card, ohhh I love a good ole discount!

MONU Spa Warming Ginger Massage & Body Oil 30ml 

Uhh the only thing I don't like about this months box is this body oil from MONU. Don't get me wrong, I love MONU as a brand and every skincare product I've ever used from them I love but body oil's really aren't my thing, however... I do like the fact that you can add a couple of drops of this oil into your bath to relax your body whilst moisturising your skin at the same time, so I think I'll be using my little sample up that way instead.

Overall I'm really happy with this months box, just like last month theres a variety of high end and high street which I like and we have some full size products in there as well which is always a bonus, even the samples are good sizes apart from the body oil which I'm not hugely fussed about, as like I said before, I'm not a huge fan. I'm excited for next months box already, even ,ore so now that I've read in the Glossy Magazine that the May box features a very exciting collaboration, ooohhh???

What did you think of this month's box beaut's?? I'd love to know.
