sorrysorrysorry!

Sorry, I have not posted for a while, I have been on holiday/vacation so have not had time to post!

Anyway, this post is not beauty related and is about a book I have been obsessing over lately..


The Hunger Games Trilogy

oh wow, where do I start, these books are amazing! If you have not seen the film I would definitely read the books before as they are much more detailed! I have not seen the film as I am waiting until they all come out - the suspense would kill me!

Have you read the books? What do you think of them?

anywayy new post #1


A few nights ago a bat flew into my room having left the window open because it was hot. a bat. i mean seriously. a bat. which is strange seeing as I live in London. so yeah there I was screaming at 3;o'clock in the morning while a bat flew around my room in circles. It took me+my dad at least 20 minutes to get it out using a towel. so yeah, interesting story right?;)

Glossy Box June 2012

WAZZAPPPP:p 

Sorry this is a bit late! I've been so busy! (You may notice my photos are better! WOW Instagram is the best woo)  soo, I recieved my Glossy Box yesterday (Tuesday 19th June) and was VERY excited however to be honest I was not entirely pleased, wanna know why?... keep reading!

You all know what it looks like...oh well:)

The menu type thingy;p

Agent Provocateur Eua de Toilette Collection (Full size, £39.00/50ml)

Includes 3 Samples

From L-R  Agent Provocateur Maitresse ,  Agent provocateur L'Agent and Agent Provocateur

I was quite annoyed when I recieved these perfumes because I also recieved 2 perfume samples last month (see 'Glossy Box May 2012'). Apart from this I do like these perfumes, the pink one is probably my least favourite as it is quite strong and overpowering. The other two smell nice but they are not exactly my style. Sorry I'm not very good at describing scents so ill just say they're nice and you'll have to trust me!

Vichy Dermablend Ultra-Corrective Foundation Cream Stick (Fullsize £19.00/12g)

oooo

Shades: row 1 from L-R Nude, Porcelain, Row 2 from L-R Sand, Opal, Row 3 from L-R Bronze, Light

Personally, this is what I was really annoyed about because, there are 6 different shades of concealer in this sample and to be honest my skin colour only fits one of them...so what am i supposed to do with the rest? Another thing is that there is not much product to test out even if your skin colour suits all samples! Very disappointed.

Glossy Box Serie Exclusive Pro Beauty Brush (£15.00 each)

This blusher/bronzer brush is one of the few products actually made by Glossy Box. It is made using goat hair for 'a supersoft application'. This brush has a nice handle making it easy to hold. This brush however does not feel especially soft or comforting but the bristles are good for blending. I would not buy this brush because it is not exactly 'soft' or 'smooth' and the price is a bit high for a brush like this.

Yves Rocher France Mini Mascara Ultra-Volume Sexy Pulp (Fullsize £16.90/9ml)

wow just look at the brush!

This mascara is probably one of the best I have ever used! Its brush is huggeeee and specifically shaped to suit your lashes! I actually can't explain how much I love it! Its a bit pricey at £16.90 a go but totally worth it!

BM Beauty Summer Warmth Bronzer (Fullsize £8.00/4g)

This bronzer is quite cheap at £8.00 and is definatly worth it! It is VERY golden and looks very nice if applied with the right amount! However can go extremely wrong if too much is applied! Not really much else   I can say about this bronzer, it has a nice consistency and feels very light on your skin!

So that is everything i got in my Glossy Box June 2012! As i said I was not entirely pleased with this but there were some things I would use!

What did you get in your Glossy Box?

Weleda Wild Rose Night Cream - May 2012 Glossy box

Weleda Wild Rose Night Cream

This product was featured in the May 2012 Glossy box! This product is a really nice night cream! It feels lovely on your skin! Personally i do not like the smell but many people have commented on how they like the smell, its a very rosey smell however its a bit too strong for me!

Glossy Box May 2012

Literally screamed at the delivery lady when my Glossy box came! YES!!! Keep on scrolling to see pictures, swatches&reviews! This month is the 1 year anniversary of Glossy box so as well as getting the 5 products, i also received a mirror&balloon:). I apologise for the bad photos, my camera is not working at the moment!

Lolita Lempicka Perfumes 

The Eau en Blanc - Limited Edition 30ml £45.90

Eau de Parfum 30ml £45.90

<---This perfume has a very strong smell with fruity aspects. This tester comes in a 0.8ml bottle. On the packet it is described as being like a 'bouquet  of White Violets with a hint of raspberry and musk,' I would completely agree with this description! It is a nice scent but not really my style, will not be purchasing this product.







The other fragrance is her first and smells very sweet, i prefer this scent to the other one personally because I didn't like the floral aspects of the previous one. 'An enchanting floral, clear and sensual, a heady necter of licorice flower,' personally would not agree with this as I cannot smell the 'licorice flower,' Once again I will not be purchasing this product in the future.




Collection 2000 Lasting Colour gel eyeliner in teal

This eyeliner is £4.99 and comes in Teal, Gold, Brown and Black. This is a lovely eyeliner, it is really pigmented and shows the colour well, it also includes a brush perfect for under/above your eyes. Definatly recommend this if don't like using pencils!

Noble Isle Bath and shower gel in Summer Rising 75ml

Sorry about the bad photos! Anyway the 250ml version of this is £20.00! It smells delicious and feels lovely on your skin! Would recommend this for people with sensitive skin! Would definitely buy this if it was much cheaper but may splurge on a rainy day! 

HD Brows: Brow beater

This brow brush is £3.90 and does a great job at keeping your brows in shape! It has sort of wirey/fabric bristles to comb your brows in the shape you want! Great product as before I was using a old mascara brush!

Weleda Wildrose Night Cream

This product is a night time face cream! Sorry couldn't find the price! I have not used this product as I have very sensitive skin and at the moment am using a great cream! I will write a review on this as soon as possible!

What was your favourite product this month?:-)

Glossy Box

Think i will defiantly have to invest in the 'Glossy Box' after @Zoella posted about the April box! Looks great and has some amazing products! For those of you who don't know what a Glossy Box is, its basically a box with 5 samples of beauty products from high-end and rarely seen shops. These products cost £10(in UK) per month +p&p. They also send the box as a gift; a great present for birthdays, anniversary's and Valentines day. They even do a Glossy Box for men;-)!  Have a look at the website! You will be amazed at the brands they include and price of the monthly product! This months Glossy Box included products that are eco-friendly and from sustainable sources! It even had a 100% bio-degradable box! 

April's box included a 

-'Caudalie Vinosource S.O.S Thirst Quenching Serum'  

-'Inika Cosmetics Certified Organic Lip Liner'

-'Ayuuri Natural Body Wash'

-'Figs And Rouge Lip Balm' 

-'Philip B Styling Jel'

MAC Lipstick in PLINK!

My new MAC lipstick in 'Plink!' number A12. Not my favourite MAC lipstick but still nice! A pinky neutral colour with orange undertones with a little bit of glitter in! Makes your lips feel very moisturised and lasts ages! 

Would recommend this is going for a neutral look but still want a bit of colour!
