Glossy Box August

So I don't want to start another post off, with me apologising for my lack of content this month. If you are curious to where I have been I might do a post about all of that.

Anyway moving onto the post, as every month comes by I get excited for the day that the Glossy Box gets dropped at my front door. As many of you know (if you don't check out my post) last months box was amazing. The packaging and the content were just really well designed and put together.

Its back to the original packaging again, there is not much to say about the packaging with out repeating previous posts.

As usual you get a leaflet inside with a lot of information about the products you have received and useful tips about how to use the products. In this leaflet there was a beauty insider section about Rachel Kavanagh (CEO, GLOSSYBOX UK). She was given 5 questions which she has answered. This box was called High-flyers, and all of the products in the box are from various place. Such as UK, USA, Brazil and Sweden

I know what you are all reading this for and thinking get on with it what did you get?

I got 5 products close ups and detail below.

Juicy Couture - Viva La Juicy Noir

This perfume, is lovely its very sweet smelling. I would say its quite a young scent and probably not to everyone's taste. I personally love it but that's just me. I received a 1.5 ml  bottle which to be honest isn't that much but its enough to for a couple of uses. I don't think I would purchase the full size of this product just because of the price and the fact that I'm not totally blown away by the product.

Product of USA

Oceane - Make up remover

This is basically a little 'felt tip pen' type of make up remover. My personal opinion on this product is that I think it looks a little cheap. It doesn't looks very nice and without sounding awful it looks like something you could pick it up in a pound store. It comes with 4 tips that are all reversible.

This product is not currently available to buy in the UK 

Product of Brazil

Emite Make Up - Eyelash Curler

I was very excited to receive this product its obviously a 'full size' product. I love this colours the effects. I just totally adore this product. I have ditched my old eyelash curlers and these have taken their place.

Product of Sweden

TRESemme - Platinum strength concentrated treatment shot

I wasn't totally blown away by receiving this product, I used it the night I got the box and I don't believe that it did a whole lot of good for my hair. But maybe its my hair type I don't know.

Product of USA

Jelly Pong Pong - 2in1 Shadow/liner

I love this product when I received the box I swatched it and it looked amazing so creamy and pigmented. It looks like a brilliant product and I cant wait to create a look with this product.

Under Construction

You may have noticed that I have made a few changes to my blog, I am trying to create a space online that reflects my personality more than it did before. You may need to bare with me as there may be a few changes. But I promise you it will all be back and running smoothly soon and looking better than ever!

Whilst I'm writing this I thought I would give you a few updates.

I am currently really busy between working two jobs and studying, I have been trying to keep on top of everything and yes it is paying of. If there is a lack of posts then you know why. I have a lot of posts lined up. I still have posts to go up about my weekend in London so keep your eyes peeled as they are likely to go up with in the next few days.

Many thanks for reading.

July Favourites

Before I start this post, where has July gone!! This year is wizzing by.

I have a few July favourites, but to be totally honest with you I haven't really used any different products because all of the products I do use are brilliant for me.

These are a few of the nail polishes I have been loving this month, they are all super bright and colourful. I love to wear bright colours especially in summer. I know there are a lot of shades, but I have generally been loving them all and couldn't choose just one.

Top to bottom

Collection - 59 Look At Me

Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine 305 Green Berry

Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Prickly Pear (i think)

Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine 303 Pomegranate

Schwarzkopf got2be Beach matt

I love this product I have really long hair and when I don't have a lot of time you can just spray this in your hair whether it's wet or dry it works. I love this it gives you beachy waves, it makes your waves look really defined and tousled. Its such a quick effortless way to make your hair look LOVELY!!

Garnier eye roll on, not sure on shade.

I have had this product for ages, but I totally forgot I had it. You may think that the way I use this product is very weird. But instead of using this as a under eye roll on I use this as a light foundation. Because the weather has been so lovely I haven't wanted to wear a huge amount of make up especially foundation as it just makes you feel like your about to melt even more. This product is so unbelievable light on the skin. It still covers up those nasty red blemishes though! I love this soo much and no doubt I will continue to love it until the end of summer.

Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer in shade 103 True Ivory

I love this, i use this as a under eye concealer and sometimes on the odd blemish or two. This had light to medium coverage and its perfect for those no make up make up days. It makes you looks super awake and makes you under eyes look a lot brighter.

EOS Lip Balm In Strawberry Sorbet

This product has been my life saver this month, as I have said it has been super warm. I still get really dehydrated lips and this has saved me, I believe it contains a SPF of either 8-15 I'm not 100% but Its lovely It tastes good smells good and does a good job. Couldn't be any better if you ask me.

thanks for reading don't forget to leave me a comment and tell me the things that you have been loving this July. Or if you have a July favourites post feel free to leave the link in the comments and I will be sure to check it out.

Glossy Box July

So I know that this is being posted at the end of the month so I did contemplate not posting it, but then I thought that I would just post it anyway.

This has probably been my most exciting box so far, the box is amazing and wonderfully designed and all the products are just perfect for summer!

 I LOVE EVERYTHING!!

This box excites me a lot, its so simply designed but because it was out of the ordinary I loved it!

This box goes perfectly with my room so it will defiantly be displayed

1 - Anatomicals Spray misty for me facial spritz
I have to admit I have been using this, In the UK we have been having some lovely weather. When its hot and sweaty this is perfect, Its so cooling and it smells like lavender. Its a  perfect relaxing cooling face mist. PERFECT for summer. I'm so glad that this was in my glossy box total life saver.
You can buy this product here for £6.00

2 - Alterna Haircare Bamboo Style Boho Waves Tousled Texture Mist

This is another product which is perfect for summer, If you have just got out of the shower, sea or pool you can simply spray this into your hair and it will give you those 'beachy waves look' I love this product as I naturally have a slight wave to my hair and this just enhances the curl making them look a lot more defined.

You can buy this product here for £23.00

3 - Essie Sleek Sticks (05 a to zebra)

I'm not sure how I feel about these nail strips, I have used them before and loved them. But now I'm just not too excited about the idea of putting stickers on my nails. If I ever use them I am likely to do a blogpost on them and how I got on with them.

You can buy them here for £9.99

4 - Sleek Pout Paint (pink is shade rosette) (white is shade cloud 9)

I love these, they are basically lip stains. It does say that a little goes along way, they are extremely pigmented which makes them show a lot of colour with a very small amount of product. When I first got the white shade, I was very confused as I defiantly wasn't going to wear a white lip stain then it clicked. Mixing them both together to create a light shade of pink. I am very excited to make my own little mixture.

You can buy these here for £4.99

5- Coola Organic Suncare Collection 

The is not much really to say about this sunscreen, Its got a SPF of 20 and the producer recommends that you apply this every 2 hours.

You can buy this here for £29.99

Thanks very much for reading

OOTN #2

So over the weekend was my brothers 21st birthday, he didn't want anything big so we as a family we all went out for a meal to celebrate it. As I was going out and dressing nicely I thought I would do a outfit of the night.

I went for a really simple look, I didn't want to dress up too much as it wasn't that sort of evening it was a very casual night.

Dress - H&M - £12.99

Shoes - Primark £3.50

I love this outfit you could wear this to a smart event and dress it up more with a pair of heels. You could also wear it to the beach or casually shopping or something. This dress is very handy!

Nail colour OPI - You Don't Know Jacques! 

Star fish ring - H&M £3.99

Heart ring on little finger - Ring was a gift

Two layered ring I bought from Camden market a couple of months ago!

Thank you for reading
