Glossybox 3rd Birthday

Glossybox is celebrating their 3rd birthday with a lovely matte looking box. The Glossy team kept the pastel pink shade but replaced the shiny glossy cover on their box. I have kept almost all of my boxes for storage - they are really cute, especially if there is a theme (Valentine's day, Independence day, Christmas etc). They look so beautiful! I always keep my things very organised and I don't see a reason to throw them away! I was looking forward for this months box. I got many emails from Glossybox before they sent this box out, giving away a few hints of what might be inside!






 

I'll start with the Kryolan Highlighter in shade Cashmere. Kryolan is a professional high end make up brand which has developed an exclusive highlighter just for Glossybox. I love the lid - it has a Glossybox logo on it and it has a cool design for the anniversary (reminds me of the box). This highlighter is lightweight and very creamy which makes it easy to apply. It provides cheekbones with a beautiful velvety shine. I have never heard of this brand before but I am definitely up for trying this product out. The shade looks very natural and I can see myself using this a lot. RRP £12.95 for full size product 4.5g.



 


I am super excited for the Philip Kingsley Elasticizer. I love hair treatments and this product is just so perfect for me! This pre-shampoo treatment, originally created specifically for Audrey Hepburn, is the world’s first pre-shampoo conditioning treatment. Intensely moisturising Elasticizer delivers a deep moisture to the hair’s cuticle, elasticity, manageability, bounce and shine without weighing down or coating the hair. It is also fragrance free and suitable for all hair textures. This treatment should be done before shampooing wet hair (applied to mid lengths and ends), covered with a shower cap and left in for 20 minutes or more, then rinsed and followed with shampoo and conditioner. Full size £38 for 250ml. Mine is a sample size of 40ml, which would be perfect to take with me when I am travelling around. I love doing treatments for hair/body when I am staying in hotels.


Comfort Zone is a brand I have never heard of before. I haven't used cleansing milk for years now as I haven't found a good facial cleanser. All of my previous ones have made my skin break out badly. This Essentials Cleansing Milk is something I am quite happy to try out though. The Glossy card describes this milk as gentle on the skin, containing anti-oxidants and hydrating active ingredients, which are perfect for daily use for all skin conditions. It removes make up/residues of debris in the morning/pollution perfectly and leaves skin healthy and balanced day after day. It should be applied to dry skin in the morning and evening, massaged gently, rinsed well or removed with a cotton pad. RRP £20 for 200ml.

 

I am so happy when I find Yves Rocher products inside my beauty boxes! It reminds me of when I was younger when I made cosmetic orders with my mum. She was constantly buying products from Yves Rocher and I was always there trying to get something for myself! I love nail polishes and there is never enough pretty pink shades. Yes, it is quite small but I am not complaining! For testing out it is just perfect and as I like making my nails colourful, it leaves plenty of room for other nail polishes! RRP £3.60 for a 3ml

 

I have been using Figs & Rouge Mini Hand Cream for a few days now and I am absolutely loving it! I can't believe how quickly it absorbs and also leaves hands so moisturised at the same time. It does not leave my hands greasy and I don't have to worry about leaving marks everywhere. This hand cream is enriched with shea butter, natural antioxidants and algea extract. Also it is strongly fragranced; I got Rose Berry, which smells amazing, just like candies! RRP £6.95 for a 80ml. Mine is sample size of 20ml. I guess I have to make an order soon to get a larger tube!



Lalique L'Amour is a fragrance for women launched in 2013. I love discovering new scents and I love getting small perfume testers from beauty boxes. The scent is very soft and sensual. It is still very flowery, so it is perfect for daytime wear. RRP £67 for 50ml.


I am very happy with this months box! I have made some great discoveries from new brands and am also very happy to try out all of the products. I love beauty boxes, they are like little presents you are waiting for every month.

The Body Shop Manchester Arndale Bloggers Event

I've been blogging for almost two years now but I'd still consider myself a newbie in the blogging world. On Thursday I had the chance to go to my first bloggers event at The Body Shop in Manchester to celebrate the release of an amazing new range on the 5th of May, including new bronzing items and a couple of vitamin C products! I was wearing my butterfly bow-tie brooch to the event and styled it with a white short sleeved shirt. It was a closed door event, so it was a good opportunity to browse all of the products and explore the new ones thoroughly! The event started at 8pm and I was one of the first ones to arrive. We were welcomed with milkshakes, fruit cocktails and lemonade. I went for water - shy and modest! There was also a white chocolate fountain and strawberries we had the chance to enjoy. The event was carried out by Fiona - she is a skin expert at the Manchester store. Everyone was able to get personal skin consult...

OOTD - The sun has come out!

It has been such a long time since my last fashion post, I've been missing them so much! The second the sun came out, Tristan and I went to the canal and took a few pictures. I think it is still too early for sunglasses but a light jacket is okay when you wear a jumper underneath (Primark) and a cosy leopard print scarf (Linea Cashmink) around your neck.  My black Veromoda jacket and shoes are both from Best Secret. You'll all know by now how much I've been raving about it. I think it is an amazing place for online shopping. I love the copper detailing and the simple look on my jacket, plus it's super lightweight. My trainers are by Puma & Alexander McQueen (click here to read my previous post). I also just noticed that I don't have any good shots of my Michael Kors bag, which I absolutely adore by the way! I'm sure everybody knows how beautiful these bags are so I think this will do for now. The bag and scarf were both Christmas presents fr...

Lilla Rose Flexi Clips

  Today I want to talk a bit about my hair and my recent purchase from a company called Lilla Rose . Lilla Rose is a unique hair and jewellery accessory company from the US. They have many different hair items but I was more interested in their beautiful and well-known Flexi Clip. I got myself two of these - Autumn's Delight in size small and Festive Leaf in extra small. Before ordering I made sure of which size would fit best for my flat and thin hair.       Both of my Flexi Clips look stunning. The beaded wire is quite bendable but strong, the sliding pin is adjustable and they feel high-quality. I chose mine in a copper/rust shade but there are also silver and gold shades and so many different styles and colours available. As I recently cut my long hair short, I don't have many options with styling. I usually just wear my hair in a ponytail or a half ponytail. Autumn's Delight fits all my hair between the clip and Festive Leaf is perfect for a smal...
