Glossybox Pop Art Edition

This month's Glossybox is undoubtedly eye catching. It is full of colour and this limited edition box is emblazoned with a pop-art style cartoon image.



Here are the 6 products that were inside. 



I am going to start with the Mask Crème Fraiche de Beauté from cult French brand NUXE. Full size 50 ml, £19.50

This intensive moisturisation treatment provides instant relief for even the driest skin and leaves you looking and feeling radiant. Perfect for protecting your skin against the cold outside and the drying out effects of central heating. It can be applied once or twice a week (or every day if you suffer from particularly dry skin). Recommended to leave on the face for 10 minutes, removing any excess.



Etre Belle Cosmetics Lip Lift Peel - Full Size, £12.95

A gentle and moisturizing exfoliator for the lip area. It gently removes dead cells and refines the surface skin. I am very excited to try this as I have never used a lip peel before. It will also come in handy at this time of the year as my lips need a little extra care. Massage a small amount on the lip area with gentle circular motions, after one minute remove thoroughly with a dampened cotton pad.


Rimmel London BB Cream Matte in Light - Sample size 8ml, £6.99 for 30ml

This Matte BB cream is a 9-in-1 skin perfecting super makeup with a natural matte finish and oil free formula. It minimises the appearance of pores, evens skin tone, mattifies, controls shine all day, smoothens, soothes, conceals dark circles, helps prevent blemishes and gives all-day coverage. I will try it out as I have oily skin and I am looking for something with a bit more of a lighter texture.

  
Ciate Nail Polish in Big Yellow Taxi - Full Size, £9.00

I love Ciate nail polishes, the formula and quality are amazing and also the bottle looks just beautiful. I am not sure about the shade at this time of year, I was hoping for something a little darker, more of an autumn colour. I guess it can wait on my dressing table until the sun comes out. 



Yves Rocher Quelques Notes d'Amour Perfume - Sample size 5ml, £33 for 30ml

I am always happy when Glossybox sends out more perfume samples! I love the scent and the presentation of the bottle! Absolutely gorgeous!



So Susan Cosmetics Flutter Mascara - Full Size, £14.95

I have already tried this mascara as I got it in July from another beauty box. The brush is a bit too short and small for my lashes. Small brushes are better suited for short lashes. Also, the bristles are not very thick - thick bristles help to seperate lashes and achieve volume. I prefer thick bristles as they can get close to the eyes and grab each and every little lash easily. I didn't hate it so I will give it another go!


Overall, I am happy with the box. I like the idea that some of the products will prepare me for the season and help to make me feel comfortable.

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...
