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.

Glossybox - Iconic Hollywood Edition

This month Glossybox takes us a step back in time and worships Hollywood beauty royalty. There are four collector's edition boxes with different coloured bottoms and a Marilyn Monroe print on the cover. My box is a mint green and looking very pretty - definitely worth keeping. The box contains 5 beauty products - 3 of them full size. The products are inspired by the silver screen stars whose elegant and timeless beauty is still as relevant as it was then. The Lord & Berry Lipstick Pencil and POP Beauty Kajal Eyelines Pen are both essential to achieve a time-honoured look - a red lip and feline flick. Eyes and lips are the windows to the soul - when I am doing my make up, I like to concentrate on them the most. I am glad Glossybox chose these classic staples for this month. Lord & Berry Lipstick Pencil in Kiss is the perfect Marilyn red. It's in pencil form which makes the application really easy and because it has the matte finish, it can be glosse

4 Days in Rome / Day 2 More sightseeing and tours

We planned for Monday to be our main sightseeing day. The morning was started with breakfast at our hotel before we left at 10am. A bus to the city centre took us just 10 minutes - €1.20 for one way ticket. Our first stop was at Piazza Venezia, a major circus and known as the central hub of Rome. The majority of Rome's popular tourist attractions are easily accessible from here and are within walking distance. The Altare della Patria (Altar of the Fatherland) caught my eye and we decided to see it up close. This monument was built in 1925 in honour of King Victor Emmanuel, making it quite a new attraction compared to the rest of the Rome and its architecture.   From the top of the building you can see a 360 degree view of Rome. A ticket to the top costs €7 but you can stay on the roof as long as you like!    Our next stop was Santa Maria in Aracoeli , another beautiful Catholic church with a monumental staircase. While you can see the Col

Jewellery box

It is time to take a look inside my jewellery box! I don't wear many accessories during the winter. Why? Maybe because I am all wrapped up and it can be so annoying when earrings, necklaces, bracelets and so on get caught on the extra clothes. But now that spring has arrived, it is time to take all of my accessories out and start wearing them!     I had actually forgotten how much I had in this box - it was such a surprise. It felt like I had just bought them again! I found loads of hair clips and hairbands, which were all ordered from eBay. I don't think I have paid over £5 for any one of them (postage and packing included). They came from China and like everybody knows, it takes about a month for them to arrive!   This peacock hair clip is my favourite. I have worn it a couple of times and I can't really complain about the quality. It actually looks like it is worth a bit more than the £2 I paid.     I love these two hair clips. Th
