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.

Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide - Starting again

The last time I posted about my workout regime was in November last year when I started the Kayla Itsines BBG healthy eating plan and 12 week workout sessions. I think I got up to week 4 before I lost my motivation because of illness and Christmas. My friend Marianne and I started BBG again on the 5th of January with thousands of other girls and joined #thekaylamovement and #kaylasarmy to share our journey along this painful but exciting path.  You can read my first post about the BBG programme here as I am explaining a bit more on how I 'found' Kayla and how the training works.  I have done BBG for 5 weeks now (the first 2 weeks we did pre-training) and I'm feeling quite positive. I've not seen much progress myself - I still have my weak areas like tummy, bum and thighs. I do feel much stronger though! I'm doing all of the workouts properly, I have strength in my legs and arms - it is quite easy to do 10 push ups and continue with triceps and mountain clim...

Esimene trimester ehk esimesed kolm kuud \\ beebi number 2

Tere blogi, Jah, üllatus, üllatus, ma olen rase! Esimene trimester on läbi ja teen küsimused-vastused varjandis blogipostituse. Ausalt öeldes ei olnud mul just kõige kergem algus- jõetus, väsimus, iiveldamine ja oksendamine kestsid 6. nädalast kuni 13. nädalani. Ei tuleks vist eriti huvitav postitus, kui ma peaks kirjutama, kuidas ma kõik need nädalad voodis veetsin ja mitu korda päevas vetsupotti kallistasin, nii siis vastan pigem mõnedele esimese trimestriga seotud küsimustele.   Kuidas sa avastasid, et sa oled rase ja kuidas sa Tristanile ütlesid? Ühel reede hommikul ärkasin varem, et trenni teha. Jooksin jooksulindi peal umbes 30 minutit ja terve selle aja tundsin end imelikult. Umbes 5 minutit enne jooksmise lõppu tuli mul üles mega suur röhitsus ja natuke maomahla. See tunne oli nii tuttav! Tagasi tuppa tulles tegin veel Tristanile nalja, et olen vist rase. Terveks päevaks jäi see mõte mind kummitama ja ma ütlesin Tristanile, et peaks igaks juhuks rasedustesti tegema. Jä...

10 things to do in Rockhampton

I have still a couple more posts coming up about my Australian trip. I hope they are an interesting read! After Brisbane , we flew to Tristan's hometown Rockhampton where we spent the remaining 2 weeks of our holiday. Rockhampton is a small city in Queensland with a population of around 62,000 people. Rockhampton experiences over 300 days of sunshine each year, which means it is a good place for tourism and outdoor activities. Known as the "Beef Capital of Australia" there is much more to do than just sit in the pub and eat burgers! I have made a list of 10 things you can do around Rockhampton. 1. Rockhampton Kershaw Botanical Gardens are a well visited attraction in Rockhampton. The park has many paved walking paths, rest areas, drinking fountains and beautiful scenery with many palms and tropical flowers.   2. Quay Street in Rockhampton is full of beautiful architecture and old buildings. The city centre (main street) is not very big but I think we spent at ...
