Eyeshadow brushes always come in handy and although I really dislike the design on the handle of this one by Teeez, it's certainly one that I'll always be able to find. A base and top coat is something that always comes in handy as well. I'm trying to overcome my nail biting habit so I've slapped some glitter polish over my sad looking nails in the hope it'll help. I've put some of the Nail Girls top coat over the top of the glitter and so far so good. Not a particularly exciting product, but one that will see a lot of use I'm sure.
Rituals is a brand that I love to see in beauty boxes because they're so reliable. Their products always smell beautiful and they really work. Mini sprays are perfect for keeping in handbags during the warmer months and that's what I'll be doing with this. It's actually nice to try an antiperspirant that's not my usual Dove or Sure and this Qi Gong scent is gorgeous.
A couple of days ago I cleared out my mascara drawer so the L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes couldn't have arrived at a more perfect time. I've never tried it before, in fact it's been a really long time since I tried a L'Oreal mascara in general. Maybe I've never tried one? I'm not sure. I'm not particularly fussy when it comes to mascaras, so as long as it doesn't sting my eyes or leave me looking like a panda I'm sure we'll get on okay.
Finally is the So Susan Concealer Quad. I believe every box will contain either this or the Universal Blush. So Susan sent me a few products from their range a couple of weeks ago and the concealer quad was one of them. Unfortunately I find all of the colours to be a little dry and they don't blend well at all on my skin. I love the idea of it, but it's not one that works for me & my skin type. If you're subscribed and you get the blush though, I think you might like that. It's a lovely colour that's really flattering and I've been reaching for it almost daily.
What do you think of this month's box?
Are you subscribed?

Seeing your box is tempting me to order one for myself!
ReplyDeleteI'm using that L'oreal mascara at the moment and it's pretty good. It gives a lot of length in just one sweep but can clump if you keep layering it.
I do quite like it though!

It was a really good box <3
DeleteWhat a bummer to hear that the 'So Susan' didn't work
ReplyDeleteon your skin :c the packaging is sure cute and practical c:

DeleteHi Jennie,
ReplyDeleteIf you're trying to grow your nails/stop biting them you should try out Sally Hansen Nail growth miracle (it's the one in the gold bottle!) I gave up biting my nails a few years back and this treatment works wonders as they grow so quickly and if you're seeing results I think you're more likely to resist biting them!! :) It's just a clear polish too so will make your nails look healthy and shiny!! (You'd swear I work for Sally Hansen - I don't! It's just an amazing product!)

Ooh I definitely will! xo
DeleteYou got some really lovely things this month! I'd love to try that mascara x

It's a really nice one! xo
DeleteEvery one of their boxes is so tempting -Hanna Lei
ReplyDeleteWas so good last month! xo
DeleteThis is quite a cute little glossybox really <3 I stopped getting them a few months ago, but I might start again soon :)

DeleteNot a bad box! I'd love to know your thoughts on the mascara once you've tried it.
ReplyDeleteTara xo
For sure! xo
DeleteI'm not subscribed to any beauty boxes but I love seeing what people get in theirs to see if it can ever sway my decision. The Rituals anti-perspirant looks interesting. Like you, I usually use Dove or Sure so I'd love to know your thoughts on the Rituals one, even if it's not the most glamorous of items ;). xo
ReplyDeletePolkaDotLemon
I really like it so far :) xo
DeleteI sometimes regret not being subscribed to Glossybox and Birchbox anymore, and this box seems like it has such an interesting selection of products that I do kind of wish I had ordered one!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a shame about the Oh Susan concealer, it seems like a very interesting product, conceptually.
Would love to hear how you do get on with the mascara! xx

For sure! xo
DeleteThe brush stands out to me the most xx
ReplyDeleteIt's really striking packaging ox
DeleteI'm always so tempted to order these boxes, but I can never really justify it because I can't guarantee I'll get any use out of what's in them. Maybe I'll give in soon though... B xx
ReplyDeleteThey're a fun treat! xo
DeleteOoh this seems like such a good box! Love that mascara and the Susan Concealer quad seems interesting :)

DeleteGreat box. I love your photos as well :)

DeleteOh no, I was thinking that the concealer quad would be really awesome! I love the idea of it too. xxx
ReplyDeleteThe idea is so good, would probably work better for slightly oilier skins xo
Deleteoh shame the concealer quad is a bit dry, as it looks like it would be really handy!
ReplyDeletefrom helen at thelovecatsinc.com
I was a little disappointed! xo
DeleteI loved my Glossybox this month, but I got this beautiful perfume in mine, did you hear about it? Japanese designer I think? I love it so much, I wish I could afford to replace it when it runs out but its like £39-49.
ReplyDeleteStunningly Inept
Ooh sounds lovely! ox
DeleteFab Glossybox :) I love your blog and I have started following you with Bloglovin and GFC. If you ever get a chance to check out my blog I would be delighted, thanks!

DeleteI have never tried one of these beauty boxes before, would you recommend them?

They're a fun treat, but they can be a little hit & miss content wise! xo
DeleteI would have been a bit disappointed to have gotten this box. I love the Birchbox though so probably because in my head I always compare them x
ReplyDeleteQuite Frankly She Said - UK Lifestyle Blog
Birchbox definitely won last month! xo
DeleteThis looks like a fairly mixed box, although I would be happy with it for the mascara alone - L'Oreal Million Lashes actually used to be my go to when I had money (student budget has got to me, mascara £5 and under from now on!). I hope you enjoy it :) Xx
ReplyDeleteA Blonde Moment
I'm really enjoying it so far <3
DeleteLove these products and the box is so adorable that they come in! xx

DeleteI love the brush, although I rarely use all the products I'm so tempted to sign up again to Glossybox

It's a fun treat to open <3
DeleteWhat a great glossy box lots of beautiful products. Perfect that you got a mascara after clearing your old ones all out Lucy
ReplyDeleteDefinitely perfect timing! xo
DeleteThe concealer sounds like a great product in theory, shame it didn't work so well!
