October 2014 Glossybox* (12.95) |
So, this month's Glossybox is undoubtedly eye catching. If you love pop art or just bright colours in general, I imagine that this will be a box you won't want to throw straight in the recycling immediately after opening. I've recently kicked the habit of holding on to every pretty pink box. They were beginning to take over my entire house and it turns out that I don't own enough little things to use them all for storage. However I might just have to try and find a use for this one, or at least save it to pass on to someone else.
- Rimmel BB Cream Matte | £6.99 for 30ml
- Ciaté London Paint Pot in Talent Scout | £9
- Yves Rocher Quelques Notes D'Amour perfume | £33 for 30ml
- Nuxe Crème Fraîche de Beauté Mask | £19.50
- être belle cosmetics Liplift Peel | €12.95
- So Susan Flutter Mascara | £14.95
The Rimmel BB Cream is much too dark for me, but I already know who I'll be passing it over to and the formula feels really nice. I liked the Yves Rocher perfume at first, but the scent it dries down to is a little too overwhelming for me but again, I know someone who will really like it. The So Susan mascara is something I've tried before and bizarrely it refuses dry on my lashes. It also has a tendency to explode out of the top of the tube if you push the wand in too quickly, which is something to watch out for. But I've also read some rave reviews, so it just goes to show how personal make up can be.
The Ciaté nail polish is a fabulous purple shade that feels very Halloween appropriate! I've never tried a lip scrub before so the Liplift Peel is quite intriguing and I'll be interested to see if I like it more than just using a toothbrush on my lips if they're looking a little worse for wear. The stand out product for me is the Nuxe Mask. Anything promising to soothe and hydrate in the colder months is worth a try and I like that it's one that doesn't have to be removed because in my experience, the ones you can massage in completely tend to be the ones I prefer.

Thank you lovely! It's such a nice mask! x
DeleteThe box itself is so cool! It's a shame that not all of the products are for you, that's why I'm so reluctant to subscribe to a beauty box.. I really wanted to give the Rimmel BB creams a go, other than the colour do you think it'd be worth buying the actual product? And the nail varnish colour is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt definitely feels like a really nice product! My mum has given it a try and she really likes it! I'm a really big fan of Rimmel base products aside from their colour range! x
DeleteOh wow love the box!!
ReplyDeleteSo well designed! x
DeleteThis box looks so cool! What awesome art! I was about to warn you when I saw the So Susan Mascara but you already know! It's literally the worst mascara I've ever used such a nightmare haha. Otherwise the contents look really good I love the nail polish shade!

DeleteThat box is so, so awesome! I'm such a sucker for pretty packaging too - especially when there's a cool design on a paper bag...Oh dear. That Ciaté nail polish is such a Pop Art colour - definitely perfect for Halloween. The Nuxe masque sounds wonderful, especially if your skin gets a bit chapped in the winter like mine - I'm also a fan of masks you don't have to wash off after! xx
ReplyDeleteIt feels like they're extra hydrating! xx
