Valentines Day Glossy Box!

Well, well, well, just when I thought I couldn't be any more impressed with the Glossyboxes I have received (especially after the fabulous christmas box!) I opened this pink box of AWESOMENESS! I am very impressed with this.

If you haven't heard of GlossyBox, you're missing out! For just £12.95 a month (including postage) you receive 5 products to try out. At least one is a make up item and at least one is full size. However, even the sample sizes are great. Visit www.glossybox.co.uk for more info and to read their fabby blog, full of reviews and recommendations!

Clarins Extra Firming Day and Night Cream

So, the first thing I noticed about this box: CLARINS! What a treat to find a couple of Clarins moisturiser samples to try! They are an extremely reasonable size also, you get 15mL to play with and a little seems to go a long way. Can't write a full product review, considering I only got the box on monday, but I can tell you that I have used these a couple of times and I adore them! They are rich and have a luxurious velvety texture and feel lovely on my dry skin and do not affect the sensitivity I often experience.

F.A.B Body Moisturizer

Chuffed to bits to find this in my box!! A while ago, my friend and I did a Glossybox product swap - I gave her a salt scrub and bath salts I had previously gotten and she gave me the F.A.B facial cleanser! I adore the cleanser, it doesn't dry out my skin and leaves it feeling nice and soft. This body moisturiser seems to be just as nice! It's lovely and soft and doesn't have a smell that would interfere with my perfume! My skin is left feeling nourished and healthy :)

Eyeko London Skinny Eyeliner

This eyeliner is lovely! I wouldn't normally choose a dark blue colour because I much prefer black but this one is a nice dark shade of blue. I also love everything about the packaging and the design of the pencil is so different!

Murad Skin Perfecting Primer

I haven't had much time to play about with this product as yet but I'm so intrigued! I've been needing a new primer so was chuffed to bits to find this in the box! It looks a lot darker than I expected, however it seems to blend into my skin perfectly and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. Have only used it once so will need to try it a few times to see just how good a primer it is!






What a great glossy box this month, let's hope every month this year will be good!


And what a nice touch with this little sweety!!

Dreamy Dermalogica

If you haven't heard of GlossyBox, then what is wrong with you?! OK, so I may have only discovered it a couple on months ago, but still.... it's amazing!

Every month you get sent a beautiful little box of wonders. Its full with some top of the range samples to try and is a fantastic way of discovering new products :)





Pretty little box :)





So, pretty sure I fell in love my october box, and here's the reason why... DERMALOGICA!! October's box came with a delightful picnic of dermalogica products from their AgeSmartTM range and they are just lovely! OK, so I maybe be only in my early twenties, but there's no harm in preventing the signs of ageing skin right?!

   

Yummy :)

Multivitamin Thermafoliant

This product is such a treat for my skin cells! Its a cross between the Body Shop's vitamin C microrefiner (discontinued) and an old warming facial scrub Neutrogena used to do (I believe). As soon as you pour some onto your hand you can feel it working as you can feel the heat it gives off! Just washed with warm water for a few mins (the heat from the scrub feels amazing) and my skin felt noticeably smoother and cleansed!

I am always cautious when trying out new skin products as my skin is dry and sensitive due to having eczema :( ... however, this product was gentle on my skin and didnt dry it out and I felt no sensitivity, despite the fine particles in the scrub! Happy days!

Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque

Massive fan of this one! This face mask is full of antioxidants to help the skin stay protected daily. Once again after using this I straight away noticed a difference in the feel of my skin! I put this mask on for about 15 minutes (looked a little jaundiced due to its orangey colour, but hey, when do girls every look sexy with a facemask on!!) and then washed off with warm water and then rinsed with cold. My skin feels amazing after use, cleansed and even moisturised and it leaves a nice healthy glow. Probably best for use once a week (and works even better after a good scrub with the Thermafoliant!)

Renewal Lip Complex

MASSIVE FAN! This is probably my favourite product from the box this month. Its just ACE! I had pretty sore lips from this damned cold weather we're having in Scotland. BUT, Dermalogica to the rescue!! This lip treatment left my lips noticeably better after about 2 days! It's not too sticky, it dries in well, I can wear it under lipstick or on its own and I love it I love it I love it :). Hence why I could not take a pic of my own sample of it as it has been used to death!

Anyways, links are in the text if you fancy checking any of the products out. If not you should still check out GlossyBox.co.uk, highly recommended!
