MY FIRST GLOSSY BOX!!

Oh my gawwwdddd,
I am overly excited about my first ever flossy box!
How or why have I never done this before!
WOOO WOOOOO.
Okay so first things first the box it came in is just so pretty I'm going to use it in my room for something, not sure what yet!
Possible hairbands and bobby pins?!
So, in this months Glossy Box came;
Essie Nail Lacquer, Lipcote, Coconut Nip + Fab, Daily Microfoliant from Dermalogica, Yves Rocher France So Elixir Purple Yves Rocher Eau de Parfum.
The perfume is so beautiful and I just love it, I love it so much that I'm going to order the full size one my nan liked the smell of it too so I have given the small bottle that I got in my glossy box to her and I'll have the bigger bottle! (cheeky)

I love Essie nail Laquers and got the most delicious colour today! 
If you want a nail polish that doesn't chip and comes in a variety of beautiful colours then ESSIE IS THE PLACE TO BE!

Lipcote is a product that I used to use when I was a dancer, for competitions I would apply my lipstick in the morning and apply a coat of Lipcote and my lipstick would stay on all day it's an amazing product, doesn't taste very nice but who is eating it? haha.
It's a bargain at £3.99 and the bottle lasts quite a while!

Now I've only used the Dermalogica exfoliator once but my face feels so soft and amazing I feel fresh after a pampering day! 
 I will do a proper post on this product when I've used it a few more times, It's quite pricey at retail so we'll see if it's good enough to buy!

I haven't tried out the moisturizer yet but it says it's good for dry skin which I suffer with so we shall seeeee beauties! 

I also purchased some more Bio Oil because it was on offer on Amazon a 200ml bottle for just £10 so get over there now!
I'm actually going to religiously apply this twice a day to my stretch marks and scars to hopefully get rid of them or at least make them less visible especially the ones on my legs because I'm so self conscious! 

Like I said I'll do a proper blog post on them soon!

Lots of Love just wanted to let you know!
MWAH!

Mini MUA Haul

Right, so I was on the MUA website the other day just having a look at the £1 lipsticks as I do on a regular basis. Cheeky.
When I came across a rather daring pink- well, daring to me not so daring to others I expect!
I thought d'you know what? It's a £1 if I don't like it I haven't wasted £15 on a lipstick I'll never wear again and I can just give it to my sister or something?! It was 'Shade 3'
Then once I'd added one lipstick to my basket I thought- oh postage and packaging... Better buy a couple more things to make it worth the extra postage money!
So, after buying such an outrageous colour I decided to tone it down a bit and go for a bare, nude lipstick which I did:
'Shade 14- Bare'
The lipsticks are only £1 and I love them! You're paying £1 for a lipstick you can't really go wrong! I think they stay on my lips for a considerable amount of time and although these ones aren't extremly moisturising I'm constantly wearing carmex anyway and suffering with dry lips quite a bit at the moment so have only worn these lipsticks once but I loved them!!

Then after searching around for ages and not finding anything that really tickled my fancy I thought I'd try out the eyebrow pencil that they have which is only £1.
I am not a fan of this eyebrow pencil I don't know if it's just me but I thought it was really sticky and stodgey!
Shall not be using it again, except maybe if it's a last resort, I may have a play around with it see if I can get it going on smoothly and nice but I was NOT impressed!

I then got the eye shadow, I only got one and in a very bare shade because I had never purchased an eye shadow from MUA before and wanted to test it out, I was looking for a shade as close to my natural lid colour as possible to wear with black gel liner and this was exactly what I was looking for, it applies smoothly it stayed on for about 6 hours then I noticed it needed re applying but I was home by then anyway! Although, it's very nude it did show a difference because it has a slightly yellowy undertone to it.
I got mine is 'Shade 17- Matt'

Next my two nail polish's 

I. LOVE. THEM.
They're only a £1 and the bottle looks a lot like the Essie bottles which just adds a bit of extra glamour I think!
I love the new bottles.
I love the way it applies.
I love that it doesn't chip instantly!
I LOVE THE COLOURS!!

I got 'Amaretto Crush' and 'Plum Noir'
BUT, I shall be buying a lot more, every colour I'd say!!

Collection 2000 Concealer

I got this beauty a few weeks ago now and I had heard such great reviews about it I thought oh marvoooo I'm going to have an amazing concealer to hide all these hideous 'friends' on my face!
But I only went and got it in the wrong blooooming shade.
One shade too dark for my A4 white papier skin. *boohoo*
I've still been using it though because it wasn't that bad underneath my foundation until now when the weather has (for one day) brightened up a bit and I find myself not wanting to wear as much or infact ANY foundation.
So I'm going to pick up the lighter shade tomorrow so that I can just wear this concealer and maybe a bit of powder and that's it as far as 'face make up' goes.
Hopefully the weather cheers up a bit, England is so crappy at the moment!
So I'll let you know what that shade is like!
The coverage of this is amazing though and honestly lasts all day normally I'm having to re cover up with concealers but this one just doesn't need it!
I'm thankful to of found this after my disappointment with the Wake Me Up concealer (See Previous Post)

I'm off out for the day tomorrow so I may even purchase some more goodies to review!

Sorry I've been a bit pants lately been very busy preparing to start my new job (starting work in a hospital takes a LOT of prep apparently starting with jabs, me no likey needles in ME) :(
Also, it was my birthday so I was busy planning that.
Business as usual again now though- I hope!
