June Glossybox

Today I thought I would share with you what I got in my June Glossybox. I decided to renew my subscription despite not getting the best box in May as I really like getting a box each month and seeing what's going to be inside it. I was really impressed with this box and I am glad that I renewed my subscription.

The first thing I got I was really happy to see. The first item is the Nailgirls 3 in 1 Base, Topcoat and Nail Strengthener. I need a new base coat as the one I am currently using is from the Boots own line and it is rubbish. This is a new launch from Nailgirls which is a brand I have never heard of. This is £13.50 for 15ml which is a little on the pricey side for me but I am looking forward to giving it a go.

Product: Nailgirls 3 in 1 Base, Topcoat and Nail Strengthener

Price: £13.50 for 15ml (I got 10ml) 

Where to buy: nailgirls.co.uk 

The next item I was happy to see was the L'Oreal Paris Volume Million Lashes in Black. I love mascaras so I love trying out new ones. I have heard great things about the L'Oreal mascaras but have never actually tried them myself so I am looking forward to giving this a go. 

Product: L'Oreal Paris Volume Million Lashes in Black

Price: £10.99 (full size recieved)

Where to buy: Boots

I received a brush from the brand Teeez Trend Cosmetics. I love the pattern on the handle and I am looking forward to trying this. The brush I got is the Beautiful Flat Stiff Brush which will be perfect for packing on colour to the lid. The brush is quite expensive at €19 (about £15-16) and it doesn't actually feel that soft so it will be interesting to see how it applies eyeshadow. 

Product: Teeez Trend Cosmetics Beautiful Flat Stiff Brush

Price: €19 (full size received) 

Where to buy: nelly.com (you can even get Boots points via Boots Treat Street)

The next product is from a brand called So Susan which is a new brand that has just launched. Every Glossybox subscriber got either the concealer quad or a blush. I was hoping for the blush but instead I got the concealer quad. This quad is quite expensive at £20 but the packaging does not feel like it is a £20 product it feels very cheap. Also although the concealer does not contain mineral oils or animal by products it still contains parabens which I find odd as usually brands that try to be 'good' usually create paraben free products. 

Product: So Susan Cosmetics Concealer Quad

Price: £20 (full size received) 

Where to buy: sosusan.com

The last product is antiperspirant spray from Rituals. It is in the scent Qi Gong and has a mixture of white lotus and yi yi ren. This smells really nice and I am looking forward to trying it. This contains 50ml so is quite a small can so I think I may put it in my travel bag to use when I'm travelling. 

Product: Rituals Qi Gong Spray

Price: £3.50 (full size recieved)

Where to buy: rituals.com

Overall I am really happy with this months box and I can't wait to try everything.

June Favourites

It's time again to to share my monthly favourites, it doesn't seem that long ago that I was sitting down to write my May favourites. 

This month I have rediscovered my Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. I have always loved this foundation but this month I have been wearing it nearly everyday. I love the way it looks on my skin and that it is really light so that it lets my skin breathe. To apply my foundation I have been loving 2 different tools, for the first half of the month I was using my Beauty Blende dupe which I got from H&M. I love this for applying foundation as it makes it look flawless. The second half of the month I loved my ELF Powder Brush I use this like a buffing brush to buff my foundation in and I love the finish that it gives. 

I have found myself reaching for my MUA Undress Me Too palette a lot this month.The cooler shades of brown make it perfect for summer. I have been loving the shades Shy, Wick and Reveal. 

I have been loving painting my nails this month which is something I don't usually have a lot of time for. I have  loved using the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine in Greenberry on my finger nails. I love the colour and formula and I really like that it lasts a week on my nails before it starts chipping. I have been liking the Barry M Nail Paint in Shocking Pink on my toes as it is such a bright colour and I love bright polishes on my toes. Lastly I have been loving the Elegant Touch Rapid Dry Spray. You spray your nails with this and they are touch dry within 60 seconds. One of the drawbacks for me (I'm sure I'm not alone here) of painting my nails was the fact that you have to wait around whilst they dry with this it cuts down the time you have to wait. 

What have you been loving this month?

June Empties

It's that time again in which I talk about the products I have used up in the past month. I am pretty impressed with the amount I use up each month, I'm always worried I won't have enough to talk about but that has never seemed to be a problem.

So first 2 things I used up are kinda similar they are cotton pads. I get the round ones which I use to take eye makeup and nail polish and I use the oval ones for my face. I like to use the oval ones for my face as they are a lot bigger so the cover more of my face and remove makeup quicker than if I use a round pad. I used up some of the Nivea Refreshing Facial Cleansing Wipes from the Daily Essentials range, these were ok but they weren't anything special so I probably wouldn't get them again.

Next I used up the Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash I really liked this as it cleaned my face well and it smelt really good. This lasted me a really long time so if you are on a budget this would be perfect for you as you won't have to keep buying face wash. I was sad to finish the next item as I really liked it. It was the Botanics Skin Calming Night Cream I liked this as I found it really moisturising and it left my skin feeling smooth. I won't be repurchasing for the moment as I am trying out the Naturally Radiant Renewing Night Cream from Superdrug. 

Next is the Along Came Betty One Pot Of Polish I loved this scrub not only did it smell amazing but it was a really nice scrub. It wasn't too harsh and it left my skin feeling really soft. I wasn't a massive fan of this Radox bubble bath, the scent wasn't particularly for me. The only reason I used this up was because my sister had a really bad rash and this mad it worse. 

Lastly is the MUA Clear Mascara which I use to set my brows, this is so cheap and it does the job. I've already got a new one. 

What have you  been using up lately?

June 2013- Magazine Freebies

This month there some amazing magazine freebies that I want to share with you. As most of you will know magazines are a great way to try some great makeup and skincare brands for a much lower price. I recommend that if you plan on picking up more than one magazine that is the same so you can try all the free products (please say I'm not the only one who does that) then use self service or buy them separately as you get some strange looks and I've had people in the past asking if I meant to pick up more than one. Anyway onto the freebies. 

This month Marie Claire are giving away some Avon products. As far as I'm aware you can only get Avon products from a representative or online you can't buy them in the shop. At least you can't in the UK. So they are giving an Avon eyeliner in Black, a brow pencil in Dark Brown and a lipstick in Smitten Red. I have included swatches of the products below so you can decide which one to get or you could get all 3 like I did. I've only used the products a few times so I can't give a full review of them but I can definitely say that they are worth picking up. I especially like the eyeliner and lipstick. Also the magazine gives a free sample sachet of the Avon BB cream.

I'd also like to mention that next month they are giving away a Ciaté mini polish and Caviar kit which will include paint pot in Cookies and Cream and a Caviar polish in Shooting Stars. This comes out on June 6th. 

Instyle magazine were giving free Nails Inc polishes this month. There are 3 colours to choose from You're A Peach, Totes Pink and It's Red Babez. I decided to go for the red as Totes pink looked very similar to Elizabeth Street that came in an issue of Glamour magazine. The peach colour didn't appeal to me as I'm not a massive fan of peach colours. I haven't used this yet but I'm sure it will be good.

Next month they are giving a Neal's Yard Remedies moisturiser. I have a hand cream by the same brand which I got in Marie Claire which I really like so I can't wait to try this moisturiser. 

Probably the most exciting freebie is this mini Benefit They're Real mascara. I have been wanting to try this mascara for ages but at £19.50 a tube, it's a lot of money of money to spend on a mascara. This is a great opportunity to give this a try. I have used this and I really like it. It made my lashes look amazing, I'm even tempted to buy the full size but I'll have to use some of my other mascaras first. 

Next month Elle are giving away some fake tan in 3 different shades to choose from. I won't be picking this up however as I don't like fake tan. 

Did you pick up any freebies this month?
