April Glossybox 2014

My April Glossybox arrived this week and I thought I would share with you what I got and what my impressions of the box as a whole were. I managed not to read any posts on this months box so it was truly a surprise when I opened it. I have ordered the products into which ones I liked the look of the most the first item is my favourite out of the box.

My favourite thing in the box was the Me Me Me Cosmetics Beat the Blues in Pearl Pink this is a cream highlighter that looks gorgeous when I swatched it. I've heard of this brand before but haven't actually tried anything from them so I am looking forward to giving this a go. I am a massive fan of highlighters but I have never tried a cream one before so it will be interesting to test it out.

£5.50 (this is the full size)

20% off code Glossybox2014 (expires 30/04/2014)

My next favourite item was this body oil. I love the scent of it as it smells of ginger which will not be to everyone's tastes. On the card it says it can be  used in the bath so I am looking forward to giving this a try. I think I will use it on Sunday Pamper Evenings. I've noticed on the website that they do a vanilla scented one so if I like this I might get the vanilla one as that is my all time favourite scent. 

MONU Spa Warming Ginger Massage & Body Oil

£26 for 100ml (received a 30ml sample)

The next item is the Tresemme Instant Refresh Cleansing Dry Shampoo I've only ever used Batiste dry shampoo so it will be interesting to give this a try. I like the Tresemme range so I should like this. 

Tresemme Instant Refresh Cleansing Dry Shampoo

£4.99 for 200ml (received the travel size with 100ml)

Next item is the SunSense Daily face SPF 50+ which will come in handy in the summer. I'm hoping that this won't be greasy as I find many SPFs are. I'm glad I got this over the tanning gel that I saw that some people got but I am not that excited about this product either. 

SunSense Daily face SPF 50+

£20.99 for 75g (received 10g)

The last item is the Emite Makeup Lip Brush (L312) I am not super excited about this as I don't very often use lip brushes. Although this does feel like a good quality brush and I will definitely give it a try. I would have much preferred to receive an eyeshadow brush or face brush as I would have got more use from that.

Over all I don't think that this box was as good as lasts months but there are still some great products in it that I am looking forward to trying.

February Empties

Today I thought I'd share with you some of my recent empties, I haven't written one of these posts for a while a my pile of empties was building up so I thought that it was about time that I wrote a post about what I have been using up. 

First item is the Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance this is a leave in conditioner which I spray on my hair when it is wet. It acts as a detangler and also makes my hair really soft plus it smells amazing. I have already repurchased this as I use it every time I wash my hair. The next items are the Tresemme Platinum Strength Shampoo and Conditioner I really enjoyed these 2 products they left my hair feeling so soft and nourished. They also seemed to make my hair dry straighter when it dried naturally which was really good. I would pick these up again in a heartbeat because I love how they made my hair look and feel. 

I finished my Along Came Betty Pore Fectly Clean Hot Cloth Cleanser I loved this cleanser as it removed all of my makeup and unlike some cleansers this one didn't dry out my skin. The Garnier 2 in 1 makeup remover is something that I am glad I have finished I did not like this at all. I found that it wasn't particularly great at removing makeup and it left my skin feeling very oily. The Botanics Rosewater Toning Spritz is perfect for refreshing your face throughout the day when it is hot and is also good to use after cleansing as it removes any leftover residue. I will get this again when the weather gets warmer as it is so refreshing on the skin. I really liked the Naturally Radiant Renewing Night Cream it smelt really good and it left my skin feeling really soft. Some night creams can feel heavy on the skin but this was light and sank in really well. 

I have recently got back into using mouthwash I stopped using it because I wasn't a fan of the over powering mint taste and I didn't really like this Colgate Plax one either it was just too minty. I have finally found one that I do like from the same line but it is the Clean Mint one which isn't too minty so it doesn't burn my mouth. I only bought the Colgate Max White One as you got a free Nails Inc polish with it but it was a pretty good toothpaste that helped whiten my teeth a bit.

April Empties

This is my April empties, I am trying to do them monthly now as I seem to use products up every month now. Some months however there won't we as much, this month I've used a fair amount of products so lets see what I've used.

Sure mini deodorant (£1.30 for 150ml) 

I bought this travel size deodorant to use when I went on a trip. It isn't really anything special it smells ok and does an average job. Not much else to say really.

Would I repurchase? No

Impulse body spray Paris (limited edition)

This wasn't my favourite scent from Impulse. Some of their scents are really nice but I didn't particularly like this one. 

Would I repurchase? No

Garnier Clean Sensation deodorant (£2 I couldn't find a link online though)

I really like Garnier deodorants I've tried most of them. I liked this one as it had a clean scent to it rather than a heavily floral scent like some of the other deodorants. 

Would I repurchase? Yes 

Superdrug extra gentle apple detangling spray (don't think they do this any more but L'oreal does one that is similar)

I really liked this as it helped get rid of some of the knots in my hair after I washed it. It made it easier to comb my hair. I wasn't keen on the scent but luckily it didn't linger on the hair. 

Would I repurchase? Yes (obviously from a different brand)

Tresemme Split Remedy sealing serum (£5.69)

I love this I use it ever time I wash my hair. I ran some through the ends of my hair and I noticed a difference in the amount of split ends I had. I definitely recommend this if you want more information you can read my review here.

Would I repurchase? Yes

Tesco wild peony and pomegranate handwash (£2) 

I wasn't impressed with the smell of this. It claims to be a luxury handwash but it isn't really. I was quite disappointed with this. 

Would I repurchase? No 

Vaseline hand cream (£3.41 for 75ml)

This hand cream was quite runny and I found it to be quite greasy as well. Although looking online it seems that the packaging has changed so perhaps the formula has as well.

Would I repurchase? No 

Royal Jelly body wash (part of a gift set)

This was an ok body wash, I wasn't a massive fan of the scent I found that it was quite strong. 

Would I repurchase? No 

Dirty Works body butter (£4.99 for 300ml)

I loved the smell of this and I found that it was quite moisturising. It sank into the skin really quickly as well. I won't be buying this at the moment as I have a lot of other body butters but I may get it in the future. 

Would I repurchase? Yes

FCUK bodywash (£1.25)

I loved the smell of this. It smelt so good and it was a really nice body wash. 

Would I repurchase? Yes
