March Glossybox - Step Into Spring

Hey Hey!

 

As promised I'm back with a peek at the beautiful new box of titillating treats from Glossybox.

 

The box contains 4 full sized products and a pair of tester products.

 

The products are a mixture of nail products, hair care, beauty and skin care. Often a few products in these boxes are hit and miss but I definitely think I will make use of all of the products I was sent this month.

 

 

First up......

NAOBAY - Moisturizing Peeling.

This is a full sized product, and is priced at £13.71 for 100ml.

  

 

This is described as an organic peeling milk containing particles from the acai tree, which help remove dead skin cells and brighten the skin. It has a luxurious texture and a fresh almost slightly citrus scent, perfect for refreshing your face this spring. The packaging is in my opinion a high point of the product, simple and understated, I love the wood used to create the lid. You can purchase this product here, I certainly will when I've worked my way through this tube.

 

Essence - Lash Princess Volume Mascara.

 



Another full sized product, this one priced at £3.30 and available here. Now, I have allot of mascaras, it's one of my favourite cosmetics. I do really like the packaging of this, it's attractive and fun. But I think the wand is a little on the small side, it doesn't really create the volume it promises but will be an ok daytime, basic look mascara. Overall for the price I don't think you can really complain, although after using the product, and looking through the website I would say this product is better aimed at teenagers just starting out with make up.

 

Now a look at my favourite item from this months Glossybox!

ncLA - Nail Lacquer.

 

 

I LOVE ncLA products so was really excited to see this gorgeous spring colour peeking at me from within my box of treats!

I was sent a full size bottle of colour 'LIEK...TOTALLY VALLEY GIRL'. Available for £13 via this lovely site.

I love the pigmentation of this vibrant neon pastel pink, and the coverage after just two coats is excellent, not to mention the the durability, ncLA never fail on that front! Definitely one to buy if you're looking to update your nails for spring.

 

Now onto the final full sized product in my March box.

Carmex - Moisture Plus Ultra Hydrating Lip Balm.

 

Again a product I love. I'm not a fan of lipstick, I find it feels very heavy on my lips, so I love having a new tinted lip balm or gloss to try out, and this one has made it into my handbag! Not surprisingly I have used many Carmex products, they have been around for over 75 years after all, and this one is just as good, the shea butter helps this product keep my lips silky soft with just a hint of tint, perfect for the warmer weather on its way (hopefully!).

You can pick your up by visiting here and parting with just £4.49.

 

Last, but not least, my little tester treats, which are perfectly sized for travel!

Dove Advanced Hair Series - Youthful Vitality Shampoo and Conditioner.

 

These are fantastic travel sized products, each one is around 12ml, great for a cheeky weekend trip!

I'm yet to use these items, but I have used Dove hair products many times, I have difficult dry, frizzy hair and love the moisture Dove provides. These products smell gorgeous which is plus!

If you would like to buy the full sized items you can visit your local supermarkets and drugstores, each one costs around £5.99.

 

So that's it.....or at least it would be! This month marked a year of me first subscribing to Glossybox, so the lovely guys send me a little present!

 

 

How cute and thoughtful!

I love making notes, it keeps me sane, so I will definitely get loads of use from my new Glossynotes note book! Thank you Glossybox!

 

After a year I think I have had enough time to forge a good opinion of the service provided by Glossybox, and I can honestly say I have thoroughly enjoyed receiving my boxes each month. Sure, not all products are perfect for everyone, but that's understandable, 99% of the time I will make use of each thing I'm sent, and the tings I won't I can pass on to friends or family. I will definitely continue to subscribe.

 

If this little ramble has inspired you to give it a go, you can sign up here, each box is £10 plus £3.25pp, great value in my opinion.

 

I hope you've enjoyed having a look at this box, if you already subscribe let me know what you though of the picks this month! And if you decided to sign up, enjoy!

 

Enjoy your week lovelies,

 

Much Love

Spring Skin Care Switch Up!

Hey Hey!

 

Welcome back and apologies for being quiet for a couple of days, I had planned on getting this post done yesterday, but my poor lil' Mumma was taken into hospital on Monday so I was required to carry out my daughterly duties <3 She's home now but still quite poorly so send lots of healing, happy thoughts!

 

 

Now, as we're finally coming out of what has felt like a never ending winter and heading into spring, I thought I would switch up my skincare routine.....admittedly I'm in the middle of a huge breakout so that helped me in making my decision too!

 

I decided to buy a few items from the SIMPLE range, I've used products here and there and always liked it, mainly because they do as they promise, they're great for sensitive skin like mine!

As you can see from the above I purchased 6 items from the range. Cleansing Facial Wipes, Eye Make-up Remover, Moisturising Facial Wash, Purifying Cleansing Lotion, Soothing Facial Toner and finally the Hydrating Light Moisturising. Each product is a good size and very well priced at between £3.50 - £5.50.

 

I don't use things like this daily, I like to let my skin remain natural for a few days a week, but I love that the ingredients in these products, along with the two vitamins (pro vitamin B5 and vitamin E) help me feel like what I'm using isn't too harsh. I also adore that no artificial perfumes or colours are used.

 

I have only been trying out the range for a few days, but so far I'm enjoying it and looking forward to seeing some results with my troublesome skin!

 

If you would like to purchase any of the above items, you can find them in most drug stores, such as Boots and Superdrug as well as in many supermarkets! Let me know if you already use them and what you think, or even if you use something else and would like to recommend something, drop me a comment!

 

I'll be back on Saturday, 'style Saturday!', with a look at another outfit that I picked up as a part of my recent haul from ASOS Curve, and on Sunday with a special Mothers Day post!

Enjoy the rest of your week lovelies,

 

Much Love,
