Showing posts with label beauty box

Hi girls!

This box has been long expected and I really love it! It doesn't have a perfume sample in it and it has nail polish! Moreover December edition comes in shiny red box with black bow over white tissue paper. Fabulous!

Let's have a look at it then:

In my box I had:

  • Blink+Go Hi-Definition Mascara - Longer, thicker, sexier. give your natural lashes stunning flake-free waterproof boost. It did lenghtened my eyelashes quite well but it also stuck them together. I don't think it added a volume. Mascara is full size and retails for £14.99

  • CARGO COSMETICS Classic Lip Gloss in Paris - CARGO's new Lip Gloss formulation! Perfect shades, great wear and high-shine without being sticky. I've got pinkish pearl shade Paris. The sample I've received had 0.45g but I don't know how many grams is full size. Full size retails for £10.
  • Deborah Lippmann mini in Razzle Dazzle - Party Glitter nail colour. I am soooo excited about this polish! Deborah Lippmann polishes are expensive and hard to get in UK so I'm over the moon! Razzle Dazzle is great raspberry glitter in a dark berry base. The only shame is that there is just one shade in all the boxes so we can't swap for more shades. But still, Thank you GlossyBox and Deborah Lippmann for this little jewel!  The full size polish has 15ml and retails for £16. The mini version has 8ml so the value is about £8.50
  • MEMEME Seventh Heaven - A luxurious moisturising facebase enriched with active nutrients and extracts to prime and nourish the skin. Can't wait to try this one! The full sized product has 30ml and retails for £15. The sample size I've received is 10ml, the value is then about £5
  • RITUALS Foaming Shower Gel Yogi Flow scentThis unique foaming gel gently cleanses your skin and leaves it silky soft and smooth. Contains organic ingredients Sweet Almond oil and Indian Rose. Ancient Ayurvedic ingredient, Sweet Almond Oil restores the skin's moisture balance. Indian Rose has a relaxing effect. The Yogi Flow scent is just fabulous! Love it! Love it! Love it! It is a full size worth £6.50
  • As an added extra there is a Deborah Lippmann Stripped to Go Sachet - remover finger nail mitt. I'm excited to try this sample as it is supposed to be a great remover.

Overall this is the best Glossybox I've recieved (my first one was October one) and I'm very happy with it. usually I don't like at least half things but in this one I love all of them! There are discount codes for three items which might come handy :)

Hi girls,

I've received my FU Beauty box Saturday early morning (EVERY Sat 8am, I hate package service so early!) and opened it straight away! I must admit I was very impatient and I've peeked to my FU account to find out what to expect. So what was in my box?

Box theme was Finishing Touches. "Sparkle your way through the festive season with this month's fabulous finishing touches.  With a sprinkle of sugar, a touch of gloss and spritz of fragrance, all eyes will be on you!"

Plus every beauty box subscriber gets automatically £5 off when £30 spent....I've already used mine for my bf's xmas present :)

Annick Goutal Mandragore EDT - this is unfortunately very strong and musky fragrance for me, I just can't stand it :( But look at the bottle!!! It is very gorgeous dark purple matte bottle with gold print on it and long gold cap, wrapped in purple pouch with tassels..fabulous! 50ml retails for £43.35 and sample size has 25ml. That makes the value about £21.60

Figs & Rouge -100% organic balm can be used for dry lips and skin. The scent is Sweet Geranium which again is not my scent so it will go to swap box. However I've tried it and the balm melts into oil under a warm finger and  it feels really nice on the lips. If you're into organic brands and don't mind geranium smell, this is a nice product. Value of this product is £3.49

Nails Inc. Oxford Circus - a miniature which has 4ml. The colour is light baby pink and has the usual Nails Inc. quality - good pigmentation, good drying time etc. Full size is 10ml and retails for £11. Miniature is the worth about £4.40

Clarisonic Cleanser - My cleanser is for oily skin which I can't use for my very dry skin so I won't be even trying it and straight to the swap box. I would like to swap it for the beige one-Nourishing for dry skin. The full size is 177ml and retails for £21. The sample is generous - 30ml and value is £3.56

TIGI Bed Head Candy Fixations Sugar Dust - this is very similar product to Schwarzkopf Osis+ from previous FU box. Since I kept the Osis + I won't be using TIGI (it doesn't work on my long heavy hair anyway) This is apparently full size and retails for £9.35

As an extra I got Living Nature 100% natural New Zealand cosmetics leaflet containing three 2ml samples - vitalising cleanser, extra hydrating toning gel and nourishing day cream.

This month's box was very generous but really products of my taste. The value of the box is about £42.40
