Hola Sparkly1s
Is there any better feeling than knowing you have a fabulous parcel on the way and then the doorbell goes? I almost do a little squeal of excitement. I have a lot of parcels delivered and pretty much class all the various delivery drivers as my friends.
I decided about a week ago I wanted to add to all the parcels I receive and subscribe to GlossyBox. If you don't know, GlossyBox is a monthly subscription beauty box that's delivered to your door each month with various make-up and beauty products. My first parcel arrived today! I almost grabbed it off the postman as he fumbled around with his letters and his little techy machine thing.
I eagerly opened up my parcel to be greeted by an adorable little stars and stripes box filled with 5 beauty products.
The products I received are:
Carmex is a product I used to use all the time. Now I'm talking years ago, like when I was 14 or something. You couldn't get it in the UK back then and I'm not sure who, but someone used to bring them back for me when they went on holiday. I'm not sure why I stopped using it but I'm pleased to have received this product and it's gone straight into my handbag. It's fantastic for soothing dry and chapped lips and with menthol, camphor and beeswax lips are protected all year round.
This is a full size Bellapierre Cosmetics Mineral Lipstick, which is a cult American favourite. It is formulated with natural waxes and has vitamin C and E in it. I got the shade 'Ruby' which I initially wasn't very pleased about as I don't tend to wear red lipsticks. But after testing it out I changed my mind. I'm trying to vary my make-up at the moment as I'm in a complete rut so this is the ideal opportunity.
The swatch is a deep red with orangey undertones. It has a really creamy, soft texture and is extremely pigmented. I'm really quite pleased with this one and am looking forward to wearing it.
Again, this nail varnish was one I was initially slightly disappointed with but it has grown on me. It is a full size Color Club in the shade Glossy Seal which has been especially formulated for the July Glossybox. After looking into this brand online I discovered they are made with non-toxic, cruelty free ingredients, which is a big plus point for me.
I tried this one on my toes as I'd just painted my hands and I was quite pleased with the colour. It's something very different from what I have in my collection so I'm pleased to add it in.
This is another full size product - the Absolute New York Perfecting Eyeshadow Primer. I have a confession to make. I have never used an eyeshadow primer in my life so I'm really looking forward to trying this one out
This Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara is something I've been wanting to try for a while now so I was thrilled when I spotted this little baby. Apparently it has lengthening, curling, volumising and conditioning properties - and who doesn't want that in a mascara?
Do you subscribe to GlossyBox? What did you get in yours? If you don't subscribe does this lot make you want to?
