April Glossybox

I feel no shame in admitting i adore Glossybox. I've never tried Carmine or any of the other beauty boxes on the market, but something about Glossybox is just so...fun!
The element of surprise and adding 5 samples to my ever growing makeup collection greatly excites me, and i love the feel of the boxes- especially the themed ones, so the Earth Month inspired Glossybox was a surefire hit with me(and apparently bloggers everywhere!)

I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the Glossybox itself is biodegradable. A very very nice touch!

In box i recieved:

-Figs & Rouge lip balm in Rambling Rose

-kai Perfume sample

-Ayuuri body wash 

-Inika eye pencil in Peacock blue

-Caudalie S.O.S Thirst Quenching Serum

I've seen others complain or show a little annoyance at the presence of a perfume sample, but i really liked this one in particular. The brand is extremely elegant and i loved the idea of the scent being different on everyone. There are other perfumes and even lipsticks etc that have similar claims, and i have tested this theory on myself, Mum and one of my sisters- and it does smell a little different. I really like the overall lightness and fresh fragrance- i won't be buying a bottle though- i wasn't blown away enough to spend £41 on a full size bottle.

This lip balm is one of the two full size products in the box. The Figs & Rouge Lip balm in Rambling Rose was something i'd hoped would blow me away. But i really didn't like the smell. It smelt really odd, and i normally love rose scented products. Unfortunately not a winner for me, but my sister, who i gave it to, seemed to like it well enough- is it just me?! (£3.29 from www.feelunique.co.uk)

The other full size product in the box is the shown Inika certified organic eye liner in peacock blue. I was the first one to dismiss it, saying blue eyeliner is most definitely not my idea of edgy, or pretty. But after applying, i changed my tune. I liked putting a little on my lower lash line and smudging a little.The texture was absolutely lovely. It glided on and lasted hours before i noticed any wear. As far as i can sniff, there isn't a distinct scent. I would've preferred maybe of a brown or dark green, but i'll definitely look into the other Inika prodcuts avaliable. (£11.75 at www.inikacosmetics.co.uk)

Also in this box, which I haven't pictured because i wanted to do separate revies on the products, were an Ayuuri body wash, which i cannot get enough of, and a Caudalie S.O.S Thirst Quenching serum, which i'm really considering paying £29 for a full size product. 

Overall, i really like the box this month, and i cannot wait to receive the May box. 

Where have you been?!

So i've been gone for...what seems like forever. Literally, almost a month!
How bad is that?!
This is for a few reasons:
-revision has taken up 90% of my free time, the other 10% is spent either shopping for more makeup, or skype with the boyfriend.
-the new boyfriend. yayayay! at weekends i've been seeing him, so my blogging has been a little pushed aside! He apologises by the way(whattaloser!)!
-the new posting format thing is a little daunting. It's the first time i've posted using it, but not the first time i've tried. I'm not scared of change, but it looks a little..meh. Brilliant english right there: meh.

Anyway, i've got no end of posts to get writing for you, so i best get started! Thankyou for bearing with me!

The Expensive Edition- Bag & Purse

My Most Wanted is something reailstic i can aim for in the not-too-distant future, but the following are the kind of things that someone dreams of owning! 

One of my few and select goals in life, is to own a Mulberry bag. It is the most shallow of the goals, don't worry, but this Mulberry Cookie Bayswater is my ultimate dream bag. If ever find £995 of change jangling around in my pockets, i would buy this in a heartbeat. Mulberry is, for me, the ultimate luxury bag brand. But, as said, with luxury products, comes luxury prices. This iconic bag can be found here.

I'm not big on purses- my current number is a pastel green studded number, which i have used since i've had the need for a good purse...but this Ted Baker purse is simplistic and the daschund bobble is gorgeous. And cute. And although not being the priciest purse (£79 - the £320 Mulberry cookie cutter purse would be my *second* choice against this one-gasp!), it's more expensive than other purses that i've seen. This gorgeous purse can be found here, available in black and shell (cream), but shell would definitely be my shade of choice!

Most Wanted

All of us have made lists of things we wish to own some day, and mine for this fortnight contains 1 item.

This is from the Cambridge Satchel Company, and i love the colour, design and class of the satchel. It would be a toss up between the brown one and this gorgeous vivid scarlet bag, but i have a feeling the red would win, out of pure admiration for how unusual and stunning it is. I'd definitely pay the extra money to have my initials embossed into the satchel lip...how sublime! 

Unfortunately this satchel isn't cheap, (14 inch-£81, and an extra £5 per letter to be embossed, gulp) but it is unparalleled on quality and beauty...no high street satchels seem to compare...

Anyway, that is this fortnights one-item wonder. 

The satchel can be purchased from here. 

Are you as infatuated with this as me? ;)
