Christmas Glossybox!

Super excited to finally get my Christmas glossybox! To be honest some of the contents will be given out as gifts but that makes me even more excited. I love that the glossybox team decided to go for a red box for xmas. It'll be perfect for packing someone's present in.





1. Blink + Go Eyeshadow and Blush Palette - I got the eye colour palette, which contains six metallic shades (brown, bronze, khaki, grey, silver grey and white) and underneath are a coral and pink blush. It's the perfect size to fit in your purse for touch ups or makeup on the go and will be perfect for travelling. Although I would love to try them I have more than enough eyeshadows and know just who I will be giving this to this xmas.


2. Cargo Cosmetics Classic Lip Gloss in Tokyo - I love the colour and it gives amazing shine without being sticky so I'll be keeping this for me, especially since I have just finished my MAC plushglass. 


3. Deborah Lippmann Nail Varnish in Razzle Dazzle - a dark raspberry glitter nail polish. This is the product I am most excited about and was really hoping to get before my work xmas party as it would have gone with my dress perfectly. I am crazy about glitter nail polishes at the moment so will give this one a try just as soon as I remove the blue glitter one I have on at the moment.


4. Deborah Lippmann The Stripper To Go Nail Lacquer Remover Finger Mitts - these will be perfect for travelling, will save me the need to pack nail polish remover and cotton pads.


5. Nip + Fab Spot Fix - A fast acting gel that targets blemishes. This effective formula helps reduce the appearance of problem prone skin. It decreases the appearance of redness and swelling whilst preventing and reducing the appearance of UV-induced erythema for sensitive skin. It contains: salicylic acid which deep cleans pores, vital et® which targets blemishes fast and eucalyptus + tea tree which purifies. I am looking forward to trying this as I have tried many products which claim to zap spots but have not found one which actually does yet.


6. Rituals Foaming Shower Gel in Hammam Delight - unique gel to foam technology with fresh eucalyptus and rosemary. I would love to try this but it will be perfect for my Mum, so I will be popping this into her stocking.






I can easily say that this is the best box so far :) it's like getting an early xmas gift!

Glitter Nail Polish

I never thought I would be writing this but I am totally in love with glitter nail polishes!!! I am a matte nail polish girl at heart and hate metallic nail polishes, so never thought I would fall for glitter...but alas I think I have caught the xmas fever that makes you love all things shiny, glittery and festive!




It all started when my friend brought in her Barry M Blue Glitter Nail Paint into work and then I saw that Glossybox were sending out a Deborah Lippmann dark raspberry glitter color called Razzle Dazzle. I decided I would try it for my work Christmas Party but sadly my glossybox did not arrive in time and so I used my friends shiny bright blue glitter nail polish and it was love at first sight. I now have an uncontrollable urge to buy a glitter nail polish in every shade possible! I just hope I can resist this urge until the festive period is over, as that is when my love of all things glitter will end...
