September Boudoir Prive Box

Got my 2nd Boudouir Prive box this morning and I must admit, when I opened it I felt a bit "hmmmmm", maybe it's because I've been spoilt by full size products in Glossybox, and quite big bottles in last months Boudouir Prive. Anyhow, it is supposed to be samples, so we're not going to get full sized products every month, and now I've had a proper look at the products, I do feel a bit better about the box!

My favourite product in the box this month has to be the Zoya nail varnish in Jem, it's a beautiful purple with flecks of greeny gold, almost like a peacock feather, it's beautiful and i can see this being a favourite of mine for winter
Also in the box came a nail wheel thing which shows all the colours from the smoke and mirrors collection (you can just see this in my first picture)

Next product was the macadamia healing oil treatment (10ml bottle), now as i said in my glossybox post, I LOVE anything to do with hair, so I'm quite looking forward to testing this out, I've been using some Moroccan oil recently, so be good to see how this compares. Also helps that it smells divine!!!
Next out of the box was Cargo Boogie Nights eye pencil in "03 purple" I never really stray from black eyeliner, although saying that, this is more of a grey colour than purple, it's got little flecks of glitter in which  really like, but whether or not I'll use this I'm not really sure!

September Glossybox

I'm probably a bit late with this post, but hey, with 2 kids and a husband I don't get to blog much! I'm quite surprised at how much variation there has been in this months boxes. Personally I'm very pleased with mine, but some people have said how unhappy they were with theirs, some people got sachets of shampoo, where as others got full sized hair treatments. The previous boxes have been pretty much the same apart from differences in colours of stuff, nail varnishes, etc.
Anyhoo, on with the Glossybox! So i think everyone got the HD brows kit (although mine came unboxed with a seperate brush which is wayyyyyyyy too big to fit in the compact) I got "foxy", not sure if there was any variation in colours? I personally don't really do much with my eyebrows, but have had a little play with it, and actually quite like it! Really defines your eyebrows, so this will now be getting a bit of use from me

Next up is the Neal and Wolf Harmony Intensive Care treatment. Now I  LOVE anything to do with hair, I use tons of products on my hair, it's quite long (past shoulders) and I like it looking nice and shiny. This product is gorgeous!! I would deffo buy this again. It smells delish, it's not too heavy, doesn't make your hair feel greasy, and leaves it looking lovely and glossy, big thumbs up from me!
Next up is 2 sachets of spa magik salt scrub, this smells yummy, quite citrussy, the only thing I will say that I didn't like was that it felt a bit "stingy" on my shins, but not sure if this was because I had shaved my legs that morning???  Rubs on really nicely, left a little bit of an oily residue on my legs, but that rubbed into leave them quite smooth.  Really liked this product, even with my stingy legs lol
The last 2 products in my Glossybox were a bit "meh", the Plum perfume really reminded me of my Nan!! It's a very nannified (is that even a word??) smell, not to my taste at all, but hey, when you sign up to these boxes you can't be expected to like everything! The MOA green balm i'm not really sure what to do with it!  I've tried it on my lips, and I've rubbed a bit on a couple of spots on my face but hmmmmm, not really sure about it,  I'll probably keep it in the bottom of my handbag and use it on the kids when they scratch their knees! Can be Mummies special magic cream i think !
Overall I was pleased with this months Glossybox, the hair treatment is my favourite thing of all. I get excited waiting for it every month!! What did you get in yours???

Ok, so here goes, my first ever blog post!! Please bear with me, hopefully they will get better!

Well, we all know and love MUA, so yesterday i popped into Superdrug and couldn't resist buying a couple of bits! For a £1 a piece how could you not!!! First up is Lipstick in shade 9. Personally i LOVE MUA lipsticks, purely because not only are they gorg, they are so cheap you can buy loads!!!

It's a gorgeous plummy pink, goes on really nicely and has a bit of shimmer in it too (who doesn't love a bit of shimmer!)Excuse the nostrils fail, i'm new to taking pictures of my lips haha
















Now onto the eyeshadow, its shade 30, a gorgeous bronzy, gold colour (with added shimmer, again!)
