April Glossybox UK Review

My first Glossybox! I have never been interested in receiving sample boxes, they seem very expensive for just a couple of samples from brands I would never use. I have been hearing good things about Glossybox and reading up on posts from other bloggers. It seems Glossybox have taken on board that bloggers want to trial products from brands they have actually heard of. After a lot of consideration I decided to opt for a 3 month subscription as the longer the subscription the cheaper the package. I knew I’d want more than one box to really give a good report to my readers. I can’t recommend a sample box on just one use.

Reviewed: Essie Matte About You Topcoat

 

I heard so many good things about this product from other bloggers that I just had to find out what the hype was all about. Essie's Matte About You is a versatile, quick drying topcoat.

 

It's frickin' awesome! I adore this little beauty. At only £8 it's a bargain and you can create such amazing effects with it. It's incredibly fast drying, I mean blink and it's dry! So be careful when applying and do it quickly. It goes over just about any nail polish. You'll be surprised at how this will give your fav nail polish a new makeover. Essie also says that wearing hand lotion is fine with this product, you can apply as much hand lotion as you want without it interfering with the product. I did find that after a couple of days the matte did seem to fade but this was only with the black nail polish, with the pink I wore in my previous post, you can find that HERE, the effect lasted much longer. Depending on what polish you apply this topcoat over you will receive differing results.

How to use Models Own Glitter Magenta Divine

 

Glitter nails were all the rage at Christmas, full on in your face glitter. The kind that didn't come off, layer upon layer of glitter. I tried that look once and decided not to do it ever again. Opting for a more classic polished nail. I hate to waste things though, especially when something is as pretty as this Models Own glitter polish. Honestly, before today it was still sealed. I bought it in December at the Clothes Show so I could get a free goody bag. I love pink! Hot, soft, salmon, coral, any shade of pink and I'll wear it. I haven't done a nail post in awhile so thought I'd throw something together and see what happened.

February Superdrug Mini Haul

Today I headed into Norwich to get a few bits for Valentines, for myself and for Stu. It's safe to post them on here as I know he never reads my blogs, actually he doesn't even know the link ;) This is my little safe heaven, my girl spot, away from the hum drum. I headed straight for Boots to compare prices with Superdrug as many beauty bloggers seem to be shopping in the latter. I don't know which you prefer but I've always bought my cosmetics and toiletries from Boots. Superdrug are sometimes cheaper by about £1 on their own branded products, but brands are the same price. I just wish Boots stocked MUA!
