Glossybox | Pop art edit

When I posted the Iconic Hollywood edition Glossybox I mentioned there was an offer running with Glossy Box UK for two boxes for £22.00. The second of the boxes that arrived was the Pop Art Edit. I don't think I could bring myself to ever throw the box away it's so pretty. I was however quickly over the box and found myself yanking the lid of, pulling the pretty bow apart and diving into the goodies in excitement. 

Flutter so susan mascara 
I can't say I rated this too much, although it's a mascara, I will use it. 

Ciate paint pot, nail varnish 13.5ml
It's bright, it's yellow, it's pop art. Ciate is a popular nail varnish brand and one which is usually well reviewed and known for quality. It took two coats to really make the colour pop, but I liked this. Yellow nails aren't really fitting for my skin tone but a nice product. I just need a tan now to pull it of. This did last a good few days before chipping too.

Nuxe crème fraiche masque 50ml 
A super product for dry skin and creating a glowy fresh face for summer. The product had a floral somewhat overpowering smell which made me feel the product was somewhat "cheap". My skin felt moisturised and supple after which was great but unfortunately the scent was of-putting, for me personally.     

Etrebelle - Liftlip peel 15ml
Essentially a lip scrub and a nice product to have in your beauty stash. Perfect for prepping lips before a bold lippy colour and fighting dry chapped lips. 

Rimmel BB cream, shade light, 8ml
Quite a light product which provides a good medium coverage, defiantly more than most BB creams. Despite the matt finish which I often overlook the product looked fresh and gave a natural looking fresh faced finish. 

Yves Rocher | Quelques Notes d'Amour | L'Eau de parfume 5ml
I actually really really like this it's a similar musky smell (not in a grandma way) to other scents such as Gucci Rush. I'm finding it really hard to find this online to find the prices. I'm not 100% sure if this has been fully released yet. Either way it smells divine and the sample will be a great addition to my handbag until I track down a full sized bottle.

Glossybox | Iconic Hollywood edit

I'm not usually one for subscribing to beauty boxes, but I landed myself on the glossy box mailing list after I purchased the limited edition Harvey Nics box some time ago. I purchased that box purely because it contained a full sized product from my favourite hair brand show beauty. Anyhow I noticed an email with regards to their current special offer of two limited edition boxes for £22.00 and thought I'd treat myself.

Despite not subscribing permanently to any subscription boxes, I do still love the excitement of surprise parcels.  Plus at £11.00 a box it was highly likely I would get my money worth from something inside the box...if not just from the excitement of waiting to find out just what the box would contain alone. 

The box contains: 

Lord and Berry, lipstick pencil in kiss, full size product £10.00

A classic orange-red lipstick would be an essential for creating any iconic Hollywood look. Unfortunately the Lord and Berry lip pencil doesn't exactly seem to provide the luxury expected from Hollywood as the fact it smelt like an actual pencil, was well, of-putting.That aside the colour was nice and it did last on the lips. The colour doesn't exactly suit me but a colour fitting for the iconic Hollywood theme. 

Pop Beauty, Kajai eyeliner pen, full size £6.50

Eye liner, I would guess is something nearly every girl has in her make up bag. So from the point of glossybox a full sized eye liner is playing it pretty safe. The eye-liner is a soft pencil, ideal for smudging (with the little smudger on the end) into a smoky eye look. The eye liner doesn't seem to last long though and in fact the "smudger" on the end seems to wipe it clean of your eyes. 

Darphin, Exquisage beauty revealing cream (sample size), full size £65.00 50ml

It's always hard to review a moisturiser, there are very few which I think wow! Plus it's always a little unfair to post a review after a few weeks. For the full size price tag I want a product that makes my skin glow after one use. Ok so the price tag is in line with many good quality moisturisers, but if I'm honest although the product certainly felt luxurious I don't plan on spending that kind of money on moisturiser until I feel I need wrinkle cream... 

Color club, barley there nail polish, full size £4.10

A nice nude colour and again in keeping with the Hollywood classic theme. The nude colour isn't anything I own in my nail polish collection (there's so many!) so it will be a nice edition. 

Nougat london soothing bath pearls £6.00 for 35ml

Due to only having a shower I couldn't try these. I do also feel bath pearls, bath salts and all that jazz looks a little old fashioned and I know it's something I would never purchase. My box contained the scent cherry blossom, although I couldn't smell anything, not sure if it would react better in water.
