Glossybox August 2014

Glossybox August 2014.

Hello everyone,
I hope you are all okay? I hope you guys enjoyed reading my last post, I know it was a bit different but I really enjoyed writing it! 
This post is going to be about the August Glossybox. I wouldn't say that this was the best box I have had, I have definatley had better. This Glossybox did not come with a magazine, it just came with the card that tells you about the products, where you can purchase them and whether the products in the box are full size or not.
  
                                                                                                       Lalique L'amour

This is the Lalique L'amour perfume, I really love the smell of this perfume. I would say that this perfume has a very girly scent to it. I think it has a slight under tone of paraviolets (Omg I love those sweets) I would also say that it has a light musky flowery smell. The thing I love about this perfume is that its a subtle smelling perfume its not over powering. When I wore this perfume it literally lasted all day (Which everyone wants in a perfume). I definatley think that I will be buying the full size of this when the sample runs out. You can purchase this perfume from http://www.boots.com/en/Lalique/Lalique-Fragrances-for-Her/ The full size for the 50ml costs £67.00 and for the 100ml it cost £94.00.

                                                                                                 Philip Kingsley Elasticizer

This is the Philip Kingsley Elasticizer pre shampoo treatment, I have never used anything like this before, I really liked using this product! The texture of the product is like a cream. I applied this to the ends of my hair and wrapped my hair in cling film because it tells you to cover your hair, I left the product in the ends of my hair for 20 minutes. I then washed my hair with shampoo and used conditioner and rinsed it out. When my hair dryed my hair felt really soft and made my hair really shinny! This product is suitable for all hair types. This hair product does not have a scent. I loved this product I will also be purchasing the full size of this product too! On the card that comes with the Glossybox with the products on it says that the 250ml full size costs £38.00 but I couldn't find it on there website so I will leave the link and you guys can see if you can find it if 
your interested. http://www.lookfantastic.com/elysium.search?search=250ml+philip+&searchFilters=Y29uY2Vzc2lvbiMtbGZpbnRcOmNvbmNlc3Npb25fY29udGVudDoqIVBoaWxpcCBLaW5nc2xleSNlbl9icmFuZF9jb250ZW50OlBoaWxpcCBLaW5nc2xleSE%3D 
                                                                                               Yves Rocher Pink nail polish

This is the Yves Rocher pink nail varnish, I love the colour of this nail varnish! But the nail varnish its self I didn't not like. When you paint it onto your nail its comes out very streaky, I let the first coat dry and applied another coat and even  the second coat dried streaky. I didn't even bother leaving the nail varnish to dry to see how long it would last for. I think I will definatley be looking for the same colour but from a different make. The full size product is £3.60 for a 3ml http://www.yves-rocher.co.uk/control/product/~category_id=2000/~pcategory=2000/~product_id=W06852?cmSrc=Category
                                                                    Kryolan for Glossybox Highlighter Cashmere

This is the Kryolan for Glossybox Highlighter Cashmere, I absolutly love this highlighter! It has a creamy consistency. The highlighter is very easy to apply and blend out. I apply this product on my cheekbones my browbone and on my cupids bow just to brighten everything up. The colour of the product in the pot is like a pinky beige colour, But when its applied to the skin its a pinky gold colour. When I have used this product up I will definatley be purchasing a new one! The full size cost £12.95 4.5g. I have looked on the website to find this product but I cant find it, but I will still leave the link anyway incase you would like to see there other products. https://uk.kryolan.com/products/face-body/highlighter

                                                                                      Figs & Rouge mini hand cream

This is the Figs & Rouge hand cream, I love the packaging to this hand cream! I think this had got to be the best hand cream I have used. At first when you apply it to the skin it feels watery but once it has absorbed into the skin it makes your hands feel really soft! I love the smell of this product it smells like sweets ( I cannot think what sweet it smells like though lol) the hand cream says it smells like mango and madarin but I dont think it does.  Full size £6.95 80ml http://www.feelunique.com/p/Figs-and-Rouge-Mango-Mandarin-Shea-Butter-Hand-Cream-20ml

                                                                                           Essence Longlasting lipstick

This is the Essence Longlasting lipstick, I love the colour of this product! I would say that it is a pinky purple colour. This lipstick looks really natural on, I would add this into my everyday makeup! I think this is a new brand out because I have only recentley seen it advertised on the tele. This product costs £ 2.29 http://www.essence.eu/en/store-finder.

10 Things which make me happy - Tag

I was tagged by Rosie to do the " 10 things which make me happy" Tag

Find her blog here http://www.rosielucky.co.uk/

10 Things which make me happy;

1) My fiance and my son;  I love my fiance Mark and my son Harry so much! Whenever I am feeling down they both always manage to put a smile on my face. When my son does new things such as saying new words for the first time it makes me so happy and so proud! Words cannot explain how much I love them both and how much they make me happy! My son isnt even eight months yet and he can say; Mum, Dad,Nan,Ta,Duck and Hello! :) 

I am aware that we all look a bit ruff, long painful day!

2) Friends and family:  It makes me so happy knowing that I have such supportive friends and family. I am so lucky to have such special people in my life! My friends and family are always there for me if I am having a bad time with my panic attacks/ anxiety which I have suffered with since I was about 8 or 9, I feel so comfortable to express how I feel about it with them.

Me and my close friend Koren :) 

I am so happy to have a special friend like this girl. We was both embarrassed at first to tell people how we met because we met on Habbo! But now I don't care because I have gained such a close friendship with her. When we first met each other it felt like we had met so many times before! We just get on so well, I just wish we lived so much closer! :( I really hope to see you soon chick! <3

3) Doing my makeup and hair:   It makes me happy when I have done my makeup and my hair. It makes me feel alot more confident in myself, it makes me happy when I can achieve new looks and manage to do new hair styles! :) 

My makeup & my hair style I have recently learnt
to do :) 

4) Chocolate: I absolutely love Chocolate! My favourite has got to be peanut m&ms, I did used to love snickers until when I was pregnant and I ate so much of it, YUCK! I don't like dark chocolate neither white so its obviously got to be milk chocolate aha! :)

Mmm my fav

5) Youtube: Everyday without a fail I go on Youtube and watch beauty videos. They always cheer me up, I love watching how people do their hair and makeup. I love learning new things from peoples videos. I have also uploaded a video of my everyday makeup to my Youtube here is the link if you would like to go and watch it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vatC1i0iYK8, it was really fun and I really enjoyed doing it. I must say though it did feel strange just speaking to a camera.

6) A cup of tea:  The first thing I do in the morning is go downstairs and make a cuppa. Tea is the only thing I really drink during the day, I hardly ever drink juice. I am tea obsessed I have to have my tea strong and with one sugar. I hate making tea in my house because the minute my family hear the kettle boil everyone wants a cup of tea lol! 

7) Xbox: Although I would say that I am girly, I do really like to play xbox with my fiance. We love playing Battlefield, Call of duty and zombies. The only time I dont like playing xbox is when im getting my but kicked lmao!

8) Blogging: I absolutely love blogging! I love that I can write my tips for beauty and things on here and that you guys can read it and take things from it, I really hope that my blog helps you guys! 

9) Animals: I love animals so much! They always make me happy. I have always grown up with animals. I have two cats, two rabbits and one dog. It upsets me so much knowing that there are horrible people out there badly treating such innocent animals! My favourite animal has got to be a horse, I think they are beautiful and I think they smell like tea lol! 

10) Watching Family Guy: I never used to like family guy, I never used to get what they was talking about and things like that. Its only since I have been with my fiance that I have been getting into it. My fiance is obsessed with it, Now I cant stop laughing at it when it is on :) 

I know this blog was a bit different but I hope you guys enjoyed reading it. Feel free to comment below on the things that make you happy! 

Thanks again Rosie at http://www.rosielucky.co.uk/ for tagging me to do this post :)
