October Glossybox

This contents of this month's box were chosen by Youtuber Essie Lalonde. It contains 4 full size products and one miniature product. There's also an extra mystery product in this months box! I was really impressed with this months box and love each and every product!

The first Item in the box is the Trifle Cosmetics Lip Parfait in Exotic Fruits. Firstly, the packaging of this product is adorable. I love the card packaging with the cute fruit images and the gold tube inside. The formula is very light and hydrating.The colour looks like a very light pink. However when you apply it it is so light that it looks like you have applied foundation to your lips! I was probably most disappointed by this product as it simply looks lovely. 

The next product is the Universal Beauty Cosmetics Secret Flush Soothing Cream Blusher and Lip Stain Duo. It is worth £15.00! This is such a lovely product! It's a lovely colour for this time of year. As a blush I was surprised at how well it blended. It's really build-able and gives a lovely rosy glow to your cheeks. I also really like using it as a lip colour. It's really creamy and fairly pigmented with a lovely sheen.This is a handbag essential!

Another product in the box was the Rituals Ritual of Sakura Magic Touch Body Cream. This is worth £6.00. I already have the Rituals Ritual of Sakura Shower Foam that has this scent and I love it. It smells so relaxing and calming. It's quite a thick moisturiser but it sinks in pretty quickly. The smell lingers on your skin for a long time.  It feels really soothing and hydrating on skin.

The Bee Good Honey and Camelina Facial Exfoliator was also included in this months box. I've tried things from this brand before and loved them, and this one didn't disappoint! It smells quite herbal and relaxing. It doesn't have as many beads in it as I usually like but I like a really harsh facial scrub. After use it it leaves my skin feeling lovely and soft. I'm going through a bit of a break out at the moment so I'm hoping this will help de-congest any clogged pores! This is worth £10.50.

Another product is the PS PRO Longwear Lip Liner Pen from the Primark Beauty range. It's in the shade Red Carpet Red. This is worth £3.00. I was so surprised by this product! The colour is a lovely deep red. I've never used a lip liner that's like a felt tipbefore, but it applied so precisely and didn't bleed at all. A real staple product for Autumn. I can't wait to try out other products from the range!

The last product was a mystery shampoo. It's a bestselling shampoo that has recently had an update. I have a feeling it's a new Head and Shoulders Shampoo as it smells very similar to one I'm currently using!  It's a really handy travel size!

Autumnal Clothing Haul

I've slowly been gathering items for my Autumn wardrobe. The weather is changing pretty fast and I threw out a lot of last years warmer clothes, so I had to get some more! I love layering in Autumn to keep on trend and warm at the same time! Here's what I got:

I really like high necked tops, so I stocked up on a few for winter. I love plain tops underneath dungarees, pinafores or thick skirts in the winter. I also purchased an Adidas long sleeve top for lazy days!

Zara- you did good! (Heart eyes emoji)

Along with the tops I purchased some bottoms. I'm absolutely loving dungarees and pinafores at the moment! They look so cute over a high neck top. This burgandy pinafore is perfect for this time of year with some little booties! 
I also picked up some Adidas Gazelle's because I really needed a pair of warm shoes other than boots or converse! Schuh are also currently doing 20% off for students....

My favourite 5 eyeshadow palettes

Eyeshadow is something I absolutely love. I love the smokey eye look with winged liner. I tend to buy more eyeshadow palettes than individual eyeshadows just for the convenience. Buying a palette means you always have shades that go together, and it's more convenient for travelling. I have a mixture of high end and drugstore palettes.

My first favourite is the Too Faced Boudoir eyeshadow palette. I've had this for a few years now and I always go back to it. I love how they shades are in rows of three to create three looks. I usually always wear the bottom row for a night out, it creates an amazing dark smoky eye. The shadows in this palette are so pigmented and blend really well. The palette contains a mixture of matte,satin and glittery shades. This one is £29.

A drugstore favourite is the Wet 'n' Wild Comfort Zone eyeshadow palette. This one was a bargain at £7 off of Amazon! The shades in this palette are SO pigmented and of really amazing quality. The palette creates two looks. One is a greeny look and the other creates a berry-toned eye. Both look amazing. The shades blend really well, they are quite glittery but I like that anyway!

Another drug store palette I love is the Tanya Burr Enchanted Dream palette. This is a quad of three plum shades and a champagne colour. This palette is £5.99. Bargain. The colours aren't as pigmented as I would like them to be but what do you expect at £5.99 for three shades? There are two matte shades and two satin shades. I love the colours in this palette and I don't have any similar to these! he packaging is also super pretty.

The Morphe 35T palette is another of my faves. This is such a perfect Autumnal palette. You can create so many different bronze, berry, and grey shaded looks. There are a mixture of matte, satin and glittery shadows. They are all super pigmented and blend really well. This palette is such good value for money at £19.50!

Lastly, my most used palette. The Urban Decay Naked palette. There are three shades in this palette that I wear all the time. Half baked, smog, and darkhorse. There are matte, satin and glittery shades in the palette. They create my favourite bronze look. The shades in this palette are so buttery, and they blend like a dream. You can create so many looks with this palette, and it is £38.50.

The Body Shop Vitamin E Range

I always love it when I find a skincare range that works well with my skin type. I was in need of a new morning face wash and decided to try the Body Shop Vitamin E Gentle Face Wash. I have really sensitive skin so it's always a risk now with trying new products as I never know how my skin will react. However, my skin was absolutely fine with this product. It has a really subtle comforting scent and foams up on my face nicely. It comes out of the tube slightly pink, thick and creamy. When I wash it off it leaves my skin feeling so soft and clean.

Once I decided how much I loved the face wash I thought I would pick up a few more bits from the Vitamin E range. Another product I purchased from the range was the Vitamin E Hydrating Toner. I only own acid toners and thought it would be nice to have a gentle one for my evening routine. This is to remove any last traces of make-up and for that bit of extra moisture. It's a really nice and gentle toner which dries really quickly after being swiped over my face.

I don't own a sleeping mask and as the weather is getting colder I thought I would try one. It's suggested to use this one 1-2 times a week which is what I've been doing. It's a really thick moisturising mask that surprisingly sinks in really quickly. My skin feel so soft in the morning, I really love this product and what it does to my skin!
