November Glossybox


This months box was pretty impressive. The boxes have been really good the last few months. It came with 5 full size items! I loved the variety in this box and it even came with  chocolate!


The first item is a set of three Wilkinson Sword Quattro Raspberry Rain Razors. These alone are worth £5.69 so I was impressed to see these in the box. This is hands down the best razor I have used. The razors have four blades and they shave off every single hair. The soft gel part on the razor has lasted a long time, it hasn't decided to crumble off like other razors after the first few uses! The raspberry scented handle is also a nice touch. 


Another product is the Ruby Large Tapered Blending Brush. This is worth £8. I absolutely love it when they include brushes in the boxes. Mainly because I'm too lazy to wash my existing brushes. haha. I've been using this one as a crease brush to blend the darker eyeshadow into the crease of my eye. It's such a lovely brush, it's really soft, has no fallout, and blends really well.

The 111Skin Bio Cellulose Facial Treatment mask came in this months box. It is worth a whopping £20! Now, I would NEVER repurchase this and pay that for a single sheet mask, but this was a nice treat from the box. It didn't irritate my sensitive skin, which is always a good thing. It really did hydrate my skin and leave it feeling lovely and soft. The mask was so huge, it kept sliding off my face. However, that could have been because I have a bit of a pea head...


Another product is the De Bruyere Beaute Jumbo Eye Pencil in Bubble 07. This one is worth £15. I absolutely love eyeshadow crayons! They are so quick to use, and this blends out great with the Ruby Tapered Brush. It's a lovely light copper colour, with a slight shimmer to it. It blends out really well and only creased at the end of the day!



The last product is the Kiss Looks So Natural Lashes. These were a little tricky to apply, and the glue took such a long time to dry. I would use the Eyelure glue next time! These are nice lashes for an everyday use but the lashes I usually use are a lot more dramatic than these. They have a good length band and I didn't need to trim these ones. These are worth £4.95.

I was really impressed with this month's box, it's worth a total of  £53.64!

Tanya Burr's Autumn Collection


I'm a little late writing this blog post. A lot late actually. I've been so busy with my new placement, university assignments and general life that I have neglected my blog! I've got lots of posts lined up though as I've been pretty spendy recently! (oops)

The new Tanya Burr Autumn collection looked so fabulous that I had to try out a few bits. The packaging is so beautiful! The collection is composed of 6 lipstick shades, 3 cheek illuminator shades, a body illuminator, face illuminator and a Midnight Smoulder eyeshadow palette. 


Firstly, I picked up the Forever Cheek Illuminator. This is a pinky-toned highlighter. Out of the three this is the one I would use most. It provides a really glowy finish. There are no glitter particles or anything like that in it, just a really nice sheen. The texture is really creamy, It blends nicely and is super easy to apply in the stick form. This one is really lovely for a cheekbone highlight. It was £6.99.



I also picked up the Face Illuminator. This one was £7.49, a little goes a really long way with this product, so it's great value for money. This is really similar to the L'Oreal Lumi Magique Pure Light Primer. It provides an amazing base. It adds a lot of glow to your base. Foundation applies really well on top of this. It's a little tricky to dispense as it has a pump but the product is in a tube, so sometimes the product doesn't pump out. It also smells like cocoa butter.


Out of the 6 lipsticks I chose Birthday Cake. This was the one I felt I would get the most wear out of. It's a light pink. This one is really Similar to Mac's Creme Cup. It glides on nicely and leaves a nice shine to your lips. The lipstick has really good pigmentation as well as being super hydrating. These are £6.99.


Lastly, I purchased the Midnight Smoulder Eyeshadow Palette. This was £5.99 and was such a bargain. All of Tanya's palettes are pigmented but this one is SUPER pigmented. The shadows are such good quality. I love the quad shadow palettes she comes out with as they are super handy and are so reasonably priced. This one is really good for a wintery evening look. They blend really well and the packaging is so pretty.


Swatches Bottom-Top = Forever Summer Cheek Illuminator, Lipstick in Birthday Pink, Star Gazing Shadow, Endless Sky Shadow, Midnight Navy Shadow, Into the Night Shadow.

I absolutely love this range. Good job Tanya. The products are such good quality for money and the packaging is stunning!
