Orlando Make Up Haul
I recently went on holiday to Orlando, Florida. I had such an amazing time and didn't want to leave! One of the places in Orlando is Disney Springs, they have lots of shops and restaurants there and it's such a lovely place to spend a few hours. They had a Sephora and a MAC so naturally I did a bit of shopping. We also visited the Florida Mall and Target a few times where I purchased more beauty related things.
From MAC I finally bought the Lipstick 'Honey Love', it's one of their matte lipsticks and is a light brown-nude shade. I also bought a travel size strobe cream which I am loving to mix with a foundation for a glowy base.
From Sephora I picked up a few more things. I finally got my hands on the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette. I haven't seen anything like this palette, it's so unique. I also picked up the Tarte Light's, Camera, Flashes mascara which gives my lashes so much volume and definition, one of my new favourites! From Tarte I also picked up the Tarteist Mini Lip Contour set in TBT and Latergram which create an amazing brown lip.
I purchased a mini Smashbox photo finish primer to try out, and lastly, I picked up the Benefit Gimme Brow in colour 5.
I picked up some American drug store make up from Target. I really wanted to get my hands on some physicians formula products. I picked up the Powder Palette Mineral Glow Pearls which is SUCH a gorgeous highlighter! The Shimmer Strips Shadow and Liner also made it's way into my basket.
From Covergirl I picked up a Cheekers Blush in the shade Iced Cappuccino which is a peachy brown shade. Also from Covergirl I got the Clean Matte foundation in Classic Ivory which I haven't actually tried yet, along with the Covergirl Clean Invisible concealer in the shade Fair. I may do a blog post on these if I like them!
I picked up two quad eyeshadow palettes from Wet n Wild, one in the shade Walking on Eggshells, and the other in Silent Treatment. these were $2.79 each so it had to be done! Again I haven't had a chance to test these out so I will let you know if they are any good or not!
From NYX I picked up the Micro Brow Pencil in Ash brown. This is such a good dupe for the ABH Brow Wiz! Lastly, I bought the Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Colour in the shade Giant Peach.
Now to find somewhere to put it all!

My New Favourite Outfit
Now the weather has finally got better I've been buying more summer clothes. I'm really liking pretty embroidered cream tops at the moment and have been buying quite a few as they go with everything! This top and skirt combo are from Miss Selfridge, who always sell the prettiest clothing! Annoyingly enough though both pieces are now in the Miss S sale, gutting!
Sunglasses- here
Shoes- Topshop (old)
Bag- River Island
P.s Apologies for the picture quality, I'm still learning and should have used my DLR for these!

July Glossybox
This months Glossybox was a good'n. These are the sort of products I love to receive! There are four full size products and one travel size product.
The Utan and Tone Nourishing Night Creme came in this months Glossybox. I've only used this once admittedly. The Creme is supposed to work as a night cream and a gradual tan for the face. The cream doesn't have a smell to it and when rubbed in makes my skin feel nice and soft. The formula is quite light and feels hydrating. I didn't really notice a difference in my skin tone the next morning but the product is a gradual tan so repetitive use I'm guessing would build the tan up,
The product I was most looking forward to was the Blank Canvas Cosmetics Flat Brush. I love trying out new brushes and I love hoarding them just because they look pretty on my dressing table! The bristles on this feel so soft and I have had no fallout. This brush blends foundation in really well and I also really love using it to apply blusher in a stippling motion to create a natural wash of colour to my cheeks.
Another product I received in the box was the Icona Milano mascara. The only way I can describe this mascara is that it 'does the job'. I wasn't wowed with the product, it doesn't do anything extraordinary. It lightly coats the lashes and separates them. One thing I will say though is that it isn't clumpy and does separate the lashes.
Another of my favourites from this month's Glossybox was the Hawaiian Tropic Lip Gloss in Island Berry. I love that this has an SPF of 25 as it's super important to wear SPF everywhere on show to the sun in summer! My lips got burnt a few weekends ago and it was not cool! The gloss smells amazing like berries, and it tastes amazing as well. The gloss isn't sticky and feels quite moisturising too. This has definitely become a handbag staple for me this summer!
The last product in the box was the Hairon De-tangling Brush. I much prefer this brush to the Tangle Teezer, The brush is a much better shape as it fits well in the palm of your hand and this provides a good grip. The brush is suitable for use on wet or dry hair and is such a good size that can easily fit in your handbag. The brush doesn't snag hair off and feels a lot more gentle when brushing than the Tangle Teezer.
I was pretty impressed with the box this month, definitely one of the better boxes I have received!
