FEBRUARY FAVOURITES

Well hello there!

I had my eyebrows microbladed just over a couple of weeks ago, so I haven't really been wearing makeup lately as they need to heal etc. As I haven't been really wearing makeup for half of this month I haven't tested out a lot, so I will put a few items I have been using when I can.

My first favourite of the month is the Makeup Revolution Conceal & Define Concealer. Obviously you all know about this by now, it has been raved about everywhere and by everyone! It is such an amazing thick concealer for under the eyes as the coverage is insane. It is not the best for covering blemishes but apart from that I love this, it has been in my everyday makeup bag ever since I bought it.

My next favourite of the month is the Benefit Rollerlash Mascara. Benefit is a high end brand so I was sceptical about buying the full size mascara, I opted for the travel size so I could test it out. Safe to say I might as well have bought the full size because I love this mascara! It is so good for lengthening and curling my lashes, and separates them perfectly. It does not thicken them but it does make them very black which I like as my natural eyelashes are so fair. I do have my eye on the new Benefit Bad Gal Bang Mascara, but there is a travel size one coming in the next Birch Box which I am excited to try out!

My third favourite of the month is the Too Faced Chocolate Bronzer, I have not been using this for ages but I have fallen in love with it already. It is a buildable bronzer which I like and it smells like chocolate yum!! It is a beautiful warm bronzer that looks really good on fair/light skin. It is expensive but this will last you a long time!

My last favourite of the month is the Mac Blush in Pinch Me. I never used to like using blush whatsoever but lately I have really been getting into it. I had heard so many good things about the Mac ones so I decided to treat myself to one. I never know what shades of blush suit a paler skin tone so this one could be seen as a little bit too dark, but because it is a sheer tone blush I can easily build it up. 

So those were my February Favourites!

GLOSSY BOX OPENING | FEBRUARY 2018

Well hello there!

I have another Glossy Box opening for you and this is for the month of February. This is probably my favourite box yet! I am obsessed with the design on the box, it has lipsticks, lips, lollies, rainbows and hearts on it, and the bottom of the box is neon pink. I am definitely keeping it for storage.

In this months box you get:

 Sleek Makeup i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette - I was very happy to see this in the box as I am very familiar with the brand. I don't think everyone gets the same eye shadow palette but my one is the 'Vintage Romance' palette. All the shades in this palette have glitter in them and omg I swatched these and they look amazing! I know finger swatches are not the most reliable but I am looking forward to testing this out. This is a full size product and it retails for £8.99.

Skin Chemists Aqua Repair Facial Serum - I love face products that hydrate your skin as my face get can really dry. This is actually suitable for all skin types which is good, even if you have oily skin and you have received this I would still try it. It is supposed to minimise redness and deliver deep hydration. I am really excited to try this because wait for it....this small 30ml bottle is full size and it costs £64!!! My mouth dropped to the floor when I saw that price, I assume that this will be amazing.

Ciaté London Nail Varnish - Again another familiar brand in the box which is good to know, I didn't even know that Ciaté made nail varnishes. I get my nails done so I won't be using this on my finger nails but will definitely be using it on my toes. Everyone gets different colours and I got the shade 'Seas Of The Day', it is the most beautiful bluey green shade. This is also a mini so not full size, but I don't use nail varnish very often so I'm cool with it. This mini size retails for £6 and the full size bottles retail for £9.

Steve Laurant Lip Tint - We have seen this brand before as it featured in the December box, and I love that liquid eyeliner I have used it a few times and it is really good. This product is called a lip gloss on the box, but it is definitely a lip balm. It has a slight nudey tint to it which is pretty and it has the most boujeeist packaging for a lip balm I have ever seen! It is a glass container with a rose gold lid, it feels very luxurious. This is full size and it retails for £17!

Studio10 Beauty Makeup Glow-Plexion Mist - Never heard of this brand before but it sounds like a good product. This mist will prime, refresh and hydrate your skin which sounds good to me! It is a primer but it says that you can use it as a setting spray as well which I tend to do anyway. The packaging is super cute, it is grey, white and silver which is a bit of me. It has a lot of claims on the bottle: it smooths, illuminates, refreshes and brightens dull and lackluster skin, helps refine skin texture and reduced the appearance of open pores. Lets hope it works! This is the travel size and it retails for £14 and the full size retails for £26.

There are a few more products listed on the card so I'm guessing not everyone will receive the same products, but I am really happy with the ones I did get. If you would like to subscribe to Glossy Box, then you can here.

So that was this months Glossy Box.
