Open my April Glossybox with me

Some its that time of the month again when i receive my Glossybox , and I am sad to say this will be my last one since receiving this months Glossybox i have cancelled , although i felt i was getting my moneys worth with the size of the products i don't feel like i use the products or even rate them  high enough to justify £13 a month although it does not seem a lot i have spent £156 pound this year on Glossybox and i have never liked any of the products enough to re purchase them i mean how many products could i of bought with £156 that i actually like? This months Glossybox theme was  ''organic'' although its a WILD guess because only 2 of the products out of the 5 were actually organic i don't feel they really did there research with this as how many organic products are on the market at the moment ? My skincare routine consists of all organic products using ''Spiezia'' so i was really excited to open it but sadly it let me down dam you Glossybox
The Glossybox normally comes in a chocolate brown and pink cardboard box and the box its self was made out of recycled paper so this is where i got the idea of the theme?



 Beautifully presented as always

The Contents

 Figs & rouge Lip Balm this is one of the Organic products which is a multipurpose balm.which can be applied to face lips & body ......Oh yes we love a good lip balm 

I was so excited when i saw this product as i have heard SO much about Caudalie, this is a ultra concentrated serum which is extremely natural & plant based, ensuring your skin never lacks moisture this goes on under your moisturizer 

Inika Cosmetics are certified organic .. but this means there not 100% , anyway this is not a colour i would normally wear  but as you can see depending on how hard you press you can achieve the look of different colours .... i wont be wearing this on my lips but i think it will look nice as a under eye eyeliner

Monu hand & nail cream_ A rich treatment which leaves hands soft, and nails and cuticles conditioned.Now this smells DEVINE we have previously been sent a Monu product which was a skin perfecter which i was'nt over keen on but this will defiantly be going in my hand bag

Now i don't no if its just me but seriously ?? what girl uses gel ? and if you do what do you use it for ?.... to me this was a really random and strange product to put in here but i think ill take it on holiday for the boyfriend

Rimmel Wake me up Foundation review

Helllllllloooooo :D.....

SO everyone's been raving about the new ''Wake me up Rimmel Foudation '' i spotted it in my local Asda for £8.95 & thought i'd give it a whirl i also grabbed the concealer because i was running low , so overall the foundation gains 4* out of 5 taken by the boots customer reviews , the disadvantages  written by the customers were :glittery, takes time to settle, bad for sensitive skin and awful for dry skin  the advantages written were , looks naturally flawless, blends nicely, good for dry skin and gives a dewy finish .
So i was so excited to try this as i DO NOT like Rimmel foundation at all , i find that after a few hours they always go patchy there drying and hard to blend and also i find there colour range is very orangey, so i tried it yesterday for the first time and i have to say i really really liked it the texture compared to there other foundations is completely different and apply's really easy .
The colour is not orangey at all and it blended really easy i love the look it left on my face but the only thing i didn't like , is the coverage was quite thick NOW this may not be the case as i have been using channel aqua and this is more of a tinted moisturizer so maybe going from the Chanel to the Rimmel i found it thick ..... i am going to carry on wearing this throughout the next week and will update this post here is some pictures for you

*-*Weekend Post*-*

Hello girlie wurlys :)

Hope everyone has had a famdiddydoso weekendo , i have had a quiet calm relaxing weekend with plenty of wine ( unusual for me as im not really a drinker ) but i had family over so it was a one off this Friday i was feeling a bit down. At the start of the week i am looking groomed to perfection but by the time it comes to Friday my nails are chipped my tinted eyebrows have faded, my skin is looking yanked and my body is dry and not so sun-kissed so most weekends i set a day where i just have ''me'' time get myself looking glam and feeling a little healthier, so this Friday i did the nails, slathered on the moisturizer piled on the face mask , and scrubbed til my skin was shining i took a picture of the products i used to share with you enjoy xoxoxoox
