September Glossybox
Wednesday, 26 September 2012
September Glossybox has arrived! This month Glossybox brought out a limited edition box with a exclusive design by up and coming illustrator Maggie Li, which represents the theme for the box- 'some of the most exciting rising stars across fashion, design and beauty'. The box is a really girly, green and pink design and i have already decided upon items i am going to store in here!

Inside the box:
- Lady Gaga Fame Fragrance 1.2ml
An opulent, crushed floral fragrance that's like black like the soul of frame but transparent once airborne.
Im never too excited about receiving tiny perfume samples that most of the time i barely use however for some reason with this, i want to see what she has created and if it in any way matches her crazy personality! I also am going to make sure i keep it in my handbag to use throughout the day.
-Rodial Glamoxy Snake Serum and 5 minute Facial
I know straight away that this one is going to my mum as i am only seventeen so id rather not bomb my face with products that are meant to reduce the appearance of wrinkles when i don't have any to start with! I am still excited to see how my mum fines them though and whether or not she feels they are worth taking the plunge and buying the full size products.
-Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream seven ml
This little one is said to soothe tired eyes, smooth away dark shadows and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Once again i don't have fine lines, yet i'm looking forward to using this as i hate the discolouration around my eyes.
-Vichy Idealia Day Care Cream 15ml
This is said to smooth and illuminate your skins texture and i've heard many good things about vichy skincare so this ones exciting to test out against my usual moisturiser.
-Maghrabian Hair Oil 10ml
I've always wanted to try a hair oil, but never got round to researching and finding one that will work for me so i'm definitely looking forward to trying this out to see if hair oil is my sort of cuppa tea!
Overall, it has to be said that at first viewing i was a little disappointed with this Glossybox due to the very small samples but i am still excited to try out all these products and see what i think!

Satchel Love
Friday, 21 September 2012
I am in love with my satchel! I recently purchased a new satchel for the start of sixth form, as the old one i previously used straps broke whilst still at school. So i went shopping looking to find a new satchel, that would go with most, if not all of my outfits at sixth form and then i found this little beauty in River Island!
September Empties!
So, its getting towards the end of September, time really does fly! and i thought id do a little September empties post.
Palmer's Cocoa Butter
I must have got this a good 3 years ago and was constantly using it for a few months after purchase. I would carry it in my school bag to use as hand cream and people would constantly ask if they could borrow it, the smell being the ultimate pull! From getting new hand creams, i began to use this less until a few months ago where i rediscovered my love! I am now totally in love once again and will definitely be repurchasing (maybe a full size and handbag size bottle!)

Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic and Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser
Its got to be said, i love Liz Earle! i have been through numerous bottles (as have many people) of the famous Cleanse and Polish. I also love these two products and am extremely sad to have finished them :(. I will definitely be repurchasing the toner and although i have many other moisturisers that need to be used, i know i will end up buying the Liz Earle moisturiser again. These products smell so clean and fresh and when i use them i can just feel the goodness that it is doing to my skin!
Max Factor Colour Adapt
This is another one of those products where i use around three quarters, then forget about it until a much later date. Well i finally got round to using it all up and clearing some more space! Its nothing special, just like your normal average foundation and i have new favorites now so i wont be repurchasing this, ruthless! ;)

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation
Like so many people i had heard all the reviews so decided to give this one a go! Apart from picking up a bottle with a broken lid, i also really liked it! I literally scraped out the last remains of this (got to get your money worth's!) but all is not lost as i have already purchased a new bottle, this time without a broken lid! Bosh.

Batiste Dry Shampoo
I have been through many bottles of dry shampoo, this one just adds to the list! This one wasn't a full size bottle, just a mini for travelling duties. I don't feel theirs much to say about dry shampoos except it does the job and doesn't leave my hair looking grey! It has gotta be said that Batiste is my favourite dry shampoo brand and i will be repurchasing this must have!
