March Glossybox 2015


Hello my lovelies and a Happy Thursday to you all, whose got that Friday feeling yet? I feel like recently I may have neglected my blog a little. Recently I have been really busy at work and working over time that I just haven't been in the mood to write lot's of blog posts after a long day at work. I feel that blogging shouldn't be a chore. I started my blog as a hobby which I have loved creating and watching it grow. I don't wan't to write blog posts for the sake of writing blog posts, it's something I want to enjoy. I just felt like I needed a break from blogging to re-fresh myself and I now feel in the right mood to write a blog posts for you all. Another reason could be the fact that my March Glossybox arrived yesterday which just filled me with excitement as it's a gooden and it reminded me that I love talking about make-up and beauty which was why I started my blog. The fact that Spring is here also puts me in a good mood. Seeing all the pastel colours with the flowers, lambs, easter and sunnier and warmer days just fills me to the brim with excitement. The March Glossybox is all about the start of Spring and it is packed full with six products I think it could be my favourite ox yet? My personal favourite from last months box would have to be 100% the Tinties lip butter in Coral, in fact I'm pretty sure I mentioned this in my February favourites post. It's a gorgeous and moisturising coral shade that can be built up. It is an orange shade yet with red undertones which I think make it easier to pull off an orange shade if like me you're a bit nervous of orange.


Youthful Vitality Shampoo and Conditioner By Dove
Starting with all things hair, I know it sounds weird but I love trying new shampoo and conditioner. Straightening my hair and getting my ends ombred has left my ends a little worse for wares although I am straightening my hair less and I'm noticing a dramatic change as my ends appear to stay healthier for longer. Any shampoo that mentions repairing dry and damaged hair gets a thumbs up from me so this one defiantly appeals. It also smells really fresh and fruity which is another plus point as let's be honest it's nice to have fresh smelling hair. Being 19 I wouldn't say that my hair is particularly damaged from ageing which is what these products are especially designed for. Yet these claim to make hair softer and shinnier and restore fullness which is what my hair could always do with a top up with. I love the fact that these are smaller tubes or bottles what ever you want to call them. They are the perfect size for traveling so you don't need to mess about transferring shampoo into tiny containers and losing more of the product then what you actually take with you through the process. It's also better then buying full size bottles as it allows you to test the shampoo and conditioner and if it doesn't work you won't be left with a bottle of shampoo three quarters full that just sits at the back of your bathroom cupboard for two years. Dove is a very natural brand with nourishing goodness so for those of you with sensitive skin I would recommend giving Dove ago. These are individually proved at £5.99 each.


Moisturising Peeling Exfoliator By NAOBAY
Moving on from hair to face, the next product is one that excites me greatly. This is from another brand that I'm new to but thats another thing I love about Glossybox is it's a way to discover new and exciting brands. This is an organic peeling milk which you can use as a face scrub to exfoliate your face by removing any dirt, dead skin cells and impurities that may be clogging up your pores. You should aim to exfoliate your face about once a week and I usually try and do mine every Saturday just so I get into the routine and I don't forget. Massage the product into damp skin and then wash off with a wet cloth. I love the feeling once I've used an exfoliator, my skin feels really soft and nourished afterwards you just know you've done your skin some good after smothering it in make-up for the rest of the week. I love the natural and organic principles behind this brand as having sensitive skin I'm always cautious of trying new products and the more natural the better in my eyes. I also love the sleek and simple packaging of the product it's right up my street. You can pick one of these up for £13.71 so they are a little pricy compared to others although I think it will be worth it. I will leave a comment on how I get on with this one.


Lash Princess Volume Mascara By Essence
Now this is what I call a hearty mascara. The product is massive so you must get your moneys worth with this one. Mascara isn't something I get massively excited about to be honest. I naturally have quite long lashes and I find a lot of mascaras despite the brand, wand and shape seem to have a similar effect. Yet saying all that I still have my favourites and I won't say no to a freebie. I don't normally use a curved wand although I really like the shape of this wand as it is shaped to match your eyelids allowing you to get an even distribution of mascara giving a more natural effect. This mascara claims to enhance length and volume. Although I've never tried any products from essence before and giving the cobra shaped wand I'm excited to give this mascara a whirl as I think it's going to be a gooden and reduce the amount of time it takes to apply mascara. You can pick one of these up for £3.30 so it is definitely a more affordable mascara.



Pout Paint By Sleek
Sleek is one of my favourite brands from the hughstreet. I especially love their face products such as their bronzers, blushers and highlighters. I have always wanted to try some of their lip products but for some reason I haven't got round to it until now. The pout paint is a liquid lipstick which allows you to have a choice on how bold you want your lipstick to be allowing you to build it up for a more bolder colour or less layers for a more sheer subtle look. This lipstick is in the shade port which is a gorgeous deep berry shade that would be perfect for the Autumn/Winter or for a night out. They do so many gorgeous shades I also have my eye on Milkshake and Rosette as I do like my pinks. I also think that this is the sort of lip product that would last you a long time as a little goes a long way so you would definitely get your moneys worth. You can pick one of these up for £4.99.


Nail Polish By ncLA
The colour of this nail polish just sums up Spring. For those of you who have been following my blog for a while now you will all know that I have a real weakness for nail polish. I own way too many and far more than a healthy amount, yet I use them all regularly which I keep telling myself to justify my ever growing collection. When I opened my Glossybox my eyes were drawn straight away to this product to the vibrant coral shade which is a pale neon orange. I don't own any nail polishes from ncLA yet it will probably be another brand that I become obsessed with and purchase more of just to add to my collection. Looking at their website I know for a sure fact that this gem will be joined by others in the future they have an amazing range of colours and textures I could quite happily buy the whole range. Colours in particular would be Eight Days A Week (pastal sky blue) and Clear The Runway (deep reddish burgundy). If you're a fan of glitters then this would also be a brand to check out. This colour in particular is called I Only Fly Private which I just love the name of. I think it will look amazing on both the finger and toe nails. I just know that this will become a staple shade for me during Spring/Summer. Seeing as these are priced at £13 I am expecting good things from this one as it's in the more high end price range.


I hope you enjoyed reading this blog post my lovelies. Again I am sorry that I haven't been posting many posts recently but I think I may have rediscovered the blogging bug and I have lot's of ideas planned for the upcoming months. I'm really excited for next months blog as my sneak preview tells me that there will be a lip crayon from Lord and Berry which is something I have always wanted to try. Let me know in the comments if you have tried any of these products and what you thought of them.
