October Glossybox - DIY Beauty

This months Glossybox is all about having a cosy night in and treating yourself to a 'home spa experience' since October has been pretty rubbish for weather lately. Also its breast cancer awareness month, so Glossybox is supporting the breast cancer care by donating the money they make from this box.

As usual it comes in the nice pale pink box with their black logo on the front. Inside the box after I opened it up, I found four products instead of five which is a bit annoying.

Anyway the first product I picked up was the Dermalogica 3 step day and night kit. I have heard of Dermalogica and always wanted to try something from their range because their brand is very well known. In this kit, there is a cleanser, toner and moisturiser and it is for problem skin such as blemishes and acne. I have blemishes and I think this will be brilliant in controlling the blemishes and hopefully stop them from appearing on my face. This kit is £12 from cleanstart.dermalogica.com/uk/ ,

The second product I picked up was the Anatomicals Don't Just Clean It Woman, Scrub It. I love the name of this product, find it quite funny and catches the eye. This is a body scrub with a pink grapefruit scent in a long tube and is 75ml. This is quite a big sample which is brilliant because I find having bigger samples means you can try it out properly. I wanted another body scrub since my another one is nearly running out and this sounds right up my street.

The third product I picked up was the Skinetica Anti-Blemish Solutions. This solution helps to clear blemishes and any problems on the skin and should start to see the results in 2-3 days. They also claim its kind to skin with no side effects. To use this product, all you have to do is put some of the solution on a cotton pads and wipe it over the face without rinsing the product off.

The last product is by Yves Rocher France and I have a lipstick in 'Framboise' which is a bright red colour. Im not a big fan of red lipsticks because I dont like having bright lipsticks on and it might make me look washed out with pale skin. Its a full size product with £14.50 which is more than the box is worth.My camera would not focus on the lipstick but its just a normal red lipstick.

Overall this is a very good box for me this month and I would use most of the products apart from the lipstick. I cant wait to try the blemish products since blemishes can be a big problem for me. But very happy with this box.

Nails of the week - 7th October 2012

This might be a new blog post that I might do every week about the nail polish that I am wearing that week. So this weeks nail polish is by Models Own. I recently bought 6 polishes from them when they did their half price sale on everything on their website. I took advantage of that sale and bought 6 polishes. The one I am wearing in the picture below is  Mystic Mauve. Mystic Mauve is part of their champagne collection which was released ages ago. It is a nice Purple/Lilac/Mauve colour and has a nice sheen to it. The polish was very good quality because it only took one coat to make it look like the bottle colour and covered the whole nail perfectly.

I then put a glitter coat over Mystic Mauve which was Boogie Nights. This is another Models Own nail polish and its from their newest collection 'Mirrorball'. The polish has got purple, blue and multi colour glitter particles in different shapes and sizes. I love this nail polish but its quite tricky trying to get the glitter to stay on the nail and to make the glitter even on each nail to not make it look weird.

Overall love this combo Mystic Mauve and Boogie Nights. You can get Models Own on their website and in Boots online and instore.
