July Glossybox - First ever Glossybox!!

This is my first ever glossybox and I wasnt let down. I have heard so much about glossybox and I wanted it for over a year(when it first started). When I successfully got a job, I thought I might as well sign up to Glossybox. Anyway lets get on with what was inside the glossybox.

But first off, I love the packaging. I love the parcel box because its black with their logo in pink (love). The box with the samples in is just beautiful. I love that the box is a light pale pink with their black logo in the middle. I can use these boxes as storage boxes.

When I opened up the box. I saw black tissue paper with a pink ribbon on top. They really do go into detail and care about the presentation which is good. When I opened up the tissue paper, I saw the following samples/products.

The first one that caught my eye was the Elizabeth Arden samples. These are three small skincare samples and they are visible difference skin balancing exfoliant equilibrant, optimizing skin serum and skin balancing lotion with SPF 15. These are all 2ml samples, so there is quite a lot of product all together.

The next one is Collin resultime gel collagene regenerant. I think this is an anti aging product, so I wont really need much use out of this one since I am still quite young and dont need to start on anti aging products just yet. Dont really know what its meant to do, so its quite a blah sort of product.

Monu is the next product and its an extra rich night cream. At first, I thought this was a anti aging products, but as I was looking at the july glossybox videos on youtube, I noticed that some people used it at my age. This product is for anyone who has very dry skin. I did have very dry skin couple of weeks ago since I had a reaction to a skincare product I used. This would of been perfect for that time but I can still use it because sometimes my skin can go quite dry. Cant wait to try this one out.

The next one is by Paul Mitchell and its the awapuhi texturizing sea spray. At first, I did not notice that this was by Paul Mitchell. I thought the brand was awaphui and never heard of that company before. This product is perfect for the summer and perfect to create beach looking hair. Might have to try this product when the weather brightens up in the UK.

The second to last one is by Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics. I have heard of this company but never purchased any products from them, so it was quite interesting receiving a product from the company. This product is a lip frosting and can be used as a blush on the cheeks. The smell is just amazing and smells like sweets and very sweet smell to it which I love. The colour is a bright pink with a shimmer too it. I love the smell and love this product.

The last product is by kryolan and this is a satin powder. This is a micro fine powder which will create a nice shimmer effect for eye make-up. I love this product since I love shimmery and sparkly products and its full size. Its a nice pink/coral colour which is perfect for the summer. Hands down winner for me.

Overall the Julys Glossybox and my first ever Glossybox was quite good and hopefully will carry on with Glossybox. I love the idea of trying new products and trying products from companys I have never heard of. This will make my make-up range a lot broader rather than sticking to the drugstore brands.

Free 7 Day Trial Sample Of YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat

I think you can guess what this post is going to be about from the title, you can get a free 7 day trial sample of the new Yves Saint Laurent or YSL foundation. This foundation is highly recommended by all the beauty bloggers and beauty gurus on youtube. Everyone is commenting on how the foundation is perfect and a long time coming. YSL released their touche eclat highlighting/concealer pen years ago and it was about time they released a foundation just like the concealer pen.

The Le Teint Touche Eclat foundation was released about a month ago, so still pretty new on the beauty market. However it is £28 per bottle, which is very expensive. For that amount of money for a foundation, I would like to at least either read reviews or try it out for myself before purchasing.

Now then, for the best part of this post, is that you can get a free 7 day trial sample from YSL of this foundation. I think you can go to any YSL counter in any shop and claim the sample and I will leave the link below to the website. You will need to print a page out saying you can claim the sample and just hand it into a YSL counter. Lastly you can get your free sample on the 21st July 2012 and it does depend on how quickly the samples go. Thats all you need to do to try out the Le Teint Touche Eclat foundation for 7 days.

L'oreal Lumi Magique Foundation And Primer/BB Sample!

L'oreal recently launched their new foundation Lumi Magique into shops and the feedback i have seen, has shown that this foundation is quite good. However it is quite pricey for a drugstore foundation, so having a sample of the foundation before you buy is a great idea.

As i said, L'oreal are currently still giving out samples of the lumi magique foundation and there is a surprise when you open the sample package. You will also get a sample of their primer/BB cream.This is quite nice of them since i had no clue that i was going to recieve another sample along with it.

If you want a sample of the new Lumi Magique foundation then please follow this link which directs you to the page :)
