I've written reviews on a few of the products below and my favourites from this box were the lipstick and the cleansing oil.

 

I really loved the Glossybox own brand lipstick. The colour was lovely and the type of shade I usually go for. It was a nude/pink shade and looked great on. Not the best picture of it but you can kind of see the type of colour it is. It was a long lasting lipstick which left a tint on your lips when it eventually started to wear off which was great as it meant I didnt need to re-apply lots of times as my lips still had some colour.

 

The eyeshadow palette was lovely and the colours were ideal for the autumn as they were a selection of nudes/browns/greens. The colours were really nice on as you can see from the swatches but I really had to dig the applicator into the powder and rub really hard to actually get any on the brush.




The imPRESS nails are quite new on the market and I was looking forward to trying them when I seen them in my glossybox. The pattern was a burgandy and gold swirl and the nails were short length and square which is what I usually go for. They were easy to apply, you just peeled off the backs and pressed them firmly onto your nails. I didnt need to cut the nails they fitted perfectly and there are 12 sizes to choose from. I've never used press on pre glued nails so was a bit worried about whether they would stay on well - and they didnt!!!! I didnt manage to get a picture of them actually on my nails but they did look really nice. I wore them for a night out and when I put them on, after about half an hour one popped off and then as the night went on they all came off. For £7.99 I certainly wont be buying them again as I think its a waste of time when they dont last longer than a few hours - I would possibly buy them and just stick some glue on my nails before applying which might keep them on. Overall I wasnt too 'imPRESS'ed with them!



Glossybox: July

I've been subscribed to Glossybox for a while now but since I've not long started my blog I haven't really mentioned any of the products I've reviewed so thought I could start a regular post giving reviews on them.

For those of you who haven't heard of Glossybox it's basically a box full of goodies that you get sent each month to try out! Its £12.95 a month inc postage and contains 5-6 highend beauty product samples for you to try and you can choose the type of products you want receieve or you can just have a lucky dip and choose to receive any. Each month you get different samples and don't find out what you had until you get them in the post.

The packaging is really cute as you can see you don't just receive a padded envelope

of products lol. The boxes always come in handy and I've used mine to store my makeup and nail polishes etc.

So this is what I got in this months box..
