Lux Box July 2012


I can never wait for my monthly box from Lux Box. I am yet to be disappointed with these boxes! I thought I would share with you guys what I got this month!

Inika Certified Organic Eye Liner- I had an Inika eyeliner from another beauty box and yeah I like it. I got my shade in Peacock Blue, a shade I wouldn't personally buy but I love it! It's such a creamy eyeliner.


Gatineau Essential Skin Corrector- I've not tried this yet but I'm looking forward as it does smell really relaxing. It contains anti-oxidents. This claims to improve radiance. 

Magnifibres Brush on False Eyelashes- This product really jumped out at me, the packaging is so nice and this is a product I would buy, so I'm really glad I get to try it out. I am hoping to do a full review on this product as I have high hopes for it!

BRTC Gold Caviar BB Cream- This BB cream contains spf in it! Pleased about that, I haven't tried it yet but I normally wear a BB cream to work, so guess what I'll be using tomorrow! An the fact it has extracts of caviar in, really interests me!

Yana Cosmetics Foundation- Lux box actually took the time to e-mail their subscribers to ask what shade they required for this sample, now if thats not good customer service what is! I'm really looking forward to trying this foundation as its not tested on animals and claims an airbrushed look.


 Overall I'm so pleased with the box, like every month! I cant wait to try the false lash extensions!

Glossy Box- April- Earth day edition!

This is my review of this months Glossybox! It was in relation to Earth Day. So all the products are organic!




5 products this month, with 3 full size products in here! This is my first GB, I was a loyal subscriber to Carmine so as you all know they are no longer around, so thought I would try these guys! On with the products!


CAUDALIE- Vinosource SOS Thirst-Quenching Serum
This is a 10ml sample size but no way is this true, squeezing the bottle and only once I'm nearing the bottom do I see any product coming out. Used this last night, my mum loved it! However I'm not really sold, partly due to the lack of product. But my skin does feel soft this morning! So this is kind of a hit and miss for me I'm afraid.



KAI- Perfume Oil
Gutted. Half full. An what a rubbish size sample! It's not even worth it. I don't like the smell its far too strong and floral for my personal taste. With other beauty boxes I have experienced this would of been classed as an added bonus product! This one is a thumbs down for me.


FIGS AND ROUGE- Lip Balm in Rambling Rose
This is good, beautiful packaging! An lip balm is always usable. Not too keen on the smell/taste I have it in though as others seem to have much nicer ones! But I can always use this so thats great! Perfect size to take with me on my Holidays! It says you can use it on your face also/skin in general but I don't think I'll be doing that! OH! It's full size by the way! Full Size £3.29 (What an odd price!)




AYUURI- In Sandalwood
Happy to see this, great size product, full size YAY. Smell is quite nice looks like it could be really moisturising. I can't wait to try this out. You can never go wrong with body wash. Full Size £4.95.




INIKA- Black eyeliner
Glad to see this, lovely make up product I will always use eyeliner. Can't go wrong! Happy to see I got black as it is a useful colour. This is also full size £11.75. I'll show the swatches now.




Thin line- one stroke.
Fatter line- building it up.


Overall I'm happy with my box but not thrilled, I've had better, but I love the theme and the box itself. For me what let it down was the perfume sample. When seeing what other people got, this seems a little tight. But there we go! Win some you loose some. I don't think I will be getting another Glossy box. I'm awaiting the new mysteries LUXBOX. An considering going back to She Said Beauty. However I'm debating whether these boxes are worth the money. But hey, its fun right?!
