November GlossyBox





I like my November GlossyBox.  I enjoy trying new things so will get use out of this.
The two sample scents, although they smell nice and claim to be unisex, are definatley more masculine than feminine, so my boyfriend was pretty pleased because he got these.
The hand cream smells amazing.
I have already tested my bath salts and although I will use this pack, I wouldn't buy anymore as I missed my bubbles in my bath too much.
I got the spotty nail wraps and I read a really good tip on a beauty blog about using one at a time with a manicure to make them last.  I am going to do this with these.  I've always wanted to try nail wraps so was pleased they were in my box.
There is also a face product which I am looking forward to trying as well, although I am a die hard Clinique face care type of person!

Yay - Too Faced Shadow Primer & Vegetable Stir Fry

Yay today I ordered my Too Faced Shadow Primer.  Can't wait for it to come.  Like I said, I will preview it.

Me and my boy Brandon made vegetable stir fry for his tea.  He is 5 years old and he has been wanting to cook with me for a little while now.  I have a Children's cookery book and out of that he picked the stir fry to do.  I gave him some of the veg to chop up and he did an excellent job.  He made me so proud. 
 It was also the first time that he tried courgettes.  He will definately be doing more cooking.  Afting he finished, he said the experience "was awesome".  Love that kid so much xxxxx

GlossyBox Sign Up

Hi - Look what I signed up too.  Well I'm hoping that this is the one I will get (the October box), as I have signed up quite late for this so might have just missed out and will end up getting a November one.  But how nice to get a beautifully wrapped parcel each month with beauty goodies in.  I will love opening this and playing with the stuff inside.  I'm so excited and can't wait for mine to come.  There are others on the market too I believe such as, Feel Unique, Boudoir Prive, Carmine (I think that's what it is call).  I may just sample them all yet to see which is the most exciting to get each month.  I hope I get the October one, but if I don't oh well.
Do you know that some of these were sent out, free of charge to beauty bloggers, and other bloggers for them to try out.  I would have loved that opportunity - how lucky were they?   :0)

Too Faced Eyeshadow Primer

Hi !

Sometimes my eyeshadow is not staying on my eyes and is also gathering in the creases of my eyes, looking unsightly.  I like wearing eyeshadow so I did a bit of research on the internet to find out what to do and two primers were recommended:- Urban Decay and Too Faced.  I decided I want the Too Faced one as it seemed to highlight the intensity of the colour of the eyeshadow.  I think I will order this tomorrow and then I can do a little review of it.
