Karen Millen September Glossybox

As soon as I saw a spoiler for this months Glossybox, I wanted it, just for the box alone.  For me it is the best designed Glossybox that I have ever had, it is simply stunning.



Aside from the fabulous box, there was a few spoilers as to what we might find inside and ive seen a few posts from other Bloggers who all have the one item I hoped for, but didn't get... that said, this is what I got!



ModelCo More Brows fibre Gel -  I got light medium which I might get away with, we will see. This is a full sized item and it does have an RRP £14.95 for 3.5ml.  The enclosed card states that this innovative brush-on gel gives the appearance of fuller, thicker brows instantly.

L'Oreal Professional Mythic Masque - This masque is designed to intensely nourish and replenish the hair, for an effortlessly glossy-looking result.  This masque is to be applied to towel dried hair and left for 3 minutes before rinising.  A full sized 200ml tub has an RRP £15.50, this tub is 75ml.

Nails Inc Westminster Bridge Matte Top Coat - This matte effect top coat gives you two very different looks for everyone of your nail polishes.  This is a full sized 10ml bottle and has an RRP £12

Vichy Normaderm Night Detox & Hydrating Care 3ml samples are said to help target adult blemishes, leave your complexion radiant and balance excess sebum.  NOw I am a big fan of Vichy and I am looking forward to trying both samples.



The final product within this box are three sachets.  Skinpep Brightening Enzyme and Acid Peel which uses pineapple and papaya extracts to gently exfoliate, soft and bright skin.  A 3.5ml sachet which I have two of has an RRP £3.05.  Then there is the SkinPep Dark Circle Eraser and boy am I in need of this right now, I look like a walking zombie!  said to use anti-oxident ingredients to boost collagen in the delicate undereye area.  What shocked me is this 2ml sachet has an RRP £6.49 - wow!  I cannot wait to try it.

Also in the box was a gift card to save £25 on any spend of £150 in store during September.  If anyone is and wants my card, please let me know.

Now I like the box this month, I will use every product within the box, which is not something I often say.  That said, I had hoped to get the Origins Plantscription Serum as I have been wanting to try it since I read about it.

What do you think to this box? Anything that grabs your attention?

Look Fantastic Beauty Box

I am a huge fan of the site LookFantastic, there are so many amazing products that I drool over all the time and flirt with buying.  When an email arrived in my inbox to let me know there was a new beauty box to be had, I ordered it before I had finished reading the email - at a cost of £15.

The box, to look at is black in colour with blue and silver writing stating this is from LookFantastic, I was really eager to open my box and see what contents I had and I was definitely not disappointed!







All of that for just £15, no wonder it sold out so quickly! 

So inside the box we have Kerastase Bain Satin 1 shampoo and conditioner in these very cute and very handy 80ml bottles.  This product is said to present an innovative nourishing formula to protect your hair against the relentless return of hair dryness.




Caudalie Divne Oil for face, Body and hair is next and again in this cute 15ml glass bottle. I am already a massive fan of this and have used it before, but have almost run out, so I am chuffed to have a smaller, travel sized bottle handy.




Jurlique Herbal a Recovery Advanced Serum which is said to help combat fine lines, dullness and dehydration with a clinically proven antioxidant gel serum. Packaged inside the cutest 15ml bottle, this serum smells absolutely divine.




St Tropez Bronzing Mousse which needs to be applied with an applicator mitt for a streak free finish and stain free hands, is said to create a natural looking golden glow which lasts for days.  Admittedly this is the product I like least in the box because I am not the biggest fan of fake tan, but I will more than probably give it a go and see how I get on with it.




The final item for me is one I have been really wanting to try for ages. This Works Sleep spray, which is a deep sleep pillow spray which is said to cocoon you in a soporific mist. Using the soothing scents of Chamomile, Vertivert and true Lavender, the scents work together to calm the mind, acting as a natural sleep sedative to prepare you for sleep.



For just £15, you have to admit, this is one fantastic box, I am absolutely thrilled with it and think it is simply brilliant.  So many high end brands in a box, the sizes are all really decent sizes too, so you can actually get to test and try them before you buy.

I am so impressed with this box that the October one has been pre-ordered because one again, I fear it might just sell out very very quickly!


Did you get this box? Do any of the items stand out at you?
