September Glossy and Birch boxes


So first up is the Glossybox. The theme was "british" so I didn't know what brands to expect to the honest. Im so happy with the eylure pre glued lashes. I've used eylure since I was about 16 and they're still my fav "high street" lashes, but I do hate applying the glue so I'm excited to see how the pre glued lashes fare.
The second item is the Toni and Guy shine gloss serum. In the leaflet it says it tames and shines frizzy hair. To be honest I could have done with this during summer, not winter. My hair doesn't tend to go frizzy around this time of year so I don't know how much I'd use this. My mum "suffers" from frizz so I'll probably give it to her.
Next up is the Elizabeth arden perfume "untold" I don't really like getting perfume samples but it does come in a cute little bottle and smells quite nice. I'd just rather more make up.
Third is the HD brows blusher. I've wanted to try this brand for a while and I didn't realise they did blushers, I used it today for work and it stayed put, looks gorgous on (I was lucky to get one that suits my skin tone) and a little went a long way. As I say, I'm lucky I got a dark red because in winter I always swap my coral blusher for a darker one. But for a blusher that retails at £18 I wouldn't expect anything less.
The last item is a glossybox own brand eyeliner. I'm not happy with this, even on the card which states the retail price it was written in dollars, not even British. I did wear it for work though, it stayed on brilliantly but I found the pen hard to use and get even on both eyes, and I never have a problem with eyeliner. Not as impressed with this.


So from left to right. The first is a Birchbox own nail varnish in "classic red" I haven't tried this yet as I already have painted nails. But to be honest I looked in the magazine and I'm gutted I didnt get the "grunge red" because I'm abit scared of bright red, it never looks right on me.
Next is the Molton Brown body lotion. I'm always happy with a Molton Brown product. My mum swears by their products and I've been brought up using them. I can't ever buy them for full price because I have stupidly sensitive skin, so I'm always happy to recieve new skin care products to try.
Onto the Aromatherapy associates body gel. As I just said, I have sensitive skin so I'm always happy to try new things. I've never heard of this brand but I'll certainly give it a go.
This little pot of clear liquid is the Bioderma sensitive. In the magazine it says its a gentle makeup remover, which is always good for me with my awful skin. It takes off waterproof mascara too (apparently) so I'll try this soon.
Lastly is the Models Co lipstick. I got the colour "Kitty" which is a light-medium pink. I think on my skin it will look quite "nude" so a good everyday colour. I tend to use light pinks everyday and then darker plums for night, so I'll get my use out of this.

Overall I'm quite happy this month. Im thrilled with the eylure lashes and HD brows blusher. I don't think there's anything I recieved that wont get put to use. Even if I do have to give the hair serum to my mum (:
