Glossybox: March

I'm back from my trip to Budapest now! (it was amazing btw, will upload pics soon) and it wasn't long after I got back that my second Glossybox arrived..good timing!

I've been super excited to take my photo's for this post that I've left everything in the box and waited until natural daylight, cause that's when they look super bright and clean! 


So let's get into it and show you what's inside this months Glossybox


The first product is the Naobay Moisturizing Peeling  facial milk (RRP £13). It's natural and organic which is something I really like in a product! It has peeling particles from the Acai palm tree and gently exfoliates the skin. I'm super excited to try this, it smells really nice! And the lid is made from bamboo which is a really nice touch.


Next is the Essence Lash Princess volume mascara (RRP £3.30). It has a curved wand to help grab every lash to create more volume. The packaging is super cute and I'm always trying new mascaras! 


This Dove Advanced Hair Series shampoo and conditioner is for anti-ageing hair (RRP £5.99 each). It says it's supposed to hydrate and repair brittleness in your hair making it stronger and sleeker. I can't wait to try this, i'm lacking a lot of sleekness in my hair and hopefully this solves it! 


I'm obsessed with nail polish so when I saw this in the box I was so happy! And it's a perfect pink shade which is perfect for me as it's my favourite colour. It's the ncLA nail varnish in the shade 'Like... Totally Valley Girl' (RRP $16). Definitely painting my nails this colour tonight.


Last of all is the Sleek Pout Paint in the shade 'Rosette' (RRP £4.99) it's also available in Superdrug. I'm not a massive lip colour wearer but i'll still give this a go! It looks like a nice colour but a little dark for me I think, although I haven't tried it yet. It's designed to be applied softly for a light stain. So maybe it doesn't come across this dark on the lips! 

I think the majority of the products in this months box are a lot more me, stuff I'd pick up on a shopping day which I really love. I'm so happy with it and I'm already counting down the days for my next one to arrive. If you're subscribed to Glossybox, which was your favourite product? Have you tried any yet?

Thank you for reading!

Zoeva Rose Gold Luxury Brush Set

I've been super excited about this post because I know that when I didn't have these, I would look at people's reviews for a long, long time. After contemplating for a while about buying them, I finally did it. I wasn't sure if I should or not 'cause I'm not that big on makeup and having all the right tools, the only makeup brushes I had were the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush, the Real Techniques Powder Brush and a 'Beauties Factory' brush set that my mum had bought for me. So I wasn't at all short on brushes. I spent a long time lusting after these brushes, they look so luxurious and I couldn't imagine anything prettier to add to my dressing table. 

When they arrived I couldn't contain my excitement, I got them all out and instantly started rubbing them all on my cheeks. We all do that, right? They are amazingly soft and since I've had them a while now I have washed them, they clean so easily. I was afraid the ends weren't going to stay white but they do! I use Johnson's Baby Shampoo to clean my brushes. The set also comes with a beautiful chocolate brown clutch to put your brushes in when you're travelling. It has lovely rose gold hardware on to match the brushes perfectly.

There are 8 brushes in the whole set so it works out at under £8 a brush which is amazing value for money! I have to say, my favourite thing about them is that they are an absolute dream to look at. Who doesn't love Rose Gold? I'm obsessed, I love anything rose gold. 

My favourites from the set are;

102 Silk Finish Brush - this is amazing at buffing in foundation, it looks so effortless and natural when you work it in with soft, circular sweeping motions. It really does leave a silk finish

106 Powder Brush - this isn't as big as the Real Techniques powder brush but that's why I love it, you can really concentrate on the areas you want to powder without being overwhelmed with brush bristles

110 Face Shape Brush - this brush is meant for contouring but I love to use it for under eye concealer, it fits really nicely and evens out the layer of concealer without it looking cakey

127 Luxe Sheer Cheek Brush - this is a perfect blush brush! it's angled slightly to fit the apples of your cheeks which I love

317 Wing Liner Brush - I use this to fill in my brows, it's really thin and defined which makes it so much easier to fill in your brows and doesn't put too much product on either which is perfect to achieve natural, fuller looking brows





I bought my set here only because I would have had to pay an extra £20-£30 on shipping alone, but buying from here you get free shipping on orders over £50, which is perfect because the set costs £56.95! I would definitely recommend these brushes, they are a dream to use and look beautiful in a little pot on your dressing table.

Thanks for reading!

June favourites


This month I got a kitten dress from eBay for £25. You can get it from the shop 'Ark' (ark.co.uk) but it's a lot more expensive on their. It was from Japan but it didn't take as long as the estimated delivery date would be which was really good :)
The black bow on the front is detachable, it's a safety pin so you can take it off if you prefer it like that! The dress is so so comfy and I could live in it. Every day I'm praying that this awful English weather brightens up so I can actually wear it!


I got this adorable kitten dust plug, also from eBay for only £1!! It's so cute and helpful at the same time. I've had problems with my earphone jack due to dust getting in and playing up with the sounds but having these actually work :) So you can help your phone and make it look adorable at the same time ;)


In Leeds there's a bridge with loads of padlocks attached to it so we decided we would add our own. We wrote on it our names, the date we got together and the date we added it to the bridge (that's on the back of the lock) We thought it would be a cute idea to go back to it and it still be there in some time to come :)


I bought this Rimmel London scandal flex mascara for £5 which I thought was cheap considering branded mascaras are usually £8+ and I didn't want to spend over £10 on a mascara.
This one looks so much better when you put a few layers on, it makes your lashes longer and thicker. It also makes them really smooth and not like sometimes when your eyelashes feel really stiff from the mascara :)


A monthly favourite place to eat of mine is definitely 'Barburrito' you should all go when you pass or have the chance. They do nachos, tacos, burritos and burrito bowls! I always get the nachos with cheese and jalapenos, they're so addictive! The best nachos I've ever had and I would go every day if I could, also they cost under £3 too so that's really good because you get quite a lot.


I know Monsters Inc didn't come out this year but I absolutely love it and can't wait to go see Monsters University which does come out this month! I adore anything Disney and this film is just amazing.


I didn't buy these this month but I've been using them most this month :)
The nail fan is from eBay, it was 99p and 79p postage! It's really good quality too. You get 50 nails on it and so far I've done a strawberry, a dreamcatcher, an 8 ball and the flower pattern on the Arizona green tea bottle.
The nail wheels were £1.37 and free postage! You get 5 of them too so the price is really good and they're also really good quality! What you can see here are the only ones I've painted on the wheels so far.
On the left I'm concentrating on doing the whole wheel full of Disney designs! So far I've done Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc, an Ace of hearts card from Alice In Wonderland, the cloud patterned wallpaper from Toy Story, a Stormtrooper from Star Wars (just for anyone that doesn't know, Disney bought Star Wars), an alien from Toy Story, red and white polka dots to represent Minnie Mouse and a small house silhouette with balloons from Up! 

The nail wheel on the left I've just done random ones I wanted to try! So far I've done a minion from Despicable me, a Pokeball from pokemon (obviously), an attempt at the melting effect, a rainbow, a pink cupcake and just a random pattern with a flower on the side :) 

The dotting pens I also bought from eBay, they were £1.45 and 99p postage. Theyre so easy to use and I've used them on all of the designs in the picture, they all have different size tips depending on what you're wanting to draw :)

It's so fun to do so if you enjoy painting nails and trying out different patterns I really recommend you invest in some of these!
