June Glossybox

I was really looking forward to getting this box as I know it will be waiting for me when I got back from my business trip :) When I got home, even though it was late as night and I was absolutely shattered from my flight and train journey back, I couldn't wait to open it!



Glossybox
Serie Exclusiv Pro Beauty Brush 
I was excited to see a make up brush being included with this month's box but this is a bit disappointing. It's really easy to apply products, also it feels soft on my face, it feels quite clumsy to use (if that makes sense!) It's a good size for the small pot of bronzer included in the box though.
HD Brows
HD Brows Precision Tweezers
I was excited to see this in the box as I need a new pair of tweezers! These are perfect to get the littlest hairs on your brows, absolutely love them! It's retailing at £19.95 which is a bit pricey for a pair of tweezers I would pay so I'm glad this is in my box :)
BM Beauty
Summer Warmth Bronzer
I wasn't too sure on this as I'm not a fan of powder products but when I tried it, it looked really nice! It felt really light on my face and it blends really well. I have also read on the Glossybox blog that it can be used on body and also on your nails :) 
Caudalie 
Eaux Fraiches (Zeste De Vigne)
This fragrance isn't for me! I was looking forward to spraying a refreshing scent to me but I found it quite strong and zesty. I love the packaging though as it's a good size for traveling, just wish I like the smell!
Vichy
Dermablend Ultra-Corrective Foundation Cream Stick
Last but not the least, it's my favourite! I absolutely love this! As I haven't got very clear skin, this is perfect for me. You get 6 samples in different shades in this starter pack so you can pick the best colour that matches you before you buy the full product (retail at £19.00). The coverage is exactly what it says on the package, which covers minor to severe skin flaws, and it does last all day. I'm thinking of buying this in the full size but I've heard that the foundation of this is very good too so I might got for that instead :).

Overall, this is another good box. It's a shame that I didn't like the scent of the Caudalie spray as this would probably be my favourite box. 
What do you all think of yours?

May Glossybox - 1st Birthday!

Wow I haven't blogged for a while!
Now I know this is verrryy late, but I don't want to miss blogging one of the boxes I received! I've been super busy lately so I do apologise for the lateness!

So it was Glossybox's first birthday, this was what I received in my box:





Noble Isle 
Summer Rising Bath and Shower Gel
This shower gel is absolutely gorgeous!! I love the smell of this, definitely a luxury shower gel! This is quite pricey for the full size bottle (£20) so I'm not sure if I'll be willing to pay that.
Lolita Lempicka
L'Eau en Blanc and Si Lolita
Personally I not a huge fan of these perfume, they are too strong and flowery for my liking but if you like that kinda thing then there's are made for you!
Weleda
Face Cream/ Body Milk
When I first got this out the box, I tried to read what it said then realised it was all in German! I tried this a few times but didn't really think much to this. It was nice on the skin but the smell made me not like it as much. To me it smelt a bit medicine-y, not sure if this is just me or not!
Unique
All in One Hair Treatment 
This product claims to have 10 main benefits that the hair needs: repair for dry & damaged hair, shine & frizz control, heat protection, silkiness & smoothness, hair color protection/with UVA & UVB filters, easier brushing & ironing, incredible detangling, long-lasting hairstyle, split ends prevention and adds body. I think this is a brilliant product and I do agree with some of the claims that they made! Full size bottle of this is £13.99 which isn't bad at all, I would definitely buy this.
Let's Go Lashes
I was so pleased to see a pair of lashes in my box! I love a pair of good lashes as mine as so short, even with mascara on. I haven't tried this yet but I'm looking forward to trying it!

Overall, this is another great box, what did you think of your boxes?

Business trip to China

Sorry I've not been as active on my blogs, I've been mega busy!
Recent events includes: finishing off making bridesmaid dresses for my friends wedding, the wedding itself (which was the most amazing day ever and she looked absolutely beautiful, shed a few tears) and straight after I had to jet off to Shanghai for a business trip!!
I've finally got some spare time to catch up on my sleep, go on Facebook and youtube (as they are banned in China!) and just relax before going back to work after the Jubilee bank holidays!

Just thought I'll share with you some snaps I took while I was away :)



This was the sign in the bath, made me laugh! haha!


One of the hotel's that I stayed in, absolutely loved it! 


One of the many bowls of noodles I had while I was there!

Hope everyone's having a good Jubilee bank holiday! :)
