October Glossybox

I'm really impressed with this months Glossybox, I feel that the majority of the products included are well known and really good quality. 
Im not sure how I feel about the 3 Dermalogica products, I'm really interested to try them however 3 samples of 1 brand isn't really that much variety. I think the fact that they are 'Age smart' products is also adding to my 'omg im 25 next month' quater life crisis im going through at the moment lol!
The think the pink and red perfume samples smell lovely, im not sure about the yellow, it isnt really my taste but im sure other people may like it :)


My Favourite product is definately the Stila eyeliner, It is Such a pretty colour irl and it is the most smudgeproof liner that I have ever seen! This is the one product so far that I would repurchase when it runs out. 

I love reading other Glossybox or other boxes reviews so if you have done one please let me know below! I love seeing what everyone's got and thinks about them!

Bobbi Brown Corrector

I've always had really dark circles and no matter how many litres of water I drink and hours of beauty sleep I get, my dark circles just wont disappear!

Ive heard a lot about the Bobbi Brown correctors so I went to test it out at a Bobbi brown counter. The girls there were really lovely, they told me that I needed to keep the area hydrated and recommended their hydrating eye cream as well as the corrector. 

The eye cream is good, but at £28 (the girls said £26 so im not sure whether it differs in John Lewis to online) I feel it was just too pricey, I got a sample pot but I just dont think I can justify spending that much on an eye cream.
However I bought the corrector...

 

The corrector comes in 'Peach' and 'Bisque' colours. Bisque is Pink based and Peach is peach based. There are a quite a few shades avaliable, I'm an NW25 in MAC concealer and my colour for the corrector is Bisque. 

The purpose of this corrector is to erase the dark circles by neutralising the bluey green purpley tones with pink or peach. In the past I have piled on heavy concealer to do the job that just a small amount of the corrector does.

This product has been a savior for me, the heavy concealer I used to use made the skin under my eyes feel heavy, dry and started to give me visible lines (Eeek!) This product can be used on its own but it is recommended to use a small amount of concealer cover the top. It states to be infused with conditioning agents, it will neutralise discolouration and is easy to blend and isnt meant to crease (it does a tiny bit on me). 

I absolutely love this product and couldnt recommend it enough!

Bobbi Brown Corrector - £17

This is my take on the classic red lip/ hollywood glam look. I think it looks perfect for a christmas party to be paired with a LBD and something like Orly Rage on the nails!

H&M bits & pieces

I was really impressed with the quality and price of the H&M eyeshadows - the quad is only £3.99 and you get quite a bit of product in each colour. The Pale pink is a perfect hilighter colour for below the brow bone and inner corner of the eye and the brown, black-blue and purple colours are soo pretty and pigmented!

I also picked up this scarf for £7.99 which i absolutely love. 

It looks quite light in the photo but irl it's a bit darker, its so soft and Harry Potterish!

September Glossybox

I was sooo excited to receive my first glossybox this month, it's like getting a lil present delivered!! 

I had a cheeky look at the september products on other blogs before receiving my glossybox and now comparing them with mine, I think there were some better boxes with more full sized products out there but I'm still so happy to get the HD Brow kit and I really like the look of the little hair oil!

Has anyone else received theres yet?

Primark Autumn Haul

I thought I would show you what I picked up in Primark last week, theres some lovely autumny pieces in there at the moment. The cardigan was a bargin at £6 and they have some other lovely autumny colours - the one I got is called 'wine red' but there was a lovely deep turqoise one, a rusty red-brown one, camel beige ones and purples too.

The slipper socks (£2) are sooo soft and cosy, they also have great grip on my cold kitchen floor when im cooking cosy wintery dinners! 

Every time I've been into Primark recently I've picked up this stag ring and then put it back as I was so unsure about the stags faces - I feel they look quite angry :S lol. This time I spent agges picking a nice face and was soo delighted when I found one I didnt realise I had picked up a large :( I usually get medium primark rings and the large is waay to big :( I think im going to have to wear a smaller ring over the top to stop him falling off. 

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend xx
