Miss Glossybox is the younger sibling of the HBFL favourite, Glossybox. A bi-monthly subscription beauty box aimed at teenagers. The box costs £7.00 (+£2.95 P&P) and everyone receives the same items. Absolutely loving this box! The seven (SEVEN!) treats inside are all things I will use which is a rarity amongst beauty boxes. There are four full size products, two samples and an accessory so well worth the money! NYC In a NY colour minute – Times Square NYC…

Brains gave me that look … the one he gives when yet another makeup based/girl product arrives, and I grinned, ran into the kitchen, giggled to myself and opened it. And what a delight did this month’s Birchbox have in-store for me … From Left to Right:…

This is something I told myself when it came to my skincare regime, in that I wouldn’t really go above and beyond the morning face wipe/wash and moisturise routine. I have naturally dry skin, so a lot of soap based products make my face feel especially awful. I try not to use too much on my face, and as part of my morning regime, rely heavily on good quality…

Unfortunately, it’s now miserable outside and we are almost half way through September! With so many memories from this year already what better way to reflect, than to think of all the scrummy products I got to try out whilst in a tent with significantly less access to things that make me look…

Last night saw Dakesis play our first hometown show since “the big line-up shuffle” (which is the nice way of saying it I think) and wedged between the awesomeness of Captain Horizon and Attica Rage, in honesty, my nerves were running high. We’ve already had two very well received shows in Hull and Derby, but playing the home turf to familiar faces is the real point of judgement. As the intro track started I was facing drummer Adam, and I…

The changing of the season always brings with is a whole bunch of new releases, and for some reason this time a lot of them are things that want to empty my bank account! First up Rockateur from Benefit. Er hello Benefit. Please stop making things that I want as my purse is very empty and I attribute most of that to your shiny pretty things! I’ll admit the rose gold shimmer of Rockateur is not exactly the…

Officially the most well timed Glossybox ever. It arrived right as my boyfriend returned back to Holland for uni and gave me a much needed burst of cheer and excitement. First notable thing (other than the gorgeous union jack box!) is the addition of the GB MAG. Gone is the large fold out explanation of the products, and in it’s place a glossy magazine and small card – just like Birchbox. Eylure Pre-glued Lashes I can’t say I’ve…
Continue Reading ...People come in all different shapes, sizes and colours and we all have different skin. This often differs throughout our life and perhaps through various times in the year. I predominantly have dry skin which is often at it’s worse during the winter when the heating is on. During Summer and if I am outdoors more, my skin feels better. I can only presume that this is down to a) more Vitamin D and b) less sitting next to a…
Continue Reading ...I bought this from my latest Avon demo brochue sucked in by the magnetic wands you can also buy, which give you pretty patterns – unlike the others I had seen in shops where it was just a random magnet for you to make your own. When I first applied it, I left it to dry and then held the magnet over. Well nothing happened and I thought “pah, rubbish.” Due to my own curiosity and a morbid fascination with…
Continue Reading ...So far I’ve done a really good job of resisting the Latest in Beauty little beauty boxes. Unfortunately, when it comes to having shiny things pushed through the letter box, resistance is futile. This is my first and probably not my last, but my main reason for indulging was the Amie face mask. I keep seeing this brand everywhere, and I think it’s only right that I give something that has the same name as me a whirl! Plus it’s…
