A few pictures from today, I also posted some photos of my glossy box (this is now my third one) I'm really happy with what I've got so far and I think it's a great investment. Last months wasn't great, but it certainly didn't deserve the abuse it got from some bloggers! I saw some abuse going down which was just not acceptable, being a blogger doesn't mean you have the right to completely insult a company (bearing in mind Glossybox was only on their second box at the time) via social media!
Anyway, that aside I was really excited to try my Xen Tan sample as I've heard great things about this product. I applied it the other night, I found it slightly tricky as it doesn't have a guide colour and as its labeled "dark" on the packaging I didn't want to end up orange so I only applied a thin layer but I do look slightly bronzed. Although I just noticed today I completely missed one knee. My bad.
I would have preferred the yellow Ciate polish, and I'm not a fan of the lipgloss shade but overall, some lovely products for only £10 a month! An amazing investment if you ask me.
I'm off work today which is amazing, I usually have so much stuff lined up but I did everything on Friday. It feels weird to just be sitting around but I love it! I've got so many blog posts done. I bought Cosmopolitan magazine today mainly for the free Missguided nail splash (pictured) in Misschevious which is a lovely deep red/pink. I was already wearing another shade of theirs which I was sent a while ago (for post, see here) called Misstaken which is a bright orange so I just put the pink over the top and it's come out quite nicely!
If you haven't already tried these, I suggest you do! One of my favourite nail polish brands at the moment.
Today is going to be spent lying on my bed catching up on 4OD and eating Thai Sweet Chilli sensations with Philadelphia (amazing btw). I'm also looking up flights and hotels for a little trip to New York I'm planning with the boyf in January (my birthday is in December but we'll probably delay our trip) Any suggestions on hotels/where to go?
Lovely pictures, I just got a mac and I am in love with it; I was lucky to get Lion for free and I love it even more now! I'm still not interested in the GlossyBox idea, I worry that they only did a good box this month because last month got some bad press - I agree a few blogs took it too far especially those accusing them of being 'on drugs'! I feel like they need to stop giving full size samples, that's what is raising expectations but they are meant to be all about sample sizes...doesn't make sense to me!
ReplyDeleteWould you believe, after all this time on the blogosphere, I still haven't really bothered to go to the Glossybox website? I'm off to it now, thanks to your post! I'm just too curious to resist.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!

I do agree with what the first person said, I think the box might only be so great this month because of all the negativity it got last month. But I agree with you, some people think that because they are a blogger they can absolutely slate companies down to the ground and its ridiculous! At the end of the day people have different opinions and views on things, one persons rubbish is anothers gold and all that, thats the whole point of blogging because its all so varied!

This was my first Glossybox and I was chuffed to bits with it; I think they are rather building up people's hopes a bit though with all the full size products - I wonder if they'll be able to keep it up long term? I got the orange Ciate nail polish, it's a really nice shade. I'm planning a trip to New York (probably next year) too - look forward to seeing where you decide to stay (and visit!)

I totally agree with you about the Glossybox thing! I think last month's wasn't their best, but the anger I saw about it was really intense, in my opinion! I still think it's a great investment and I loved mine this month! I actually got the yellow polish which I was wary about at first but I really, really love it. It's so thick and colourful!
ReplyDeleteI love the ring you're wearing and am desperate for those brogues! I used to live in brogues but have worn all mine to death and am finding it so difficult to find nice-looking, comfortable ones as a replacement :)

I'm subscribed to Glossybox aswell, I think I would of preferred your box though because I would use the lipgloss,eyelashes and tan more than the products I got in mine.
ReplyDeleteI got the box with the lime green nail varnish, the powder, orla kiely perfume etc. Have you used the nail varnish yet? It stained my nails which is annoying!
I really want an Apple laptop too so I'm jealous that you have uploaded a picture of that!
