Hello you beauties!

So it's time again for another subscription box review! As you know I usually love this Look Incredible box (apart from a slightly disappointing box last month) so let's see what I think about it this month.

Price of box is £18.99 per month. And £2.50 P&P

There are 5 products in this month's box

This box is worth £75.98

The brands included in this box are: Stila, The Body Shop, Ciate, NARS and Bareminerals

The first item I noticed in this box (because it was a big one!) is the Body Shop White Musk Soft Body Polish (£15). I am really excited about this product as I love the Body Shop products and I love skin care products. It smells great and I can't wait to use it!

The next item I noticed (and originally got very excited about) is the NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil (£15). However, I got the shade 'Tender Night' which is a lilac-y shade. A lilac shade for your lips!? I'm all about wearing purple shades, but dark shades, not lilac! However, when I tested it, it is extremely light which means it's perfect if you just want to add a little bit of shimmer to your natural lip colour.

 I then noticed a Stila product in the box, and I love the brand so I was really excited to see it. However, the overall product is not the best. It is the Stila Colour Balm Lipstick (£16) and while I love lipsticks, I own so many that I really do not need anymore. Also, it is not the easiest thing to use as it is quite large so hard to control where the product actually goes. Also, I'm not a massive fan of the shade. I got the shade 'Avery' which is a reasonably light pink shade, which I do not think is right for the autumn/winter months at all - it would've made sense if we had got this product in the June/July/August box instead. On the lips, luckily, it isn't too bright and I am sure I can use this quite a bit in the spring/summer months next year, and I might be able to use it a little bit over Christmas. It also smells like peppermint, which I love!

Next I pulled out the Ciate Feathered Manicure Set (£9.99). I own so many Ciate nail polishes and nail sets now that I won't need anymore nail polishes for months! I do love nail art but the amount of nail art sets we've been given from Look Incredible and Ciate over the past few months is starting to annoy me. I will try this out soon however, and I will let you know my opinion of it.

The final item in the box is something that they actually put in the May box. It is the Bareminerals Ready Blush (£19.99). In May, I received one in the shade 'The Whisper'. I do love this product but I am annoyed that it is a repeat product. This time, I received the shade 'The Indecent Proposal' which is a similar nude shade to the first one I owned, but with a bit of shimmer to it. I feel like this will be perfect as the festive period approaches. Although I am disappointed that it is a repeat product, I am overall very pleased with this product.

While this box has not been the most exciting box I have received to date, I am overall quite pleased with all the products in this box and I am sure I will be able to incorporate them all into makeup looks one day in the future.

I will be back on Wednesday with another post for you!

Hello you beauties!

I really can't believe how quickly this year is going. It feels like only yesterday I started this blog, and I've actually been posting on this blog for just over 4 months now! Time really is flying!

Since it is the 1st September, it is only appropriate to tell you all about what I was loving last month!

1. Lip balms
I don't know about you, but I usually get really really dry lips. I hate when this happens, as sometimes it effects my lipstick and then I get really frustrating and usually feel like screaming. So I've really been loving lip balms this month. I have such a massive collection of lip balms now which have pretty much kept me calm recently. I especially love scented lip balms, especially sweet scents.

2. Benefit Porefessional Face Primer
I'm not sure if I've mentioned this product before, but I really have been loving this primer so much. I'm pretty new when it comes to primers, and before I just had a primer/moisturiser by Nivea, but the formula of this Benefit one feels like a better base than a moisturising primer does (the moisturising ones can make your face feel greasy).

3. Soap and Glory Archery Brow Tint and Pencil in the shade 'Love is Blonde'
I always struggle to find decent brow products that don't make my brows look crazy. While I'm a natural blonde, my eyebrows are slightly darker than you'd expect, so sometimes blonde eyebrow products are no use at all, but light brown products are still much too dark. However, this product is just right! The colour isn't too harsh for my brows, but is easily blendable so I can have my brows as light or as dark as I want without my brows looking stupid.

4. Scented hand creams
As I have probably mentioned before, I get very dry skin on my hands, so hand creams are products that I am ALWAYS carrying around with me. I especially love scented ones, and I recently bought a pink grapefruit scented one from The Body Shop (see my previous post). Not only do they really smooth my skin, they also smell great and makes the chore of applying them multiple times a day much more pleasurable.

5. Historical films and TV shows
Everyone who knows me knows that I am a massive history geek. I often wish that I lived in the past rather than now, so I enjoy spending time watching period dramas. My favourites recently have included 'The Tudors', 'The Young Victoria' and 'The Duchess'. Not only are they great to watch, but can also be very educational as they teach you what life was like in different periods of history.

6. Hell's Kitchen
I have actually become obsessed with this TV show this past month. Watching this show was the highlight of every week for me - my Wednesday nights were not complete without watching this. It is packed with dramas, laughs and sad moments, keeps you on the edge of your seat and helps you to root for your favourite. This is one show that everyone should watch.

So those were my favourites for August. While it has been a long and fun-filled month, I haven't really tried many news things, or done many different things than I usually would do. Hopefully next month I would be able to talk to you about many more things, but until then I hope you enjoyed reading my favourites for August.

I'll be back on Saturday with another post for you all!

Hello you beauties!

I am back again with another beauty box review for you all! This one is my favourite - the Look Incredible beauty box. I love the fact that we receive 5 full sized items a month, for only £18.99. 

I must admit, I had a problem with this box this month, hence why it is the last post of the month. The first box that was sent out to me still hadn't arrived almost 2 weeks after it was sent out, so I emailed Look Incredible and they sent me a new box straight out. This arrived within a week, and I was so happy to finally receive it. Everything was in perfect condition, and I would just like to thank the Look Incredible team for such brilliant customer service. 

Now, let's get onto the box!

Price of box is £18.99 per month. And £2.50 P&P

There are 5 products in this month's box

This box is worth £76.50

The brands included in this box are: Ciate, No7, Velvet 59, Stila and The Body Shop

Ciate Manicure Set (RRP. £16)

This is the first item that I saw in the box, mainly because it was the item on top. Ciate is a brand that I have heard a lot about but not really used before, until I received a mini in the shade 'Pepperminty' in this month's 'My Little Box'. I loved that nail varnish that I own now, so I was really happy to see this product in the box. The shade of nail varnish we receive ('Cream Soda') is a lovely grey colour that I would see myself using a lot. The foils are beautiful colours, with a range of golds, silvers and greens, etc. Each foil is named; 'Flash', 'Fizz', 'Feisty', 'Fling', 'Flirt' and 'Frost'. I am really looking forward to trying these out, as it's something new to try. 

The Body Shop Moroccan Rhassoul Body Clay (RRP. £16)

I absolutely love this brand. The Body Shop is somewhere I go on every shopping trip. I own four of their body mists which I use every day, along with many other products of theirs. So of course I was extremely excited to see this brand featured in this month's box. I like the fact that this is supposed to firm your skin, as I certainly have a lot of areas that need firming! The scent of this clay isn't as bad as some people have said, but it certainly does get messy, so I'd advise not to apply any where it would be difficult to remove (e.g. fabrics). I can't see any effects yet, but I've only used it once, so I'll bring you a proper review when I can see better results.

No7 Exceptional Definition Mascara (RRP. £11.50)

This box couldn't have arrived at a more perfect time. I had just run out of my favourite Maybelline mascara, and was about to buy some more, but now I don't have to. I tried this mascara out as soon as I spotted it in the box. It doesn't add massive volume, but sometimes I prefer that as it helps me to create a more natural look. It adds a lot of colour (I received my mascara in the shade 'Black') and even curls the lashes. Mascaras are probably one of my favourite makeup items, and No7 is definitely one of my favourite drugstore brands. I will definitely repurchase this in the future.

Velvet 59 Matte to the Max Liquid Lipstick (RRP. £17)
This is a brand that I have honestly never heard of before. I like the idea of the product being vegan, although it's not something that I'd go out and look for in particular. However, I am wary about trying this brand's products again. This, however, is only because I find this lipstick so hard to work with. It is so... 'runny' and I find that I have to blend it with my finger too to make it reasonably wearable. Also, the colour really doesn't suit me. I received the shade 'Pink Cadillac', which I think is the shade that everyone received. It is a very bright, light pink, which is a colour I never wear, and I don't see myself using this in the future. I might've done if it was a more wearable colour for me though.

Stila All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminizer (RRP. £16)
I think I was most excited about this product this month. Stila is a brand that I have always wanted to try, and finally I got my chance! I received the shade 'Kitten Shimmer', which I think is, again, the shade that everyone received. I hardly ever use highlighters, but this highlighter is so pretty that I feel like I'll be using this every single day. It is extremely easy to use and blend, and helps create a perfect, natural look. I will definitely consider buying this again.

Overall, I am extremely happy with this box. It's hard to decide if I prefer this box over last month's, as both were amazing. This is definitely my favourite beauty box that I receive each month, and it's great value for a grand total of £21.49 a month. I will be continuing with this beauty box for as long as it continues to impress me.

I'll be back on Friday with my June favourites for you all!

Hello you beauties!

Welcome back to my blog! I can't believe that it's almost the end of the month already. It'll be Christmas before we know it.

I'm sure you're all exactly the same as me when we have massive lists of every makeup and skincare item that you want to own but could not afford all in one go. So I decided to share at least the majority of my list with you today (if I shared it all we might be here for a very long time). So enjoy!

The one item that I have probably wanted the most for the whole time I have been into makeup has to be the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara (£19). I have heard many great things about this mascara and have been so desperate to try it out but I never have the money to be able to buy it. I am planning for this to be my next big purchase.

This is something that everyone knows about - the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser (£15.50 for the 100ml starter kit). I am always keen to try new things regarding skincare and have been wanting to try the Liz Earle products for a while now. I know a lot of people use this product and really like it, so hopefully I will get to try it one day in the future.

The next product is the Lights Camera Lashes mascara by Tarte (£17). Yes, it is another mascara. I have seen this in some beauty box reviews (I think it was a Look Incredible one) and again I have heard so many amazing things about this one too. The packaging is super cute and my favourite colour so this will definitely become part of my makeup collection one day!

I would really like the try the LUSH lip scrubs (£5.50 for 25g), especially the 'Bubblegum' one. I get very dry lips and I am always looking for something brilliant to use to prevent this from happening. I have heard that these products are great, they actually work and you can actually eat them too! I will definitely go out and purchase one of these soon.

Next is an eyeshadow palette! Finally, it's not another mascara! This palette that I want is the 'Eyes are the Window' eyeshadow palette in 'Soul' by Stila (£30). Now, this seems like a lot of money, especially when my loved Makeup Revolution 'Flawless' palette (which contains 32 shades compared to Stila's 12) is only £8. But this palette is just beautiful! I love the range of shades in this palette, I would definitely use all of the shades in it, whereas there are some shades in my current palette that I probably wouldn't touch. I think this eyeshadow is definitely worth the price and I am so desperate to own it!

I have always wanted to try the Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash (£4.79). Again, I am keen to try a new skincare and I know this is quite popular among a lot of people. I also love love love the scent of pink grapefruit so I feel like I would love this product and I will probably try and buy this very soon.

A MAC lipstick (£15.50) would be the next item on my list. I don't know what shade I will get (just as long as it suits me then I don't think I mind what shade, although the shades 'Velvet Teddy' and 'Syrup' looks amazing). I feel like everyone who loves makeup will own a MAC lipstick at one point in their life. I already own a patentpolish lip pencil but I would love to own a lipstick from this brand too.

Finally, another product I want to try is a body sorbet from The Body Shop (c. £8) - I especially have my eye on the pink grapefruit one and the pinita colada one. I had never heard of a body sorbet until I saw them as I walked into the closest shop to me a few months ago. A body moisturiser!? I use body lotions - so I'm wondering if a body moisturiser would be any different. I am getting anxious to try one but I'm trying to use up all the body lotions that I own before I spend £8 on one of these.

So that is just part of my wishlist for you! I hope you enjoyed reading this. Why don't you share your wishlist with me?

I'll be back on Wednesday with another blog post for you all.
