Birchbox, November 2013...

I am loving Birchbox just now, that's 4 months in a row that there boxes have been FANTASTIC that have included some big brand names!

In this months box I received 7 items, 5 items that are normal for the box, a lifestyle extra and a goodie from birchbox :)!

the first thing was from Matriskin, its a 15ml jar sample of their high Performance Cream. I have yet to try this out but I will maybe do a blog post on it once I have tried it. It doesn't tell you the full size of the product but it retails from £80.50!!

Next I got a Weleda Replenishing Oat Shampoo. I'm guessing that this is also a sample as it is only 18ml and the full size costs £8.95.

There was a Chella Highlighter Pencil in the colour Ivory Lace, its full size i'm guessing and it is £15.95. I really like this pencil, reminds me of my Benefit High Brow pencil :)!

I was very delighted to see yet another Laure Mercier product :)!! This time I got the Long Las Mascara, not full size but its a perfect size for my on the go travel bag and it is a great mascara! the full size retails for £18.50

Then unfortunately there was another perfume sample :( Am I the only one that doesn't like perfume samples?! I got sent the English Laundry, Signature for Her Eau De Parfum, and it retails from £16.

The Lifestyle Extra this month was a selection of Tea's! there was an elderberry & Echinacea flavour, an earl grey flavour and a three cinnamon flavour. Unfortunately I only like normal tasting tea lol, but my mum loves these so she was quite happy to have them :).

And the goodie that birchbox included was a Birchbox pencil sharpener, it came in a pretty little black organza pouch. It is a double sided sharpener too so you can sharper your larger sized pancils as well as your normal sized ones :).

All in all I was very happy with birchbox again this month, I am looking forward to seeing what is in next months box :)

please feel free to leave a comment and let me know if you got anything different in your November Birchbox :) also please follow!!

Miss GlossyBox November/December 2013...

So after 2 months of disappointing Glossyboxes I decided I was going to try out the Miss Glossybox that is available every 2 months for £7 plus p+p so it works out around £10 for every 2 months.

 

I got my box in 2 days ago and this is me just getting round to opening it, and if I'm honest I was pleasantly surprised with what was inside.

In side there was a 50ml can of So...?Sinful body spray. It actually smells quite nice, its a very girlie smell and its an ideal size to put in my handbag for when I'm out and about.

There was a Jelly Pong Pong 2-in-1 shadow/eyeliner pencil in a bronzy shade. will be very nice to add to a neutral smoky eye look.

Next is another perfume sample (Hate Perfume Samples!!!) that my daughter will do doubt have because I don't like the perfume. I got a sample of Lacoste 'Touch of Pink'

Then there was Little Mix nail wraps inspired by Jesy from Little Mix, these are actually pretty cool looking. Jesy says these nail wraps are inspired by art pop, comic book and graffiti and she has done a great job! These would look great for most occasions and I think you would have people commenting on them everywhere you went :)!

 

 

And last but not least there was a full sized bottle of Clear Start from Dermalogica, it is a Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash. My skin tends to be breaking out quite a lot just now so I'm looking forward to trying this.

 

All in all I think I actually prefer this box to the last 2 glossyboxes I have received.

 

leave me a comment and ket me know what you think if this Miss Glossybox :)
