Glossy Box - February 2014

I love getting a glossy box sent to me every month, It's like sending yourself a surprise present every month and I just love it, I'm not going to lie sometimes I do get a little bit sad when I get sent something that I know I just won't use, but I always get at least two products that I love and for £10.00 p/m plus p+p I never moan.
I love the little magazine you get I always give it a read because you get some really good tips and there are interviews with the creators of some of the products you get and sometimes I don't always know about the brand so its nice to learn a bit about the products. The interview in this months mag was with Charlotte Knight for her nail polish 'Ciaté' it was a lovely little read!

The first product I noticed was the paint pot from Ciaté London I am also so happy with my box if I get a nail polish in it, so I was super happy when I saw this cute little pink paint pot with a bow on it, I had never heard of Ciaté London before so reading the interview in the magazine was so helpful, I got sent the color 'plastic fantastic' which is a really cute deep pink, I don't know if you can see but a piece of the glass was cracked and broke so when I took the lid off a piece of the glass fell off :( but it is still fine to use. This is full size 13.5ml for £9 and you can buy this from ciate.co.uk

Next I noticed this amazing pink sparkling bottle, Its something I have never used before and I am a little unsure if I ever will but it's a sparkling body shimmer by Nougat London, I got sent 100 ml bottle and full size is 250 ml for £14 you can buy this from nougatlondon.co.uk
I also got this chunky eye crayon from NV I got the shade 'sugarplum' it's a really light sparkling pink and not the normal color I use but I'll give it a go and maybe do a product review. This is full size at 4g and is £5  you can buy this from nvcolour.com
I was not too happy with this product as I never get round to using them, they get left in my shower and I never use samples like this, this is an ultra - moist hair care pack, I got a shampoo, conditioner, and mask, by  Giovanni eco chic cosmetics, Full size is 251 ml for £7.99 and you can buy this at healthbeautynetwork.co.uk 
I also got the Big Eyes Mascara from Maybelline New York, It is in Black Waterproof and and it has a brush for upper lashes and a brush for lower lashes, I have a love hate relationship with mascara some go on really well and some really bad, so I cant wait to try it. This is one size for £8.99 from boots.com 

I also got a Lindor Treat Bar from Lindt but I already ate it lol haa, so I could't take a picture. 
Overall I am really happy with my Glossy Box and can't wait to try all the products. 
Thanks for reading, please leave your comments and I will have some reviews on the way. 

Much Love,

Bee Strong Collection

I don't really like my hair much it is very very thin and fine so having it long is a no go really, I have had it long a couple of times because I love long hair but I always have to pull it down one side because it is just too thin for anything else, so at the minuet I have it in a shoulder length bob, I think I would like to be about 2 to 3 inches longer then that's were I'll be keeping it. It doesn't style very well because of how thin it is, and I know you shouldn't but I have to wash my hair most days other wise it's just really flat and ugly looking, I couldn't live without my dry shampoo to help me along on the days I don't wash it, but I'm still searching for the perfect dry shampoo too, do you have any favourites that I can check out ?? 

So I ran out of shampoo yesterday and I was using the herbal essences Seductively Straight shampoo and conditioner, and to be honest I don't really know why because my hair is super straight anyway and I like a bit more movement in it, but I really liked herbal essences and I haven't used it in a really long while. 
  
I have seen the bee strong collection advertised on TV a lot, so when I came across it in store I knew straight away that this was the new shampoo I was going to try out, and it was on offer ..... winner!!

Bee Strong Strengthening Shampoo
What Herbal Essences Says : Lay down damage with the Bee Strong nourishing shampoo. This formula works to repair the protective outer layer of each strand of hair to leave it strong against combing damage. You know the drill: Lift it, squeeze it, work it in. Do one more rep. Girl, you are looking strong!
Bee Strong Strengthening Conditioner 
What Herbal Essences Says : Get the strength to carry on! This rich and creamy conditioner leaves your hair strong against combing damage for silky-strong locks you will love. Massage in this oh-so-creamy conditioner. Rinse and feel the revival.


Bee Strong Strengthening Intensive Mask 
What Herbal Essences Says : On the moisture mend? Tackle dryness and combing damage and say hello to silky-strong locks. This rich moisturizing mask helps repair signs of combing damage from root to tip. Work it from root to tip while you’re in the shower. Rinse and feel silky. Just once a week will do!

These products also smell amazing, I can't wait to start using them ^_^ The only product I didn't buy was the Leave in cream but I think I might actually go back and pick it up.

So the plan is to use these three products for about 3 to 4 weeks and then I will be doing an updated post on how my hair is doing, I will be taking some before and after snaps of my hair as there might be a visible difference.
