Oh so natural Glossybox



I agree with most people who are saying that it feels like ages since the last Glossybox? Well it finally arrived only a few days before it's May! Hopefully the next box will come quicker than this one. Anyway, since I first signed up for Glossybox, my first box has BY FAR always been the best box I've received, I am quite happy with this box and it has been better than some of the others I've received but I wasn't fully happy. Simply because some of the products I would just never use, for example I'm not into using styling gel or lip liner. Apart from this I'm happy with this months box. I think everytime I hope for next months box to get better and am always slightly disappointed but I still keep hoping for a box like my first one! :-)

Caudalie Vinosource SOS Thirst-Quenching Serum
Inika Cosmetics Certified Lip Liner 
Monu Professional Skincare Hand & Nail Cream
Fig & Rouge Lipbalm - Cherry and Vanilla

What did you guys think of this months box?!

Topshop nail varnish - Eclipse


I also told you bloggers that I would finally get my hands on a Topshop nail varnish and I finally did! I picked this one up in the Norwich store, it's called Eclipse and I instantly fell in love. In my other Topshop nail varnish post I picked this one out from the internet and loved it but when I saw it in store I fell in love a little bit more. I paid £6 for this varnish which I think from a fashion retailer is pretty expensive but that wasn't going to stop me from trying it! I applied a base coat and then two coats of the Eclipse varnish and then finished with a top coat. This varnish shines so many different greens, blues, golds, yellows and black, it's amazing! I tried to capture the different tones in the pictures but it's such a hard thing to do but I promise you it's worth getting and looks so beautiful when applied onto the nail! I can also confirm that I will be purchasing another Topshop nail varnish purely because I love this one so much. It really does apply to your nail so well and easily as well which is something I love in a nail varnish. I really want to try a glittery/sparkly one next time to see what they're like :-)
Have you tried Topshop nail varnish? What are your opinions on the product?

Bourjois magic nail polish remover


One of the things I told you bloggers I would purchase yesterday was this amazing product. I found it in Boots with the Bourjois make up. It was £4.99 which is quite pricey for a nail varnish remover but I was so excited to try this product I had to buy it and try it. I actually had nail varnish on when I got home and it was slightly chipped so I thought what a perfect time to try it out. So the bottle says 1 second... it might be an amazing product but I can confirm that it takes longer than 1 second to remove. You literally put your finger in the sponge hole (the second picture) and twist it around. You can see from the second picture what the sponge looked like after I had used it to remove my nail varnish. It really is such a quick and easy way to remove your nail varnish and there's no annoyance with any cotton wool, bonus! I really would reccommend this product to anyone!! A couple of queries I have it; how long is it going to last for?! Because paying £4.99 is fine really depending on how long the product actually works for. How long do you think if you know? Also I'm wondering how well it will remove sparkly/glittery nail varnish as I always have trouble removing these!
Have you tried this product? What do you think of it?

Heated eyelash curler


Last week when my old eye lash curler died on me I felt as id I'd lost my right arm! As soon as it broke I was straight onto eBay to buy a new one. The one I purchased isn't branded but you can find it here . Including postage it only came to something like £1.98, bargain right?! I mean who wouldn't try something for that price. I leave it heating for a couple of minutes and then it's ready to use, you don't want to let it get too hot because it really does burn trust me! So the first picture is me as soon as I'd got out of bed pretty much so I apologise, the second is after I'd used the eyelash curler and the third once I'd applied mascara.

I really do love this product so much, I literally can't survive without eyelash curlers!! It really does work really well, I know when you see the product you wouldn't believe it because I also know that it looks really cheap and tacky! It's cheap but definitely not tacky and works a treat. The only slight downside would be how quickly it eats up batteries, it requires 2 x AAA batteries and they don't seem to last that long. Well they didn't last that long on my old one and then it might have been on it's way out so I'll let you know how this ones batteries get on! Do you use eyelash curlers? If so, which ones do you use?

Topshop nail must haves




Right I know I've said this before but this time it really is a must have this month! (And there's not much longer left in this month!) Topshop nail varnish... You would not believe how many blog posts and reviews I have seen about topshop nail varnish and every single one of them has something positive to say about them. So I'm asking myself, a girl who's obsessed with nail varnish, why I don't own one (or a few) as yet... And to that question I do not have an answer. That's why, on Thursday, I will make this happen!! Thursday I'm going on a little shopping trip with my sister, mainly for my nieces birthday present which I am yet to purchase but I think I'll quickly side track us into Topshop just for one of these! I love all of the colours I've posted the pictures of, especially the pink glitter and the two tone colour, so I'm hoping they have these in stock when I head down.

Another product I WILL be purchasing on Thursday is Bourjois 1 second nail polish remover. I've seen this product on Glossybox's blog and the found it on Boot's website. You literally dip your finger in the lotion and within 1 second, without cotton wool, your nail varnish is removed... apparently. If this really works this product would really be my life saver! You know those glittery nail varnishes which literally tear the cotton wool apart? Well I'm hoping this product will help with those dilemmas. So after my shopping trip on Thursday I will do a little haul post which WILL include at least 1 topshop nail varnish and this Bourjois nail polish remover! Blogger promise xoxo
