GLOSSYBOX: January 2012 Valentines Edition.

So when everyone heard that this months glossybox was the valentines day edition there was alot of questions asked, like:

'I havent received my january box, OR,

Do we still receive the febuary box.

The answers to these were all explained by glossybox, This is the january box but it was dispatched later than usual because of it being a limited edition box and was for valentines day.

The february box however, will still be despatched mid month : ) YAY.

When i found out that this months box was a fuschia pink box that made me more excited i think to receive that, that is because i re-use the boxes for holding products or to use as gift wrapping.

On to the products!

So as normal every month we receive 5 products to try out and review.

 

Pretty pink packaging!!

    Eyeko Skinny Eyeliner Pencil in Midnight Blue.
    I was so happy to recieve an Eyeko product in my glossybox, the brand is one of my favourite eyeliners.
    I received mine in a navy blue colour, which i loved because i love blue eyeliner. I would of preferred the green one, but you have to be happy with what you receive right? : P
    The reason i love this eyeliner is because the design of it, it has an extended handle which is better for precision. Everyone hates it when your eyeliner gets used right down, Eyeko has come out with a design like this.

    Clarins Extra Firming Day Cream + Night Cream.
    When i read my card to see what products i received this is the brand that stood out for me.
    I have never used Clarins before but they sell it in my local BOOTS.
    With high end products i would always like to try the samples before i spend alot of money on them! This product has made me want the bigger versions because they feel so good on my skin!

    FAB Body Moisteriser
    When i read the card, i recognised this brand. They sell it in my BOOTS store but i have never tryed it. Also i noticed that on my card it said Body Wash, But i received the moiusteriser. I wasn't complaining because i would much prefer a moiusteriser over a body wash.
    I like this product because it sinks into your skin and it doesnt leave you with that greasy feeling. Which is always a plus!

    MURAD Skin Perfecting Primer Dewey Finish
    When i saw another murad product i was very excited and ready to try this out. To be honest though i wasnt impressed! This has been the first product that i havent liked. When i swatched it i realised that it was a skin tone primer, but it was way too dark for my skin tone. When i applied it my skin it gave my face that muddy look. And i really didnt like it. Sorry murad lol. If you made a clear version im sure i would appreciate it more.

    And that is everything!
    All in all i was very happy with the items that i received this month a couple of them me being very picky. But then we cant like everything can we.

    Take Care : )

I won a GLOSSYBOX.

So, this months glossybox is still to come so you will have to wait for that one (sorry), but for now, i want to share with you a contest i won through twitter, to receive a free glossybox.

I am guessing this box is from Augusts month (as it says august 2011 on it vicky, duh) :)

So as you can see here, this is what i received in the box. This was very generous, because being a sample service you would expect small sizes, but most of these aren't. so its great!

Hey lovelies!
Im so excited to be starting up my new blog, hopefully i can get this up and running on a regular basis, obviously when i have the time and work doesnt take over of course lol.
So yesssss, few things about me i guess.
Well my names Vicky, but people call me Vix : )
Im 22 yrs old and i live in the U.K, booooring. But in the future i aim to leave the u.k and travel around the world. Obviously still blogging and making videos.
I love make-up and beauty in general. I love creating new looks with makeup, i see my face and others as a canvas, theres just so much choice and you get to play around with different shades, to find the perfect one for yourself and even others. Thats what inspired me to start doing this.
I can see there are alot of beauty gurus online already, and these girls and guys have helped me to acheive looks which i have wanted to recreate.

I will be updating this blog, i would say every other day. Maybe with hauls, reviews and just general nonsence i guess : ) thats what you like right??

Just remember to stay beautiful, all of you are ;)
