Glossybox August 2012

This week has been a full of surprise for me.  I received my August parcel from Glossybox.  I came across this website when I was looking for some make up inspirations and decided to check it out.  By register and subscribe with Glossybox for minimum £10 a month, you will receive 5 miniature beauty products of any brands that have been carefully selected and of the highest quality.  Another best thing --- 'Glossybox' is sent directly to your home every month.  I was so happy when I came home from work, I saw the parcel sitting in the living room and I knew it was from Glossybox.  I quickly opened the box and I can't believe that I received  are all my favourite brands that I have been dying to get my hands on, especially its my birthday month, so thank you Glossybox.  


The August's theme is 'International Superstar' that consists of beauty products from different parts of the world.  In my box I received (from left to right):
  1. Deep Cleansing Oils from DHC that is a water-soluble in which I have read the review about it and have been wanting to get my hands on it, so consider myself lucky to be able to test drive the products before I buy the original size.  
  2. Glossybox lipstick by Kreolin, in a lovely glossy pink.
  3. Alessandro Pro White which optically brightening effect nail polish with anti-yellowing formula for radiant white and gleaming nails. 
  4. Eve's Balm from All for Eve that supports 'The Eve Appeal Charity' in which I am a member of the charity.  This balm is a multi purpose balm that can be used to nourish dry and chapped skin. 
  5. Vera Valenti eyeshadow palette 
  6. Lipcote - A lipstick sealer that believes to create a long lasting, feather fade and water resistant lipstick.

I can't wait to try all the products especially the cleansing oil and lipcote, so keep an eye on the reviews ;)

October Purchased

Can't believe that it's November already, Xmas is just around the corner and 2012 is nearly over.  So far October has been a fun and relaxing month for myself and I just want to share what I have bought and my current must have in my make up bag ^^  I have been wanting to try out Too Faced products and have been hearing the rave about it.  Don't get me wrong, I love my MAC, Coastal Scents and Bobbi Brown eyeshadows.  However, I felt that Too Faced Eye Palette is convenient if I am travelling or just going for a night out without having to bring so many different colours in one bag which is quite annoying sometimes.  So, my plan was only to buy one to try out but I ended up buying the whole range except the romantic look (arrghhh annoyed with myself sometimes).  I bought all palettes from Boots Piccadilly Circus apart from the Natural at Night range as it's sold out everywhere.  You can get them from Beautybay , beauty and hair website where you can get mostly every

One outfit + 3 different style of shoes

Day off and sun shines are something I couldn't asked for more.  I started off my day with a great workout at the gym, before heading out to meet up with a friend.  I decided to wear my new top that I bought from ZARA which is currently on sale.  I have never been a big fan of 'knitwear' because I always feel that knit material can look unflattering on me.  However, I decided to give it another try and to be very honest I am actually loving it.  The cut is flattering and I want to look very casual on my day off, therefore I mixed it with a pair of Jeans, flats and a hat that I received from my friend, Kate Michell.  I also decided to plait my hair because it was too hot and humid. Due to the unpredictable weather in London, I never forget to bring a cardigan just in case if it gets cold all of a sudden.  I love this outfit because I think it is very versatile as you can wear it from day to evening without looking too casual or too formal.  In addition, this outfit is
