These Are A Few Of My Favourite Things - March...

Hello you beautiful lot <3

I'm so happy we have a four day weekend, it's a lovely feeling knowing I don't have to be up at stupidoclock for work tomorrow =] I don't actually have much planned but it'll be nice just relaxing!

I know I'm a couple of days late posting my favorites from March but I wanted to get my 800 follower giveaway up first, if you haven't see that post then click here. 

March was a really boring month for me in terms of beauty products, I hadn't bought many new products and my skin was playing up so I was wary about using too many products. Never the less here is what I was enjoying in the month of March...

Simple Kind To Skin Replenishing Moisturiser:

As I said before I had a major breakout in March and this was the only product I trusted not to make the situation any worse. I often deviate from using this product in favour of other brands but always come back to this when I need a moisturiser that won't let me down or make a breakout worse. 

L'Oréal False Lash Telescopic:

I've already posted a full review of this product which you can read here but this is simply the best mascara I have ever used and I will be repurchasing it very soon! 

OPI Nail Envy:

I bought this from Buyapowa at the beginning of March and have been using it ever since. It's a little too early for me to post a full review just yet but my nails have felt alot stronger since using this and I've been able to grow them for once! I'll be posting a full review in a few weeks when I've given the product time to really work.

MAC Watch Me Simmer Lipstick:

I posted a FOTD with this lipstick that you can see here. Although I don't use this everyday as it's a little bright it's been my lipstick of choice for nights out. When we were having warmer weather (where has it gone, booooo!) it looked lovely. I will certainly be using this alot over the coming months & summer, we just need more sun now!

Real Techniques Stipple Brush:

I've been meaning to post a full review of this brush for ages but I simply haven't got round to it! I love this brush for applying liquid foundation and cream blush. It's really good quality and hasn't shed at all, if you want to try a real techniques brush I certainly recommend starting with this one!

I told you I hadn't been using anything very exciting so if you made it this far I applaud you!

I hope you all have a great Easter weekend and eat your own body weight in chocolate! I'll be posting a recent beauty haul in a couple of days so look out for that =]

Glossybox March 2012 - The Harrods Edition...

Good evening my lovelies, I hope you all had a fab weekend.

I feel like such a bad blogger recently and I know I need to pull my finger out & post more! All I've wanted to do is sleep after work recently but I'm going to schedule a few posts & get into the swing of things this week I promise =]

I've been away visiting the boyfriend this weekend and when I got home earlier my glossybox was waiting for me, perfect ending to a great weekend!

I had already heard it was going to a Harrods box from various blogs but I was still excited when I tore open the cardboard box to find this...

As you can see the box is absolutely beautiful but I expected nothing less from Glossybox. The box itself is white, another colour to add to my collection! The contents is tied with a beautiful Harrods ribbon & sealed with a Harrods sticker, what a lovely touch!

Contents:

As you can see Glossybox really upped their game for this box & every product is a luxury brand. Here is what I received...

Clarins - Extra Firming Body Cream: 'A formula rich in regenerating and firming plant extracts which immediately helps to lift and tone, for firmer and a younger looking body.' I really was happy to see this in the box, I love Clarins as a brand and the 30ml size feels like you're getting a good amount of product. I probably don't need to use this all over my body but I will certainly be giving it a go on the thigh/bum area!

Molton Brown - Heavenly Gingerlily Moisture Bath & Shower: 'Vitamin-rich fruit extracts boost the skin and invigorate the senses.' A MOLTON BROWN PRODUCT, EEEEP! I was so happy when I saw this! It smells absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to try it in my bath later. Again, this is a 50ml size so even though it is sample size I think it's a really good sample size.

YSL - Forever Youth Liberator Serum: 'A powerful serum enriched with 3 glycans to help increase youthful activity in skin cells.' I probably don't need to start using a product like this considering I'm only in my early twenties but I'm going to give a go and see how I get on. I might not need the anti ageing properties in this product but I have read it can also help with skin luminosity and adding radiance, sounds good to me!

Narciso Bodriguez - For Her: 'For her is Narciso Rodriguez's  first fragrance. A tribute to women's grace and power of inspiration.' Errrr, what? Ha. This was probably the product I was least excited about in this box. It smells really nice and I find perfume samples really handy to keep in my bag but it's really just another perfume sample to me. 

Burberry Beauty - Miniature Lip Mist Copper No 202: 'With a balmy lip loving formula, lip mist offers sheer colour with an irresistible gloss shine.' I was over the moon when I found this tucked away in my box, the design of the lipstick is beautiful and I can't wait to show it off to my friends. I thought the colour looked a little brown for me but when swatched & on the lips it's alot more wearble and glossy, almost like a lim balm. 

This has to be my favourite box to date and overall I'm really impressed with the quality of the products in this box. Every time I think of cancelling my subscription Glossybox release a box like this that makes me want to stay! 

Glossybox is available here priced at £10.00 per month + P&P.

What did you think of this months Glossybox?
