Glossybox - April

I received my April Glossybox in May so I've tried to test out the products before submitting my review. I was fairly impressed with the selection apart from the fact I was sent 2 moisturizers which I thought was a tad bit silly. I received a nail polish, gel eye liner and rose hip skin care oil. In addition to this I received a 15% off integrity cosmetics voucher and $25 voucher for the Iconic

I am currently wearing the Blush amour Sunset in paradise nail polish I received. This normally costs $4.95 and can be bought from their website.

In the picture the colour looks like a coral red - almost tangerine as well. At the time they did look more orange than red. Now, when I look at my nails, it looks like strawberry red. I'm thinking it changes colour depending on the light. I have never heard of this brand before, but I find that the nail polish glides on smoothly and evenly. It also dries fast which is always a bonus. I think it's a cute colour and works well with my skin tone.

The two moisturizers I received was an Orange and Bergamot sensitive skin cream from Redwin and a Protecting moisturizer from Integrity.

Redwin is endorsed by our very own Jennifer Hawkins. I thought it might have a strong fruity scent but the scent is ever so gentle. Redwin create products especially for sensitive skin and use organic products. Integrity did not have the most pleasant smell. It's probably because of the ingredient mixture of kelp extract, flaxseed oil, aloe vera, chamomile and green tea. The ingredients themselves are good for your body. Together, it just doesn't smell that great to me. I will continue to use these products but for now will say that they are like any other moisturizers to me. If I notice any significant changes in my skin, I'll share it but in general I find that they all do the same job and it just comes down to preference.

What I am really excited about to use is the Rosehip Organic Skincare 7 precious oils. It is meant to revitalize the skin and eradicate scars, spots, burns etc to give the skin it's natural feel and glow.

I am going to implement this into my daily beauty routine and see if I can reduce the spots/scars on my cheeks and chin. Will definitely keep you posted on how it goes.

And, last but not least Mirenesse Tight Liner which is a Hydra gel eye liner. It comes in a pen and feels like you are using liquid liner but sets as a gel eye liner. It is also smudgeproof which is very handy. I received the shade Saphire Blue (yes they spelled Sapphire wrong).

It was easy to apply and I am totally a sucker for packaging. I like blue eyeliners but I know they aren't for everyone. I like that it doesn't smudge. Wore this all day and it didn't smudge - even when I went to rub my eyes because I was tired. Works like magic! I think I have found my new brand of eyeliner :D

So, there you have it - Glossybox April.

Hello Kitty Shine and Kiss - Pink Floyd

So, I bought this lipstick because it was a bright hot pink and would look good with some bold make-up. I also bought it because it was Hello Kitty brand. Upon wearing it I found it to be very moisturizing on the lips and did not crack when wearing it.

It holds it's color and texture and every time you butt your lips, it maintains it's moisturizing feel.

Here is a pic I took in the bathroom. The lighting is warm and it didn't show the full brightness of the lipstick I found.

I used Instagram to blur everything out but my lips - this is because I have bad skin at the moment. You can see in this pic that the colour isn't as bold as it appears. It almost looks like a sweet light pink lipstick but it is far from it. I, then proceeded to my bedroom that had brighter lighting.

Can you see the difference? This brighter lighting is the true colour of this lipstick. It has a slight purple tinge to the hot pink colouring. I am going to wear this lipstick to a birthday party this weekend and keep the eyes simple because the lipstick is the main display. I feel that if I overdo the eyes, then it will make my whole face look over the top and we wouldn't want that now do we?

I bought this from Priceline for $12.95. I haven't seen this in any other retail stores at this stage. I am having difficulty finding this sold worldwide. I know that MAC came out with their Hello Kitty range which may be discontinued as Sephora have the collection now. You can still buy Hello Kitty MAC products on EBay as far as I can tell. There is no confirmation online that MAC is still producing the make-up.

I can't wait to show you my outfit this weekend and display my make-up for you. I do really love this lipstick and it's great to wear with candy colored outfits also :D Good for an 80s outfit also ;)

Will keep you updated...

Finding Formula 10.0.6

Wandering around in shops is good. You find new products that you wouldn't notice if you rush. I like going shopping by myself because I take my time, walk like a turtle and have a good browse of shops I wouldn't normally.

The other day I stumbled upon a new find: Formula 10.0.6.

I'm like the worst person when it comes to a beauty routine and cleansing my face properly. My purchase was the Best Face Forward Daily Foaming Cleanser which I have used daily since I bought it.  I also purchased Down to the Pore Strips but will review it once used :) I have combination skin and the annoying this is when my face gets oily under my make-up. I really enjoy using this product because it is refreshing and actually smells like passionfruit and green tea when it foams on your face. I have already noticed the change in the reduction of the blackheads on my face. It's amazing! My main issue is my blackheads so I am glad to be working towards getting rid of them. I'm hoping to get a toner and moisturiser from the same brand because I'm in love with the product. Right now, I am using a light Nivea toner and Oil of Olay - will review once I buy more products :D

For Australian customers, you can only purchase this from Priceline and Big W by going in store according to the website. I bought mine for $9.99 from Priceline. The online websites that I could find that sold it cheaper for $7.50 was OKme and Cincotta Chemist. US and Canadian customers can purchase this from online direct from the website here and buy it for $5.99- you will need to register behind going through check out. Other countries listed that this product is sold can be found here.

This product is part of the Bonne Bell Company and have confirmed that they do not test on animals and use plant based products on this post here. I'm glad that I found this product because I never noticed it because there has never been any major advertising for it - from what I can see.

I like sharing products people may not have had the opportunity to try, so I hope you like it.

So more promotion of local friends and their businesses :D

Specializing in Asian Fashion, 7 senses brings you the latest trends in casual wear. They do ship internationally and accept Visa, Mastercard and Paypal. Everything is displayed in US dollars.

My favourite picks are as follows:

Maggie's Floral Knit Dress - Pink for $14

I like the dainty cute pattern. Personally, I would wear this as a long top as I do not have the legs to pull off this dress.

Elizabeth Retro Evening Dress - Blue for $24

I like this dress because it's simple and girly. It's a deep blue colour which suits most skin tones and you can wear it day or night.

Ariel Contrast Collared Blouse - Green for $15

This top comes in various colours and reminds me of the 50s/60s. It must be her hair as well :) I could see it with a nice floral skirt - all dolled up.

Katie's Vintage Garden Blouse - Black for $12

This is probably my favourite top :D It reminds me of the 1800s where women wore those large hooped skirts. I just love anything delicate and vintage at the moment. Very cute!

Front Folded Collar Blazer - Orange for $39

Really love this colour. This blazer definitely pops and brightens up a plain outfit. I like it because it's versatile in that you can wear it for a special occasion or to add a bit of flare to a casual outfit.

Green Leaves Messenger Bag for $57

I like this bold green colour. It's great because it matches with any bright colours like blue, yellow and red. I like this bag because you don't have to necessarily have to match it to your outfit because it stands on it's own.

Sugar Snap Tote Bag - Red for $25

This bag is great for every day. I like large bags where I can fit all my girl junk in plus it comes in an array of colours. Grab a bag to match all your clothes!
