October Glossy Box Review

Ive been subscribed to glossybox for 2 months now, (for those that dont know what glossybox is visit the website it explains it all on there) and i do love the idea and its really exciting waiting to see what arrives every month, however, i'm not too sure whether it is worth it yet... hmmm i will ponder that one... anyway here is what i got in mine this month...

I got three Dermalogica Age Smart products (Multivitamin Power Recover Mask 15ml, Multivitamin Thermafoliant 15ml, Renewal Lip Complex 1ml) & a Dermalogica wash/ travel bag.

Leighton Denny high performance nail colour in Sex Kitten. (full size)

Stila smudge stick water proof eyeliner in Moray. (full size)

And finally three samples of Robert Piguet's new perfumes (Visa, Fracas and Calypso)

Firstly, I love the Dermalogica products, the exfoliant and masque both make your skin feel supersoft! And the lipbalm feels really lovely on your lips and lasts a long time, great for my chapped lips! 

I have always liked dermalogica products, having worked with them when i studied beauty therapy, because they give amazing results, however, i am unlikely to repurchase this range as they are a little pricey full size (Exfoliant £40.50 Masque £33 Lipbalm £22.50) ... plus im only 21 do i really need 'Age Smart' products?!... but if you have the money to spend i would definately recommend these!

Next, the Leighton Denny nail varnish,

Sex Kitten is a lovely pearly baby blue colour, but i am not really a blue kinda girl so i probably wont get much use out of this colour unfortunately.

I did, however, try it out as soon as i recieved it, and i have to say i am dissapointed, as i found the consistancy very thin and so i needed 3 coats to get an opaque finish. Also, it took forever to dry and after 10 minutes i still managed to create 'dents' in the polish, and as a qualified beauty therapist i would like to think i know how to apply nail varnish correctly, so i can only presume it was the product that was at fault. So in my opinion, at £13 a pot, i do not think that it is worth investing in, when there are so many cheap brands about that are way better.

Now on to the Stila smudge stick, I absolutley love this, on first glance i didnt think much of the colour as it looks like a golden moss colour, however it is so pigmented and has a lovely creamy texture which looks really flattering on the eyes! (a nice change from boring black)

Below i have compared it to Urban Decay 24/7 liners in Stash and Mildew.

As you can see UD's Stash is very similar in both colour and consisancy. After i had swatched the eyeliners i waited 5 minutes for them to dry and then rubbed them quite harshly to see how the staying power compared, i found that the Stila liner was pretty much smudgeproof wheras the Urban Decay liners moved a little!

So overall I think that this eyeliner is worth every penny (£13) and i will definaley consider repurchasing.

Finally, the Robert Piguet perfumes,

I am not a huge fan of perfume, in the sense that i dont feel the need to try/ buy all the new fragrances and so i dont really have much of an opinion on these, however i did try them all, and my favourite has to be 'Visa'.

Anyway this post ended up being miles longer than i expected! Sorry if it got a little boring!
