GOLD by Giles - Lip gloss

So last week saw the launch of the second GOLD by Giles make up range exclusively for Newlook & this one looked impressive. 

I decided to give the lip glosses a go as there was some lovely shades and they only cost £1.99

I picked up the shades 'Ruby red', 'Berry' and 'Bellini'.

I really like that its a blush applicator as it makes putting it on a breeze!!!

I love the colours and think that they actually seem to give a good colour pay off considering they cost £1.99!!! They also aren't at all sticky :)

All in all a great product for the price i would say!

Latest in beauty

The 'Latest in beauty box' is a little box of samples (literally samples - no full size beauty box esq samples here) which you pay just £1.50 for, the state the £1.50 is just to cover the P+P so really its FREE!!!

You can only get one box a month, and you only get one if you want one - its not a subscribtion like the beauty boxes. The beauty of it all is that you actually get 9 choices of which you pick 3, so really you are making your own box with things you want to try :)

What i picked:

1// Elemental herbology - 3 step trial 

Which includes the cool and clear facial cleanser, soothing oil free facial hydrator and the facial glow radiance peel mask.

2// SUPER by Dr Nicholas Perricone - Bright eyed

3// Dr organic - rose otto skin lotion 

I think this is a great way to get to try new products before committing to them,

reviews of each to follow.

Peachy Keen

Soap and glory "A great kisser" lip balm - in Juicy peach

Available @ boots for £5

I picked this up just to have a little look... with no intention of buying it as it is essentially Vaseline but for £5.00 instead of £1.99!!! THEN i smelt it - ahhhhhhhhmazing.

It gives a lovely slight coraly sheen to the lips, smells awesome (think peach schnapps) and makes the lips extra soft and moisturised. 

I love it

Jazzy nails

Models own - Upotia £5

Models own - HeadKandi Ibiza Mix (NEW) £5

I love both of these polishes seperately... but together i ADORE them!!!

Upotia is a really really light creamy lilac which looks lovely on its own.

Ibiza Mix is the brand new glitter polish just launched as part of the head kandi range. Its a clear polish with bits of gold, green, blue, bronze and purple glitter discs in. I think this would look fab over most colours.

I love them... This is with 2 coats of the Ibiza mix glitter - i think one coat would look nice aswell though and more subtle.

Customers at work keep commented on them and loads have said there next stop was boots to buy Ibiza mix!!! :)

Glossybox April 2012 : The Natural one

Another themed box from Glossybox this month - i think they have took a step in the right direction making them themed :) Makes it more exciting.

The box itself is 100% Biodegradable and states to be 'bursting with ethical goodies'.

What i received:

1// Caudalie - SOS thirst quenching serum (Full size £29.00 - 9ml sample in the box £8.70ish)

'extremely natural and plant based, ensuring your skin never lacks moisture'

I was happy to recieve this as i have been wanting to try something from this brand for ages!!! Cant wait to give it ago, but if like the other Caudalie products i have heard about it promises great things.

2// Inika cosmetics - Organic eyeliner in Graphite (Full size sample £11.75)

This is actually a really nice shade and is nice and creamy meaning it wont feel like your scratching your eyes out to apply :)

3// Ayuuri - Natural body wash in Coconut (Full size sample 200ml £4.95)

Enriched with wild indian jasmine (to calm the mind and body and balances all skin types), Coconut (moisturising and protective) and Aloe vera (soothing, cooling and calming). 

Its a good size, and its something you can never have enough of &&& its smells lovely, im really loving coconut scents at the moment.

4// Figs & Rouge lip balm - in rambling rose (Full size sample 8ml £3.29)

Its actually a multi use balm and can be used on the lips, face and body. It smells nice and is really mouisturing. It is 100% organic and also petroleum free.

5//  Kai - perfume oil (Full size £41.00, Tiny sample received so unable to work out price)

'Intoxicating blend of gardenia wrapped in white exotics'.

This was the disappointment of the box for me... Don't get me wrong i like trying new perfumes etc and really don't mind receiving them in beauty boxes if A. they are a decent size or B. they are classed as a extra rather than an actual sample product.

This is tiny - the smallest perfume sample i have ever received. And sadly i don't really like the scent, i mean i don't hate it but its not my normal cup of tea. I do like the fact its a oil as it lasts longer, and i do like the packaging and graphics.

All in all im happy with the box this month. The value works out at about £28.69 (excluding the Kai perfume oil tiny sample) which i think is great as glossy boxes themselves retail at only £10 (plus p+p).
