LATEST IN BEAUTY THE GLAMOUR SUMMER EDIT REVIEW

Latest In Beauty The Glamour Summer Edit £20

Hello lovelies, today I thought I would share with you the beauty box I love! My favourite beauty boxes are the Latest in Beauty Glamour editions! I always seem to get them, they have the best samples and full size options on offer, this box is full of summer goodies and I love them all!

THE GLAMOUR BEAUTY POWER LIST | LIB

Latest In beauty The glamour beauty power list £18.99

Hello lovelies so a couple of weeks ago I bought this beauty box form one of many Latest in Beauty collections, all the beauty bits inside it appealed to me so I thought why not! They also had a free DHC cleanser with the offer and code but I don't think that code is running anymore sadly, but that is one of the main reasons I got this box, it's the best cleanser I have ever used! But back to the box...

Garnier Miracle Sleeping Cream - I have been using this every night for a bout a week now and I have noticed a massive improvement in my skin, it's so much more hydrated, clean, no spots forming and can feel the firmness in my skin too, it defiantly illuminates to I feel such a glow when I look in the mirror in the morning now rather than looking so fatigued like I used to. Well worth the pennies if you're thinking of trying out a new night cream, it's took me ages to find a decent one and I'm pretty impressed with this purse friendly one so far.

Nails Inc Nail Kale Superfood Base Coat - I have only used this once but it gave my nails a shiny glow and they looked pretty fantastic just having this base coat on without any nail polish, the next time I give my nails a break from nail polishes I will definitely just be putting this on them to give them that healthy glow. 

Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick in the shade Gladiolus - I am a huge fan of of these lipsticks my Revlon already and own a couple and was happy to receive a red sort of shade from their collection as I think it will be perfect for the winter months ahead, there's something about pale skin and red lips on a frosty day! 

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer - I haven't used this yet and I actually have another sample of this somewhere so it shows the enthusiasm I have for this product, not a lot. However I will try it out since I have currently gone a lot blonder starting from my balayage journey here so my hair could probably benefit from this! 

Vita Liberate Luxury Tan - This is a mini self tanning night time moisture mask to gradually build a tan, I might use this just for my face to see how I get on as I have recently had a spray tan and the tan always seems to fade quickly of my face so I shall see how this develops and how long also!

Eyeko Midnight Blue Mascara - Not going to lie I was gutted when I received the midnight blue mascara rather than the black one but I see blue a lot lately, so it must be 'in', I'm going to have to test it out to see how it goes against my green eyes!

Rimmel Nail Polish In the shade Glastonberry - I actually already had tis particular nail polish so I gave it to my mum, she loved the shade as I do and I find these nail polishes really long lasting. I think its a lovely summery shade and I tend to go more near the plum sort of shades during the winter months and a few nude ones but my mum will get her wear out of this as she loves bright coloured nails all year around. 

Kiko Velvet Touch Creamy Stick Blush in the shade 04 - I have never actually tried anything from the brand Kiko before and was really happy to receive one of their cream blush sticks as cream blush is one of my favourite forms of blush currently, 04 is a gorgeous pinky shade, id say a barbie pink sort of colour and will look lovely against fair or dark skin in my opinion.

Overall the box is worth £92.87 but I paid £18.99 so a huge saving! If you love a few of these beauty bits in here it's well worth the price and savings, let me know what you think of this particular box or check out their other boxes they have to offer. 

Latest In Beauty

Hello lovelies, sorry I haven't posted in a while had a lot on and my poor puppy had to have cut open surgery. So been very upset and busy but here I have here a package I received today. 
Latest In Beauty - New Mums Pampering Discovery Box £19.95

I couldn't wait to get this box as soon as I ordered it, full of amazing products to test out and even a lot of full sized products.

Here's a close up of whats inside the box,

Balance Me - Extra care Radiance Face oil 

A roll on face oil, to radiate your skin. As all new mums out there or whilst pregnant your skin does get tired and lifeless this aims to plump the life back into you, packed inside softening and conditioning oils. I'm looking forward to try this face oil out as I have been experimenting with face oils lately.

Inika Liquid Mineral Foundation 

Inika claims to have an intensive hydrating forumla in there foundation which is packed with vitamins, antioxidents and minerals guaranteed to make your skin look radiant and flawless. This I would love to see, a foundation that is actually good for your skin. I got it in the shade beige and swatched looks pretty good to my skin tone! If it is a tad too light ill just mix it with a darker foundation. Shall put up a review of this once I've tried it for you.

Triology - Advanced formula Rosehip oil antioxidant +

This is not only good for your skin massaged into the skin after cleansing morning and night but it is also good for rubbing away those pesky stretch marks! I have tried everything so shall see if this helps in anyway. This helps to restore and protect, certified organic and 100% natural which is always a bonus to me. Rosapene inside combines the benefits of antioxidants and essential fatty acids.

Dr. Lipp - Original Nipple Balm for Lips

An 100% natural balm for many of things from nipples to lips, cuticles to feet and general dry skin areas. I have always been curious of this product a balm for nipples to work for your lips? Say what! I was quite lucky actually after birth I didn't have much nipple pain but I did only try and breastfeed for a couple of days I just couldn't do it sadly. But if there are mums out there who have used this on there nipples please let me know how it worked for you. It is also odourless, hypoallergenic and ultra effective loved and used by top make up artists. 

Amie - Spring Clean Cooling Clay Mask

I have used this mask before and loved it! It really did clean my skin out and deeply cleansed it, as I am having a bad time with my skin at the moment I can't wait to dive into a nice hot bath and pop this on. Hopefully it works just as good as before. It's a refreshing face mask that draws out deep-seated dirt and impurities whilst soaking up access oil and helps prevent blemishes so will be good for any skin type I think.  It leaves your skin feeling refreshed, clear, clean and smooth and also keeps pores clear. Dermatoligically tested, pH balanced. It smells so fresh and floral too, beautiful.

Balm Balm - Rose geranium Lip Balm (and more)

Another balm in the box for not only your lips but for other dry areas on your body, maybe your nipples too? Rose geranium balm balm is a wonderfully emolient, natural, organic balm suitable for all skin types. 

Mirenesse - Velvet lip lift moisture shine

A gorgeous creamy lip gloss that is super pigmented, it also plumps your lips a bit the only thing is, it doesn't say what shade it is. But it is a gorgeous baby pink with lilac undertones a lovely lip product to have in your make up bag.

Bellapierre cosmetics mineral make up

This is a gorgeous shimmer 100% mica powder. In the shade 'celebration' a lovely copper colour, suitable for all skin types even most sensitive. Its a vibrant product with lasting power. I'm looking forward to using this on my eye lids as this is my sort of shade. 

Philip Kingsley - Elasticizer 

An intensive, super moisturising pre-shampoo treatment for all hair types. It adds elasticity, manageability, bounce and shine. To use wet your hair then in sections rub this in, cover with a plastic cap for 10-20 minutes before washing then rinse well. I am really looking forward to using this as I have not long bleached my hair so it's not in the best condition so I'm grateful to try out anything that will benefit my hair.

Jo Hansford - Expert colour care Intensive Masque

An intensive masque to enhance and protect dry coloured hair (woop perfect!) that can be used daily or weekly. After shampooing distribute evenly through towel dried hair, concentrating on the ends. Comb through and leave for up to 5 minutes before rinsing out. Again I'm super excited to try this as I need to get my hair back to tip top condition. 

Yardley - Royal English Daisy Hand and Nail Cream

I always thought that Yardley products where for the more mature women with the scent, I'm not a huge fan of there scents at all but this hand cream smells divine. Very fresh and floral - of daisies, it is very nourishing that contains shea butter, cocoa butter, grape seed oil, sweet almond oil, vitamin E and rich in anti-oxidant to help combat the signs of anti ageing. It claims to leave hands soft and smooth whilst conditioning and strengthens nails.

Tea pigs - Lemon & Ginger Tea temple

I have never tried this brand before and I love my hot drinks. It is a biodegradable tea temple which is caffeine free flavoured lemon and ginger. I'm not a huge fan of drinking ginger I only like ginger biscuits haha but I shall give it a try, I might even make it into an iced tea. It has a cute note on the back,

' It may be chilly and grey outside but this natural gingery lemony brew will sweep you away to a British summers day'. They use whole leaf that is situated into a mesh bag which offers room for perfect infusions.

Kenneth Turner - 'Original' Candle 

A candle which is scented with a unique blend of honey suckle, oil from the bark of the sweet poplar, lemon and orange oils, clove and cinnamon. It will soothe and revitalize the soul use when in the bath or to calm you. It's not a scent I particularly enjoy but I shall try it whilst I'm relaxing in the bath see if it does calm me down. I shall let you know if it does.

I really do love my little pamper beauty box and for some wonderful products I think just under £20 it really isn't bad at all. Have any of you tried Latest In Beauty boxes before? I'd love to see some reviews. If you are a yummy mummy out there or will be soon I defiantly would recommend this to you for a lovely wind down and pamper and to pick you and your skin up.

If your interested you can find one just HERE :)

Hope you enjoyed this post, thanks for reading.

#SeventeenONthespot Winner!

Hello lovelies, I was one of the lucky people who got a chance of winning a Seventeen beauty box full of there new collection. I was overwhelmed when I got an email saying I''d won, I don't win anything. Couldn't thank Seventeen enough and for seeing MissBudgetBeautys blog post about the event or I would have been non the wiser. 

Picture pinched from MissBudgetBeautys Blog :)

So obviously I went to the Twitter Party, who wouldn't? I still can't believe I won! It was a great hour on twitter so many great tips and advice from lots of beauty bloggers and everyone really. I learned more in that hour than I did in BBlogger chat. I wish something like this would happen once a month even if a prize wasn't involved, its a great way of getting all us bloggers together too I think. I love it when every one gets together and chips in with advice and there own knowledge and opinions. Anyway I'm guessing you want to see what I won right? There was not one thing in this box I didn't like honestly! I feel so grateful to get everything but it feels like they knew exactly what I wanted! The foundation matched my skin perfectly (they didn't even ask my shade), the brow pencil was a perfect match, just everything I was in ore of.

Firstly what I thought was great was 4 cards filled with tips and tutorials on four different looks. 

Big is beautiful - A look on how to get a bushy brow.

Dare to bare tool - Natural looking complexion.

Work the power pout - Ramp up the volume with a bright lip.

60's Mod - How to get those perfect 60's eyes.

What products were inside then?

Mascara

I got three mascaras, I can't describe what there all like yet as i haven't tried them all apart from the doll'd up one.

Seventeen - Doll'd up 

I'm not usually a massive fan of plastic wands but i love how its curved, if you want long lashes without clumps this is the mascara for you. It gives a great flirty lash without those nasty spider clump effect. The only thing it lacks for me is the thick volume, I don't want clumpy but I want big if you know what i mean thick black lashes. But it is a fantastic day time mascara for me and the nice thin packaging of the product will slip into my daily make up bag i think. Also love the cute little bow on it, I'm a sucker for anything dainty and pretty. 

Seventeen - Va Va Voom

I never usually wear water proof mascara to be honest, but in this heat recently i may have to start trying it out. Also good for holidays, i may even keep this until i go on holiday later on this year. Are water proof mascaras better than normal ones?

Seventeen - Blow Out Blackest Black Volumise Sculpt Tease Mascara

Now this one looks like it's going to be my sort of mascara! Blackest black volumise, yeeeeah.

Shall let you know how I get on with that.

Lipsticks

Then I got three lipsticks, how kind to get so many products let alone a few of the same product.

Camisole - Mirror shine lipstick, i think the mirror shine is for the sheer glossy effect I'm not 100% though so don't quote me haha, it's just how i applied it and how I feel about it. Also due to the amazing packaging of the mini handy mirror, what a great idea when your out on the go! It's a beautiful peachy colour but very very sheer you will understand when you see the swatch on my arm you can barely see it. It's like an almost clear lipstick that just gives your lips a natural shine but it is a pretty colour.

Red Devil - Supreme shine lipstick, I not only love the packaging of this product but it feels like a balm it's so nourishing and I don't usually think I suit red lipsticks but I actually love this one, its quite a subtle red, not too in your face! I'm going to try and be abit more brave with reds this year.

Cheeky secret - Mirror shine lipstick, this was my favorite shade of the three although there abit sheer its just enough colour for an every day natural complexion. The coral like shade is gorgeous. They feel so soft on your lips. Non of the lipsticks are drying, not on my lips anyway and i have quite dry lips. Also comes with the handy mini mirror. So good if your in a non mirror environment  Some people like them some don't, i personally think there a great idea!

Here are some swatches, beware though the mirror shine ones are very sheer so the don't show up the best on my arm.

Nail Polishes

I kindly received two of there new polishes, i love the fact there fast drying as an impatient nail painter! You only need one coat of these baby's too for an opaque look. Obviously if you want it more stronger you can just bob on another coat. But if your in a rush one coat does the job. I can't speak for these coats but the recent purchase of one of these nail polishes I got in my NOTD post it did chip quite soon a couple days wear, I didn't apply a top coat to that though so maybe if i did it would of been longer? Who knows.

Anyway I got these two shades in my big box;

Seventeen Quicker Slicker Colour - Ball gown, a gorgeous silver/champagne shade, a litter flutter of shimmer running through. This would be lovely on a nice event hence the name ball gown I think.

Seventeen Quicker Slicker Colour - Jitterbug, LOVE the name and the colour a lovely orange with a tiny bit of shimmer in also. A summer nail I reckon.

Eyes 

Seventeen Wild Metalics - I absolutely love this shade and product! I have been loving cream eye shadows as well as blushers recently, there so easy to just smudge over your eye when you need a touch up or on the go. Can be used as a nice strong primer underneath ur desired eye shadow look or on its own. I loved this on it's own myself it is very similar to the Maybelline - Eye studio colour tattoo 24 hour cream gel eye shadow in 'And on bronze' only in colour I dont think the seventeen one lasts that long. But non the less i really love this shade! A bronze shimmery goddess.

Seventeen Perk and Paint - A double ended eye liner and eye highlighter. The pink side is the highlighter, incase you didn't guess already it's a gorgeous pale pink that illuminates the eye area I think I would use this on the inner corners and near my water line to bring out my eyes, and obviously the eye liner waterline or across the top of your eyelid but I'm more of a liquid eyeliner kinda girl.

Seventeen Sculpting Brow Pencil - How did Seventeen get my brow colour spot on? Well they did, although I tend to use powder do fill in my brows I am going to try a look with this, 'sculpt' those brows into place.

Seventeen soft smudge pencil - A gorgeous grey eye khol that I am looking forward to trying out for a smokey eye look with blending on the top eye lid and above the water line as I always usually play it safe with my eyes using browns and creams I'm looking forward to trying out a new colour.

Seventeen precision eye liner pen - I tried this out the other day being a newbie to a marker like pen applicator. But I did find it a lot easier to apply over the lid and it would do a perfect cat winged look!

Face

Seventeen On the Spot Foundation -  Previous to winning this amazing beauty box I actually bought this foundation 2 days prior, but silly me brought the wrong shade! It was far too dark for me and went really cakey, so I didn't have high expectations for this one in natural but its perfect! It matches my skin tone amazingly and amazing coverage, it wasn't cakey at all just the right coverage what I like, it also has a pump which i find great because you can get just the right amount out without wasting any product. A fave for me now and even better its supposed to clear your spots up in 4 weeks  you can't get a better foundation than that right?

Seventeen Instant Glow Shimmer Brick - In gold bronze, four shades to give you a gorgeous glow. I loved this once I applied it to my cheeks, as I'm quite fair though i only need the lightest brush but gives you a beautiful bronze complexion this would look even more better on a tanned complexion.

Seventeen Blush Powder - In first flush a gorgeous pink shade with undertones of red, the perfect rosey cheeks. I love a nice pink blush so happy to have this in my make-up collection!

Can not thank Seventeen enough for my beauty box I loved every single product I received so glad I took part in the twitter party now, and my eyes will always be pealed if there is another twitter party out there. You can't beat a freebie especially when it's this good! I would purchase every single one of these products. If you would like me to go in any more detail about any of the products I have mentioned just pop a comment down below and I'll be sure to get back to you sweets. Not only did I win this box though as I said before the advice and tips were great too! I was also fan girling every time Vanessa and MissBudgetBeauty tweeted me back :)

Did you win one of these beauty boxes? Are you impressed as much as I was?
