The Glamour Party Beauty Edit | Beauty Box Review

I'm pretty sure most beauty lovers will have heard of beauty boxes and have received or been intrigued by what they have to offer. I definitely fit into that category so about a week or two ago I made an order on a website called Latest In Beauty, where I ordered the Glamour Party Beauty Edit box. At the time this box was on offer for about £13 which I was completely drawn to as the box featured a lot of brands I had yet to try at such good value.

This was the first beauty box I've tried so I was so excited when it came through my door. Upon opening I was greeted by a lovely designed printed box, where I then opened to find the prettiest simplistic tissue paper to surprise me with the contents.

Inside contained:

L'Oreal Paris Elnett Satin (75ml- perfect handbag size)

Wild about Beauty eye shadow in Fern

Lola nail varnish in Bluebell

Xen-Tan Luminous Gold Gel in Medium (30ml sample size)

Collection Lengthening Mascara

Philip Kingsley Moisture Balancing shampoo&conditioner(x2 20ml sample size)

Stila Smudge Stick waterproof eye liner in Black Amethyst

Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in Rhubarb

Vichy Purete Thermal 3 in 1 cleanser (30ml sample size)

Vichy Idealia Life Serum (3ml sample size)

Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels (1 use sachet)

2x London Popband (1 black&gold houndstooth and 1 plain black)

and finally Glamour Magazine subscription(discounted by 62%)

As you can see you get a lot for your money, with trial sizes perfect for experimenting with before purchasing the full-sized product and also some full-size drugstore and high-end brands. You'll definitely get your moneys worth with this box as just the Wild about Beauty eye shadow or Stila Smudge Stick are £13 each alone. Although i'm not going to review every product here individually, you will see the products I've liked and enjoyed using featured on my blog in upcoming weeks. So keep an eye out for my thoughts or ask below if you're desperate for someone elses opinion on a product before buying. 

I'm completely happy with the box as I was not disappointed by any of the shades/products I received so I will definitely think about ordering another and maybe trying some other beauty boxes.

The Glamour Party Beauty Edit box is still available here, priced at £16.99 which is a complete bargain as the products inside are worth over a total of £88.

Have you tried a beauty box and have got any recommendations? I'd love to know!

Until next time,

CHRISTMAS OUTFIT IDEAS | CHRISTMAS 2014

Hello!

Today I've felt really inspired to create different looks for Christmas, so that is what I've done after browsing a range of affordable high street and online shops. Here I've found and created outfits that you could accessorise to your desire to make the perfect Christmas Day or party outfit.

First up is a few dresses if you're feeling pulling off something more dressy and glam. If you're planning on making a statement then sequined dresses are the way to go! I love how glamorous sequined dresses look but I myself would never have the confidence to rock one, here's a couple that I love from boohoo.com in fact and oh so affordable both at £20.

HOLLIE SEQUIN SHORT SLEEVE BODYCON DRESS

IMOGEN OFF THE SHOULDER SEXY SEQUIN BODYCON MINI DRESS

If you're looking for something a little less out there then this next dress is perfect, again from boohoo.com! It could be the LBD staple in your wardrobe but I love it just as much in the berry colour, perfect for Christmas and only £15!

SARA PLUNGE NECK SKATER DRESS

The second look I've gone for is something i'd feel more comfortable in, casual but still lovely for Christmas! I'm loving the whole pelmet skirt and turtleneck trend, which can be worn together or on there own(of course with something else, just other than the skirt I mean!) I've found two skirts from Topshop that I love, one a classic leopard print and the other slightly edgy, a quilted leather look. I've teamed both with a turtleneck, the first in burgundy from boohoo.com and the other hard to find in bottle green from ASOS.

LEOPARD PRINT PELMET SKIRT -£38
JACKIE LONG SLEEVE TURTLENECK TOP -£8
ASOS JUMPER IN RIB WITH TURTLE NECK -£15
TALL LEATHER LOOK SKIRT -£38

As I've said you can simply pair a turtleneck with pretty much anything, here are a few pairs of jeans(all Topshop) that I love which would look great.

MOTO BLACK JONI JEANS -£36
MOTO BLACK RIPPED JONI JEANS -£38
MOTO BLUE BLACK BINX JEANS -£40

Last up is for ultimate comfort and the novelty(I'd be rocking something similar on Boxing Day). Christmas Jumpers and Onesies are the one for relaxing. Here's some of my favourites!

First is the cutest Christmas Pudding Onesie from Missguided at £19.99, how fun!

Next is this Rudolph Onesie from Debenhams at £32. 50- I mean how festive!?

I love this Christmas Jumper from River Island and it's on sale for £12! A bargain last minute pick up or to store for next year!

And that's it for my Christmas outfit ideas! I know this is last minute but I felt like putting this post together, even so you could create something similar of what you already have in your wardrobe to make an amazing outfit for Christmas!
This is not the last from me before Christmas, tomorrow I have a Christmas Eve routine coming but if you're not around then Merry Christmas! I hope you have a lovely day however you spend it!

Much Love,
