Christmas Glossy Box

Hello lovelies :)

A week or so late but here's my Christmas Glossy box!...


Nouveau Lashes


Deborah Lippman nail varnish in Razzle Dazzle

Deborah Lippman Finger mitt

First Aid Beauty facial cleanser


Cargo lip gloss

Rituals shower Gel


 
Here's the skinny...

Nouveau Lashes Noir mascara - Quick drying flake-free formula and dramatic volume from just one application. Excellent staying power.
I agree that this mascara is fast drying and flake-free. I don't feel as though it is volumising. I found it to be more lengthening than anything. The packaging is great, very sleek and something that wont be destroyed being thrown into your make up bag. (£14.99 for full size)



Deborah Lipmann mini nail varnish in Razzle Dazzle - Party glitter nail colour with a sachet of the most amazing polish remover finger nail mitt.

A little disappointed with this nail varnish. It was... Ok. For a full size you will be set back £16 which isn't cheap but I'd happily pay that for a nail varnish I really like. I wont be buying this one. I have heard great things about Deborah Lipmann varnishes and have been let down. It took 3 coats to resemble the colour in the pot. Sad times. (Have not yet tried the mitt)


FAB Face Cleanser - A mild, nourishing cleanser that's ideal for all types. Calms redness and reduces skin reactivity with regular use.

I have not yet tried this product but it looks promising. I have very dry skin at the moment due to the winter time so I'm trying to keep my routine as close to usual as possible. I will let you guys know what I think when I use it. (£13.00 for full size)


Cargo Cosmetics classic lip gloss - Cargo's new lip gloss formulation! Perfect shades, great wear and high-shine without being sticky.

I don't like lip gloss. I find it far to sticky so I much prefer lipstick that being said I did test this product out. It had very little stickiness to is and I really liked the shade I was sent (Las Vegas) For someone who isn't a fan of this product I feel like this brand would be the way for someone to go.(£10.00 for full size)

Rituals foaming shower gel - This unique foaming shower gel gently cleanses your skin and leaves it silky soft and smooth.

I really like this shower gel, the smell is so gorgeous! It hasn't particularly made my skin feel any different to shower gels I have use over the years but the smell alone makes me want to use is everyday! Am considering placing an order online to buy some more! (£6.50 for full size 200ml)


All in all I thought this box was pretty great. It provided a range of all types of products. Out of the 5 items featured, I would spend my own money on repurchasing the Rituals shower gel.The others were great for me to test out, but I wont miss them when they die :)

Thank you for reading :)
