Beauty || October Glossybox - Angel or Devil?


Every month another Glossybox arrives on my doorstep and I'm yet again encouraged to pop onto this little space on the internet to delve deeper into what it contains! That is until I remember how sucky my laptop was and how much of a task it was to actually upload images, write a post and hit publish! Well alas, I'm back with a brand new fully functional laptop raring to go! This months box is probably one of my favourites ever, and that's saying something considering there have been some crackers over the years! 

So, this months box was, obviously, themed around Halloween with two options of box design - Angel or Devil. There must have been a mistake, considering I am always good as gold, as I was treated to the Red Devil box. Jokes aside, I love the styling of this box and the illustration on the lid looks great! This month I was treated to 5 full size products with an extra tasty treat thrown in for good measure.











First up is a gorgeous warm eyeshadow palette from the brand Stylondon. The palette consists of 9 buttery and highly pigmented shades. The colours range from browns and red with the most perfect base colour. The palette has two shimmery shades which would work perfectly with any look created. Next up is a Lord & Berry lipstick crayon in the shade Devil Red. I have used lipstick pencils before from this brand and have always loved the finish. The benefit of it being in a pencil form allows you to line your lips with the top end first then fill in quickly using the sides. I was excited to see a product from Bubble Tea inside this months box as it's a brand I have always wanted to try but just never got around to buying anything from. The product received is a foaming bath powder, whatever that means! I love a bath, so whatever it does is going to be perfect! Then I received an eyeliner from MCO Beauty, which I will be honest is probably the only dud product in the box this month. I don't ever wear eyeliner, so it's never a product I'm excited to try out. With that being said I know my brothers girlfriend will LOVE this, so it will be heading her way! Next is the Que Bella Beauty professional plumping gold peel off mask. I have never heard of this brand before but I am always game for trying a face mask. This one claims to exfoliate and remove dead cells, leaving you with brighter and more toned skin. This mask also includes real gold powder which is obviously the icing on the cake! The final gift in this weeks box was a Whittards Sticky Toffee Pudding White Hot Chocolate - YUM!




So that's everything from this month's Glossybox, I'm sure you would agree this box is by far one of the best yet and I am so excited to see what will be included in the next one! 

That's me signing out for now, 

Until next time 







Lush, Golden Wonder review!


Guess whats back, back again.. ok so I wont burst into song but seriously this is a big deal! I was wandering past my local lush store the other day and my eye was drawn to one particular item in the window. Lush Christmas Goodies are back in store!

Last year I was introduced to these wonders and ever since have been feeling a total hole in my life where they once were. Snow Fairy and Golden wonder where just a few of the christmas products I tried and being the silly person I am I didn't think about stocking up on them..(I will be this year don't you worry!)

I decided to pick up Golden wonder this time as a way of slowly making my way back into christmas (yes the C word again..)
(This happened in my attempt to move the bath bomb)

The appearance of Golden wonder is so beautiful that it makes me a little bit sad that I have to use it up every time. It is a Yellow bath bomb that is in the shape of a present and covered in golden glitter. It is the one lush product I have tried that has the glitter on the outside and I love it! Also when you shake it you can hear that there is something hidden inside, which really adds to the overall christmas effect!


(Sorry that some of the pictures have shadows/not framed nicely, Was very hard to photograph the bath bomb quickly!)






Once being used in the bath this is where all the magic and Christmassy goodness happens. It explodes
into a yellow colour then begins to change into a gluey/green with small golden stars shooting out everywhere. This then continues until the bath bomb has all gone. The bath is then left with a shimmery aftermath which looks gorgeous, but is a pain to clean up after bath time!

 It smells as amazing as it looks with the scent of champagne and orange. It is definitely a must have for christmas and I for one am not going to make the mistake of not buying many of these for next year.


Lush Golden Wonder Bath Bomb- Lush- £3.50 each
I believe this is sold October-December
