August UK Glossybox - Highflyers

So here is my August Glossybox, the theme this month is Highflyers and it includes products from around the world.

If you are subscribed to my blog you may have noticed that I've not done a blog post for the July Glossybox, this is because I've still not received it! I will get my rant over quickly. I've been subscribed to Glossybox for 4 months and the courier that they use Hermes are absolutely rubbish in my area of Wigan! My courier delivered both my May and June box the same day despite having my May box for over a week before I guess she just couldn't be bothered to deliver it. Now with my July one I tracked it religiously (as I'm inpatient) and it said there had been 3 unsuccessful delivery attempts which was BS as my husband was off work that week and he didn't hear the door go and there was no phone calls or cards left. I am furious to say the least as she sent the box back to Glossybox and I have still not received it and Glossybox aren't much help either, so this may be my last Glossybox review.

Anyway enough ranting here is the August box, mine includes:

Sweden - Emite Eyelash Curler RRP £20
Everyone received this in their box this month and it is my favourite item. I am currently using a £1 one from body care which is fair rubbish. A decent eyelash was something on my wishlist so now I can take it off. This one is great quality and I love it, it also comes with spare pads.

USA - Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Noir Sample
Most people don't like receiving perfume samples but I am very grateful of this as my perfume has ran out and also this smells amazing! It really smells delicious and so feminine. I would definitely consider buying the full size of this. That is why I am happy to receive samples as I would never even try brand in store (as the word chavy comes to mind) anyway I really like it.

UK - Jelly Pong Pong 2 in 1 Shadow/Liner Full Size RRP £10.50
I didn't know that this brand was a UK one for some reason I thought it was international anyway let's hope that this is better than the mascara that we received in May as that went down like a lead balloon with bloggers.
Though to say that this was a 2 in 1 shadow or liner is abit far fetched as I can't imagine anyone using this as a shadow pencil but I will reserve judgement until I have tried it. The one that i received is in a dark green colour.

Brazil - Oceane Make Up Remover Pen
This doesn't have a RRP as it isn't currently available in the UK.
This is a full size product that comes with 3 refills. I am hoping that this fairs better than the Simple pen that I reviewed a few months ago that was rubbish. This difference with this though it that the nib is removable which was the Simples main problem as after a couple of uses the bib got dirty and just smudged the make up around which was the opposite of what I wanted it to do. So i hope this one works better.

USA - Tresemme Platinum Strength Hair Treatment Full Size RRP £1.49
I love Tresemme as it is currently the only hair product brand that I am using I will go into more detail for my love for Tresemme in a planned future post. I am happy to receive this product and to try it out as I suffer from split ends. I will let you know how I get on.

So there is my Highflyer August box what do you think? I am very happy with it as I got 4/5 full sized products and the eyelash curlers alone are worth more than I paid for the box which was £12.95.
Let's hope that my July Summer Glossybox arrives before Winter hmm.

L'Oréal Paris Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution initial thoughts

There are so many make up removers out there that I find myself trying a different one every month to try and find one that's amazing that I can stick with.

My favourite has always been the Lancome Bi-Facil but it's too pricey for me to use everyday so I've been on the hunt for a cheaper alternative.

I've tried more or less every high street brand one going to name a few I've used the Nivea gentle eye make up remover but I found this too harsh on my skin. I've tried the standard L'Oréal Paris eye make up remover and I didn't really like that. I have just finished using the Simple eye make up remover and I actually liked this one and I would definitely use it again woohoo. I was just about to repurchase it when this caught my eye - the new L'Oréal Paris Skin Perfection, a 3 in 1 purifying micellar solution and I knew I wanted to try it. I've seen it advertised in a few magazines and I liked the look of it. It wasn't too pricey either just £3 from Asda.

My first thoughts are that I like the packaging and that I hope it lives up to the recent hype.

After using this last night and this morning my initial thoughts on it are good. It feels really good on the skin and it got rid of my eye make up very well. I can't say for certain so soon how good it is but my first uses were promising. This could be the holy grail product that I've been searching for.

It promises to "dissolve all traces of makeup and that the micellar solution acts as a purifying magnet to capture on draw out excess oil and impurities rather than spreading them around your face"

I did feel that it got rid of my makeup better than the simple one and left my skin feeling clean but I will use this for a while longer before I say for certain.

Have any of you tried this and what did you think?

Simple eye make up corrector pen

I bought this from Asda for £5 as I was looking for a product that got rid of any eyeliner/mascara smudges throughout the day. As usually by dinner time if my eyes have been watering due to the high winds out or whatever my make up smudges underneath my eye on top of my concealer. The only way to banish this is to use make up remover so I thought this handy make up remover pen was the answer to my prayers but I was sadly wrong. This is awful it does nothing. The product stays on the nib staining it for the next use and even after cleaning it some transfer may occur. I could live with this if it actually got rid of the make up smudges but it doesn't so I wouldn't waste your money ladies. This one is rubbish unfortunately. I've seen Revlon do something similar but I'm to wary to get another. As for the pesky smudges I still have no solution as I don't want to carry around cotton buds and make up remover. Putting more concealer on top doesn't cover it either. My eyes end up looking dark underneath all day. So I am open to suggestions.
