GlossyBox: 2 Product Reviews

Hi there sweeties. I hope you all enjoyed the weekend. I know it's Monday, but why not grab a cuppa and have a wee read of my post :) Today I have two products from my GlossyBoxes to review for you and here they are.

Elegant Touch Nail Polish Remover Pads ~ £2.03 for 20 Pads

I received these pads in my November 2013 GlossyBox. I was a little sceptical that these pads would work that well as they are acetone free and I always use nail polish removers with acetone because I hate spending ages with pad after pad rubbing away at my nails trying to remove the polish. I was however very happy too see that these worked so well. They are very moisturising and with much less work than other polish removers these removed the polish perfectly. I would say that on average I used about two pads at a time so that's 10 uses which works out to be about 20p each time. Such a bargain and the baby scent they have is addictive.

Yu-Be Moisturising Skin Cream

This product I received in my Back To Basics GlossyBox. It can be used pretty much anywhere on the face and body. I used this only for my face and lips as the 2 samples of this in the GlossyBox were quite small. This glycerin moisturiser has a very herbal almost medicated scent that I actually enjoyed. I used this mostly in the evenings as it was quite relaxing. It had a nice plumping glowy effect on my skin.

So that's today's mini GlossyBox reviews. Which nail polish removers and multi-purpose skincare have you been enjoying lately? Let me know with your reasons in the comments below.

Love to you all

Back To Basics GlossyBox

Hi everyone. Today I am here to give you my first impressions of the January 'Back To Basics' GlossyBox. 

Yu-Be Moisturising Skin Cream ~ £13.50 or £19.50

Yu-Be is so effective on severe dry skin and truly sets itself apart from other creams. This concentrated moisturiser helps hydrate, heal, soothe and smooth severe dry skin. It also helps heal split cuticles and smooth rough, dry skin on hands, elbows and feet, while protecting and moisturising skin exposed to cold, wind, water and sun. Can be used on face, lips and body.

I am interested to see how this cult Japanese product works. Lets hope it really is a 'does it all' skin care item.

balance Me. Super Toning Body Wash ~ Various Prices/Sizes

The Vintage Cosmetic Company Floral Slanted Tweezers ~ £8.00

I hate it when tweezers are too thick at the end, but these appear to be quite a slim and precise tool, plus they are pretty.

Anatomicals Puffy The Eye Bag Slayer Wake-Up Under Eye Patches ~ £6.00 for 3 Pack

Reduces eye bags and puffiness.

Cleanse and thoroughly dry the face. Open the foil packet, peel off the plastic and immediately apply as shown in the illustration making sure you've smoothed the patches to ensure contact with the skin. For best results, leave on for 30 minutes and then gently remove.

It's unusual for me to have dark circles, but puffiness around my eyes does unfortunately happen. Especially first thing in the morning. Lets hope they work.

Vaseline Essential Moisture Lotion ~ Various Prices/Sizes

Its non-greasy formulation and multi-layer complex absorbs quickly leaving your skin silky smooth and looking healthy.

This has a non-offensive scent and absorbed quickly into my hand. I am sure this will work fine as a moisturiser, but it would have been nice to try the new spray and go version.

So that's all of the products. I am looking forward to trying out the eye patches, but overall I am not excited about this box. I know the idea of this 'Back To Basics' box was to start the new year with a clean and fresh new you after all of the festivities, but at least one interesting make-up or nail product would have livened it up a bit.
