The Melt Crowd- March Box

Hey everyone, 

I decided today to keep brining the wax melt boxes I am going to be recieving and unbox them for you. Today will be Flamingo Candles- the melt crowd box. This box is £10 a month (including postage) and with your first box you receive a melter too. Unfortuantly I decided to throw the packaging away this month (doh!) but still have all the melts and my favourites to show you. 

We recieved:

Spring Break (melt crowd preview)

Ylang Ylang & Bergamot Essential Oils (preview) 

Spearmint (exclusive) 

Bunny Kisses

French Lime Blossom (exclusive) 

Mango & Dragonfruit 

Easter egg (exclusive) 

Very Vanilla (exclusive) 

Bunny Kisses

Bunny Kissses is the new release for Easter from Flamingo Candles which is already available for purchase. I find that this melt has a very perfumey scent which I know a lot of people won't like. It has a gorgeous white chocolate colour and is a perfect shape and colour for the Easter season. 

My Favourites

This time my favourites are  Easter egg (extremely chocolatey and will be melted on Easter Sunday), Spearmint (I needed this a week ago when I had a cold, it's very strong and would clear your nose) and Mango & Dragonfruit (perfect for the spring and is extra fruity!). 

Least Favourites

This time around I found two of the exclusive scents to my be least favourite. Very Vanilla is not very vanilla at all to me and will be melted with a linen scent as well to build the scent. Where as French Lime Blossom is just very strong and not very flowery at all to me. These two melts where the least like their scent descriptions in my opinion. 

As always with The Melt Crowd you do also receive a 20% off coupon code to use on their site, which I may use to buy more Mango & Dragonfruit seen as it is in their permenant line.

Glossybox- February 2016

Hey everyone! 

I really don't know how to start this months post. Probably best to get out the way the fact that I've now cancelled Glossybox and March's box will be my last review. Why? Well basically I've found that I keep getting products I can't use and repeat items. I don't find this box as fun anymore (which you've probably seen from my reviews) and this includes this box too. Glossybox is £10 a month + postage and you can purchase subscriptions for these, three, six and a year. 

Before I get into this months Glossybox, I did also receive a sorry gift from the customer service for them sending me a duplicate item. This is what I received. 

I really can't fault Glossybox's customer service and every time I've had to contact them, I've had a really good experience from them. Other subscription box companies could take a page out of their book. 

As for this months box, I always go in the order of most excited to least excited and unfortunatly it was hard for me to place. Here's what I chose. 

Naobay Protective Hair Mask Volume Condition- full size is £10.64- luxury size

I don't know if many of you know this but I do like my hair masks and use one every other time I wash my hair. I tend to leave them on for ten minutes and then wash off with cold water. Cold water helps lock shine in. I do like the products I have tried from Naobay from Glossybox before so I am the most excited about this product. 

MUA Power Pout Glaze Low Voltage Gloss- full size- £3.50 

I musts admit when subscribers were asked to pick the gloss they would like to receive in this box, I wasn't excited by the options. I picked the nude as I knew I would be able to wear this at work, however I must admit it's more like a clear. You have to click this pen quite a lot at the start proving there really isn't much product in this. Expect to see this in my empties soon. 

The Vintage Cosmetic Company Floral Slanted Tweasers- full size- £8

Need I say more why I wasn't very impressed about recieving these? I can buy some good Tweasers at my local supermarket and we even sell this make of Tweasers at work so they are pretty easily accessible to me. Very disappointed. 

Wilkinson Sword Intuition Razor- Full size- £6.99 

Normally I would be pretty happy about recieving a full size and good brand razor however due to the fact I've been with Glossybox for over a year, I have actually recieved a Wilkinson Sword razor before. I was a little disappointed that this item was in the February Valentines box too. 

Nicka K New York 24H Waterproof Eyeliner- Full size- £3.99

I really do have way too many eyeliners now to be excited by this. I do like the fact that it's creamy and a colour which is wearable, however I really don't need another. Especially from a subscription box. 

I'm sorry to have sounded like such a downer on this review but I'm just not enjoying this box anymore. I'd rather give you an honest review.

Glossybox-November

Hey everyone. 

I really didn't know what to post today. It was a mash up between the Glossybox review or my #14by14Feb update. Glossybox seemed the more natural route to go as tomorrow is the 14th. This months theme was Lipstick to Lashes and I must admit I was dissapionted. We will go into that more later on. Glossybox is a monthly subscription box which costs £10 + p&p and you can buy the boxes in 3 monthly or yearly subscriptions. They also make boxes for other countries, so it's worth checking out if they have one in your area. If you haven't seen a Glossybox review by myself before I start with my favourite and end on my least favourite. 

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick- full size- £7.99 

I was so relieved to receive the colour I picked for this box (unfortunatly I don't have the lipstick with me at the moment and I can't remember the name), subscribers were able to pick the month before, where as non-subscribers just got a colour picked. There were 4 colours in total. I remembered this colour as one that Jessica Braun on YouTube enjoys and thought her reviews are great. She is totally right! Even though I've only swatched it, it is super creamy and instantly pigmented. I can't wait for this colour! 

Emite Diamond Heart Primer- travel size- Full size is £25.90

As you all know, I love my primers. This brand has appeared in a Glossybox before and to be honest, I wasn't that impressed with that product. However I do have high hopes for this one. It is said to balance skin tone, boost radiance and creates a smooth finish for the day ahead. The test for a good primer for me is if it lasts longer that 3 hours on my t-zone (the oiliest part of my face). That's how I know if it's a good primer or not.

Royal Apothic Body Lotion- travel size- full size is £14.50

I must admit, I've always liked Royal Apothic products ever since my first ever Glossybox where their lip tinties was featured. This body lotion is exactly what you need in the colder months as it is a soft moisturiser which doesn't lay heavy on the skin. It doesn't exactly have a scent which is also a plus. Will defiantly be used! 

MUA Eyeshadow Palette in Undressed- full size- £4.00 

Okay most people would be happy about this and I must admit, any other palette or even a different on e from this brand and I would be. However this palette I just recently panned and completely used in my #panthatpalette on Instagram. The only colours I had left were two, the far bottom left and the far bottom right. As you can tell, this palette is going to be given to a friend. 

Eylure Natural Lashes- full size- £5.00 

I don't really have much to say about these lashes apart from the fact that lashes and I have never got on and so I don't use them anymore. These will also be passed on to a friend. 

As I said in the introduction, this isn't a bad box. Just for myself, it came at the wrong time and I just don't use lashes. However the lipstick, primer and body lotion will be loved.
