My Highend Skincare & Bodycare collection

Hey everyone! 

Here's round 2 of my highend collection, my skincare and Bodycare collection. I don't own as much bath and body as I do makeup and most of it I get from subscription boxes but I'm not complaining. I do love my skincare and I love trying out different types. My skin type is combination/oily but mostly oily. I find that my skin likes emolient products during the nighttime and lighter products during the day. I also love a good mud mask! Anyways on to the highend skincare.

Cleansers/makeup removers:

Ren Clarimatte Cleansing Gel- I love this cleanser in the morning as a facial wash. Not rough and doesn't dry out my skin. 

BeautyLab Glycowash- I haven't tried this yet, going through others first. 

Clinique Rinse off Eye makeup remover- Beautiful product, one swipe and the product is gone. Almost finished this bottle for #14by14Feb.

Serums and Moisturisers:

Elizabeth Grant Supreme Essance of Torrcellumn- I recieved this in a bloggers box and I've actually really enjoyed it. Very light and soaks in easily. 

Nude Eye serum- not used this yet, will be started in the morning. 

InstaNaturals Retinol Serum- My nightime serum. It helped get rid of my Milla and has reduced spots! Love this but very very pricey. I recieved this product free for my honest review.

Ren Clarimatte Gel Creme- a very thin moisturiser, perfect for the day. A little goes a long way! 

Talika Photo-hydra- Very dissapionted in this product. I recieved it in my Glossybox and although I love a good moisturiser, it's barely got any product in it! 

Clinique moisturiser sample- I've tried this sample before and I love it. As with the ren sample, a little goes a long way. 

Body:

Nip+Fab Viper Venom Body Serum- I haven't tried this body lotion yet but I have used one before from nip+fab and I loved it! Sank in well and didn't make my skin oily.

Philosophy Snow Angel Body Scrub- I tried this today and the little scrubs in the product are not too harsh and it felt smooth to use. 

L'occaitane Almond Oil- I know this is a holy grail product for many and yet I have to see what like product is like. I don't believe that my skin likes oils so I may not be able to use this. 

Royal Apothic Cream Creme- This body Creme is lovely. I found that it rubbed in quite quickly and wasn't greasy at all. Just not worth the full amount. 

Others:

Nip+Fab Dragons Blood Cleansing Pads- I actually forgot to add this into my cleanser section so it's here. I've nearly finished these up and to be honest I haven't found a difference in my skin. They do take off makeup traces though. 

GlamGlow- I have only tried this product once and it did tingle and make my skin quite red afterwards. A good moisturiser is needed after use. 

InstaNaturals Dead Sea Mud Mask- I recently recieved this product to review and my post will be up soon! 

Dr Lipp Nipple Balm for lips- I actually use this balm for my cuticles and it's slowly becoming a holy grail. I know this isn't classed as high end really, but I think £11.50 is expensive for a lip balm! 

Crabtree & Evenlyn La Sorce hand cream- this is a very thick hand cream! It's very emolient but doesn't leave a greasy film afterwards. It doesn't work as well as my Soap & Glory though. 

I hope these mini reviews helped! I do like my highend but I would never buy anything full price.

Glossybox- August!

Hey everyone, 

It seems like delivery central at my house at the moment with us wanting all our items to arrive before we go to Italy. Luckily my Glossybox arrived yesterday and I've already swatched and played with a few things. 

If you do not know, Glossybox is £10 + p&p a month and you get around 5-6 items a time ranging from makeup, skincare and haircare. Glossybox also have boxes for other countries, however you will have to look on their websites to find out which ones. On to the unboxing! As always I've put the large items first. 

Naobay Calming Face Toner- Full Size- £10.65

As you can imagine I was rather happy about skincare being in this months box! I've tried this brand before and I loved how the product worked so hopefully this will be just as good. As soon as I saw the product description I wanted to smell it (it has chamomile in it) and unfortunately it does not smell great. However I do always give skincare a try first! 

Sass Purifying Cleanser- Sample size- full size is £7

Another brand which has featured in Glossybox before and that I was pleasantly surprised with! Last time we recieved an intimate shave gel this time it is an intimate cleanser. Now I've never used a product like this so I have nothing to compare it to! However I do know I'll have to keep this in my bedroom or else my father or boyfriend may mistake it for skincare! 

Emite Artist Colour Powder Blush- Full Size- £20.59

I do not consider this colour a blush! Do not get me wrong, I love the fact Glossybox included a full size artist blush. However how many skin tones is this actually going to suit? After swatching on my hand and reading the description, it does say it could be used as a bronzer too. But with my pale skin tone, even that will be too dark. Don't expect this to be in my collection long. 

Manna Kadar Lash Primer- Full size- £14.55 

You better believe I was super happy about a lash primer being in our boxes this month! I've never used a primer before and this one is said to keep your lashes primed before mascara with vitamin b12. It has a white colour, so if you don't apply mascara fully, you will notice white dots so do be careful! 

MeMeMe Lipglide in Playful Peach- Full size- £6.95

Peach is defiantly an in colour at the moment, showing it's face in lots of collections so Glossybox was right on que here! Peach is not really a colour I gravitate towards however I will always give a lip product a go. Another full size item here! 

Overall this box was pretty good! I'm happy with everything here except the "blush" and am excited for next months box too! The sneak preview is a full size hair mask by the brand Maria Nila worth £18.95. I'm always up for a good hair mask!
