December Glossybox! ♡

Hi guys!

So today I received the last Glossybox of 2015 and it's sO BEAUTIFUL that I couldn't not share it with you.


It's in collaboration with the beauty blogger Really Ree and it's so pretty and festive and rose gold and I'm so so SO in love with it!! Even the products kinda match the packaging and I can't wait to use them all!

*****

The first product I picked up was the 'Cheeky Chat Me Up' nail paint in the shade '24 Carat'.

(Full size: £7)

Usually, I wouldn't go for a gold shade as I feel it looks quite granny-ish? It might just be me, but I don't usually find them that flattering but I put it on to test it out and I've kinda fallen in love with it! Honestly, I would have preferred a more pinky/rose gold shade as this is more of a yellowy gold shade but paired with a pastel pink it'd look adorable or paired with a red nail varnish, it'd look wonderfully festive! I'll definitely be wearing it for Christmas!


The next product I picked up from this month's box was the 'Essence Liquid Lipstick' in the shade 'Show Off'.

(Full size: £2.50)

Okay so if you also got a Glossybox this month, please tell me this packaging confused you too?! I panicked thinking it was a regular lipstick and thought I snapped the packaging and panicked but luckily, I didn't. This product is easy to use, has an amazing coverage like a lipstick and a shiny finish like a lipgloss; however, the colour really doesn't suit me and I wish I'd received a red or nude shade, then I'd probably use it. Although I won't be using this product, I feel like this shade would be perfect for a statement lip at any upcoming Christmas parties you may have lined up! So if you can pull this colour off, go for it!


The next product I picked up was the 'So Susan Statement Skin Highlighter Pencil'.

(Full size: £15)

I only have one highlighter at the moment from the 'I Definition' contour palette from Makeup Revolution which is fairly good considering it was only £4.99, and I'm so happy to receive this as I have no idea what to look for when it come to highlighter and; although it was broken when I received it, I am seriously impressed with this and it has definitely found a place in my makeup bag! I don't really know what to say about this other than the fact it's absolutely gorgeous.


I then picked up the 'Darphin 8 Flower Nectar Oil Cream'.

(Full size: £65)

For this price for a full sized pot, I sure hope it's good! The leaflet says it's a 'hybrid oil/cream' which protects your skin through the winter months and boosts your hydration and radiance, which I definitely need right now! In my opinion it smells so pretty and refreshing, I'll definitely be trying this out tomorrow morning and I cannot wait!


After this, I picked up the 'ĂȘtre belle Golden Skin Caviar Eye Roll On'.

(Full size: £30.66)

This product is going to come in so so handy and I'm already contemplating buying a full sized one when I run out of this!
I'm one of those people that always has dark, tired looking eyes and am seriously in need of something like this so I'm incredibly happy to have received this product in this box.
I am still yet to use it but I already know I will be using this non stop until I run out.


Finally, the last product in the box is the 'Starskin Bio-Cellulose Second Skin Mask'.

(Full size: £8.50)

I am never one to try face masks as my skin is so easily irritated and quite dry which is seriously annoying but the packet says "Bio-Cellulose is considered the best material available for hydrating and reconditioning the skin without irritation' which I am over the moon about and it really sets my mind at ease, and I cannot wait to use this to see what it can do for my skin over these cold winter months!
