My July Glossybox

Gosh, I have so tried to create time to blog, but things kept creeping up that I had to take care of. First was my internet disconnecting every so often - all my bills are up to date, but my ISP has been disappointing lately. Secondly, I've been looking after my brothers cat since May and she gave birth to FOUR kittens almost 6 weeks ago; none of us knew she was pregnant until she gave birth on my couch on the 24th July. They will be 6 weeks old on Tuesday - such cute, mischievous little things! Anyway, I'm determined to get back on track - here are my thoughts on July's Glossybox:

Bex London - Londoner Urban Fragrance
Bex Londoner EC2 - Never heard of Bex prior to receiving this sample, to be frank I found this particular fragrance smelt a bit too masculine for me. I like my perfumes to be fruity and floral - just girly really. It is £81 for a 100ml bottle, which is ridiculous. You can buy other perfumes for more than half that price, which smell hundred times better than that. I won't be buying this in a hurry.

Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics Lip Frosting
Jelly Pong Pong Lip Frosting - This lip frosting, Irish Cream Pavlova, smells absolutely delicious! I just feel like squirting it in my mouth, it's so good! It gives a lovely pink tint on my lips, but you can also use it on your cheeks as a creamy blusher. This is a full size tube (15ml), which originally costs £10.

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse
Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse - I've only used this on my hair, 20 minutes before shampooing it. To be fair, my hair was slightly shinier than usual, but it didn't make a huge difference. I've yet to try it on my body/face.

Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Moisture Mist
Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Moisture Mist - This made my hair rather greasy, whereas it's supposed to "hydrate" it. However I did like the smell and it feels very refreshing on my skin.

Monu Eye Cool Gel
Monu Eye Cool Gel - I love products like these, but I never understand them; they don't seem to work for me... this didn't reduce my under-eye puffiness or my dark circles, like it said it does. I will keep using it though, it feels lovely and cool (I guess that's why it's called eye cool gel?!!).

Bonus Product
Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Gentle Hydrating Skincare
Elizabeth Arden Visible Gentle Hydrating Skincare - This was brilliant, I got about three days use out of these little samples; my skin was noticeably brighter and softer. If they were cheaper, I would definitely buy them, but for now I'll stick to my Simple Skincare regime.

I also received a green token, which got me this free gift (which I am yet to try):

Apologies For Inactivity

Hello all.

I haven't updated for a couple of months, this is mainly due to my internet playing up. I apologise and hope to get posting some pictures of recent purchases and also a few reviews.

Hope everyone's had a great "Summer", if you can call it that! :)
