July Glossybox!! (Spoilers)

I was so happy when I opened this months GlossyBox as I'm in love with all things American, and this month's box design was dedicated to it!
The box design was so stunning that I just sat admiring it for a bit until my curiosity got too much and I had to open it. I was pleasantly surprised that all the products this month were also full products and from the looks of it, I'll use every single one of them! 



Firstly is the ABSOLUTE New York Perfecting Eyeshadow Primer. And I've actually never owned a eyeshadow primer before, which I know is pretty bad, and I'd been thinking about buying one. But now I have this one that I can try out and I can't wait to see how well it works on my lids, as I have my birthday this weekend so lots of partying to test it out!


Next is the Bellapiere Cosmetics Ltd Mineral Lipstick in the colour Mandarina. It's a really deep orange and as you know I've fallen in love with orange lipsticks lately. So I can't wait to try this one out!


The next product is the Color Club nail polish in the colour Glossy Seal, especially made for this months Glossybox. It's a really pretty teal colour and I can't wait to try this out!


The next product is the NYC New York Color Cream to Powder Blush Stick in Never Sleeping Pink. I've never tried a cream blush before and this is a kind of pink I've also never tried so I'm excited to see what it looks like!


Lastly is the Carmex Lip Balm that I have surprisingly never tried before either and I'm not sure why. But I have just tried this and it makes my lips feel so soft and doesn't taste as horrible as most lip balms too. Also feels tingly when it goes on, don't know if it's supposed to but it feels great! Great product!



Overall I'm really pleased with this months Glossybox and will definitely be using everything in this months. I can't wait to try everything out, reviews will hopefully be out soon!

Thanks for reading
Stay Happy,
Sarah

Bloggers Do Collections Better!

So I thought about what would be my biggest collection that I have and without a shadow of a doubt, it's my nail polish collection. I used to be massively into nail art and bought a couple of nail polishes a week. I'm less into it now because of time but I'm still pretty proud of my nail varnish collection. But instead of going through all of my nail varnishes I just chose the biggest brand that I have which is Barry M. I fall in love with Barry M colours and the consistency and drying time is amazing for the price that they are. So I've split them up a bit and I'll go through them now. 



Firstly are the special polishes that I have. Going from left to right, the first one is the crackle nail effect that I bought ages ago. I don't use this as much now but I still think it's a really interesting effect for your nails. 
Next is the Amethyst Glitter varnish. It has different flecks of lots of different coloured glitters and over a coloured nail varnish, this looks amazing. 
Next is the Silvery Lilac. This colour is iridescent so it looks completely different in different lights. There's also tiny pieces of glitter in there too which makes it glitter even more. 
Next is one of my favourites which is the Teal one. This is really shiny and I absolutely love the turquoise colour of it. It looks amazing with a tan. 
Next is the Limited Edition colour 340. This is a gold colour that has long rectangular pieces of gold glitter in which makes it a really interesting nail polish. I haven't tried this yet because I got it recently bit I can't wait to. 
Next is the Yellow Topaz Glitter and it's simply just chunks of gold glitter. It looks amazing over black nail varnish for that added sparkle and you can put as much or as less as you want on. 
Next is the Black Multi-Glitter nail polish which is simple a black polish with flecks on glitter in it. It's so simple but really effective with any outfit. 
And lastly is the Nail Effects in silver which is just a metallic silver that looks amazing on nails and I can't wait to use it when I have a tan. 


Next is just some random colours. The first is Cyan Blue and it's a really nice bright blue. The next is just a simple clear coat but it's easily one of the best ones I've ever bought. This is my go-to nail polish because it dries so quickly. Next is just a simple black and again it's go-to black because of the colour quality and how quickly it dries. 
Next is Block Orange which is just a really bright orange that looks amazing on holiday. And next is a bright pink called Pink Flamingo which is the same as the orange and looks amazing on holiday. And lastly is just a simple white but it's a must have this summer because of the price and quality of product. 


But this set is definitely my favourite. The first one is pastel yellow called Lemon. I'm really into pastels at the moment and this is the perfect pale yellow. Next is the Gelly Hi-Shine in Dragon which is just a really pale pink. And next is the Gelly Hi-Shine in Papaya which is my newest and most favourite colour at the moment. It's a kind of pale peach colour that I'm obsessed with in the sun. And next is my other favourite and it's the Gelly Hi-Shine in Greenberry. It looks amazing with a tan and I'm loving the mint green colour this summer. And the next is Coral which is a really bright colour. And lastly is the colour Berry which is a pastel purple. As you can see I'm into pastels a lot this summer!


So that's my collection post for this weeks #bloggersdoitbetter and I hope you enjoyed it!
Stay happy
