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

Maybelline Baby Skin Review


So a few months ago I never even knew what primer was. I never knew how to use it or even what it did. But recently I've seen a lot of blog posts about different kinds of primers and I am a huge fan of Baby Lips by Maybelline anyways so when I saw this Baby Skin Pore Eraser \I decided to buy it and try it out.
I bought this product from Boots for £7.99 and I think this is one of the kind of cheapest primers, most good ones are more expensive (from my research).
I'd also kind of had a problem with my pores and the skin on and around my nose, it's quite bumpy and uneven so that's the place I concentrated the most on with the primer. So I read reviews on this product and I found mixed opinions. Some people didn't like it because compared to their more expensive products, it's not very good, but this is my opinion from a point of view that's never used a primer before. 
I applied it with a very skeptical view that it would make my skin any better but I couldn't be more wrong. True to its name it made my skin feel like a babies bottom, I even bragged to my friends at how soft my cheeks were! I have dry skin around my nose anyways and some of the people's reviews I've read said that it was too oily but for me it was perfect. It actually kind of helped my dry skin, keeping it moist all night long. I also have troubles keeping my foundation on my cheeks all day but this helped with that and my foundation stayed on all night. It made my powder, bronzer and blusher go on perfectly too and made my skin look flawless.
I've only used this product a couple of times and I'm sure I might find some flaws with it in the future but for now I'm going to look forward wearing it on a night out (I wouldn't wear it everyday and give my pores and break) and if you're looking for your first primer, I highly suggest this!

Stay Happy
Sarah
