In the RED NOTD

I love a red nail, so much so that I own a plethora of red nail polishes in every shade possible. I love the sexiness and shine of a perfect red manicure so throw some glitter into the mix and you have my perfect combo. So thats exactly what I did with my Glossy Box Deborah Lippman glitter nail polish and Barry M Red Wine, and these were the results! 

Base - Barry M Red Wine 

Top Coat - Deborah Lippmann (shade unidentified)

Barry M nail polishes will always be a staple in my life as they are cheap and reliable and I begrudge spending a fortune on nail varnishes. The Deborah Lippmann of course is pricier, and this is evident in the quality, however I probably would not purchase again purely based on the cost element alone. 

Having had surgery on my face, makeup has not been top priority this week unfortunately although as it is the other halts birthday tomorrow I thought I would treat myself to this little mani! 

What are your thoughts?

Please no...not another Glossy Box Review :)

Ok...so I know what your thinking not another GlossyBox review! I was reluctant to do another review as there are so many out there and I think everyone basically gets the idea of what GlossyBox is etc. 

I decided to do this review though basically because I felt I had been too harsh on them for their past 2 boxes and I genuinely feel they have redeemed themselves with the Christmas box. Im not saying I am 100% going to stay with Glossy Box as I do feel there are other beauty boxes on the market better suited for my preferences but I just had to say well done to Glossy Box for this box of treats :)

Firstly I loved the unique red box...feels very christmassy and will be lovely to keep for storage! Thats one bonus with Glossy Box...their boxes are top quality!

In this special edition box you got 2 full size products which I thought was a nice touch.

Blink and Go Hi-Definition Mascara Full Size £14.99

Rituals Foaming Shower Gel (can't wait to try this) Full Size £6.50

Deborah Lippmann Nail Varnish 

Full Size £16.00

I adore the colour of this and it looks so pigmented in the bottle I can't wait to wear this over the festive period!

Deborah Lippmann Polish Remover Mitt 

This will be handy to keep in your handbag for emergency's 

MEMEME Seventh Heaven Moisturising Facebase 

Full Size £15.00

I have never tried anything from this range so this will be interesting to try plus it is a generous sample size too. I have heard some people have used it as a primer so it will be good to see how it compares with my other make-up primers.

Also included was a Cargo Cosmetics mini Lip-gloss which has found a nice hiding place in my handbag somewhere probably never to be seen again...

Full Size £10.00

I loved the fact that this box focused on beauty and make-up products and there wasn't a perfume sample in sight :) I think they really have redeemed themselves with this box and it was well worth the £10 plus postage spent!
