lipgloss
This month I was lucky enough to get my hands on a Betrousse Glitz & Glamour beauty box, one of four beauty boxes currently available from Betrousse. The Glitz & Glamour beauty box, with its pretty pink and black packaging, contains four gorgeous full-sized products worth £37.00 for only £10.00 plus shipping!
The Glitz & Glamour box contains four full-sized products to prepare you for the winter months.
Benta Berry G-1 Exfoliating Facial Cleanser: My fiance has used one of the moisturisers from the Benta Berry range and he loved it, it worked wonders for his skin. It’s made from 100% natural ingredients and works to regulate the skin. I spend a lot of time on my evening cleanse so will enjoy using this. (30ml/£14.00)
JASON Normalising Shampoo: This shampoo smells divine and I simply can’t wait to try it. I’ve heard so many great things about JASON products but have only ever tried a lip balm from their range. Looking at the ingredients list there are a lot of natural extracts included, and the shampoo is free from SLS and parabens. (255ml/£7.29)
Fair Naturally Mango & Safflower Body Moisturiser: This rich, fruity body lotion contains organic and fairtrade ingredients so as well as nourishing your skin it helps mango, sugar and almond farmers around the world. (200ml/£3.99)
Make Believe Beauty Enhance Shimmer Lip Gloss: This lipgloss is from the tanning brand’s accompanying make-up range which has been created to enhance your tan. It contains a hint of shimmer so can be worn alone or worn over another lip colour. (15ml/£10.00)
The Betrousse Glitz & Glamour box previously contained a fifth product, a Tulecos oil, however these have now been removed from the boxes due to the oils reaching their expiry date.
This is such a great box, there aren't many beauty boxes out there that contain full-sized products. I also like that you don’t need to subscribe and you know what’s in the box before ordering, so you can just order a box on a one-off basis if you like the look of the products. If you like the look of this beauty box then simply head over to the Betrousse website where you can order one for £10.00 plus shipping http://www.betrousse.com
I have another Betrousse Glitz & Glamour beauty box to giveaway to one lucky reader, so keep your eyes peeled over the next few days and make sure you’re following on Bloglovin’ so you don’t miss your chance to win!
Disclosure: I received the Betrousse Glitz & Glamour beauty box for free for review, however all thoughts and opinion remain my own. With thanks to Betrousse for the sample.

The December beauty box from Joliebox arrived yesterday and it’s much better than last month’s box. I am a happy Joliebox subscriber once again!
The December Joliebox beauty box has a Party theme – although I think the theme should have been Spain, you’ll understand why in a minute. This month the design of both the box and the little drawstring bag has changed; it has a white and gold design instead of the usual black. The Menu card tells you what’s in your box and this month’s issue of Joliemag features Fiona Leahy.
There are seven products (or eight if you count the duplicates separately) in this month’s box, plus some bonus Lindt chocolates, yummy!
Color Club “Put A Pin In It” Nail Polish – This is one of two shades that were exclusively designed for Joliebox/Birchbox members. Put A Pin In It is a frosty rose gold shade and looks very pretty.
Natural Honey Body Milk – I’ve never heard of this brand before, the language on the bottle is Spanish so that’ll explain why! It smells nice, like shea butter, and I get through body lotions like there’s no tomorrow so I’'ll make good use of this.
Bella Pierre Shimmer Powder “Antiqa” – This is a dark purple-brown shade and is super shimmery. I think it will work really well with my green eyes and will create quite a dramatic look.
I Love… Cosmetics Shimmer and Shine Lipgloss – There’s always one product in a beauty box that doesn’t impress and this is it. Pale pink and smelling of sweets, I’ll probably give this to my 3 year old step-daughter.
Olay Regenerist Skin Cream - I did think this is a bit random as Olay is such a well-known brand, why do they need to put their product in a beauty box?! And it appears to be a Spanish version. I don’t mind, I like moisturisers!
Doctor Duve Hand and Decollete Cream - You get two sachets of this cream; one for your hands and one for your decollete perhaps? With the freezing cold weather these are perfect for my poor dry chapped hands.
Agua de Colonia Concentrada Alvarez Gomez – More Spanish stuff! It’s a really sweet, citrus fragrance. I quite like it, though not as a perfume. I might sprinkle it on my duvet to make my bedroom smell sweet.
I think it’s quite a good mix this month and (almost) back to Joliebox’s usual standards. I’m really pleased with the Bella Pierre Shimmer Powder and the Color Club Nail Polish.
Joliebox costs £10.00 per month plus shipping and they have now introduced a referral scheme so if you fancy trying it out please feel free to use my referal link http://joliebox.co.uk/?raf=674

What do you think of this month’s box?
A few weeks ago my bump buddy, Kelly, and I went on our usual
monthly shopping trip to Cambridge. We were full of intentions of buying baby
bits but after spending hours gossiping we came home with nothing for the
babies and a few cheeky bits for us!
We were wandering about in John Lewis and Kelly mentioned
she wasn’t getting on with her usual Clinique foundation. Seeing as we were in John Lewis beauty hall I
said why not visit a few counters and see if they can match her up to a new
foundation. The Chanel counter was our first – and final! - port of call. I’d recently tried a little
sample of Chanel Perfection Lumiere and loved it, but the Chanel lady explained
that was a medium-heavy coverage foundation and as Kelly was after something
light she suggested Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua. She said it was a light coverage
foundation that she felt was between a foundation and a tinted moisturiser.
She found the shade to match Kelly’s skintone and tested a
patch near her ear; the colour was perfect and the coverage so light, it looked
fab. So I asked the Chanel lady to match me up too! I turned out to be shade
40. I don’t often wear foundation, usually only if my skin is looking a bit
grotty or if I am going on a night out, but when I do use it I like a light
coverage. I think it looks dreadful when you can tell someone is wearing
foundation. Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua
evens out my skintone but doesn’t make me feel like I’m wearing mask. It just
makes me look like I naturally have lovely skin! It’s long lasting too; I wore
it when I went to a friend’s BBQ and it was still perfect when I got home which must have been a good 10 hours wear on a very warm day.
What made it even better was that John Lewis had a 10% off
day so I got it for £27.90 instead of £31.00 and then the Chanel lady gave us
each a cute miniature Intense Radiance Lipgloss in 166 Amour – a juicy watermelon
shade with a hint of shimmer – as well as a moisturiser sample. I was given Hydra Beauty Gel Creme as my skin
is crazy combination at the moment. I never know what it’s going to do from one
day to the next!
