Glossybox Unboxing! July 2013
Hey everyone!
My parents treated me to a glossybox as part of my birthday present, I'll be putting up my presents when I recieve the ones from my mum (I'll be seeing her soon ^^)
Here it is! :D
This month's theme is "Seaside Splash", the box design is just STUNNING! I love the aquatic blue and coral colours, so summery ^^
What I got ^^
Left to Right-
Coola Mineral Face SPF 20 Rose Essence Tint- A tinted moisturiser that claims to tone, sooth, minimise pores, and protect from sun damage and ageing. Due to the anti-ageing part of it, I may give it to my step-mum. ^^
Alterna Haircare Bamboo Style Boho Waves Tousled Texture Mist- I am so excited to use this! My hair is so falt and dull. It claims to add texture, volume, and shine to all hair types.
Anatomicals Spray "Misty for Me" Facial Spritz- Another thing to pack for my holiday. The lavender and peppermint is so refreshing! Another winner :3
Pukka Ayurveda Radience Serum- Claims to give that coveted "summer glow", full of lovely aloe vera and manuka honey, gotu kola and lemon balm which claim to tone and brighten your complexion. It sounds too good to be true ^^
Ciate London Paint Pot in Pocket Money- A really nice rosy nude ^^ I have wanted to try one of the Ciate Paint Pots for so long!! I'm excited to try it out :)

| Just realised that the box matches my nails xD |
Overall- This has been a great first glossybox experience! I'm really excited to try all the products (except one). Hopefully I can get some more ^^
But seriously...how beautiful is this box design?

Sephora Haul: From my trip to Venice ^^
Hey everyone!
I went to Venice for a few days with school and I was determined to go shopping in Sephora, as we don't have any in the U.K. *crys* I just wanted to show you all the few things that I bought, including two things I picked up at the airport.
I will be doing a post with a few of the pictures I took in Venice so stay tuned for that ^^
I tried to only look at brands that we can't get in the U.K. but they had some reduced high end products and I just couldn't resist xD
Pupa "Like a Doll" Cream Blush in 202 Doll Peach (made in Italy :3)-
Damn this blush is puuuurrtttyyyyyyyy (pretty), a stunning orangy coral with golden shimmer which I'm hoping will give a lovely radiant finish. A gorgeous summery colour ^^
 |
| Of course I had to try a Sephora product! These were both reduced to 3 euros each. Sephora Liner Electro in 02 Metal Electro- |
A nice metallic silver kohl eyeliner. I actually thought it was a grey colour but oh well, silver is always nice.
Sephora Kohl and Liner Waterproof in 03 Keep Brown-
This colour is so pretty! It's a really nice brown that has a bronze sheen, I've been really into brown eyes lately ^^
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Waterproof Eye Pencil in Oil Slick-
I have wanted one of these pencils for sooooo long! It was reduced to 12 euros in Sephora so I couldn't resist. I got Oil Slick which is a grey/black with a silver shimmer, it's really nice, I can't wait to test its durability ^^ My first Urban Decay product :)
Benefit Silky-finish Lipstick in Skinny Dip-
I got this reduced to 12.50 euros which I thought was a great deal, but when I got home I saw you could get it on the website for £7 because they are being discontinued -_- oh well. It's a lovely natural pink brown, my perfect lipstick shade! And my first Benefit lippie.
Testers- Lily fragrance by Stella McCartney-
Why don't Boots give you free testers? It's such a cool idea. Anyway, this perfume is just gorgeous, it's sweet and floral but oddly quite mature as well.
Sephora Instant Moisturiser (unused)
Sephora Smoothing Primer (unused)
L'oreal Paris True Match Powder in Golden Beige-
A nice silky face powder that I got at the airport because my Stay Matte one broke the day before and L'oreal had an offer on. Full review coming soon!
And L'oreal Paris True Match Touche Magique Concealor in Ivory Beige-
Got this half price ^^ I've tried it a few times and I quite like it, full review soon!
That's it! See you soon ^^
Lots of love, Laura xx
