Jemma Kidd Make Up School Dewy Glow All Over Radiance Creme in Rose Gold

This had me at "Rose Gold", the Jemma Kidd Dewy Glow All Over Radiance Creme is a cream shimmery highlighter that gives an instant luminous glow when applied to areas where the light hits the face such as high points of the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, above and below the eyebrows. It can also be applied to the cupid's bow for fuller looking lips or to the inner corners of the eyes to help brighten up the eyes.

MAC Lipstick in Ruby Woo

My first MAC lipstick! Funnily enough I actually don't own that many MAC products in my makeup collection but recently I've been tempted into trying out more MAC products. So I decided to pick up Ruby Woo - a cult classic!

June Glossybox

I was actually meant to cancel my Glossybox subscription but forgot to do so earlier this month and so ended up receiving this month's box. After unboxing it, I reached for my laptop, logged on to the Glossybox website and clicked cancel.

In my box, I received a Glossybox Serie Exclusiv Pro Beauty Brush (which didn't really appeal to me at all); MeMeMe Cosmetics Sensuous Nail Gloss (nice nude peach colour); BM Beauty Summer Warmth Bronzer (looking forward to trying this); Caudalie Eau Fraiche in Fleur de Vigne (scent: fresh, grapefruit, tangerine, cedar); Vichy Dermablend Ultra-corrective Foundation Cream Stick sample starter kit.

I'm so disappointed with this month's box, the only things I would enjoy are the BM Beauty bronzer and the Caudalie Eau Fraiche...all the rest I can do without. The brush feels and looks cheap, I doubt I'll even use it. MeMeMe nail polish is a nice colour but I'm not really much of a fan of the brand. Finally, the most disappointing thing for me is the Dermablend sample kit...I mean I can sample these in Boots for crying out loud! Anyway, sorry if I sound very negative in this post but honestly I personally think that this box is probably the worst one I've received. I was so unhappy with it that I wasn't even going to do a post on it but I thought I'd share. I've seen the other products other people have received, and some of the other products seem to be a bit better (like the HD brow tweezers and Green People Sun Lotion) but I guess that's the luck of the beauty box draw!

What do you think about this month's Glossybox?

Illamasqua Powder Blush in Naked Rose - Naked Strangers Collection

Another gorgeous Illamasqua blush added to my collection - Naked Rose from their new Naked Strangers Collection.

Real Techniques Blush Brush

Right...So I've FINALLY jumped on the Real Techniques bandwagon! I see what everyone's raving about now and my goodness...am I in love! I was actually waiting to see if Boots were going to do another 3 for 2 offer on the brushes but so far it hasn't happened yet so I decided to only pick up the blush brush for the time being. I will DEFINITELY be getting the other brushes though that's fo' sho! This blush brush is great for contouring and defining the cheeks, as well as blending out the product flawlessly. I've been reaching for this pretty much every day since I started using it, because I love the result it gives my cheeks. The bristles are ultra-soft...when I used this for the first time I did a little "ahhhhhh....mmmm...." moment because of how soft it is! The bristles are also synthetic so product stays on the surface and does not seep into the bristles so you use up less product. I also love that the Real Techniques brushes are self-standing which is quite a handy way to store the brush. Overall, VERY IMPRESSED with Real Techniques! I can't wait to try out the other brushes... they're already on my wishlist :)
