This first product by Uniq One has done wonders for my hair! It has 10 treatments all in one and basically gives your hair everything it needs. My hair felt super soft and healthy afterwards, so I really recommend this to you guys! I haven't actually used the Noble Isle shower gel but it looks very luxurious and smells gorgeous. So I can't wait to try it!

This Weleda product is a mystery, as I have no idea what it is. There isn't a single word of English on either the box or the tube! Tell me if you guys know what this is, because I absolutely love this brand but I don't know how to use this product! 

These Let's Go lashes were really lovely to use. The shape really opened up my eyes and looked surprisingly natural. So I will be buying me some more of these!


 This little mirror was actually the anniversary gift from Glossybox and I was happy to receive it! I always seem to be losing these type of compact mirrors, and this one is very small and lightweight, making it perfect for your handbag.


And finally the May box came with 2 perfume samples both from Lolita Lempicka. The one on the right smells a bit like Diet Coke to me, which is a little strange but it's still a nice smell. And then L'Eau en Blanc has notes of cherry, violets and vanilla, which I absolutely adore! I need to stop myself from buying the full size, as I have way too many perfumes already!


 Tell me what you guys think of the May Glossybox. Are you impressed with the products?

Revlon Lip Butters Review

Hi everyone!

Today I'm finally doing the highly requested Revlon Lip Butters review! I've had them for a while now, so I feel like I've formed an opinion and now I can share it with you guys.

Want to see me talk about these lip butters? Then click here




Packaging: Looks just like a classic lipstick, which I think is nice! The lids are all different shades and somewhat represent the colour of the actual lipstick. One thing I found though, was that it was quite difficult to open these lip butters. Maybe I got a faulty batch? The lids were very stiff, so I got a little annoyed with that!

Formula:  Rich and creamy, I was really impressed! The application was nice and smooth, after which my lips felt very moisturized. However, I wouldn't recommend these lip butters if you have dry and chapped lips, because they emphasise the dry areas even more and make your lips look clumpy.

Colour: The pigmentation actually varies between all the shades, because I found some colours to be more rich than others. But you definitely get a lot more pigment than a standard lip balm or lip butter, which is why I would describe these Revlon ones as something in between.

Scent: I could smell a hint of some sweetness but I'm guessing they are supposed to be fragrance free, which is great for those of you with sensitive skin. But I personally would have preferred some delicious fruity fragrance, something that would tempt you to eat it off your lips!

Lasting Power: Quite impressive actually! If you don't eat or purposely wipe the colour off, then these lip butters will stay put. And they will look exactly the same as when you first applied them!

090 Sweet Tart
This colour I found to be the most pigmented. It's a very bright coral pink shade so it's perfect for summer!

045 Cotton Candy
This one is more of a muted pink shade but it has golden shimmer going through, which makes it look stunning on the lips. It's a little more sheer but still pretty pigmented!

095 Creme Brulee
This final one is perfect for those of you into nude colours. I really enjoyed wearing this for every day as it's not too bright but still adds a little colour. So if you're unsure about which shade to pick, then go for this one! It's a safe choice and the neutral tone will suit everyone.

So overall, I would definitely recommend these Revlon Lip Butters. With over 20 shades to chose from, you will surely find something you like!
