Inglot Haul

Hey everyone so last Friday I had the opportunity to go to Limerick to volunteer at a fashion show. The make up brand that was being used was Inglot and was a great opportunity to try out all their products and get some hints a tips. Luckily my brother lives in Limerick so I was able to stay with him and do some retail therapy while I was there. Of course I had to go to the Inlgot store while I was there (which just happens to be right across the road from my bros! (Heaven!!!) So I picked up a few bits that I could use in my college kit!

Freedom Blush Palette x4 €36 L-R 48, 20, 45, 23.

Freedom Round Eyeshadow Palette x5 €12 (Special Offer) This was pre made so unfortunately I don't have the shades :(

Hey everyone so this Thursday 30th of August I am going to Luton to visit my friend and plan on doing some shopping while I'm there!

Nail Polish Storage

Hi everyone, can't believe it has been a year since I have posted on this! Bad blogger!! :( Well I finally got my new camera and should have my new iMac soon (courtesy of my brother not wanting his anymore :D ) so will have regular posts up and running soon! Anyway on to this post: I thought I would share my nail polish storage! I kept seeing pictures of peoples nail polish racks and really wanted one but all the pre made ones were very expensive to ship to Ireland and too small for me. So I decided to build my own! In total it cost less than €50 to build and that was including paint etc. I'm so happy with how it turned out! So here is an overview picture of the rack:

Now I know it looks like an awful lot of nail polish......and well....yeah I suppose it is! Haha but I am totally obsessed with painting my nails!

So along the top I have Sally Hanson and Bourjois which didn't fit in the rack. Next row is Models Own (love their polishes). Then Nails Inc which is starting to spill over. Next row is OPI, China Glaze and Orly (love these but hard to source where I live :(

Next up is Gosh, MeMeMe, Ciate and Missguided. Colour Club, MUA, Illamasqua, Leighton Denny, Mac, Debra Lippman, MNY, Paul's Boutique. Avon, Sinful Colours, Barry M. Revlon, No.7. Rimmel, Beauty UK, 17.

2true, NYC, Max Factor, Miss Sporty. ELF, Bow by Nails Inc, L'oreal. Catrice, Smooch. W7. Twilight, BYS, Wet n Wild, Angelica, Essence. More Essence. So that is an overview of my nail polish storage and collection! I hope to have a section soon just for swatches so keep an eye out for that! Any questions or comments leave them below! Thanks for reading, Jennifer x

September Glossy Box

Hey everyone so I know I am very late on the whole Glossy Box hype but for all the Irish lassies out there you will know that this was the first Glossy Box that could be shipped to Ireland and that it also took a week longer to get to us than everyone else :(

Small price to pay I suppose to actually be able to get it! lol

So this is what Glossy Box say on their webpage www.glossybox.com

"Stay up to date with current trends and discover new niche brands
Every month, GLOSSYBOX delivers a mix of 5 exciting product miniatures packed in a beautiful box for you to test at home
Join for just £10.00 per month
(plus p+p. There is no minimum subscription term)"

I really love this concept and fully understand that you probably will not like everything you get but to like one thing from each box I think is enough for me! :D

So on to the package itself!

The outer packaging and the actually box itself.....love the girliness of it :D

All beautifully wrapped inside the box

Over view of the products I received (they can vary person to person)

Neal and Wolf - Harmony Intensive Care Treatment
"HARMONY has been specially created to repair damaged hair using a unique combination of intensive conditioners that deliver an instant transformation leaving hair shiny, healthy and manageable."

HD Brows - Eye & Brow palette
"Eyebrow experts HD Brows have developed a handy handbag palette with four matt eyebrow colours, which can also double up as an eye shadow and eyeliner."

LOOOOVE this palette so much I've booked myself in to get the 7 step HD Brow treatment! Will blog about it when I get it done!

Mary Greenwell - Plum eau de parfum
"The Plum Collection is a quintessentially British proposition by an inspirational make-up legend and a celebrated master of fragrance, Mary Greenwell. Mary’s personality radiates through tactile, youthful design including the 22 carat gold plated cap and solid parfum casing, with the vibrant pink and green packaging reflecting Mary’s love of colour. Top notes of plum, blackcurrant, peach, bergamot and lemon blend with heart notes gardenia, tuberose absolute, orange flower absolute, rose absolute and jasmine absolute and a base of precious woods, sandalwood, oakmoss, patchouli, amber and white musk. The collection begins the story of femininity and joy…."

Dead Sea Spa Magik - Salt Brushing
"Voted ‘Best Exfoliator’ by You magazine. A harmonious blend of pure Dead Sea Salts, vitamin E and coconut oil with a hypnotic citrus aroma make this wonderfully pampering body exfoliator a number one, best selling product. Salt Brushing is suitable for those who desire a highly nourishing exfoliating treatment that naturally exfoliates without irritating. With anti-oxidant Vitamin E and Coconut oil nourishing and hydrating the skin, it can help break down adipose tissue, reduces cellulite, detoxify the body, speed up cell metabolism and stimulates cell regeneration. A must for rejuvenating the body!"

Overall I am quite pleased with my first Glossy Box, I got two full sized products, two small samples and one generous sample so it was pretty good going! I just know I am gonna keep checking the website to see what everyone else got and make myself jealous lol

I have decided to subscribe until xmas at least so that gives me 4 boxes to give me time to see how I really feel about the service and the products!

(I misplaced the info card so couldn't include a picture of that, but it just give you information on the products and codes for discounts off the full size products you get the samples of!)

Any one else subscribed to Glossy Box? What are your thoughts on it?
