Glossybox Christmas Edition: 12 Days of Blogmas 5.

I always look forward to the festive edition of Glossybox, I can't believe this is the third Christmas box that Glossybox have released! 

This year the box promises a feast of festive treasures, all the things you need to be a festive belle of the ball. 

So, what's in my box? 

Beautiful Movements Cosmetics Nude Lip Gloss 

Wilkinson Sword Intuition Naturals Razor 

Maybelline New York Color Tattoo 24hr Eye Shadow in On and On Bronze

Sanctuary Spa Active Reverse Resurface & Refine Ultra Polish 

The Verdict.

Overall I'm really impressed with the festive offering from Glossybox. The star product has to be the Maybelline Color Tattoo cream eyeshadow, it's the perfect bronze shade in a dreamy formula that I'll definitely use over the holiday season. In a more practical sense I'm also really pleased with the Wilkinson Razor as I've always been a Venus girl, hopefully Wilkinson can live up to that! The Beautiful Movements Lip Gloss is a gorgeous nude shade which is the perfect antidote to a good dose of Christmas glitter.

I adore the Seche Vite polishes but the shade isn't for me, I'm sure I'll find a friend who will adore it though. Finally, I love Sanctuary Spa products so I'll look forward to trying this scrub.

It's certainly a very Merry Christmas in Glossyland!

Festive Nails: Deborah Lippmann Razzle Dazzle & OPI Bastille My Heart

If you haven't noticed, I've been loving a bit of glitter on my nails. This OPI/Deborah Lippmann combination is the perfect festive treat. 

Just stick a coat of OPI's gorgeous red shimmer on as a base coat, then slick a coat or two of Razzle Dazzle on top...then sit back and marvel at your sparkly digits. 

You may recognise Razzle Dazzle as one of Glossybox's December Box treats, I love it! More importantly, I adore this month's Glossybox. It's my favourite yet. Even trumping the HD Brows Box, and you know how much I adore that palette! 

Expect mini reviews on most of the product in the next few days, there are some corkers in there!

Christmas Sparkle: Metallic Eyes.

(l-r) Barry M Dazzle Dust in 89 Oyster, 51 Mushroom & 24 Old Gold, Illamasqua Precision Ink in Glister, 2 True Eyeliner Dazzler, Sephora Jumbo Liner in 06 Copper, Illamasqua Liquid Metal in Surge & 17 Eyeshadow in Mardi Gras.

 

 

If there was ever an excuse to go all out with your make up, surely it has to be Christmas!

I've picked out my favourite products to create some stunning eye make up looks for the festive season...

Illamasqua Liquid Metal in Surge* & Precision Ink in Glister* are the most beautiful products to add a bit of shimmer to your lids this party season, It's obvious why Illamasqua's liquid metals are so well loved, this little pot of goodness has the power to turn you into the tin man if you desire, the most metallic of metal products! 

Glister is amazing for those who don't want to go all out, how about inverting the usual black winged eyeliner and go for a smoky eye with this gorgeous champagne liner instead? 

If you prefer warmer tones, I adore Sephora's Jumbo Liner in Copper. Use is at a base and go to town with a Bronze glitter pigment, or simply just line your eyes for an understated copper eye. 

If you're looking for a treasure trove of delectable pigments, Barry M Dazzle Dusts really have it sewn up. I wouldn't look anywhere else for an affordable, but stunning range of pigments. 

My personal favourites are 51 Mushroom, 89 Oyster & 24 Old Gold. 

For a cheap glittery thrill, 2True Eyeliner Dazzlers must be applauded. At only £1.99, it's perfect for Christmas party make up. After all, I tend to stay away from glitter eyeliner unless I'm feeling festive, so what's the point of spending big money!? 

 If you want to go super subtle, try out 17's range of eyeshadow. They come in a range of colour's and won't disappoint when it comes to shimmer. My personal favourite in Mardi Gras! 

 Finally, when else would you get to put diamante dots on your face and get away with it?! You might aswell go all out, so try these by Girls with Attitude, apply with a bit of eyelash glue to ensure you don't lose them on the dancefloor, sorted! 

What sort of make up will you be sporting this Christmas? 

Would you like to see some looks using these products?
