Glossybox the UK's new craze ???

Hey everyone

 i was on xsparkage today and i saw this thing called a birchbox so naturally i HAD to check it out and i loved the whole concept you pay $10 every month and then in the post theres a lovely package waiting there just for you.  the best bit is inside the box theres 5 luxury samples. BUT i checked the shipping and they didn't ship to the UK, feeling a bit deflated i checked around the web and saw glossybox which i suppose is the UK equivalent to birchbox but you pay £10 and it only ships to the UK .

But i do have my doubts though...................... The things that makes it unique are that you can collect 'glossypoints' which bring down the cost of your glossybox and when you have 20 glossypoints its FREE :) and its also tailored to your own self as you take a short survey thing which will help you get what you need :D

£10 a month sound cheap right but when you add it up its £120 a year which seems pricey for 5 samples every month.

 i might use it for a month and if its worthwhile i keep it but you can unsubscribe any time

What do think?
Will you be caught up in the glossybox hype or not

5 make up mistakes

1.Concealer Before Foundation-
If you're applying concealer to problem areas (pimples, spots, discolouration) before foundation, chances are that you're using more product than needed. Start with your foundation and spread it evenly. It gives some coverage and evens out things. Then add just enough concealer and blend it into your foundation. The result is more natural looking and far less likely to look caked.


2.Gloop on your lips
One layer of lip gloss—gorgeous. Four layers of gloss—ghastly. This is not the time to say, “the more the merrier.” And don’t think that the more gloss you put on, the more you’ll be kissed. Too much gloss is actually a turn off. Who wants to get stuck to all that gunk?

3.Using foundation as tan/bronzer

A foundation should always match your natural skin tone but unfortunately many women choose a foundation that is two or three shades darker than their skin tone and the result is a face that looks comically and unnatural. Most of the women think that a darker shade of a foundation will act like a bronzer and will create a summer tan but for this aim there are those specifically designed products called bronzers.

4. Clowning

Emphasizing both eyes and lips, using an intense makeup, in the same time can be a major no-no. So, if you want to bring out your eyes, try a lighter lipstick color for the lips, or, you can even try a lip gloss and if you want bright lips try a shadow that almost matches your skin tone or even no eye shadow

5. Circus - blush

we all know that blush adds a healthy touch to your look. But, when going for the bright pink color and apply it thickly without blending it the result might be quite hilarious and more circus-ish
