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

Rimmel stay glossy

Rimmel stay glossy lip gloss in 'all night long'


GOOD THINGS........ shiny and glossy and very pigmented :)
BAD THINGS........... Doesn't last very long :(


Packaging..........
The lip gloss comes in a 5.5ml clear  tube with a  large silver screw top handle. The handle is a good size to aid in the application of the gloss and it also has a  indented area for you to put your finger and thumb in the area, again  good for applying it as many lip glosses have very flimsy applicators.

The applicator is spongy, starting off at the top quite thick, going downwards into a flatter section at the tip.

What they claim......

Style. Shape. Shine. Stay Glossy delivers on all three with a fantastic new formula and applicator combo, custom-designed for fabulously luscious lips that last, and last, and last.Stay Glossy delivers on all three with a fantastic new formula and applicator combo, custom-designed for fabulously luscious lips that last, and last, and last

The lip gloss..........

I really like this gloss! I like the colour, it’s an intense maroon-ish red but it's actually quite wearable, and nicely glossy and plumping. It was £5.99 which I think is expensive for a Rimmel lip gloss but then I guess high street  make up is going up in price generally

Urban decay primer potion VS Too faced shadow insurance

In a time before dinosaurs,cavemen and the IPhone 4 came 2 primers ( Urban decay primer potion & Too faced shadow insurance) constantly battling to be the best but which one REALLY is.......................................

Cost...........


UDPP & TFSI is £12.00 (sources from Boots)


The (Basic) differences..........

TFSI  is creamier & thicker .   

UDPP is silky & more watery. Sheer & nude.

UDPP..........

Light weight and very smooth when applied
The color it this light beige but when applied to the lids and blended it becomes translucent
Hold: No creasing, fading, or smears

TFSI..........

 This one has more than the Urban Decay
When applied its a bit sticky Hold: No creasing, fading, or smears

The best......................

ITs (almost) a draw !!!!!!!

In my opinion the Primer Potion would be better for people with oily eyelids. Also Urban Decay has bought out a new bendy application brush to help you get more out of it as everyone remembers the pain of cutting of the old bottles, which is pretty handy! Too Faced Shadow Insurance comes in a squeezy tube making it a doddle to get the product out and you get extra product.
