So this I was actually meant to cancel my Glossybox subscription but I forgot yet again. I've been meaning to cancel my subscription for a while now but I just don't remember in time!
Anyway, here are the goodies I received in my september Glossybox...
1. Skin Pep Peeling Gel - This little treatment it supposed to leave your skin feeling soft and exfoliated. I don't really take as much care of my face as I should so I'm looking forward to trying this out, although I am a bit disappointed its only sample size.
2. ModelCo More Brows Fibre Gel - I'm one of those girls who never bothers with her eyebrows. I know I should look after them a bit more but plucking them every once in a while is fine for me. I am excited to try something new however, I'm just hoping its not too dark for me.
3. Nivea 3 in 1 Micellar Cleansing Water - I'm so happy I was sent this and in full size as well! I really don't cleanse my skin as much as I should. I hardly ever take my makeup off before bed and its a bad habit I need to break. I've got high hopes for this product and I will deffo be doing a review of it!
4. Skin Pep Eye Cream - This little Skin Pep sample is meant to help get rid of those annoying dark circles. I unfortunately suffer quite badly with dark circles under my eyes so I'm excited to try this product out, although again I'm disappointed its only sample size.
5. Nails Inc Westminster Bridge Matte Top Coat - I so can't wait to try this beauty out! I don't own any matte nail varnishes and I've never used any before so I'm excited to give it a go. I'm really happy it's a clear top coat too so I can try it over any of my favorite colours.
6. L'Oreal Professional Mythic Oil - I have a confession. I couldn't wait to try this out and I used it virtually straight after opening the box. I love L'Oreal products and although some can be a bit pricey they always seem to be worth it. I've used this oil a couple times on my hair and I really like it so far.
Keep a look out of my reviews of these products in the next few weeks!
Have you tried out a beauty subscription box? Do you think they're worth it?

So as you guys might know, me and Sean ran away to Turkey for the week. I've been back a couple weeks now and I've finally got around to sorting the photos for this post. Going on holiday and exploring a new place is my favorite thing to do, and I've been loving blogging about my holidays when I get home!
Here's what we got up to the the beautiful Turkish town of Bodrum...

At the top of Bodrum Castle
We spent the first two days walking around Bodrum and getting to know what was where. We also spent a bit of time on the beach although I wouldn't say Bodrum beach is all that special.
On the third day we'd pretty much knew our way around so we decided to take a trip to Bodrum Castle. Seriously if you are ever in that area you have to make a trip there. The entrance free is 25TL with is about £7 and it's so so worth it! The views from the top are amazing and the Castle itself is beautiful. There's so much history in Bodrum, and I really enjoyed wandering around the castle reading about it. It's definitely a must see in my opinion.

Day four started very early. We'd booked a trip to Dalyan and were being picked up at 7 am. I had gone to Dalyan in May with my parents but I enjoyed it so much I convinced Sean to take me back and I think he really enjoyed it too. When we got to Dalyan, after a very long coach journey, we went straight to the mud baths. Nothing makes my skin feel as soft as those mud baths and even though it's a bit gross and messy it's really good fun.
After we'd finished there we headed for dinner then set off for a cruise down the river where we would eventually arrive at Iztuzu Beach. Iztuzu beach or Turtle beach is the most beautiful beach I've ever been to. Both times I've been I've been lucky enough to see sea turtles. After an hour or so on the beach it was time to head home for an early night.

Eating Ice Cream in Yalikavak
On the fifth day we took a bus to a little town called Yalikavak. I stayed here about two years ago and I just wanted to take Sean there. We also sneaked into the hotel I stayed in because I wanted to show Sean how amazing it was. It was the first 5* I'd ever stayed in and I wish I could go back! After we got the bus back to bodrum we tried to find the ruins of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus but when we got there it was closed.
Day 6 was another early start but well worth it. We took the boat over to Kos, one of the Greek islands. I'd been here before as well but it was such a good day out I had to go again. We spent pretty much all day walking around Greek ruins and doing a bit of shopping. I picked up some pretty little Greek slippers which i've been wearing every night since!

On our last day we booked a boat trip with a local tour company. Sean really wanted to go on a boat trip and we booked a super cheap one for £8, so I wasn't expecting much from it. But this was probably the best day we had.
A few days earlier me and Sean bought a pair of goggles each and I'm so glad we did. We stopped off at 5 different places where we could jump in the water and swim around. The water was so so clear and I spent most of the time trying to take photos of the fish swimming around me. We were even lucky enough to see a octopus only a few feet below us. Overall it was a fantastic day and I hope we can go on a similar boat trip again sometime.
We had an amazing week away and I'm really gutted to be back. I hope you all enjoyed my photos and reading about what we did. Hopefully I'll be jetting off again in the next few months and I'll be able to do more posts like this!
Thanks for reading!

So here is the August Glossybox. This months box celebrated the 3 year anniversary of the Glossybox and I have to admit I was slightly disappointed. The box itself has been swapped for a slightly smaller and cheaper looking one but that wasn't a big issue, however considering this is an anniversary box I thought they might have gone all out with the products.
Although I did expect more from this months box I'm still looking forward to trying out all my new products.
So here's what I got in my August Glossybox...
1. Lalique L'Amour - I'm one of those girls who has her favorite perfumes she always sticks to but I actually really like this one. I've never heard of this brand before but I'm looking forward to using this little sample. I tested it when I first got the box and it smelt lovely, although I probably won't be buying a the full product just yet as its a little pricey for me.
2. Yves Rocher Pink Nail Polish - When I first opened the box I was happy to see this little pink nail varnish. Although I was slightly disappointed at the size, I love the shade and I'm tempted to paint my nails with it for my holiday next week. I will definitely be doing a review of this, so keep a lookout!
3. Essence Longlasting Lipstick in #7 Natural Beauty - When I saw I had a lipstick it this months box I was a little apprehensive as I had received one before that didn't suit me at all. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised when I took the lid off. It's a lovely subtle shade that will be perfect for everyday use. Although I haven't tried it yet, it's not too different from the shades I usually use so I'm excited to try it.
4. Philip Kingsley Elasticizer - I'm really really excited to try this out. I always love trying out new hair products and I cant wait to give this one a go. It was originally created for Audrey Hepburn and its meant to give your hair more bounce and shine. Here's hoping it makes my hair happy.
5. Kryolan Highlighter Cashmere - I was sent a highlighter a few boxes back and I love it. It will take a lot for this highlighter to even come close to my current one but either way I'll give it a go.
6. Figs & Rouge Mini Hand Cream - I'm slightly apprehensive about trying this one out. I have quite bad eczema and I have to be very careful with what I put on my skin. Although I usually use prescription creams on my hands I'm still going to try it and see how it goes.
So that is what I received in my August Glossybox! I'll be reviewing these products in the next few so keep a lookout!
Thanks for reading!

For my birthday Sean bought me three lovely Bourjois eye shadows, in pink, purple and gold. I don't think I'd ever used any of the Bourjois eyeshadows before so it was nice to try out a new brand! Today I'm going to review my favorite of the three Bourjois eyeshadows - the gold one.
I've been using this eyeshadow most days since I got it and I'm absolutely in love with it. It is a really really sparkly girly eyeshadow and its just perfect for me. I thought It would be more vivid than it is and I was slightly disappointed when I first tried it, But after using it a few times I decided I preferred it being less obvious as I could wear it every day. I usually just brush it lightly over my eyelids for a really faint sparkle but for nights out I brush it over a plain gold eye shadow for a really glittery effect.
One of the things I love about this eye shadow is the mirror in the lid. This is the only eye shadow (apart from my pallets) I own with a mirror in it and that's great for when I'm out and about. I'm not sure why other brands haven't added a mirror into any of the eyeshadow singles because it looks nice and it's super useful too!
I don't know how much the Bourjois eyeshadow singles are as they were a gift but I would say they are worth investing in as they are a staple product in your make-up bag.
Overall I really enjoyed using this product and would give it a 7/10
Have you tried out any of the Bourjois eyeshadow singles? What did you think of them?
Thanks for reading!
