Another month, another Glossybox subscription. This is the January box and the last one I will be writing about as I've decided to cancel my subscription. Over the last few months I have received some wonderful products but I as money's been quite tight it was time to cancel. I've written a little piece on beauty box subscriptions and if they are worth it, you can read that here.
So this is what I received in my January Glossybox...
1. Kueshi Cosmetics Revitalizing Face Toner - So I've used this a few times now and I can't even begin to explain how much I love it. It smells amazing and makes your skin feel so soft. I'd never heard of this brand before but I would love to try out other products from their range.
2. Jelly Pong Pong All Over Glow - Another highlighter. I don't know how many the people at Glossybox think I need but this is the third. I don't use highlighters very often and I probably won't use this one. Although it does look like a good quality product it will more than likely end up on eBay.
3. Me Me Me Eye Liner Pencil in Clay - I've used a couple of products from Me Me Me before and I've always been impressed. I'm looking forward to trying out this eye liner as it's not a colour I would usually pick and it will be nice to use something different.
4. Naked Lips Organic Lip Balm Superfruits - I love lip balm, I wear it every day and I am always welcoming new ones into my collection. I've never heard of Naked Lips before but I'm excited to try this out as my lips have been super dry lately. This lip balm is made from all natural ingredients which is always a bonus with beauty products.
5. Nicka K New York Colorluxe Powder Blush - I never really use blush, I have quite naturally red cheeks and I've never needed it. I'm starting to get more confident with using blushers and bronzers lately but I really don't think this product is for me. This blush comes in a cute little pot with a mirror on the top and I'm sure my sister will get plenty of use out of it, I'll let you know what she thinks!
So that was my January Glossybox. This is the last Glossybox I will be writing about but don't worry I have lots of product reviews lined up for the next few weeks!
I've love to know what you guys thought of think months box, let me know on the comments or over on twitter!
Thanks for reading!

You'd be lying if you said beauty boxes haven't taken the blogging world by storm. These little boxes have been showing up everywhere and with their popularity only growing, more of us beauty lovers are wondering if they are really worth it.
I've had a GlossyBox Subscription for just under a year and I have received many amazing products, some that I'd never even heard of before. I decided to sign up to a beauty box subscription as I wanted to try out new products and I have discovered so many things that I wouldn't have tried or would have completely dismissed in the first place as they were out of my price range.
Although it it great to be sent new beauty products each month, it can get a little bit pricey. A Glossy Box is £10 plus £3 postage which is amazing considering the selection of products you receive but what if you won't use them? There's no denying you get a lot for your money but it is very easy to end up with boxes of products you will never use.
For people who know exactly what products they want, a subscription box would be a waste of money as you're never guaranteed a certain type of product. I often find myself with products I'll never use so I always giveaway the unopened products to my sister or to friends, I feel less wasteful that way. But surely the point of buying yourself a subscription box is so you try out new products yourself, not to dish them out to everyone else.
The biggest negative I have found is that as you never know what you will receive you can end up with a lot of the same products. I recently cancelled my Glossybox for several reasons, the main one being that I had been subscribed for so long that I was starting to receive extremely similar products. Over the year I had been given 3 highlighters, which is great for someone who regularly use them but I'm still getting through the first one.
The aim of this piece isn't to bad mouth beauty boxes, after all they are a good idea and a nice surprise every month. I had come to the point where I was bored with them and I didn't feel like I was getting a bargain anymore. For people who want to grow their beauty product collection they are great but for me they just aren't worth it

So I finally got around to taking some outfit photos! I've been meaning to do an outfit post for ages now, I haven't done one since April and they are one of my favorite things to do on my blog. Whenever I have time to shoot some fun outfits it either poors it down or I just don't have the energy, typical really! But I do love playing dress up and putting cute outfits together so I've hoping to feature this kind of content a lot more on the blog!
This is just a casual outfit I would wear out to dinner or on a date night with Sean. I actually wore this outfit a few nights ago to go to the academy in Birmingham. I nipped into town to catch Box Of Light play and thought this was the perfect gig outfit.
I've gotten really into kimonos lately, I think they are just so easy to wear and jazz up a boring outfit. I don't know where this sudden obsession with kimonos has come from but I'm kind of loving it and I'm slowly filling up my tiny wardrobe with all kinds of beautiful kimonos. I'm not looking to stop buying them anytime soon either!
Pink Velvet Kimono Asos £14 | Acid Wash Jeans Asos £28 | Black Scalloped Top Topshop £16 | heeled Boots Clothes Show £25 | Fake Chain Necklace Miss Selfridge £5
Although I am loving this pink kimono, the boots are probably my favorite thing out this whole outfit. I bought the boots at the clothes show last year and I've been wearing them pretty much none stop. I love the heal which isn't too high but still gives me a lift and the gold chain around the back of the boots is a fantastic details I've not seen on any other boots before. I've sure I'll wear these bad boys until the death!
I've love to hear your thoughts on this outfit and if you'd like to see more outfit inspiration on my blog!

A couple of days before Christmas me and Sean popped into Topshop. I was on the hunt for a new lipstick. I've seen a few good reviews about Topshop lipsticks and I had found the exact shade I wanted online. After searching through the lipsticks I found the one I had been looking at; the colour was 'boardroom' and it was awful. It didn't look anything like the shade shown online and it wasn't going to suit me at all.
Determined not to leave empty handed I looked through the lipsticks again until I found a gorgeous pink/ almost purple colour. It wasn't I colour I owned and I knew I had to have it.
Topshop Lipstick in shade Armour
The lipstick was £8 which I thought was quite reasonable considering most of my lipsticks are over £10.
I first wore it a couple of days later and fell completely in love with it. The lipstick applied really nicely; going on evenly and creating a really vivid colour on my lips.

One of the nice things about Topshop products is their appearance. When purchasing new makeup you want it to look nice on your dressing table and in your makeup bag. A lot of cheaper lipsticks come in boring packaging and the product itself can look pretty standard. This isn't the case with Topshop lipsticks as the come in a little box and the casing around the lipstick is white with black stripes which looks cute in the lipstick holder.
Wearing the Topshop lipstick on my lips
By far my favorite things about this product is the colour. It's a beautiful glossy pink/ purple that is just so versatile. I've literally been wearing it everywhere and I can definitely see myself wearing it for a long time.
My only complaint about this product is that its quite dry. I wouldn't wear this lipstick on dry lips as it would make them look much worse. This isn't a major issue though and it is easily solved by applying a small amount of Vaseline over the top.
All in all I'm very happy with the lipstick. The price is good, the colour is just amazing and it smells really good too, so for those reasons I would give it a 9/10
Have you tried any of the Topshop lipsticks or any of the Topshop beauty range?
