Nail Rock Nail Wraps.

I was really excited to receive these nail wraps in my November GlossyBox.  Although I've been tempted by some pretty cool designs, you can get anything from stars and lace to sexy animal prints, I'd never got round to purchasing a set.  The £5+ price tags from various companies was a little off putting to me.  Would they really last the 10 days being claimed?

I loved the 'Furry Cheetah' design I received and I was looking forward to an opportunity to give them a try.  The packaging is quite fantastic!  I would love to have leopard print lips like these too!  ^_^

December Beauty Boxes

December has been a very busy month but also a great month for those of us who are signed up to beauty boxes.  I have 4 fantastic boxes to share with those of you aren't yet signed up to any of these great services.

Feel Unique

This was my first box from Feel Unique.  Being the cheapest (just about at £9.95) it was interesting to see how it compared to the others.

The box is a sleek black 'drawer' type with a pull out section and shiny metallic pink writing on the top.

December contents:

Boudoir Prive November 2011

November contents:

• Dead Sea Spa Magik Silky Smooth Body Lotion - £7.70 / 350ml
• Korres Wild Rose 24 Hour Moisturiser - £19.00 / 40ml
• Rahua Voluminous Shampoo & Conditioner - £27.00 / 275ml & £28.50 / 275ml
• Vinies Ayurveda's Soul Luminous Skin Mask - £32.85 / 40g
• StudioMakeup Rich Hydration Lipstick (Truly Red) - £12.25

I felt somewhat disappointed in this box compared to the others I had received so far.  There are some decent products, which I will talk about at a later date, but there was nothing I was truly excited about.  The feeling may have been amplified by the fact that it arrived very late.  The company claimed my original box was lost in the post and from what I see on their social networking sites it is a common thing for boxes to go missing.  They were more than happy to resend a box to me and a few days after emailing their customer service team I finally got my first box from them (they even sent the second one recorded delivery to make sure it arrived safely)

Was anyone else feeling a little let down by this box?

GlossyBox October/November

I'm so behind on my reviews of these boxes.  I forget how busy it gets at work during this time of year and how much energy it uses up!  It's probably the most important time of year for me to remember to pamper myself with a bit of 'me time' and these boxes really do give me a great excuse for regular sessions.
