GlossyBox October Edition

Hi everyone, hope everyone is doing well and I would like to thank you for reading my blog. Today's blog will be about this month's Glossybox. I only got 4 products this time but I am quite happy with the sizes of the products.





Starting off with Anatomicals, it is a body scrub and has a nice scent of grapefruit. I got 75ml of the product and is probably the size of a standard hand cream tube. The original size is 200ml for £3.49.



This is the first time I've seen colour in the packaging of Dermalogica's products. This is a 3 step day and night kit; cleanse, tone and moisture. The cleanser is a foaming wash that intends to clear away dead skin cells and excess oil. The toner is the one in the middle, you spray the product directly onto the face and neck. The moisturiser contains SPF 15 which is a must-have feature for me. I think this is the actual size of the product and it is £12 per kit. That's the price I pay for each month's subscription for Glossy Box! So worth the money.



Skinetica is a solution to clear acne, spots, pimples and blemishes where apparently results can be seen in 2-3 days. But the instructions isn't very clear. It says 'Remove any make-up and moisturisers etc. Apply with a cotton pad..' Well I assume it means remove any make up or moisturiser when applying it but it would be clearer if it said, 'Apply on clean face', or 'apply on cleansed and toned face'.  Anyways, its 100ml for £6.99



And finally, Yves Rocher France moisturising cream lipstick. A rosy red. I always love the look of new and unused lipstick because it looks so smooth. I probably won't use it since I don't wear lipstick. Its quite pricey, £14.50.

Cheap beauty products from Poundworld

Hi everyone, thanks for reading my blog. It's been a while again. I went Poundworld the other day and discovered a few interesting products; they were copies of popular brands.

Anyone used or heard of Pedegg? Does this look familiar?
The one on the left is the real one.

Have you heard of the beauty brand Philosophy? Here in Poundworld they have, Possibility. Lol 




Below is Neutrogena Wave Duo, a face brush. The copy looks almost identical to the real one except its called 'timesbeauty', its double not duo and its purple. Lol! The instructions are the same but with a different model.



Neutrogena Wave Duo £9.99 but Poundworld version is only £1.99 

I think this Florida Sun cream is suppose to be a copy of Hawaiian Tropic sun tan oil. 


Also found a copy of St. Tropez self tanning product but in Poundworld they call it St.Moriz and its only £2.99.



I'm not sure if this perfume is suppose to be a copy of Victoria Beckham's brand, it's got VB on it. But VB here stands for Virtual Brand.



Found another interesting product, BB Cream for £1.99 by Pure, cheapest BB Cream ever.
