Latest In Beauty Box: The Glamour Beauty Edit

Here with a review today of a non glossy beauty box for once! As soon as I seen the products in this box for such a good price I knew I had to get it!

I'm not going into detail with the products as everyone receives the same and they're pretty self-explanatory.

I was very excited about the HD Brows palette which I already own but getting a new one for free was too good to resist. I would have loved to get the lighter Bombshell palette to use on fairer eyebrows but Foxy will do for me! I also own the big benefit mascara but a baby one is always handy and will fit nicely in my handbag.

I was happy to receive the maybelline baby lips balm as I've been wanting to try that since forever! I got a lovely cherry colour which smells of cherries (duh) and leaves a very slight red tint to the lips.

I also love the brand balance me; I already own their eye cream and use it religiously. I've recently really gotten into using oils to remove my makeup so their Radiance Face Oil will certainly be getting used with its handy rollerball bottle too!

I love eyelash curlers even though I don't use them every day. The Eyeko ones in this box are very high quality with velvet handles. I've accumulated quite a few pairs from various boxes lately so I'll definitely be trying these out.

Less excited about the hair products but I was needing a new hairspray so I'll give the Toni&Guy one a go and Dry shampoo spray is always a winner as well!

Cost: £14.95 plus shipping
Value: over £60?

Verdict: A great box with a lot of my favourite products. Worth getting even just for the replenishment value of some items.

Maybelline Mono Eyeshadow in Iced Fudge

Iced Fudge, despite its name, is not very fudgy.

Colour: Instead, it is a beautiful shimmery rose-gold taupe. It can look purple in some lights and a warm brown in others. It goes on well on top of a shadow primer and lasts for hours. 

Texture: As I have found with other Maybelline eyeshadows in the past, they can tend to be slightly dusty with a lot of product dropping down onto the lower eye. Iced Fudge does have that dusty quality but with a good primer sets well.

Some people may find the shimmer in this eyeshadow overpowering, especially if they are more used to wearing matte eyeshadows. I personally like a nice shimmer but only if it has the pigmentation to back it up; thankfully, Iced Fudge has that. It blends easily into the crease but once again, a primer is a must as a dry base will only further emphasis any dustiness.

Price: I got this for £5 on eBay, bargain!

Overall, I feel that this is a very wearable colour for an every day or an evening makeup look and will compliment every eye colour!
