Decembers glossy box was one of the best I have received to date, it contained some great products!!!
An amazing lip balm that I now can't live without, a shadow that I wish I'd had when I did the Gold Flake look (I'm going to recreate soon) A razor…always useful, a lovely pink nail varnish, and an incredible exfoliant/polish!
Starting with the top left! When I first opened my box I thought this product was a lip gloss…Now unless I have my hair up I am not a fan of glosses, as my hair being long has a tendency to stick to the gloss (pet hate) But when I tried it out it in fact was a soft, neutral balm, that provided me with a lovely brown tint to my lips, the product also hydrated the lips keeping them feeling smooth. This has been one of my best friends over the Christmas Period…Its been in every bag I've taken out with me! Its a must have now on the website it does say its a gloss! But it isn't sticky like a normal gloss which is why I find it comes more into the lip balm category!

Check it out! :) xx
Now with nail varnishes I'm a shellac kind of girl…I get my nails done every three weeks, so this means polish doesn't find its way into my cosmetic regime! These products always get passed onto my sister to use, and she loved this polish! Its a great pastel pink colour, that will be great in the summer! This brand 'Seche' also boasts to be strong, resisting chipping and flaking! Their range is vast, and I'm sure in and amongst it you can find a colour to suit you!

Now this Gold Cream shadow by maybelline, would have been PERFECT when I did my Avant Garde Gold Flake look…I have said that I want to recreate the look i did, and have it professionally photographed, so we shall see, I will be using it when I get my Avant Garde on again :)
I have decanted some of this product onto my hand, and it does seem to be a great product, build able and workable, staying put until I washed my hands, and it did take a bit of a scrub to remove the product, showing it has good staying power! I will be intrigued to see if they have other colours within their range, as they would make a fab base, applying your shadow onto of the cream shadow, allowing the powder to adhere to the cream based product! :)

ANDDD they do have further colours! Woo will be investing in some of those!
Now this razor I have already tried, tested, and re- bought! Its so handy that you don't need to use shaving foam/soap as the soap is already incorporated into the Razor! It enables quick, and safe shaving to be carried out! The only downside to this razor is its size…it is quite bulky but it does incorporate your soap as well meaning you gain space back by not having to carry your shaving foam/soap around also :)
This item can be purchased from any supermarket/boots/superdrug! :)
Although I am going to be blogging about a product that I bought from the clothes show at the beginning of december that alllll you ladies/men need to purchase!

And Finally the Spa Sanctuary Polish… Now I don't know about you guys…but I sometimes get small open pores that can prove deadly and annoying when I fake tan (not often) but the tan will sit in the pores…only noticeable to yourself and those who end up being extremely close to you! But still its not ideal! This product stops that…the product information reads this 'Many women suffer from micro-bumps or a ‘chicken skin’ texture – especially on the backs of arms & thighs. This Resurface & Refine Ultra Polish uses particles up to 5 times smaller than a normal scrub, this is what makes it so effective at exfoliating & leaving skin feeling smoother & with a radiant glow.
89% of women saw a reduction in their micro-bumps & chicken skin**tested on 110 women in an independent 4 week User Trial'
Now it is quite expensive but its worth a try if you suffer from some of the symptoms mentioned above! It can be purchased from boots for £12 :)
