Bzz Agent Campaign: Introduction to the Foreo Luna Mini

Yesterday, I finally got asked to take part in another Bzz Agent campaign and I'm so excited about this one! Obviously I only accepted yesterday and so haven't actually received my kit yet but I thought I'd look a bit more into the product. Firstly, I checked out what it actually looked like, so here's a picture I found.

I think the design looks really user friendly and not too complicated. Reading more into the design of this product, I found that it boasts a three-zone design which is suitable for all skin types. It is also fully waterproof, which sounds amazing. There's nothing worse than using a product, knowing you're going to have to clean it or use it with water, to realise that you're not meant to actually get it wet. The actual brush part of the Luna Mini is made from silicone, which is supposedly more gentle on the skin than regular cleansing brushes. The silicone also means that no bacteria is built up, and so is pretty hygienic.

The Foreo website promises that the Luna Mini will result in clearer, brighter and healthier looking skin. It uses T-Sonic technology and channels transdermal sonic pulsations across the skin, and apparently after just three days I should notice a difference in the condition of my skin.

The Foreo Luna Mini even comes in five different colours; Petal Pink, Turquoise Blue, Magenta, Purple and Cool Grey. I just hope this product lives up to the claims made about it. I was going to buy the No7 (clarisonic-like) cleansing brush but as soon as this campaign was offered to me, I jumped at the chance! I seriously cannot wait for this to come in the post. I will do an update once I've been using it for a week or so to let you all know what it's like.

Glossybox September 2013, Operning and First Thoughts

Yay it's Glossybox time!! I was so excited when I saw the box spoiler this month, it looked amazing and didn't disappoint when it arrived. It's definitely becoming a 'thing' with Glossybox, that the special boxes contain much better products.

 

This month's Glossybox theme is 'The London Edition', and the box has a brilliant Union Jack design. This box also came with the new GB magazine which is a really lovely addition to Glossyboxes. My box was filled with the best goodies I think I've ever received in a box!

 

Product One: Elizabeth Arden Untold £48 for 50ml (5ml sample size worth £4.80)

This is a brilliant sample size to get in a Glossybox, and the bottle is really cute and pretty as well. If only it had a spray, but you can't have everything I suppose. The scent smells quite floral and I did try it out today. I'm not too impressed with the lasting power, I seemed to stop smelling it after an hour or so. Not sure if I would buy this again but I was a bit frugal with how much I used.

 

Product Two: Eylure Pre-Glued Lashes Full size worth £5.06

I was happy to see these in my box, even though I'm not usually a fan of lashes I'm willing to try out different brands and types to see if some work better than others. So far I've not had much luck but I'll definitely give them a go!

 

Product Three: Toni&Guy Hair Meet Wardrobe Classic Shine & Gloss Serum Full size worth £7.19

The limited edition packaging of this product is gorgeous! I love the colours and I think they're perfect for this time of year. I haven't tried the serum yet but I do use serum at home. At the moment I use one from Aussie which is a little bit cheaper that this one, but if the results are good then I don't mind paying a bit extra.

 

Product Four: Be A Bombshell Cosmetics Onyx Eye Liner Full size $14

This was the product which made me extra excited this month! I've been thinking of trying a liquid liner with marker like nib for a while now, so this came at exactly the right time. I immediately tried it out on the back of my hand and loved how easily it glided on and how I was able to create thick or thin lines. It isn't a waterproof product but without water it will not budge. However, when I did my makeup this morning, I really struggled to get any product out. It might be because I'm just not used to the application or because I had makeup on my eyes already for it to layer over. I'm definitely going to keep practicing with this product though because I just really want it to work and be amazing.

 

Product Five: Dr Lipp Original Nipple Balm for Lips £11.50 for 15ml (3ml sample size worth £2.30)

I had heard of this product before but was always a bit unsure about it. Why keep calling it a nipple balm if it's really a lip balm/multi-purpose balm? I couldn't even bring myself to tell my mum it's actual name. However, this balm is said to be brilliant for almost anything from lips and eczema to even helping to treat burns. If it's as much of a miracle as it sounds, I would definitely look into buying this again.

 



 

So that's it for this month. My box in total was worth £28.20! I am completely in love with my box this time around and will definitely be getting more in the future. I have earned a free Glossybox by saving my Glossydots but as next month is likely to be a not so good box, I may wait until the November box to order again. Until next time!

New Look Wish List: Autumn 2013

So, because I've decided to book a big holiday for the start of next year, I'm living on a budget. My decision to start writing these posts came from my addiction to online shopping, but not being able to buy everything (sigh). Hopefully, by searching for lovely clothes and being able to share them with everyone, it will lessen my need to purchase.

 

 

1. Checked Shirt, £17.99 - a classic but reinvented, this year with different colour schemes (more tartan inspired) and sleeveless. Previously checked shirts have been worn as a kind of 'throw-over' but this year they're worn as a 'traditional' shirt. I can imagine this one with leggings or denim shorts for the daytime but it could be dressed up tucked into a black pleather skater skirt or disco pants.

 

 

2. Hair Bows, £3.99 - gorgeous and simple bows to wear in your hair. I love bows on anything but I especially love these for a little cute detail. They're especially good for hiding hairpins when your hair is in a bun. I've got 9 of these bows already, and I'm addicted!

 

 

3. Bobble Hat, £7.99 - Now the colder weather is on its way, yet again we are forced to bring out our warmer clothes. A beanie like this is perfect for keeping your head warm but looking stylish as well, they're a staple for winter style (and help to hide those bad hair days too!).

 

 

4. Limited Edition Cut Out Boots, £69.99 - The most expensive thing on my list, and SHOCKER, my favourite item! I desperately need these shoes in my wardrobe, just hope they're still available when my student loan comes through! Sensible yet stylish footwear perfect for the coming winter weather.

 

 

5. Structured Pocket Dress, £32 - Yellow is a colour I wouldn't usually go for, but this dress is absolutely stunning. The structure of it is so different to the dresses I've seen recently and looks so flattering! I suffer from having a 'boyish' figure, so the silhouette of this would help give me a few curves. I think I'd pair this with some killer red shoes and a bold clutch.

 

 

 

 

6. Pinafore Dress £19.99 - This is absolutely perfect for the 'dungaree' kind of trend that's going on at the moment, for people who want to work it a bit differently. New Look are also selling a white shirt with black hearts on at the moment which would look amazing with this dress! Summer may be coming to an end but this could look brilliant with a pair of chunky black tights and a pair of black boots.

 

 

 

 

7. Boyfriend Cardigan, £22.99 - A bit steep for a cardigan I'd say but if the cardigan is as cosy as it looks in this picture I'm all for it. There's a lot of cardigans out there at the moment but I've not seen any which caught my eye quite as much as this one did. The perfect shade of cream with big brown buttons, perfects for autumn.

 

 

 

8. Roll-sleeve Burgundy Blazer, £24.99 - This colour is so gorgeous and I think it makes everything look so much more flattering. Blazers are perfect to wear with almost any outfit, dress up jeans or pair with a pair of printed trousers to go out at night. Don't ever buy a blazer if it doesn't fit you perfectly. An often tedious rule but an important one.

 

9. Teal Slouch Bag, £24.99 - Everything about this bag screams PERFECT for summer to autumn transitions. It will go with your bright summery clothing to those new, dark florals that we're seeing in shop windows! And what's better than a bag with both handles and a shoulder strap? That chain might hurt after a while though. No pain, no gain right?

 

10. Tapestry Print Bangles, £6.99 - What girl can't go without some pretty accessories. What more is there to say?
