November Glossybox

I don't often do a blog post on Glossybox, usually because the blogosphere is awash with posts and I'm generally too lazy! But hey-ho thought I'd share with you what I received this month.

I am sure you all know everything there is to know about Glossybox and if I talked about them it would be like teaching your Grandmother to suck eggs, but if you don't know about them you can read more here.

So the rundown on November's box:

• Vichy Idealia Life Serum 
• Emite micronized Eyeshadow in Nect
• Yves Rocher Cocoa & Pistachio Nut hand cream
• Elegant Touch Rapid Dry for Nails
• B. Complete long lasting nail polish in Matador

I've only tried the Emite eyeshadow so far.

 

This is a really pretty soft shimmery ivory. It lasts well and the colour payoff is good. Would say it rivals my eyeshadow favourites Mac but at £16.80 a pop they are a tad more expensive so don't think I will be swapping over. I have heard of Emite before as I had a set of their eyelash curlers in a previous Glossybox and were very impressed with them.

I'm looking forward to trying the Elegant Touch Rapid Dry; as anything which dries my nails faster is a bonus and I remember my Mum using something simliar when I was a kid and she swore by it, so we'll see.

I'm loving red polish this season so was really pleased with the colour polish that I got and can't wait to try it out.

So do you subscribe to Glossybox?

What do you think of this months box? 

Ladies, I need your Mac help!!!

Ladies, I need your help!!!  I'm about to put an order into Mac for a few bits and pieces and whilst I am there I thought I would get two more eyeshadows to complete my palette and I just don't know which to choose (insert whinny voice here!).  I guess you're wondering "why doesn't see just go into her nearest Mac store and choose something?".  Well ladies my nearest Mac is about an hours drive away, right in the centre of a big town and quite frankly I just can't be bothered.  Lazy I know but hey.

This is what I have so far, please excuse the grimy interior of my Mac pallette, disgusting I know but it does get (ab)used on a daily basis.

Top row L to R - Vanilla, Shroom, Kid, Wood-winked, Satin Taupe

Middle row L to R - Naked Lunch, Omega, Amber Lights, Stars 'n' Rockets, Fig. 1

Bottom row L to R - Sumptious Olive, Copperplate, Carbon

As you can see, oh God I'm going to say those two little words - HIT PAN  - with Vanilla and Omega, I love these two and they feature regularly in my day to day face so will re-order but what on earth should I get to fill those two lonely little spaces?

I am considering possibly Filament, Electra, Silver Ring or Knight Divine, but am not sure which to go for, if any of the ones I've mentioned above, so your help is desperately needed and greatly appreciated!

Just for info, I am fair skinned with blonde (natural of course!) hair and dark blue eyes.

So what do you think I should go for, what colours can't you live without and why?
