November Glossybox

Yay I received my Glossybox for the month of November this week. I was super excited about it and I am not disappointed. The "theme" for this month is "Elegant Classics" and all of the products felt very luxurious and the packaging of the product is very pretty (and elegant haha).

Here is what I got:

 A test perfume from Hugo Boss (it smells sooooo good), a blush from Nicka K New York (8,95 Euro for 5 g), a nail polish from Teeez in the colour "Pearl Nova" (13,00 Euro for 7 ml), a lipstick by Bellápierre Cosmetics in the colour "Mandarina" (19,99 Euro for 3,5 g), styling mousse from Style Design (17,35 Euro for 300 ml, in the box it was 50 ml) and lastly an eye pencil from Lollipops Paris in black. I think it is called "Goodbye Moon" (14,00 Euro for 14 cm)

 Here are swatches of the blush (to the left) and the lipstick (to the right)
The nail polish looks so nice. It has gold flakes or gold glitter in it and it is perfect for autumn and winter. I will definitely try this out soon. 

I am the most excited about the lipstick, nail polish and the blush.

I am the least excited about the styling mousse because I never use it. Maybe I should try it sometime and see how I like it. I love the perfume and think it fits really good to me. The eye pencil isn't really so exciting but I will definitly try it out to see how easy it is to apply and how long it lasts.

Makeup Revolution Haul and Swatches

I found out about the brand Makeup Revolution on Instagram. I started following them and went on their online page (makeuprevolutionstore.com) and wanted to order EVERYTHING. It is so cheap and I watched youtube videos and read other people's comments about the products and everyone said how great and of a good quality it is. I made an order of some of the things and I really want to order there soon haha. I paid over Paypal and about 8-9 days after I made the order I received it. At first I was very worried because I had not gotten a confirmation email so I contacted them on their website and on their instagram but didn't receive an answer. I was worried that my order didn't go through and that I would have to reorder everything but I didn't which made me super happy haha :)

 My entire order
I ordered the "Flawless" palette and the packaging is so nice. It even shows the colours in the back.
 I LOVE that the colours in the palette have names. It makes it all so much better haha. It also have a really big mirror which is very nice.
 I also ordered the "Iconic 3" palette which is basically an exact dupe for the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette. The colours look almost identical. Makeup Revolution also makes "Iconic 1 and 2" which are dupes for Naked 1 and 2. The blue dots on the picture are the colours I've used to swatch.

 This is the "Iconic 3" palette
And the "Flawless" palette

I LOVE both palettes so much. They are super pigmented and the colours are so beautiful. I will bring the "Flawless" palette with me when I travel somewhere because it's got so many different beautiful colours and a very nice big mirror. It is also quite neat and not heavy so it barely takes any space. I have so many favourites in both palettes and I will get so much use out of both of them. The quality is amazing and the eyeshadows feel "buttery" and very nice to apply and not so "powdery". 

 From left to right: Etiquette, Cautious, Dynamic and Rivalry

I also bought four pigment. I mean, they cost about 1 euro each(!!). I have already decided that next time I make my order (there will be a next time for sure) I will buy more of these. They are SO pigmented and so nice to apply. Also I think it's a great amount that you get since with pigments you don't need to use that much product either so that's just amazing. I am so in love with all colours and will use them soon. The green is just so amazing, I mean look at it. It got gold shimmer in it, I can't get over how gorgeous it is. 

From left to right: The one, Mystify, Flashing, Reckless, Make Me Tonight and 100% Vamp

"The one" has been so talked about on Youtube and instagram and it looks so nice. They all feel amazing and not drying at all. I especially love The One, Mystify and 100% Vamp. I have to say something about the packaging as well. I think it looks so nice. I have all of them on my lipstick stand in my room and I love that the lids have the colours of the actual lipstick on them so it is so easy to see which colours I have and such. These lipsticks also costs about 1 Euro which is a bargain!! I love them :)
The last thing I got was the Makeup revolution Pro fix which is a setting spray. On the back it says "Makeup Revolution amazing setting spray is a lightweight setting spray that helps keep foundation and eye makeup in place with no smudging or fading for that just-applied look lasting up to 12 hours."

I have tried this product for when I went to my german course and I let my makeup stay on until the evening. It definitely helps to keep my makeup on my face and it doesn't make it fade away. It feels very nice on my face and dries very fast after applying it. It is definitely a product I really really like so far. I want to test it more for when I am going to parties and such to see how it lasts then. 
Makeup Revolution is definitely one of my favourite brand right now (if not even favourite). It is cheap, have amazing quality and a wide range of  makeup and products. I will definitely make an order again sometime soon. 

Have you gotten anything from Makeup Revolution yet? What do you think?

NOTD Essie- In Stitches

I LOVE accent nails, especially on the ringfinger haha. I think it looks super nice. I also really loved this combination and this time it's a bit more "autumny" nail polishes than the last week haha.



I am wearing Essie- In Stitches (an autumn favourite of mine) and OPI- All Sparkly And Gold

Love this combination. It kinda feels like a Christmas manicure. But maybe that's just because I wore the OPI polish on Christmas last year haha. What I really like about the OPI nail polish is that it is completely opaque in 2 coats. I just really like it that I can wear it on it's own. Also In Stitches is opaque in 2 coats and it's one of my favourite autumn and winter nail polish!

My Previous Glossybox

In about a week my new Glossybox will arrive and therefore I decided to let you know how I liked the previous one, which products I've used, which products I've used the most and so on.


What I haven't used: The face mask

The Body Shop Vanilla Brulee Body Butter: I really likeThe body shop and was happy to get one of their holiday scents in a body butter. However, I didn't really like the scent unfortunately. I usually like more sweet and fruity scents or spicy scents so vanilla for me isn't really a favourite. Also I don't like how it takes super log for it to sink into my skin. I do like it that it is moisturising WHEN it has sunk in though and that's what's for me the best about this product. 

Model Co More Brows: I have only tested this product because the colour is too dark for me. It is for "medium/dark" and because I'm blonde, that doesn't really fit in. I liked that it was easy to apply, didn't feel "heavy" or like I had much product on my brows and I liked that it was natural looking and not like I had glue or anything on my brows. I probably won't use this again though since it is the wrong colour for me. 

Nails Inc Matte Nail Polish: This is probably a favourite that I received in my Glossybox. I loved that it is the full size and I'm even wearing it right now on top of a dark red polish and I absolutely love it. I love matte nail polish for fall, especially over darker colours. This polish was very easy to apply and only with one coat it looks super matte. The brush is great, it's not too big nor too small so the product is easy to apply on to the nail. 

Love Me Green Face Peeling: I've used this peeling once a week and find it very good. I love the gel formula because it makes it easy to remove with water and it doesn't stick on to my face so it goes very fast to remove it. It also leave my skin feeling very smooth afterwards which is always a very nice feeling. I don't really like the scent of it but for me that's not such a big deal. 

Original Source Raspberry and Vanilla Shower gel: This scent is soooooo good. I love how sweet it smells and the scent smells more like raspberries with a small hint of vanilla. It leathers up very nicely in the shower but I don't like that the scent disappear very fast after showering. I wish I could smell like that all the time haha. I wasn't too happy about getting a shower gel in my glossy box just because it doesn't feel so "special". But overall I like it.

P2- Little Princess NOTD

What I have on my nails today is not really something "Autumny" while it is very pink and is probably more suitable for spring or summer. I like it anyway though and find it very pretty and I don't really care that it's not the typical autumn manicure.


I am wearing P2- 010 Little Princess and Catrice- 04 Oyster & Champagne

I love this combination. I think it looks so sweet and pretty although I am a little bit disapointed that the glitter of "Oyster & Champagne" didn't show as much as I wanted it to. The P2 polish is one of my favourites and I love this kind of pink. I am not really a hot pink fan but I absolutely love pastell and lighter pinks. This nail polish also covers on 1 layer which I love, but I always use at least 2 coats anyways haha.

The glitter polish from Catrice is not opaque and I think I am wearing 2 coats of it. I love it a lot but you need a lot of top coat to make it feel smooth.

Glossybox Storage

I really love how the Glossybox looks like. It's so pink and girly and looks so pretty, even on the inside so I really want to save all of my gloddyboxes after removing all the products that's in them when I get them. My very first Glossybox I decided to put on my desk where I have my computer and put some jewelry in there, and I really like the way it looks.


I even keep the box open because I love the inside and it looks so nice to actually see the jewelry and then I also use them more than if I would put the lid over. I just have to start thinking about what to put in my next Glossyboxes haha. But this is a great way to store away some nice jewelry that you like to wear on a daily basis AND keep the Glossybox meanwhile. I mean, who wants to throw these beautiful and practical boxes away?
