October 2014 Glossybox - Andy Warhol Inspired Pop Art Collector's Edition Box

Ooh I absolutely love the print on this month's GlossyBox! The Andy Warhol Pop Art design is so apt for a beauty blogger and is bright and cheery for this dreary October ... I will have no problems recycling this after I have used the contents.

As ever though, the outer is very nice but do the contents live up to expectation...

What's inside the October Glossybox

Inside my box features no less than 4  full size products, a fairly generous perfume sample and a bonus sample product.

From Left to Right -

Etre Belle Cosmetics Liplift Peel € 12.95 (Full Size)

They say - Get replenished and defined lips in an instant with this moisturising lip exfoliator. The gentle formula removes dead cells, refining the skin's surface for perfectly soft lips.

Out of all the products this is probably the one I am least enthused about getting use from as my lips are in pretty good condition, but you never know with the changing weather this could come in useful.

Yves Rocher France Quelques Notes D'Amour 5ml sample (Full Size £33 for 30ml)

They say - This scent encapsulates the feeling of falling in love through fusing notes of Damascus Rose , Guaiac Wood and Patchouli.

I like perfume samples and this is handy to pop into my weekend bag. This scent is lovely too, a bit like a delicious Turkish Delight.

So Susan Cosmetics Flutter Mascara £14.95 (Full Size)

They say - An intense carbon-black mascara formulated with hyaluronic spheres to help you achieve the darkest, curviest lashes possible.

I am always up for trying new mascaras and this sounds good, watch this space for my review!

Nuxe Creme Fraiche de Beaute Mask £19.50 (Full Size)

They say - A 24hr moisturising mask which hydrates and soothes the skin, instantly reducing discomfort or redness. Skin is left looking radiant and relaxed.

I am a big fan of Nuxe products so I am looking forward to trying out this mask which sounds ideal for the Winter months.

Ciate London Paint Pot £9 (Full Size)

I received Talent Scout a purple creme shade that be dressed up or down.

Bonus product - Rimmel London BB Cream Matte (sample size)

They say - This mulitasking 9 in 1 skin perfecting makeup cream with a natural formula contains kaolin, witch hazel and salicyclic acid for a flawless matte look.

I haven't tried this BB Cream so I will be interested to see how I get on with it, watch this space for the review..fingers crossed it is shade perfect!!

Final thoughts

This month's box represents outstanding value and with a great mix of products enclosed.

Thumbs up.

*PR Sample

Pink & Gold Nails - Nails Of The Day

The quickest way to jazz up your nails is with the addition of some gold in some shape or form, I chose a plain polish, I absolutely adore this one - Sandstorm from LOLA. If you only buy one gold polish  make it this. A must have in my opinion.

I added it as an accent on my ring fingers with the beautiful tea rose shade from Yves Rocher that came in this month's glossybox.

Yves Rocher Hydra Vegetal Instant Anti Wrinkle Moisturiser - Review

When I wrote about what was inside my October GlossyBox I mentioned that I was most excited about trying out the Yves Rocher facial moisturiser. I promised a full review once I had tried it properly and here it is.

Yves Rocher say
Targeted moisturizing for wrinkle-prone areas.
- Provides deep and lasting moisture
- Immediately smoothes wrinkles

Its plus factor : enriched in Hyaluronic Acid for greater efficacy

Botanical-based ingredients: Maple Tree Sap, Organic Blue Agave Sap, Betaine, Organic Witch Hazel Water.

My thoughts

I like the fresh cucumber scent a lot, it is refreshing to apply first thing in the morning. I am a fan of light textured facial moisturisers, and this has a really nice gel-like texture which is pleasing as it hydrates very effectively. Just as the name suggests the Instant Anti Wrinke Moisturiser smoothes the skin, instantly disguising and filling in fine lines ( I don't have very deep lines on my forehead but I can see them nevertheless). Once applied the moisturiser leaves skin feeling satin smooth and soft, providing a great base for foundation.

YVES ROCHER Hydra Vegetal  Instant Anti-Wrinkle Moisturiser costs £18 for 30ml

*Currently on the Yves Rocher UK website it is being sold for £9
