Dermalogica Age Smart Renewal Lip Complex.

Out of everything I've received from Glossybox so far, this 1ml wonder is without a doubt my most used. Dermalogica Age Smart Renewal Lip Complex is one of the smallest, most unimpressive looking products I've ever clapped eyes on but good things really do come in small packages.

The Age Smart line is aimed at more mature skin but prevention is better than cure and theres no reason younger people couldnt use these products. The skin around the lips and eyes is the first place that ages - the younger you are when you start taking care of these areas, the more your skin will thank you. Even teens should be using eyecream, theres no reason why they shouldnt be takin care of the lip area too but most people (me) often forget.

I'm in my 20s and dont have lip lines so really cant comment on how well this product works for that problem. I've been using Lip Renewal Complex almost everynight before bed (1ml has lasted me almost 3 months) and my lips have never felt as smooth, especially at this time of year. I've never suffered from chronic dry lips anyway but the dryness is zero now.

The texture is thick and balmy but glossy and long lasting, It can feel quite gritty, more so when its cold but thats just down to the ingredients reacting with the temperature. Full size isnt much bigger than this sample - its under 2ml, eek! RRP: is around £16 but I'm sure I saw it online for alot cheaper. I'll definately repurchase and continue to use it as a night treatment.

What did all you Glossyboxers think, did you enjoy using Lip Renewal?



Better Late Than Never.

I'm probably the last Glossyboxer to do this post this month but I wanted to wait untill I'd tried out the Deborah Lippmann polish.

I'm not going to start going on about the ins and outs of Glossybox, most people know what it is and reading about the whole concept each month gets a bit irriating.

Glossybox ticked all my boxes this month, theres nothing in the box that I wouldnt use. I was praying for the Nouveau Lashes mascara when I first saw all the posts going up and thats exactly what I got :]

This is my first time using a Deborah Lippmann polish, I've read so many rave reviews so was really excited to try it out. Razzle Dazzle retails at £16, crazy. The bottle is amazing, its so different to other polish bottles. It took 3 coats to get a full finish, if I paid £16 for a nail polish I would expect full coverage with 2 coats, I would want to make it last as long as possible. I do like the colour and its fascinating to look at under different lights but I'm really not wow'd by it. I'm glad I got the chance to try a Lippmann polish and even though I do like it, I cant say its made me want to part with £16 to try more shades.

I've read so many blogs complaining about people complaining about Novembers box (did that make sense? lol) We all have an opinion, we're allowed to be happy/unhappy with what we receive. I stand by everything I said last month, the box I reveived was a joke and my problem wasnt anything to do with the sizes of the products, it was the fact that a bag of bath salts was being passed off as a luxury product. I dont think so some how. Everything I say on this blog is honest, I'm not going to lie and say I'm pleased with something when I'm not, in fear of 'brands' reading it. That would just be pointless and I doubt my followers want to read lies.
