A blog from a large and lovely lady who enjoys trying new beauty products. Being big doesn't mean you can't be bang on trend and beautiful! All products are bought with my own hard-earned money and all opinions are personal (although always happy to debate) xx

Valentine's Glossybox
This, for anyone who isn't sure, is Glossybox.
www.glossybox.co.uk
The idea behind it is that you pay £12.95 per month (including p+p) and they send you 5 luxury sized samples and sometimes full size products to test out at home. Each month they provide codes for money off or freebies if you decide to purchase a full size of the products.
This pretty pink parcell is their Valentine's themed box. Usually the products are packaged in dusty pink, but this month we got a gorgeous hot pink.
Inside were the following treats:
-Eyeko Skinny Eyeliner in Midnight Blue
-Clarins Extra Firming Night Cream
-Clarins Extra Firming Day Cream
-FAB Body Moisturizer
-Murad Hybrids Skin Perfecting Primer - Dewy Finish
I've so far found that the Clarins creams are a little too thick for my oily face, although they do have a nice texture.
The FAB moisturiser is gorgeous!!! I've been using it on my upper arms as I suffer from mild ezema. The redness has gone down and the itching has stopped. Not only that but it had virtually no scent, so I've been able to wear my perfumes without the fragrance being warped.
I've yet to use the eyeliner properly but the colour is gorgeous. It's very pigmented.
The Murad primer is a strange one and I'm not too sure if I actually like it or not yet. The look and feel of it reminds me a lot of a tinted moisturiser, although this doesn't actually lay on the skin like a foundation. This one is going to take a bit more working with.
This month's box was pretty good.
Not worth the extra wait we all had to get it put together, but a nice variety of products to try out.
Will do a seperate review of the Eyeko liner at a later date.
