Lots of new things have come out recently, or have just come to my attention.
Nivea primer
Usually I see primers for oily skin to help it stay ka-put but I feel like I need a primer to add an extra layer between the dryness of my skin and the foundation, this one isn’t pricey so i’ll probably pick it up the next time I go to my superdrug if they stock it yet.
MUA brow kit & Cream blush
My superdrug only has a small section for MUA and only really has the £1.00 stuff and foundation. I’ll be lucky if they’ve got the cream blush and brow kit yet, I also want the Artiste Palette but i’ll have to get that off the website because my local superdrug certainly wont have that.
Justin Bieber Girlfriend Perfume
Everyone loved his last perfume, I didn’t get a chance to try that but I really want to try this one.
Lookbeauty brow perfect kit
This has everything you need for your brows, and everytime you buy a product from lookbeauty a small donation goes to a breast cancer charity, win win.
Babyliss Hot Rollers
I love babyliss and I really want to try some decent hot rollers, yes please to these.
Thinking Pink! Makeup Edition
Let’s all show some consideration and switch to the products supporting Breast Cancer this October. Some of these sets are money savers and benefit not only us but charities for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Fear not! You don’t have to wait until next month for this months beauty box review like the September box.
Septembers box - for me - was so good it would have been hard for October to match it.
This box came with: A small tub of hand cream; A small bottle of cocoa butter by palmers; A sample of black and white head removal gel; A sample of exfoliating scrub; Two samples of night cream and a pack of 30 acai berry vitamins for the sbb treat.
Overall Octobers quite a bleughh.. for me, the worth of this box is far less than the subcription price of £12.95
I thought i’d include the info you get with the box as I was intrigued to actually see what they said before I subscribed.
I don’t actually think this had helped whatsoever with my blackheads, it feels nice and cooling on the skin though, but look at that price ^ that’s a big fat no from me.
Hand cream is something that just doesn’t interest me unless it really stands out with it’s standard of moisturizing or fragrance, i’ve actually given this to my Mum. It’s decent but I wouldn’t repurchase even though it’s only £0.99
I like this but it’s just too expensive, I’d much rather find a cheaper alternative. It exfoliates well though, i’d have liked a bigger sample.
This night cream moisturized my skin nicely, the sachet is enough for one to two uses. This is something i’d consider repurchasing.
This is something I already have plenty of lying about in my house so it was pretty useless to me, but I know already that I like palmers cocoa butter. It moisturizes nicely and the scent is nice.
Personally I didn’t mind receiving pills but I could see that some people wouldn’t want these in their box, I got the acai berry ones - if i’m honest it’s hard to see if they make any difference. I’m glad these were the treat and not one of the actual products.
Overall this box was kind of disappointing, there isn’t really anything in this box i’d rush out to go and buy after trying.
Whilst it seems pointless to post about last months box and products i’m still excited to rave about it because I honestly think the she said September beauty box is their best box by far.
I’ve worked out that the contents come to around £20-£25, which is good seeing as the subscription price is £9.00 plus postage and packaging of £2.50
The boxes themselves can be very exciting to receive in the post, the pink box on the outside can be cut and used as a drawer organizer and the inner blue box as very pretty storage, perhaps everyday makeup or hair accessories.
Septembers theme was skincare, it came with what I think was six if not full size then very generous samples: A primer and fixing spray from collection formally known as collection 2000; An oil cleanser by DHC; A sachet of a cooling face mask; An exfoliating gel and a packet of popped crisps as a ssb treat.
I can’t help but to look at the sneak peak at the beginning of the months so I always know what’s coming and I was really excited for this one.
This is the box, opened with the contents minus the already eaten crisps which were okaay. I personally hoped for the original flavor as i’m not a fan of barbecue flavored things but they were okay and I ate them regardless (that might have been because I was starving!)
Moving on… My preferred products to receive would be makeup items, there’s a slim line between skincare and makeup when it comes to primers and fixing spray but regardless I couldn’t have hoped for better products as I don’t think you can ever have enough primers, and as for the fixing spray I don’t have much to compare it to but i’ve always wanted to try one, it’s nice to try a more inexpensive one before splurging on the skindinavia one or mac fix.
They both work nicely, I think the spray could be a little bigger however it distributes nicely. I’d wait for makeup to try completely before using this.
Sorry for the blurry picture, the concept of this little oil is interesting and scary at the same time, it says it dissolves makeup and dirt from your face and once rinsed away completely disapears. I’m skeptical about putting oils on my face for some reason but this works nicely, it does what it says and for the smallest size seems to last a long while.
I love love love face masks but I have to shudder when I see ‘cooling’ on the sachet because ironically these seem to always burn my skin like crazy. It was uncomfortable to wear but felt nice afterwards. There’s enough for one generous use or two smaller uses. The packaging is so cute though.
It’s hard to decide whether I like the gel or not because when using it in a regime I don’t know which product made my skin feel and look good, I do use it though and it hasn’t broken me out.
I do have to complain about one thing: ugh hello?! it’s OCTOBER! Yes, why did I have to wait until October for my beauty box, I had to email them three times to get it, and finally ( a month later ) I did.
For some reason I only thought it was necessary to take three pictures of the box, however this box was fantastic, definently more like this please ssb!
