March Glossybox
The Harrods Edition!
Every month gets better!
MARCH GLOSSYBOX
See what's inside my box this month..
 |
| Very excited for this edition.. I just knew it would be filled with glamorous products.. This month Glossybox has spoiled us with 5 products that are stocked and sold at Harrods!! Beautifully packaged as always! |
 |
| From top to bottom.. Molton Brown Heavenly GingerLily Moisture Bath and Shower This smells so fresh it was my favourite product in this months box.. I look forward to trying some other Molton Brown products.. Relaxing scent and vitamin rich fruit extracts to boost the skin and invigorate any stress! LOVE Clairns Extra Firming Body Cream Great tarvel size moisturiser.. extremely ruch and helps to lift and tone for firmer skin and a younger looking body! Burberry Beauty Mini Lipstick Rosewood No.4 Cute little lippie sample.. Not my colour so will most prob give this away to a friend.. Burberry packaging is magnificent. Narcisco Rodriguez.. her First fragrance for her by Narcisco Rodriguez. A lovely scent. More of an evening fragrance for me. Very happy with my samples so far. YSL Forever youth liberator serum I have only tried this once and is so rich and the perfect treat for nightime use.. It suggests to apply prior moisturiser for extra boost and moisture for the day though due to consistency I prefer at night for skin recovery.. Perhaps someone with more ageing concerns would benefit with this product I must say.. This has got to be one of my favourite boxes yet.. Smile from ear to ear.. Loved the idea of having Harrods collaborate with Glossybox.. Looking forward to another box filled with great goodies next month. In every box so far.. I have been given a product I have never tried.. I love the concept of Glossybox.. It really lets you get a feel for brands and try new beauty bits. xx |

Giorgio Armani
I was lucky enough to be invited to have some drinks and nibbles with the Giorgio Armani crew and to mingle and check out some of there wonderful new products at Loreal HQ..
The products were truly amazing..
I fell in LOVE with the 'Eyes to kill Intense Eyeshadow'
This comes in several colours.. has such amazing pigment and can be used wet or dry.. The colours were just gorgeous.. very sexy, very smokey and very Giorgio Armani! It comes in a little pot.. A little goes a long way!! Feels like silk on your skin and has staying power that wont crease.
Another fav from the night.. was the ever famous foundations! This has been a must for all top Makeup Artists for many years now and is loved for its gorgeous sheer texture leaving your skin glowing with just the right amount of coverage.. Easily mixes with a base (moisturiser) for a lighter application.. Cater to your skin.

LANOLIPS
Lanolips is an Australian brand and is in fact a multi award winning brand for a reason.. Lanolips is made with the finest medical grade Lanolin! The Creator Kirsten Carriol grew up on a sheep farm in South Australia so carries a lovely tradition of keeping within the sheep industry though in a much more cosmetic way.. you can read on her website the lovely inspiration which began the company and story of her family dating back to early 50s growing up on farms too.
Lanolin is.. a natural product of the wool industry. It is extracted from the fleece once it has been removed from the sheep after it has been shorn. So Animal cruelty free! It contains wonderful healing properties and can be found sold across the globe or online. If living in the UK head to Boots to find the wonderful range.
Lanolips offer products for the Lips (where it all started). Also body, Hand, Nails and my favourite the multipurpose!

Lisa Shepherd - The Hair Colour Doctor!
A few years back in London when I was dying my hair almost every other day a different shade of the rainbow. I sat in a chair and told my hair colourist 'Lisa Shepherd' herself... I wanted to go from brown to blonde.. (I am a dark brown/redish curly haired gal).. With no hesitation and immediately 'NO' she replied.. I knew of her status in the hair industry and credentials and am also quite open minded when it comes to hair cuts and colours though at the same time very picky and often cut my own hair.. as hair does grow back peeps.. and mine.. seriously fast! She said she would NOT die my hair at all if I wished to go blonde that day.. I agreed and one hour later I was a gorgeous dark brown/shiny chestnut the most perfect colour for me!.. Probably the best hair colour I have ever witnessed on myself.. It was the perfect shade for my skin tone, my eyes, my personality. PERFECT.. almost more suitable then my actual natural hair!! She did the most amazing job and I was over the moon as I walked out!! She truly is the Colour Doctor!!
Now Lisa Shepherd has stores across Britain and recently opened up a salon just a hop, skip and jump away from Oxford St London..(photo above) a modern, fashionable salon run by Jason Cocking (award winning, celeb stylist, trained by Lisa Shepherd). So next time your looking for a change, a new hair cut, new colour.. a pamper, a treat.. give this salon a try!! You will walk out with a smile!

Aromatherapy Associates
I have recently been introduced to this divine range.. Geraldine Howard and Sue Beechey are considered pioneers of modern day aromatherapy and are the co founders of 'Aromatherapy Associates'. These ladies started out as therapists in the 70s and have since been sharing there knowledge through skin, bath and bodycare that transforms daily routine in to truly beneficial and luxurious treatments.
Essential Oils have been used for thousands of years for the gorgeous aromas and natural healing powers. Benefits include muscular aches and pains, skin problems, blood circulation and many more. I really believe these ladies have covered it all and will always support natural remedies before anything else.. You will most definitely find products within this range that will suit your condition whatever it may be.. Whether it be to minimize stress and clear your mind or to energise your mind and body..
Not many people treat themselves.. this could be the ultimate gift for a friend, family member or work colleague. The scents alone will ease you in to a calm state. They are perfect for a weekend pamper too!
The products and treatments can be found all over the world.. In the UK you can find them in several places.. like The Dorchester, Browns, the Ritz, The Sanctuary, the Savoy etc..
Here are some of my favourite picks from the brand..
Award Winning Bath and Shower Oils!
 These can be bought individually and more specific to your body and what range you are more interested in.. or in the home and travel section you can get your hands on a selection like above.. They smell wonderful.. really makes you feel like the salon is visiting you.. your bathroom fills with the aromas and relaxes you instantly.. All natural Oils! A bath or shower experience we all must try at some point!! This set sells at approx £28. Also in the home and travel section you can find room fragrances and scented candles for that extra special treat. Turn your home in to a sanctuary. I have been talking lots about oils lately.. they seem to be the craze at the moment and I really have found many I have loved and use daily.. They work with all skin types and feel like heaven on your skin.. As we are changing seasons at the moment they will of course help with looking after your skin over the transition period.. I tend to use a different skincare regime for summer and winter periods. Refining Face Oil with lavender, Ylang Ylang and Rose

Nails Inc Spring Collection
Nails Inc encourage us all to 'Nail the Trend'
Out now is a cool box set 'Neon and Nude' £22.00
The sun has been shining the last few days and walking the streets of Central London already fashionista's are embracing the colours on offer.. Iv'e seen brigther shoes, brighter clothes and brighter nails.. I even saw a 50 year old woman with neon yellow curly hair (it looked amazing)!
So pack away your winter greys summer is on it's way!
The Neon and Nude collection includes 3 mini best selling nude colours and three brand new ultra bright neons.
 |
| LOVE THIS BOX SET - Makes for a perfect gift or treat yourself and be ahead of the trend for summer.. Maybe not all 6 colours are right for you.. so go halves with a pal! Mini's include.. Notting Hill Gate, Portobello, Westbourne Grove, Porchester Square, Jermyn Street and Cavendish Square) |
 |
| The Neons were definitely my fav from the box.. Loved the neon Pink especially! I would say they dry to a semi matte which makes them even cooler. If perhaps the colours are too bold for work say.. then opt for colours below.. Nude tones and save these for your weekend fun. |
 |
| On trend and still smart and appropriate for those who have strict office dress code! These would look amazing with a nice fake tan first.. actually as would the neons!! Change it up depending on your mood, outfit! London Fashion Week is sadly over.. We saw on the catwalks awash of yellows and bright blues on various shows.. So Nails Inc have come up with an amazing Limited Edition Duo.. £11 each which is there regular Price.. Both very fashionable shades and would compliment many skin tones! I love 'Baker Street', the blue is amazing!   xx |
