I swatched this twice on Sunday, once in Boots and then once in Debenhams. And then I willingly caved, but only after thinking twice and remembering Debenhams were offering 10% off all beauty and I also had a £5 off thingy on my BeautyCard... making this a steal at £10.40! That's instead of £18. I've heard rants and raves about this product and once the "I've gotta have it because she has it" thought was planted in my head I had know other choice but to make a purchase. 

The product Ooh the smell, it's sweet as you'd expect and like sweet, sweet candy floss. Sticky? Nah, it doesn't feel like your standard gloss, it has movement and doesn't gum your top lip to the bottom. Staying power? It has it... once you've slicked this on to your pout it is staying right there. Ooh and does it look even better on top of your favourite  nude lipstick, you never have an excuse to not be wearing this gloss 24/7. I can see this tube lasting a while and becoming the most battered item at the bottom of my make up bag. 

Am I as addicted as everyone else? Yes, as predicted I fell in love. It's true what they say, it is your lips, just better. Therefore you are topping it up at every opportunity. 

I hear there is a dupe No7 do a dupe version at better than half the price, No7 BB Lips at £8.50. You know Boots are always giving out them pounds off No7 products with your receipts so that makes the dupe maybe worth a look. 

Would I pay £18 for it? I'd hold out for another Debenhams discount. These roll around probably once a month or so, pinch your pennies. But yes I would repurchase, again and again and again... wider colour range need though. Collect your Boots points, find it cheaper online or grab a treat, either way spoil yourself to this Clarins must have.

Glossybox The Harrods Edition

So after Februarys Glossybox we were promised a "Mystery Box" .  Sadly the mystery was outed when Glossybox held an event for bloggers to reveal what the fuss was all about , only thing was once these boxes were handed out pictures began to appear showing us all what the box contained . I no personally I love the feeling of the surprise when I first open my monthly box and try to avoid other bloggers posts about their box's until mine has arrived .
 
Anyway on to what I thought of this mystery box . I do like all the products , they are all great . The Molton Brown shower gel smells lush and I'll be using it asap but £18 for this product full size is mental . The YSL serum is also real yum and pure luxury but £80 for 50ml is even more mental . With the "normal" Glossybox I would usually probably buy a sample I like but with this Harrods Edition I sadly wouldn't purchase any , only due to the price of the full size products , other than that I think it is an amazing effort put in by the Glossybox team , Thank you .

Confused ? ? ?  Is this the official  March box ? ? ? As it was delivered earlier than normal and I was under the impression it was some sort of extra ? ? ? 

Narciso Rodriguez eau De Parfum
Molton Brown Hevenly GingerLily Moisture Bath & Shower 
YSL Forever Youth Liberator Serum 
Burberry Beauty Miniature Lip Cover Rosewood No4 
Clarins Extra Firming Body Cream
