now i love this cream,already on my second pot ,so I'm happy for a small tube to chuck in my bag rather than a pot. this is lovely on the face the camphor smell dies down so don't worry. its very good on dry skin on heels and elbows ,also very good for eczema. and a tub lasts ages as its more a balm consistency.

Ive had these in another box so another to add to the collection, one is a serum and the other is a thermal clay mask.

so here's my box.menu and little city book.

my little travelling book

inside my glossy.

glossy box city chic

so this box has a bit of everything ,some of the things need looking at for resale as they are not made well enough .


tresemme salon Finnish extra hold hairspray   £4.69 for 500ml sample given 100ml.
now tresemme say this is fast drying and gives all day flexible control ,this extra hold is humidity resistant ,
well i don't like tresemme products as they have too much rubbish in  them but humidity test wore it today in my hair at work in the kitchen ,it failed miserably.so glad i never brought it.

tresemme hair spray

loccitaine immortelle precious cream, £43 for 50ml, sample given 15ml
i love getting these creams as a little goes a long way ,it there major selling anti ageing cream and if you have tried it your probably agree.sinks well into skin and not greasy .

loccitaine

immortelle precious cream

jelly pong pong cosmetics lip stain,£12 ,full size given.2.5g.
these were released for valentines day ,its a rich moisturising  creamy lip stain in bright red .
this is labelled as cruelty free ,made ,packaged ,assembled,in china in case any of you want to know ethics wise . just a note of warning when opening be careful as when you pull the lid off the colour stick shoots out onto the floor as its not pushed down or pressed into the tube,this contains beeswax and ceresin wax for smooth application. would of been OK if in a different colour and for an extra few quid you can get a clarins chubby instead which is far better made .

jelly pong pong lip stain

Elizabeth Arden eight hour  cream protection fragrance free. £25 for 50ml,sample given 7ml.
a tried and tested classic,every  girls on the go must have,created in 1930its won the UK beauty editors favourite product for the past 7 years .a universal balm a little goes a long way ,the sample was very dry i found it a bit greasy for my skin.

Elizabeth Arden eight hour cream

nails inc bruton st. 10ml £11 sample given 4ml mini pot.
this is a dusky nude pink shade ,i do like these mini sizes as you can try a shade without wasting money buying a large bottle ,i personally love nails inc as they are thick and i find they don't chip on my nails.you cant really go wrong with nail polish in  box .

nails inc bruton st.

so a nice mixed box of products some i will use some i will pass on .but it was a glossy dots box so i can be happy knowing it was my free box.
so did you get this box or a different box,have you brought these products separately  what would you say about them are they any good. thank you for reading .

my mothers day treat from me

hello everyone .
i popped over to Canterbury for a browse.and i needed to pop in to loccitaine shop to have a sniff at the new cherry fragrance .
i always tend to get lost in this shop as i always end up getting more than i went in for.
so i went in to sniff the spring cherry fragrance.
loccitaine can be found here .http://uk.loccitane.com/spring-cherry-eau-de-toilette,83,1,29912,349541.htm

i went in for this spring cherry £32.00

but ended up with this.
spring cherry collection £39.00

spring cherry collection.

the spring collection comprises of 50ml.eau DE toilette,75ml velvet hydrating gel,250ml spring cherry iridescent shower gel,30ml spring cherry hand cream.

the spring Cherry collection captures fresh fruity and floral scents of the first days of Provencal cherry orchards,
the top notes are mandarin and then cherry and magnolia.the mandarin comes through very clear and is defiantly blended with cherry blossoms.
totally different from last years cherry princess range.and also fruitier than the cherry blossom range.

the spring cherry eau DE toilette,  separate price £32

spring cherry eau DE toilette

the shower gel separate price separate price £13
this is slightly fruitier and has a lustre powder in so gives a lovely delicate sheen to your skin after.

spring cherry shower gel.

velvet moisturising gel. separate price 75ml£8.50 or £20 for 250ml.
the gel formula is made with Shea butter,it sinks straight into the skin,the cherry extract is slightly overpowered by the magnolia but left my skin velvety smooth.

spring cherry velvet moisturiser

hand cream 30ml separate price  £8 
you can never ever have too many loccitane hand creams .its one of the best formulae for years  and its so thick but really good on the hands.

spring cherry hand cream

this is more fruity blossom scented as well.

this is a limited edition collection and the hand cream is already low in stock,so for a little bit extra it pays to get this set previous price was £61.50 .

and as i am a VIP member i received the leaflet threw the door for a free full size shower gel if i spent over£35 . 
i forgot the card but once the SA put through the till i also walked out with this.
lavender shower gel.
