Happy Valentine's Day with GlossyBox!

It was a lovely surprise to find this month’s Glossy Box was a hot pink colour, instead of their usual dusty pink and black, all in the name of Valentine’s Day! Who needs a secret admirer when you have GlossyBox right? ;) 

My special 2012 Valentine’s Day Edition contained:

♥ Clarins extra-firming day cream

♥ Clarins extra-firming night cream

♥ Murad Skin Perfecting Primer

♥ Eyeko Skinny Eyeliner

♥ First Aid Beauty Body MoisturiserA great line up of products once again this month!

One of my favourites in the box was definitely the Eyeko Skinny Eyeliner (RRP £9.50 Link!)
I was excited to see that Eyeko has re-branded their makeup range to more ‘elegant’ and ‘grown up’ packaging. I really like the new look!

The eyeliner was the only full sized product in this month’s box and comes with a long metal holder so that even when you get to the last bit of eyeliner, you can still hold it easily. Clever thinking Eyeko! The eyeliner comes in 6 shades and I received the colour ‘Emerald Green’ which makes a lovely addition to my makeup collection. The eyeliner is highly pigmented, has a lovely soft and creamy texture and is long lasting. Think this will look great as a POP of colour to my waterline, or smudged in my lash-line with a golden or bronzed lid. For some ideas on how to wear a pop of colour on your lids, check out some of my previous looks here, here, here and here. 

I have been using the First Aid Beauty Body Moisturiser on my dry and flaky winter legs since I got it and they are definitely not complaining about some extra moisture :)

It’s light weight, oil free and non-comedogenic which is supposed to be perfect for oily, combination, or acne-prone skin.

I was also one of the lucky ones to receive the Clarins Day & Night creams in my GlossyBox this month. I did hear some people were a little disappointed when they opened their box to realise they didn’t get them; this is because not every Box comes with the exact same products!

I haven’t used Clarins that much in my lifetime up until now but have to say I am enjoying using the extra-firming day cream. It’s quite rich but leaves my face feeling super soft without feeling greasy.

Have you got any plans for Valentine’s Day? I loved a recent post by Gwyneth Palthrow on her website GOOP which was full of great (and simple) ideas for your other half; you can check it out here. 

I hope you all have a fabulous Valentine’s Day and have something lovely planned- be it with that someone special in your life or just with friends or a nice treat for yourself!! Tonight me and some friends are cooking up an Ottolenghi feast for dinner and then we'll be sitting down for a romantic session of watching the Notebook which is one of my all-time favourite movies!

Happy V-Day ♥ xoxo
