March Glambox

Hey lovely ladies! Hope all is well with  you.

Monthly beauty boxes has been so popular in the US and UK and I have always envied basically everyone who gets to receive it. I am constantly searching if we have it here only to get dissappointed every single time.  Until one day, the beauty boxes fairy appears in my dream to be the bearer of this exciting news, Glambox would be available in the UAE! :) Nope, I read a post in February and came to know about it a little late. It already started in January, I tried to buy a subscription immediately after seeing the post but it was sold out and I was put in the waiting list. After two weeks I finally get to squeeze in to their list and  bought my initial 3 months subscription. 

My dear friends, I am proud to present to you my very first Glambox! :)






As you can see, here's the list of what I've got.

Viktor & Rolf Flower Bomb EDP (7 ml sample size)
Miriam Quevedo Extreme Caviar Intensive Anti-aging Hair Mask 
Prevage Day Ultra Protection Anti-Aging Moisturizer SPF 30
Prevage Eye Ultra Protection Anti-aging Moisturizer SPF 15
Nail Lounge Polish in Poetic Petra
Vichy Thermal Spa Water
Vichy Capital Soleil Lotion SPF 50


 I never thought I would be liking Flower bomb. In every occassion that I'm in Paris Gallery or Debenhams I always spray it in my arms, catch a sniff of it and came to a conclusion that it's too strong for my liking. I used it on the same day that I got it and I think my next perfume purchase would be the full size of this.

Miriam Quevedo Hair Mask did not impressed me at all. I don't know if it's just too early to tell since I just used it twice but it my hair tangles badly on both times. I love the smell but it doesn't stay long. Once my hair dries, the scent is gone too. The only thing that I love about this is it doesn't make my scalp and hair oily. I wash my hair every other day and usually on the second day it tends to get greasy on the roots but when I use this my second day hair still looks like I just washed it. Will I purchase a full size? Maybe not. I still prefer my Macadamia Oil Repair Masque.

I'm sure to purchase Vichy Thermal Spa water, too. I am using it as a make up setting spray and I totally satisfied with the freshness that it brings to my face everytime I spritz it.

I have yet to try Vichy lotion, Prevage eye and face moisturizer and nail polish to give my opinion or views regarding the product. My skin is in a very sensitive condition right now so I can't just try product that I want. I would be running out of my skin care products in about two weeks or so. These items would be the next best thing to try.

Overall, I would say I'm completely happy with all the stuff I got. For 50 AED (shipping fee included) you got to try a lot of different products and eventually found out what works best for you. 

Have you signed up for your own Glambox already?  I'd love to know your thoughts.

bisou bisou,

Sunday Mani Mania - NYX Girl Nail Polish in Perfect Gray and Frizzy Spots

I am not a big fan of glitter polishes just because removing them on your nails is nightmare. I’ve purchased these two NYX polishes for quite a while now and I don’t know why I just let it sit in my drawer and never get around to trying it. I should’ve given my nails a festive make over with this polish. Since summer is fast approaching here in Dubai, I would take advantage of the remaining winter days to wear this color. I used Sally Hansen as my base coat. It is important to use a base coat before applying the actual nail polish because it will help protect your nail keratin. Then I added one coat of NYX Perfect Gray. I just want a thin application of this as I am planning to put a thick layer of glittered nail polish. Perfect Gray goes on opaque in three coats; make sure to remember that if you plan on wearing it alone. I then layered two heavy coats of Frizzy spots.   It is a black jelly based polish with big and small silver hexagonal glitters.   I tried wearing it

Products I've Used Up - Hits and Misses

Hey everyone! We're already on the third month of the year and February went by in a blur for me. We've been so busy at work and feel like it's draining my time and energy hence the scarcity of my post. So I decided that my first March post  would be to show you the products that I've used up last month. It's a mishmash of things that I love and those that I didn't hate but kind of regret spending my money on. I'm trying to really finish up the product not only the "hits" but even the "misses" ones because I don't want to waste it. It's quite an achievement for me every time I will finish something up.  BIODERMA SENSEBIO H2O CLEANSER This was my third one and I still have 4 back up bottles, suffice it to say that I really admire this product.  I love how it took off my make up without aggravating my skin. I use it to remove eye make up as well. I soaked the cotton pad with this and hold it over my eyes for half a m
