This CC cream has a white base and contains color changing beads in it. It feels very smooth upon application. This CC cream also contains a nice list of ingredients, mostly natural ones. You can look up the ingredients on COSDNA if you want to check them out first. The good point which I like a lot is, that it doesn’t contain parabens, mineral oil, talc, benzophenone, artificial color, PG or 3-ethonolamines, so people disliking these ingredients in their cosmetic might like this product as well. It has SPF 50+/PA+++, too, which supports anti wrinkle effects and prevents skin damage. As all CC creams it claims to have a lot of skin benefits and smoothen the skin.
For February Glossybox made a special theme for the Glossybox, and the theme is: ♥ Valentine ♥ For this occasion they also changed the design of the package, which comes in a cute box with kisses all over it :D Curious what was inside the box? Take a look :)

I’m happy with this box and I think this month design and the theme are selected nicely. The products fit to the theme as well and it is nice to put an extra into all boxes. What do you think about this months products?
If you want to try GlossyBox by yourself, just go to their web page (here). They have different kind of boxes, too.
The packaging is much larger than I expected, and the folded Sheet mask only takes half of the packages space. The sheet is soaked thoroughly with the milky essence. Since it’s a milky essence the texture feels super soft.
The packaging is simple and looks very clinical. It gives the impression of being a medical product. Indeed, the product description says that it contains many natural ingredients derived from plants, so it should be beneficial for the skin.

The product has the typical moussy consictency of foam cleansers. It is white colored and has a difficult to describe scent. I’m not good in describing scents anyway, but the scent is a mixture between sweet and fresh, but it is neither flowery nor herbal….>_<”’ Excuse me that I’m not able to describe it in a better way…
It lathers into a fine and rich foam. If I use my new Konjak Sponge I only need a tiny amount and I get enough foam already. I think it will be the same if you use a cleansing brush. The cleansing effect is also good. It cleanses reliably make-up. The skin feels clear and soft afterwards and also a bit brightened up- which is probably the effect of the removed dead skin cells. For very dry skin: don’t forget to use moisturizer afterwards, because it is not leaving your skin moisturized. But that’s with almost all foam cleansers. I think this cleanser will work great on oily skin, because of the sebum reduction effect it claims to have. Since I have dry skin mostly, I cannot judge this part. I’ve been using this foam cleanser for 4 weeks now and it didn’t give me any irritations or breakouts.
If you are curious about this foam cleanser you can have a look at Wishtrend’s online store. It is available for US$ 12.99. At the moment it is available with free shipping as far as I know. If you’ve never ordered at Wishtrend you’ll get a one-time free shipping voucher upon registration.

So, this is again a lip crayon :D It has a clear plastic cap and works with a twisting mechanism, which I like a lot, because you don’t need a sharpener at hand. The design is simple, but the cute font they use on the crayon packaging gives it just the necessary amount of individuality to not get boring.
You can choose between 5 different shades on Abbamart’s Online Shop. The description for “Bad Girl” on the page says:
* Belleme’s trend-setting lip crayons express pure, vibrant color with a single swipe
* BAD GIRL gives irresistible attitude with a deep rich burgundy
* Creamy texture glides effortlessly on
* Perfect for creating two-tone lips with your favorite lipstick (see below for our favorite match!)
* Gives lips long-lasting moisture and softness
* No need to search for a sharpener – convenient twist-up base pushes up the crayon right when you need it

The packaging is compared to Etude House’s normally very girly packaging not really special. The color of it is simply black, with the name of the stick written on it. It has a simple cap, to protect the stick and it works via twisting mechanism, so you can wind up the eyeshadow stick. At the bottom of the stick you can see which color you are using.
“Gold Tail Star” is a golden shimmery eye shadow color. I love using it under my eyes, but it looks good on the eyelids, too, giving a soft spark. It is super easy to use in both ways. It glides smoothly on the skin, but since the skin around the eyes is extra sensitive, don’t scrub it too hard over it :)
I like this eyestick, because it is very easy to use and it has a travel friendly size (it’s shorter than most pens and pencils are). It is also really affordable in my eyes, although the prices seem to vary a bit (I bought mine at Keautystore because I’ve earned some credit there by writing reviews, so I paid actually almost nothing for it). You should have a look at ebay, too, if you are interested in buying these. The only downside of these eyeshadow sticks are, that they are not smudgeproof. If you have oily lids I would recommend you to use a eyeshadow primer in order to extend the wearability and prevent creasing. I don’t have oily lids myself, but even I am totally surprised what a difference wearing an eyeshadow base can make (I’m using a cheap drugstore eyeshadowbase, so it doesn’t have to be something high end to do the difference).
