Beauty Vixen

In the last month my polish collection got a little boost, actually a big one.
Butter London - Scoundrel - I got this as a gift from my boss, it was really sweet of her. I adore Butter polishes and only had 2 before this so it was a great pre-xmas gift.
Revlon - Silver Screen & Peach Nectar - I got Silver Screen in my December Glossy Box and my Boss got the Peach Nectar, but since she hated it she gave it to me. I am happy to have two new additions to my collection but personally would not have chosen these shades.
L'oreal - Because You're Worth It, Crazy For Chic & Orange You Jealous? - I could not wait to get my hands on Because You're Worth It, oh so pretty!!!Orange You Jealous? is such a pretty peachy shade like a creamsicle.
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure - First Kiss, Coral Fever & Strike a Pose - I got these for a steal at a discount store that opened up at Eglinton Station here in Toronto. They sell for 4 / $10.
 Zoya - Ziv - This is a really amazing glittery gold shade that goes on really amazingly smooth. So pretty.
Nicole by OPI - Keeping up with Santa, Drying Drops & Still into Pink - Keeping up with Santa was a Kardashian shade and is simply fantastic for the holidays or any time you want a great red shade. The drying drops I got at Zellers for about $5.50 while they are liquidating everything and I thought I would give it a try , let us just say I'm already in love. Still into Pink is a new shade for 2013 for the brand and it isn't quite matte or glossy, somewhere in-between. I really like the blue toned pink.
Kiss Nail Art Paint - Pearl Blue, Bikini Pink & Beach Green - I got these as a three pack at my local Dollarama for $2. I really want to learn how to do some nail art and the fine tips might just help me do that.
So that is what I've somehow picked up in the last 30 days nail polish wise. I feel my collection is getting a little large for my storage and usage, but these were either gifts or dirt cheap so I cannot argue with that. 

Did you get any new polishes lately?

Last Tuesday I attended a fabulous holiday party hosted by Glossybox Canada at the Marc Anthony Salon.

Cannot tell you how amazing it was. There were brands there that had been featured in the past boxes there to showcase their products and mingle. There were stations set up to get your hair done in braids, have fabric woven in or even buns.  NYX was even doing peoples makeup. There was a nail station where you could do your own nails using Nicole By OPI not even released yet collections (Selina Gomez and Modern

 I got my hair done up in a bun by one of the amazing women who work at the salon. I am in awe of how easy she made it look.

It really was an amazing time, I got to chat and learn about brands, try out thing and had a blast with some of the Toronto Beauty Bloggers.

Thanks to Glossybox and Tracey Brooke PR for the invite and the great time.

 Novemeber's Glossy box came with 6 products, one flyer and a coupon card.

First up is the flyer. It is a little advertising magazine called "GLOSSY Mag". It is actually quite cute and filled with great gift ideas, a nice little extra.

The box had a Nexus shampoo and conditioner that were 89 ml, this is quite a big size but last month there was a shampoo and conditioner. A great brand and a big size.
400 ml Shampoo retails for $9.99 and a 400 ml Conditioner retails for $14.99.

A new Curel product intended for dry hands and cuticles is inside the box. It is a full sized item and retails for $3.99. My skin is extra dry and chapped this time of year...and it will start to bleed on me. I have to watch what I use, but this looks extremely promising.

Vitabath Bath and Shower Gelee for dry skin was in my box (I know there is another product in some other boxes). Vitabath is a very high end bubble bath that I am familiar with, this bottle is 170 g (why not ml?). A bottle this size retails fro $15-18.
 A custom Kryolan blush in Glossy Rosewood was included. This shade is really pretty and aperently exclusive to glossybox. I was really impressed to see a pro brand like kryolan in this box. It was a full sized item, and 2.5 g retails for $16.73.
The last item in the box was a Nicole by OPI nail polish from the Kardashian Kollectioin. This shade is a glitter top coat of sorts that is in holiday colours and is called "Kardashing through the snow"It is another full sized item and 15 ml retails for $10.99.   There were other shades received in boxes.
So I forgot to put this back in the box...it is a Maybelline MNY my gloss. Full sized in a colour that I am not sure of (can't find a name on it) and it 9 ml. Retails for $7.49. Sorry about that.
There was also a discount card for Über inside the box, I misplaced mine and could not take a photo. 
Information card
 Overall this is a great box with 5 full sized items (in my case anyways) and large shampoo samples. I got a nice shade of polish and the blush is fantastic. I feel a little underwhelmed by it all though, I feel it is all me though and this really is a great box.

A+
