Nail Polish haul (China Glaze, OPI & MAC)


Throughout November and December I had a bit of an obsession with Nail Polish. I literally couldn't get enough. If I had more money I would have probably bought every bottle on Earth. I go through these phases of buying lots of one item quite frequently but this is the first time I've done it with Nail Polish, nomally it's with tights. Anyway here's a quick round up of what I bought. I apologise in advance for some of the pictures, I've done this at completely the wrong time of day and the glare from my camera flash combined with artificial light does not look nice.

What's in my December 2012 Glossybox?


So, after learning of the demise of the She Said Beauty box this month I figured I'd find a new monthly service to sign up to. She Said Beauty promoted Joliebox as their preferred partner and offered us free gifts if we signed up to them. Now, while that sounds like a good deal initially, I wasn't impressed. The gift that was offered was a lipgloss, a palette from a brand called 'So Susan' and a mini nail polish. These were all items Joliebox subscribers had previously received. The lipgloss and nail polish were from brands I hadn't really heard of and quite frankly I don't want to be 'So Susan' as she sounds like a 50-something housewife (no offence if you're called Susan, I just think it's a terrible brand name) so these gifts didn't really entice me into subscribing. That, coupled with the fact every single Joliebox review I've seen has been unremarkable put me off subscribing to them. Not to mention that in the December Joliebox they sent out a Bellapierre shimmer powder and two sachets of a Dr. Duve product, both of which I'd received in a She Said Beauty box. I don't know, it's kind of like they're recycling samples.

What's in my December She Said Beauty box? First impressions


So December has rolled around again and my She Said Beauty box got delivered this morning. I was definitely excited as I'd already looked at the sneak preview and some of these products looked really interesting. So, I opened up my box and here's what I got!
