What's In My February 2013 Glossybox?

So this month's Glossybox took on an obvious Valentines theme. The box itself (which I forgot to take a picture of) was extremely pretty this month with a cute pink bow on the box, rather than the normal plain Glossybox emblem. The inside was fuchsia with pink paper. When I picked it up it felt heavy, this was promising. Needless to say when I lifted the lid I was not disappointed, here's what I got...

The Walking Dead: How Telltale Games Broke My Heart.

Time for something a little bit different. My blog seems to have taken a swing towards becoming a beauty blog. While that's all well and good (I enjoy writing about that stuff a lot) I do want to be able to go off on a tangent and write about something unrelated every now and then so here it is. I've been into video games since I was young. I remember going to my aunt's house and my cousin was playing Crash Bandicoot on his Playstation.

I started by watching my mum play the Tomb Raider series which, as a kid, I loved then in my early teens I moved onto Silent Hill, a franchise which I adore.

Retail Therapy Haul - with Paige! (OPI, Chanel, Clarins, MAC and more)

So after many months of not seeing each other, my good friend Paige and I decided it was time we went shopping. I needed this, not only did I actually need to buy Valentines things for my boyfriend but I just needed to get out of the house and do something. I've been feeling kind of stressed lately about a number of things. They're mostly stupid but I do get worked up very easily. Seeing her and doing some good old shopping definitely helped me relax and forget about everything else. Paige also has a blog which you can access HERE. I decided to take snaps of what she and I bought and do a little haul on the products so here it is!

What's In My January 2013 Glossybox?

First of all this is a little late, I had my dissertation due in, an exam and then ended up staying with my boyfriend for longer than expected due to the snow so apologies for that. The theme of this box is detox as apparently over the Christmas period everyone gets obese, has terrible skin and dry hair so therefore they spend January doing nothing but Pilates and eating carrot sticks. Hmm. Here's what I got:
