So this is my second month with Glossy Box's subscription, I was very dubious about what to expect this month. However, I'm shook! This month has improved drastically, and honestly I fell in love with so many products. Plus, it was packaged beautifully again just like last time (if you haven't read the May's box blog post check it out here).

What's inside June's box?

- BeautyPro Black Diamond Mask

- 111Skin Space Defence Bright Eye Lift Gel 5ml

- Manna Kadar Sheer Glow Illuminator 20ml

- Sleek Power Plump Lip Crayon

- Africa Argan Oil Hand Cream 100ml

- Batiste Heat & Shine Spray 200ml

The item that first caught my eye was the Batiste, purely because it's a full size product!?!? Crazy right? I love Batiste and knew instantly this product would be used often by me. The, the BeautyPro diamond face-mask intrigued me I was expecting it to work like those face-mask demo videos you see on Facebook. The ones when you peel, you see all the black heads inside the mask?

Well, I gave this product a try and must admit, it wasn't all that amazing. It dried quicker in my t-zone area (around nose), I left it on for 20-ish minutes and then peeled off. I found it easy to peal off, but it left the skin a bit dirty I had to thoroughly rinse my face straight away. My skin felt smooth and soft, but for someone with oily skin type it wasn't too long before I had to do my full skincare routine again because it got so oily. As for the mask, a few black heads showed but nothing to make me go 'wow'. I would probably never buy this again, I feel like there are more masks that work better for my skin type but it was nice to try out.

The sheer glow illuminator caught my eye, but when I tried it I noticed it had a huge fragrance and chemicals which did put me off. It worked alright, it gave a glow effect when I mixed with my foundation, but the smell just puts me off. And the African oil hand cream was a huge love, smells amazing, great product size, and something I am using daily!

So this is my second month with Glossy Box's subscription, I was very dubious about what to expect this month. However, I'm shook! T...

So this month is very special to me with my #MeltCrowd subscription from Flamingo Candles, that's because it's been exactly TWO years of continuous subscription with them. Yup, two full years with no cancellation! And to my surprise, I received a FREE candle jar, plus this month's theme is 'tropic' and very rainforest like.

What's in the June box?

- Cola Ice Pops

- Gin & Tonic

- Palm Tree

- Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream

- Pineapple & Lime

- Strawberry Candy

- White Musk

- Lemon Sobert

So when I saw all the melts in my box, the first one that instantly caught my eye was the Strawberry Candy and Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream. Of course the two most sugary, sweet named ones! The strawberry candy melt isn't the smell of fresh strawberries I was expected, it's much more of that artificial strawberry scent you get with milkshakes. It still smells delicious. The raspberry ripple ice cream is actually very vanilla like to me? Odd, I'm strange, but it's such a creamy melt with a sugary sweet smell to it.

I am happy to say, there isn't one melt in this months box that doesn't appeal to me, they all smell beautiful. I know for sure I will burn all of these scents at some point without any doubt. The palm tree, and white musk are the two more sophisticated scents out of the box that have a more relaxing smell to them.

As for the two year gift I received, it was a jar candle with the letter 'A' in the scent Raspberry & Salted Caramel. My all time favourite smell, so sweet and sugary perfect for any time of the year. The letter 'A' I found very creative, interesting fact is this subscription was taken out under my mums name. She pays for the subscription monthly and we share the melts, so assumingly the letter A came from her name as the subscription is in her name. But luckily enough, we both share the same letter 'A' for our names (Amy) which is an even better factor to this beautiful gift.

I just want to say a HUGE thank you to Flamingo Candles, not only for my free candle (which I'm beyond in love with, thank you again) but also thank you for keeping the #MeltCrowd alive all this time. They've been so creative over the two years, different themes, all melts match the themes scents, and all packaged beautifully and different each month. So thank you Flamingo Candles!

Flamingo Candles | June Box & 2 Years

So this month is very special to me with my #MeltCrowd subscription from Flamingo Candles, that's because it's been exactly TWO year...

So last month my mum surprised me with an unexpecting subscription with Glossy Box it arrived in the mail packaged beautiful. Glossy box have their own packaging cardboard box, if that makes sense! So you knew exactly what the parcel was before you even opened it. Inside, you get a good quality pink box (perfect for up-cycling to storage) and inside that is the products wrapped beautifully in pink paper and black ribbon.

Whats inside the May box?

- Il-Luminate milk cleanser 200ml

- Dr Paw Paw original balm 25ml

- Sleek Makeup 'Eye & Cheek Palette'

- Scrub Love body scrub

- Ruby Blush

I must admit when I first received this box I was very disappointed, the items where nice but stuff I wouldn't personally choose to use on a daily basis or purchase on their own. However, I've saw so many other bloggers recommend the box and even friends in real life who've told me previously they've had some major 'bargains' and 'lovable' items. I've decided I will give the subscription another month to see whats included, if I feel the same I'm likely to cancel the box.

The milk cleanser was probably the first thing that caught my eye, for some reason when seeing it I was instantly reminded of Clinique's cleansing milk. I'm not sure if it will be great for my skin, I'l try it out and let you all know as I do have very sensitive skin (prone to breakouts or outbursts of oil when using different products).

I'm BACK!!! Hey guys, so you've probably been wondering where have I been the past few months? Totally inactive on the blog, no posts, no fun! Well if you kept up to date with me over on my Instagram, you'd know I've been busy with my final year in university.

So the past few months I've been working very hard on my Dissertation, for those of you who don't know what that is. It's a 10,000 word document based on research, or in my case as a computer science student an implementation project. So I had to 'implement' something, along with 10,000 words, and a presentation to the marks! Stress, stress, stress...

I've also been busy with my university exams, and assignments of course after all this is my final year and in a few weeks I find out if I can graduation (fingers-crossed). But never the less, I'm back! The blog posts will become regular again so please bare with me, along with the more free time I have to now decide what to do with life? A job, another qualification? What?! It's a whole other blog post to itself, I'm sure I'l get around to writing about that. But for now, just know I'l be back!
