Benefit Full Finish Lipstick in "Do Tell"

Hi everyone! Happy St. Paddy's weekend again!
Thought I'd review my newest purchase! You can never have too many lipsticks. I love Benefit products but I bought this online from Debenhams.ie so was a bit worried that it might not arrive the same color as the swatch on the site. However I needn't have bothered as it was exactly what I had been expecting.

The lipstick goes on smoothly and feels as if it moisturises your lips, which is always nice. The shade "Do Tell" is quite rich, a sort of plumish pink, but isn't overpowering and can be worn during the daytime or evening. Quite versatile really! I've been wearing it nearly everyday since I got it to be honest!

I have particularly pale skin and typical Irish white as a ghost complexion, and I found that this shade really highlighted this, not washing it out but making a stark contrast none the less. However I quite liked the effect.  I'm sure it would go very well with darker complexions, I think it's one of those really complimentary shades.

The only downside to this product I suppose would be the price, it cost 21.50eur from Debenhams. Although I did receive free delivery. As a student I found this a bit pricey, however if your looking for good quality and guess it costs that extra bit.
Anyway, have a good weekend and let me know what you think! Do you agree that it's quite expensive or am I just being a broke student? Hahaha!

Glossybox hits Ireland.

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is having a brill St. Paddy's weekend!

I've just recently discovered Glossybox and am in the process of deciding to purchase it or not. 

Every month a box with a random assortment of beauty product goodies is delivered to your door!

It sounds like a lovely idea but I've heard of some very mixed reactions.

This months Glossybox theme is "City Chic" and while everyone's box is individual somewhat, I know that if I got a can of Tresemme hairspray in mine I would probably be a bit disappointed when you compare that to some of the NARS products that were featured in boxes earlier this year. That's not to say that some of the other products this month don't look very appealing.

But perhaps that's the point, that you never know and one month you'll be completely surprised and another you'll just be like "meh" until you're on your way out somewhere, need a quick spritz of hairspray and remember you've got that sample Tresemme can down the back of a drawer.

For less than 15euro a month it's fun and a way of becoming familiar with new brands that you might not have heard of before.

Personally, I am going to subscribe, but I think I'll do it next month. Skip the hairspray and fingers crossed for something more exciting.

If you're interested sign up at Glossybox!
Or are you signed up to a monthly beauty box already? Let me know what your opinion is, are they worth it, what have you received?
Let me know sure :) !
