This Miners Lip Colour in the shade 'Dreamer' is a very pretty, pinky/purple, girly lipstick. There is a lot of shimmer in this, so if you only like or prefer matt shades, this probably isn't for you. After applying this though, the shimmer was quite subtle compared to what I thought it would have been like and made my lips feel very moisturised whilst I was wearing it. I did take a quick look on Miners Cosmetics website and they do sell matt shades in this product at only £3.99. Also as a little added fact, Miners Cosmetics are suppliers of Dancing on Ice, so if you liked any of the looks worn on the show you can most probably buy the products from their website. 

 Aside from the make up products in the box this month, I received a Anatomicals you need a blooming shower Body Cleanser (it's a bit of a mouthful, I know). The vibrant pinks and yellows on the tube/bottle caught my attention straight away and I was expecting the scent to reflect that, although it didn't. I love the rose scent however, and in my opinion I'd say it smells a lot like turkish delight. I haven't used it yet but can't wait to and I'm sure it will work just as good as it smells.

I've always envied those with naturally, super shiny hair and was very happy to find a Shine Spray in my box this month. After hearing endless great reviews on Sassoon, this also made it that even bit better. Just like it says it's meant to be, the spray was very light and left my hair shiny AND smooth. 

Overall, this month's glossybox has left me very happy and I've loved everything included in the box. 

Did you receive anything different in your box this month? What did you think of the 2013 Valentines Edition box?

In the past I've always loved wrapping gifts and adding ribbon, but after wrapping a whole load of presents I  lost all enjoyment in it and gladly handed the job over to my Mum. But last night, when I had nothing better to do, and instead of asking good old Mum to do it for me, I decided to wrap Jess' presents myself, and after a minute or two I began getting into it a bit too much and ended going OTT on the whole idea (although I was very happy with the outcome)!

Firstly, (being creative and all) I made some gift tags from parcel paper, stapled two sides together, and addressed each gift to my friend. I know it would have probably been a lot easier to just write on a bought gift tag, but why do it the easy way ? Not me, No.. I decided to cut it all out myself; the result was great, and personally I think it looked that little bit better than it would have if I used 'shop bought' tags.

After wrapping each of the smaller presents with distressed,white and pink, heart patterned paper, tying with ribbon and adding bows, I chose a different mirrored, metallic wrapping paper for the last present. It was going great until I didn't cut enough silver paper for the present and only realised this once I had wrapped the  paper around it. But me.. whilst I was in my creative mind set, I used the parcel paper to my advantage, covering a square of it in small "16's" and a great big one (Jess' age if you hadn't already guessed). And afterwards, this looked just as good too. I also used the same mirrored wrapping paper to cut Jess' name out  to stick on the envelope to her huuuuge card. 

I honestly don't know where we bought this wrapping paper from, however I'm sure paper similar to this and the parcel paper can be bought from Amazon or eBay!

I hope this post has given you a few ideas on Gift Wrapping, do you have any tips of your own?

I've never really found myself using shower or bath scrubs before but for Christmas I was given this by my friend Natalie (Natalie's thoughts). It's an 'I love.... shower smoothie' and I think you can purchase these from Wilkinsons. This one is mango & papaya scented which smells delicious! It's a lovely product to use and personally leaves my skin feeling really smooth. 

The bottle reads "The fruity fantastico. Feel scintillated as my tropical aromas of juicy mango infuse with sweet succulent papaya to leave your sense exotically exhilarated; believe me, you never thought fruits were so darn delicious."  

I will definitely be repurchasing this when it runs out, which won't be long now.
