Glossybox Canada November 2012

It's that time of the month when i receive a little surprise in the mail, and let me tell you this month is a BIG surprise. My first impression when i picked up my packgage was, wow its heavy and got excited from there. So without further ado here's what's in the november box.

First thing is a glossy mag Gift Guide.

This month box is wrap in winter paper white and red. Pretty adorable.

Then inside of the box with 5 full size items and 1 sample size.

First thing out of the box is a Uber loyalty card that gives you 50% off all online purchases exclusives to golssybox members.

Then a sample kit of Nexxus Shampoo and Conditioner hydration kit. I tried Nexxus product before i liked it so im happy to try some more .

Then a Vitabath Spa skin treatment moisturizing for the bath and shower. Which is full size at 170g, it has a scented fragrance which i dont really mind, i never heard of vitabath so im excited to try it out.

This product couldnt have come at a better time. Its freezing now and cold makes my hand and cuticules dry so this hand cream by Curel will be used often. It also has a scented fragrance like citrusy atleast. It is full size at 100 ml.

Then comes an Nicole by OPI Kardashian nail polish, i love nail polish and always happy to grow my collection. This shade is a festive gold glittery one. Its also a full size.

Then kryolan for glossybox blusher in glossy pink. nothing special about this blush but its a nice color. Its full size

A sweet little addition a candy cane. My son finished it in couple minutes!

Finally the last product but not the least. A Maybelline MNY MY GLOSS. IM in love with this gloss, the texture and smell of it is amazing. The color not so much for my complexion but mixed with a lip gloss it will be perfect.

All in all im more then impressed with the November glossybox and dont regret paying more for it. I am discovering different brand of make up and it is bringing me outside of my comfort zone.

Thumbs up Team Glossybox.

Getting ready for vacation!!!

Im so excited , we have been playing with the idea of going somewhere again this winter and its finally official. My lil family plus 15 other family member are going somewhere really hot and relaxing in january insha allah, my excitement can barely be contain. It will be our first vacation with the kids so its going to be a lot different and way more baggage, thats where my organization skills comes handy. Im the queen of list which is not always fun for my hubby :). Heres a great list i found for travelling with kids from this website : it litterally has everything your baby or toddler will need on the plane and during vacation.

I purchased an umbrella stroller which will be necessary with a baby and can be gate checked like this one

Then a small carry-on for my son which im really excited to receive. He will be able to ride the carry-on while we wait in the aeroport, so it will be practical for him and us.

Those are the big items i (wanted) needed to purchase the rest is all small stuff, i gotta figure out milk wise, i dont know if i should trust the milk where we are going a lot of people suggested bringing powder milk which i dont mind i grew up on aano Nido haha. Thats my main concern right now but

Im excitedddddddd, did i say that already????!!

Getting ready for winter

And queue winter. We actually had a little bit of snow falling yesterday. its good i guess since i went shopping for a winter coat, not an easy task when you have a specific idea in your head but nothing close to your idea in stores. I settle at the end for Attitude By Jay Emmanuel from sears, its a nice looking and really thick coat to protect me from the canadian winter.

Im hoping i wont need it for another month , but who am i kidding haha.

Time change Canada

Dont forget everyone to turn your clocks back 1 hour tonight. That for me represent winter is coming and im not happy !!! I should be use to it by now it has been 20 years ive been living here, but no i still hate winter and being forced inside its depressing and not fun at all. I love the first snow but after that im over it and my countdown to spring starts hahaha. I wish i was more of a winter outdoorsy person that would be skying, skating etc but sadly that characteristic was passed down to my sister not me.

Summer time tho i catch up and try to be outside everyday, every chance i get i will jump on it.
Only if winter were shorter and summer longer !! # wishful thinking!
