BLANK CANVAS: F20 Buffer Brush

First up is the Blank Canvas 

F20 brush. When I see that

this was one of the five products included in this

months GlossyBox I was very excited. Anybody who is

familiar with Blank Canvas will know that this is one of their holy grail brushes. I have been dying to try it for a good while and was actually going to purchase it a few months ago, lucky for me I didn't! For anybody who is not aware of Blank Canvas, they are an online cosmetic store, they are popular for their brushes and once you try one you will see why, they are also Irish (I like to try and support local Irish businesses when I can)I will link their website at the end of this post for anybody interested. I used this brush to apply liquid foundation and I have to say I was really impressed, it gave my foundation a lovely flawless finish. Another thumbs up was the fact that no hairs have shedded from the brush, sometimes when trying a new brush I find they can shed a lot for the first few days but this has not happened with this brush. I also love the pink handle, it's easy to spot in my bag, brush pot and who doesn't love pink?! 

 
UTAN: Nourshing Night Creme

The next product I am going to talk you through is a gradual face tan. I am a big fan of face tans as I feel they can take your fake tan from a dodgy face-neck line to looking like you have just stepped off a plane from a week of being in the sun. As I had never heard of this tan I decided to look into it a little closer, it is a UK based tanning company founded by a woman called Lady Mone. They develop tan that will tan and tone the body. After reading this I was looking forward to testing the tan. My first impression was the smell, there is  no fake tan smell of the lotion. It applies very easily onto the face however  ensure you wash your hands after applying so you do not wake up with orange palms. It is like applying a moisturizer and I felt my skin did not feel dry or dehydrated after applying this which can sometimes happen. I decided to apply this at night time and the next morning I woke up with a lovely glow. I tend to like darker face tans than this one however I think for holidays or for somebody who likes a natural glow to the face this would be suited. In saying this if you apply the lotion every night before bed time you will be left with a nice golden face tan.  

Hawaiian Tropic Lipgloss 

I was excited to see this 

included in this months GlossyBox as I am trying to use more SPF into my skincare routine. This SPF lip gloss will be perfect for sunny days in Ireland and when I am on holidays in September. The flavour is a berry flavour and smells so nice it actually tastes quite nice as well! Although I am sure you are not supposed to eat it! The only thing I was not happy about with this product was the colour of the lip gloss I tend to prefer more nude colours, however after trying it on the colour is not too dark and it will come in useful on holidays as mentioned before. 

Overall I was happy with this months GlossyBox, well done on another great box GlossyBox, I am looking forward to Augusts already :)
