Glossybox - September

My Glossybox from october arrived several days ago, I will be posting Glossyboy - October very soon! But this post will be on that from the past month theehee.! If you don't know what "Glossybox" is, go check out THIS post. 

Now, what did I found in my Glossybox? :)

This time the box was green instead of pink. 

There was gift card inside. I get a 7,50 euro discount, only if I purchase stuff with a price over 40 euro's.

I'm still loving how it is packed in for you<3. 


And now for the products....

First product: CLINIQUE - HIGH IMPACT MASCARA
Translation: In seconds you can create long and voluminous lashes with this High Impact Mascara. Number ONE from Clinique. The texture provides a rich and intensive color, what will make your look irresistible. 
My opinion: I don't like it that much. I used it once and then gave it to my mom, lol. It is not what I am used to.

Second product: CAUDALIE - S.O.S. THIRST QUENSING SERUM
Translation: A hydrating bubble: This serum hydrates and restores the skin. After using your skin should feel soft and fresh.
My opinion: The first time i tried it, it felt quite good on my skin, but it did not really make a difference for me. It did't really felt like it hydrated my skin.

Third product: BROAER - VITAL OIL

Yes, yes I know what you are thinking. "What the hell have you done with that bottle?" - I broke it T__T.... It was early in the morning before I had to leave for school. I was in a hurry and it flooped out of my hand and shattered on the floor *SadFace*. Luckily I could still use what was not mixed up with glass. 

Translation: A multifunctional oil for every hair-type, hands and body. A combination of 5 oils from 5 different continents (argan-, jojoba, olive-, macadamia-, and soja oil.) will hydrate, feed, restore and give a gorgeous shimmer.
My opinion: I LOVE THIS! It smelled nice and it did his job. It really worked for my hair. I have curls and this stuff tamed my frizzy hair immediately.   

Fourth product: ROBERTO CAVALLI - EAU DE PARFUM (sorry for the bad picture)
Translation: Roberto Cavalli belongs to the flower and amber scent-family. It's a exuberant and sunny odor which leaves a authentic, strong character. It's lively and sensual, stimulating and hypnotizing at first contact. 
My opinion: I think it smells nice. Not a scents that I would pick out to use, but I would mind to get this as a present or something, haha. It's almost like an unisex scents.

Fifth product: JIL SANDER - SUN, EAU DE TOILETTE
Translation: The classic, timeless SUN odor immediately gives you a happy, summer feeling. A feeling of energy, vitality and warmth that is created by the scents of flowery/ amber-ish nuts. This can be used during sunbathing without discoloration of the skin.
My opinion: I like Roberto Cavalli better. Not that this one is bad, I like this smell too. Either way, I'm more into sweet scents. Those odor that you would like to eat.


Sixth product: GLOSSYBOX - NAIL FILE
Translation: This GLOSSYBOX nail file ensures you from perfectly formed nails, perfect for manicures. 
My opinion: Just your regular nail file. The color is cute and it works how it should work :).



Seventh product: ORANGE SOAP - ZEST
Translation: A fruity and fresh soap which smell like an orange, based on vegetal ingredients. 
My opinion: It looks very simple, even so for the packaging. It smell nice too. Haven't used it yet. If it's super good, I will let you now.

That were my products from that months box. I am still upset, because I dropped the Vital Oil on the ground. Too bad.. It was my favorite. I am really considering of buying that product.

I hope you enjoyed this post and maybe made you curious about some products :). My next GLOSSYBOX entry will be up soon! 

See you next time , byebyeeee~

WSJ: Drilling Process Attracts Scrutiny in Rig Explosion


(Gerald Herbert / The Associated Press)


Russel Gold & Ben Casselman of The Wall Street Journal:
An oil-drilling procedure called cementing is coming under scrutiny as a possible cause of the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico that has led to one of the biggest oil spills in U.S. history, drilling experts said Thursday.

The process is supposed to prevent oil and natural gas from escaping by filling gaps between the outside of the well pipe and the inside of the hole bored into the ocean floor. Cement, pumped down the well from the drilling rig, is also used to plug wells after they have been abandoned or when drilling has finished but production hasn't begun.

In the case of the Deepwater Horizon, workers had finished pumping cement to fill the space between the pipe and the sides of the hole and had begun temporarily plugging the well with cement; it isn't known whether they had completed the plugging process before the blast.

Regulators have previously identified problems in the cementing process as a leading cause of well blowouts, in which oil and natural gas surge out of a well with explosive force. When cement develops cracks or doesn't set properly, oil and gas can escape, ultimately flowing out of control. The gas is highly combustible and prone to ignite, as it appears to have done aboard the Deepwater Horizon, which was leased by BP PLC, the British oil giant.

Concerns about the cementing process—and about whether rigs have enough safeguards to prevent blowouts—raise questions about whether the industry can safely drill in deep water and whether regulators are up to the task of monitoring them.

The scrutiny on cementing will focus attention on Halliburton Co., the oilfield-services firm that was handling the cementing process on the rig, which burned and sank last week. The disaster, which killed 11, has left a gusher of oil streaming into the Gulf from a mile under the surface.

Federal officials declined to comment on their investigation, and Halliburton didn't respond to questions from The Wall Street Journal.

There are serious questions to be asked of Halliburton Co. and their unwillingness to talk to a source as reputable as the Wall Street Journal begs the question if indeed they do hold some serious level of responsibility in this recent oil drilling disaster.

Mad Money is Pumping Natural Gas and Jimmy Fallon is Hilarious

“Natural gas is 50% cleaner than oil.”
“Obama is going to need a bridge-fuel to get to solar and wind.”

- Jim Cramer, CNBC, May 21st, 2009

I agree that there is much need for a transition fuel in order to pragmatically address the energy crisis. In order to eventually cut the ties of foreign oil dependence our nation must take aggressive steps toward energy independence.

I throw my insignificant hat in ring in favor of Natural Gas over Clean Coal Technology or continued dependence on Big Oil.

America must kick it’s oil addiction but going cold turkey will only keep us in the cycle of foreign oil dependence.

Jim Cramer appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon prior to today’s broadcast. Jim explained his ’pre-game’ strategy for the show and how he maintains his energy level throughout the show. After elbow-bumping with him, Jimmy exclaimed:

“We are like the whitest gang in the world!”
- Jimmy Fallon, Comedian


BOO-YAH!
