Glossy Box - June

Howdy folks

I love having a nose at what everyone else got in their Glossy Box. I've not always been a fan of my contents in comparison, but I suppose that's the joy of it all? Erm maybe not, I still think a Universal box is a better option, but to be fair my last couple of boxes have been okay. This months I'm quite pleased with. Here's what I got.

Dermablend™ Ultra-Corrective Foundation Cream Stick (RRP  £19 / 12g) - Corrective concealer. Looks alright. I quite like heavy concealers as I have loads of freckles. Not really the most exciting sample, but I'll give it a go.

Glossybox Serie Exclusive Pro Beauty Brush (no price) - Another Glossy box product. Goes very well with last months mirror compact. Not the softest brush but I like that its something which will last.

Caudalie Eaux Fraiches Zeste de Vigne Fresh Fragrance (RRP £26 / 50ml) - Caudalie writes "combines the fragrance created by orange and lemon leaves when rubbed between the fingers with sparkling lemon, sweet orange and energizing mandarin". Good sample size, smells like lemon sherbet. Loving the Caudalie products so quite happy I got this.

BM Beauty Summer Warmth Bronzer (RRP £8.00 / 4g) - Liked the last BM product I got. Only thing with these that the powder goes everywhere when you open the pots. I like the fact that other loose powder brands usually have the protective lid with holes in to stop spillage. This is quite a nice shade, has a slight shimmer to it.  

MeMeMe Cosmetics Nail polish in Sensuous (RRP £4.50 / 12ml) - Yay I love getting mini polishes in beauty boxes (for obvious reasons). Not a massively 'high end' polish but I like Me Me Me products. The colour is okay, a very 'safe' shade that's not going to offend the less hardcore nail polish fans.

Overall yeah not a bad box. Nothing particularly offensive or horrendous in sight. I like all the products and I shall look forward to next months box.

Glossy Box - May Anniversary...Bald Eyebrows Anyone??

Hello Peoples

I have a confession! I signed back up to Glossy Box. I was missing my monthly fix of beauty products, so back on the Glossy Box bandwagon I went. Plus it was Glossy Box's Anniversary. Here's what I got...

Osmon Berber Hair Treatment (rrp £19.99 for 100mls) - This smells lush, like a bag of pic 'n' mix but nicer. Its apparently a treatment for dry and wet hair. Very much looking forward to using this.

Apivita Express Beauty Masks (rrp £3.50 per sachet) Looks okay, glad I got two sachets, I know others got a tube of mud mask, but I'm happy with the sachets...honestly *sigh*.

Noble Isle Summer Rising Bath and Shower Gel (rrp not stated) - This is another product which smells divine. A British bath and body brand inspired by the Bristish Isles. Look forward to taking this on holiday with me.

Lolita Lempicka L'Eau en Blan and Eau de Parfum (rrp £65, 100mls). These also smell sweet and summery. Glad to see two samples as these are usually free.

FREE Glossy Box Mirror - Nice touch Glossy Box, quite handy too.

HD Brows Grow Baby Grow (rrp £29.95 per tube) - Now this one made me raise a brow (excuse the bad pun). I was like huh what's this? Not the fact it was for the folically challenged in the brow department which confused me, some people do suffer from having sparse eyebrows due to over plucking, illness and the alike, however Glossy box stated the wrong info on the product card.

As you can see Glossy Box states Grow Baby Grow is for fine lines and to firm delicate skin, although this clearly designed for helping eyebrow growth on the HD brow info.

Overall I'm happy with this months box, I feel I've actually got my money's worth and all the products smell gorgeous. I know some people was unhappy with receiving false eyelashes made with real human hair, instead of the pricier HD brow products. Once again I think age has something to do with it...maybe those over a certain age stop wearing false eyelashes and start going brow bald?? No, on a serious note, I think Glossy Box should really consider having a universal box, as consumers are always going to think the glossy box is greener on the other side.

Whats in your box? Anything you like/dislike?

Not Impressed Glossy Box February

Hello Everyone

After the sudden departure of the Feelunique Beauty Box, I was worried I would get beauty box withdrawal symptoms. So I signed up for Glossy Box to gets my beauty box fix. It was more expensive then the Feelunique box as you have to pay postage on top of the £10.00 a month. I was willing to overlook that as the box promised '5 high end' samples each month.

Eyeshadow

Lip Tint

Included in this months box, was

BECCA- Beach Tint Watermelon
AWAPUHI WILD GINGER BY PAUL MITCHELL - Styling Treatment Oil
DR BRONNER'S MAGIC SOAPS - Lavender Hand Sanitiser
COMO SHAMBHALA - Invigorate Shower Gel
BM BEAUTY - Pure Mineral Eyeshadow in Her Majesty

Products were on the small side, and I wasn't impressed with the fact that I've seen on other reviews that some received a 6th product which did not (I think because of the age group). The worse thing for me was the hand sanitiser. I rarely swear on my blog, but believe me a few choice words were uttered when I saw this. Who the hell wants hand sanitiser! If I wanted to sign up for bacteria monthly I would have! seriously! So it's safe to say, while I haven't yet tried these products, I'm not impressed with this my first Glossy Box. 

I'm willing to give everyone a second chance. To be fair, the box was well presented and I received the box within a good time. I'm seeing if Glossy Box improves for March. If not then ta ta, no thanks.
