April Glossybox 2013

Another great box from Glossybox this month. The box is so pretty, and there are some lovely products. 

Full sized Essie Nail Varnish - I really wanted Essie Cute as a button but I just couldn't justify buying it as I had already bought the boujois dupe after seeing it on Lily's blog. I'm so glad that I now have the Essie version as this doesn't have the micro glitter particles that the bourjois one has and I love the Essie Nailvarnish Brushes.

Sleek Blush in Pixie Pink - I already have this blush and I love it. Its such a pretty colour and I'm glad to have double now as I will pop this in my Make up kit.

Nip & Fab Mango body butter - This smells gorgeous. I'm really picky about Body butters as I can't stand the greasy feeling from thick/deep moisturising body butters. This one is for Dry skin so it is very moisturising but it will be great for me to use in the winter for dry hands/elbows and knee's.

Yves Rocher So Elixir Purple - I love little perfume bottles, this is a floral woody smell, not something that I would normally go for but it's ok for an everyday scent.

Sun Sense Daily face - SPF50 - This will be good to try out in the summer.

Glossybox March 2013

This months Glossybox has to be my favourite yet. I love the look of everything this month!

I picked up about 5 Eight hour creams a couple of years ago when they were on sale in Superdrug for 99p each, so I know its something I love and will use. This is the perfect size to pop into my make up bag so I can use on the go.

I love the dusky pink nails inc nailvarnish, it's not a colour that I would normally go for but it's such a pretty colour on the nails and I can see myself repurchasing the full version if I use this all up.

I'm excited to try the L'Occitane cream, there was a lot of hype about this product when it was released and has some pretty bold claims - skin is 87% smoother and 78% younger looking after just one use! I'm not sure I need to look much younger as I still get ID'd for the lottery but still, prevention is always nice!

I tested the jelly pong pong lip balm/stain straight away and It's a lovely colour, consistency and comes out surprisingly pigmented on the lips. It's a really nice balm stain and has lasted well so far on my lips!

I'm so happy with this months Glossybox, it also came with a small travel magazine which shows you must see places to travel and has cute little stickers inside.

Valentines Glossybox

This months Glossybox was themed for Valentines day, the themed boxes are always my favourite and this one didn't disappoint!
The box is lovely, it's so pretty that I'll definitely be using this as storage for something!

My favourite product this month is the Docteur Renaud Raspberry soft cream, the ingredients are pretty good, it's parabin free and you can buy it easily at M&S. It's quite natural and leaves my skin feeling so soft.

Modelco Eyeshadow Palette - I love the colours of these Modelco eyeshadows, however it has quite big glitter particles that fall out and I don't think the colours are very well pigmented.

Anatomical Shower Gel - My boyfriend has already claimed this as he likes the smell and the packaging! I have far too many shower gels and i'm not too keen on the ingredients so thats fine with me!

Helen-e Cosmetics - This lipstick is really creamy but I'm not keen on the colour. I got the colour Sienna, which is a deep plumb/brown which just really doesn't suit me. It's a good colour to have so i'll keep it in my make up kit and I'm sure I'll get some use out of it.

Micabella cosmetics Blush in Siera Suede- This is my second favourite product, such a pretty colour!

November Glossybox

Again, Glossybox seem to be back on track with another good box this month. I know Perfume samples are either a bit of a hit or miss and although I normally don't like perfume samples, I really like miniature versions of the actual bottle. You get more product and the bottles look really cute among my other perfumes!

I'm really excited to try the Dermalogica Microfoliant as I've read really good reviews on it. It's a powder that you put on wet hands to make a paste that you massage on to your face after cleansing. It gently exfoliates skin to make it smoother and brighter.

The Ayuui Indian Rose face cream is full sized which is really good however it smells very fragranced and is only normally £4.95 for this big bottle. My skin has been really sensitive recently so I'm not sure whether the ingredients/fragrance will be the best for my skin but I'll give it a go and hopefully it will be ok.

Alison Claire Mango Body butter - This is 70% Organic and has Mango butter, Aloe vera and Green Tea in it. This smells like Starburst or Hubba bubba - soo good! 

Nails Inc Caviar Top coat - I love my Sally Hansen Insta-dri but I also love nails Inc Nailvarnish so I'm excited to try this.

October Glossybox

This months Glossybox theme is DIY beauty, 5 products for a pampering night in. I really like this months box and will definitely be using them for a cosy night in! 

My favourite product this month is the Sally Hansen complete salon manicure. Apart from it being a gorgeous autumny red/brown and being called 'Haute chocolate' it's meant to be a 5 step manicure in just one bottle! It is a base coat, strengthener, growth treatment, colour and top coat all in one. This sounds amazing. I can never usually be bothered to treat my nails and aside from using jessica nail oil I never use any other treatments or base coats on my nails. This lets me do everything in one easy step. Perfect. I will definitely be looking to get some more colours if it works!

I'm really excited to try the skinetica anti blemish as it doesn't contain too many ingredients and claims to be "kind to skin". Again perfect as my skin is getting drier due to the colder weather! 

The Yves Rocher moisturiser also sounds great, enriched with Hyaluronic acid which is good for helping your skin absorb and retain moisture. 

All in all a really good box, even though Glossybox has had a few 'meh' boxes recently I'm glad I stuck with it and I'm so so excited for the november and Christmas box!

Glossybox May Anniversary Box

Happy Birthday Glossybox!

As Glossybox were celebrating their 1st Anniversary, I was really looking forward to getting my Glossybox this month. I'm happy with the products I got and I love the glossybox mirror and balloon which I think is such a cute touch! 

I did think back to the first ever Glossybox with the full sized Nars illuminator and would have loved another 'wow' product to celebrate this month, however the some of the past Glossyboxes have been really good and it is great value considering the moisturiser alone is £12!

I'm really excited to try the Neils Yard Moisturiser as my mum uses a lot of Neils Yard products and has amazing skin! I don't tend to splash out on moisturiser so it will be interesting to try. The collection gel eyeliner looks nice, although I'm not too sure about the brush, I love the maybelline eyeliner and brush so it will be good to compare them!

I also got a couple of perfume samples which smell nice, but I never really use perfume samples so i'm sure they'll end up with the rest at the back of my cupboard! The Noble isle bath and shower gel also smells good, quite manly so I'm sure my bf will be using it too!

Did everyone like what they got?

April Glossybox

Spring is in the air...

...Ok, so maybe not as April showers are still in full force but Glossybox have fully embraced Spring and earth day with their Natural Beauty Box this month!

I love Natural, Organic products and although everything in this months Eco friendly Box is not completely natural, it's a great idea and there are some pretty good products!

My favourite is the Inka Peacock pencil eyeliner, it's the creamiest eyeliner formula i've ever tried and I love the intensity of the colour.

The only downside for me is the fact that the box is biodegradable, I store my make up in old Glossyboxes but I'm guessing I wont be able to with this one!

What do you think of this months box? xx

Products I got:

- Caudalie Serum  

- Inka Eyeliner 

- Monu Collagen cream

- Figs & Rouge Lip Balm

- Burts Bee's Body Lotion

March Harrods Glossybox

March's Glossybox:

I was so excited to get this box, the postman even asked me what it was as he had delivered so many! 

Overall I'm really happy with my box this month. I was a bit disappointed with the perfume size sample as it seems all the other perfume samples this month were in a cute glass bottle - this is a standard tiny plastic spray tube!

The YSL serum looks amazing, I think it might be meant for older skin but I still can't wait to try it! The burberry lipstick is in the shade rosewood which looks quite dark but is a pretty color. 

Whenever I think about cancelling my subscription, Glossybox put out a really good box! I think I'll stay put with Glossybox for the moment, Ican't wait to see what they have next month!

Did anyone else get Glossybox this month?

February Glossybox

I've read a lot of blog posts about this months Glossybox and I agree it is a little disappointing, however although all the products are sample sized, it is a sample box and I was so impressed with december and januarys boxes that it hasn't put me off. 
I've got the big version of the Dr Bronners soap, its great for washing make up brushes so this will be a useful travel sized bottle, I will probably use the BM eyeshadow for a smoky eye and Duwop gloss but I dont have curly hair so I wont use the Paul Mitchell curl definer and I've got so many body lotions now i'm not sure if i will really use this one.
I've seen sneak peeks of the mystery box (next months box) and I think it looks pretty exciting so I'm continuing my subscription for now, but with so many other beauty boxes out there I am getting tempted to try another one!

January Glossybox - 'Valentines edition'

I'd seen this months bright pink Glossybox all over twitter and instagram and so couldn't wait to get mine! I had also caught sight of a few previews of this Glossybox and was So excited to see that some boxes contained the Clarins moisturisers as I had wanted to try these for ages!

December's box was a hard box to follow, but I think I actually prefer this one. I love almost everything in this box, the only thing I'm not sure about is the body moisturiser.

I wasn't sure whether I was going to continue to subscribe to Glossybox this year, but after this box I'm definitely keeping my subscription and I can't wait to get my next box!

Has anyone else got theirs yet? I love reading Glossybox posts!

December Glossybox

I always have a sneek peek of other blogs to see what the products are before I get my glossybox, so I was really excited about getting my festive red box this month!

I was most excited about getting the Deborah Lipman Nail in Razzle Dazzle, I'll be painting my nails this colour for Christmas day - It's so sparkly!
I really wanted this Eyeshadow and blush from blink & go, in the reviews that I read on other blogs, the colours were more neutral - the colours in mine are a bit bright for everyday wear! I would have preferred the neutral palette but I can use these colours in Make up looks and the blushes look more wearable.

Really happy with this months box, it was nice to get a full sized rituals shower gel and I feel there are a good selection of products this month!

October Glossybox

I'm really impressed with this months Glossybox, I feel that the majority of the products included are well known and really good quality. 
Im not sure how I feel about the 3 Dermalogica products, I'm really interested to try them however 3 samples of 1 brand isn't really that much variety. I think the fact that they are 'Age smart' products is also adding to my 'omg im 25 next month' quater life crisis im going through at the moment lol!
The think the pink and red perfume samples smell lovely, im not sure about the yellow, it isnt really my taste but im sure other people may like it :)


My Favourite product is definately the Stila eyeliner, It is Such a pretty colour irl and it is the most smudgeproof liner that I have ever seen! This is the one product so far that I would repurchase when it runs out. 

I love reading other Glossybox or other boxes reviews so if you have done one please let me know below! I love seeing what everyone's got and thinks about them!

September Glossybox

I was sooo excited to receive my first glossybox this month, it's like getting a lil present delivered!! 

I had a cheeky look at the september products on other blogs before receiving my glossybox and now comparing them with mine, I think there were some better boxes with more full sized products out there but I'm still so happy to get the HD Brow kit and I really like the look of the little hair oil!

Has anyone else received theres yet?
