Hello on this very lovely day :)
Finally the sun has decided to show its face and bless us with the heat!
Today I received my first beauty box from Glossybox after waiting all day to receive it. I've heard a lot of mixed opinions on Glossybox and have been 'umming and arghing' on whether or not to subscribe to them just because of this mixed opinion on but decided to give them ago and make my own opinion on them. When i subscribe there was an offer where you could get an eco or Harrods box for free which was a right bargain!
If you don't know what Glossybox is its a service which you subscribe to for £10 plus £2.95 for P&P. Every month they send you a cute box with 5 high end samples in (most of the time you receive a full size product too). You can then treat yourself to all your lovely products in the comfort of your own home :)
The box comes in a lovely black carboard box covering with the Glossybox symbol all over it (no sneaking this box in without it being seen ha). The actual beauty box is a high quailty pink box with the logo on the front.
The inside of the box is black with the logo all over it (no chance in forgetting who it's from). You get black tissue paper, a sticker logo and a lovely burnt pink colour ribbon.
Once you get to the good stuff it will be sat apon a bed on the crisscross paper (the dust from it does get everywhere) and the \Information list of all the products.
The first product you get is Collin Resultime Regenerating Collagen Gel 15ml, the full size is 50ml for £47.25. Its a multitasking gel containing 15 key skin molecules, it can be used daily as a serum or sleep mask leaving the skin feeling bright and refreshed. It took a bit of rubbing in to absorb into the skin and smells very floral.
The second product is Awapuhi Wild Ginger Texturizing Sea Spray 25ml, the full size is 150ml for £18.95. This is a surf inspired spray which adds texture and body to create a tousled, beach babe style when applied. This smells just like ginger, which I love and I'm so excited to try because I love discoving new hair products.
The third product is the Monu Extra Rich Night Cream 20ml, the full size is 50ml for £36.95. This is a luxurious night cream which will leave the skin feeling intensively nourished and firm when you wake. When I smelt this I couldn't make out what it smelt like but I really don't like the smell. Its quite thick to apply but absorbs into the skin quickly. Hopefully I'll get over the smell because I'm interested in trying it as it's so expensive.
The fourth product is a full size Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics Lip frosting and retails at £10 for 15ml. Its a cream gloss that doesn't just add a tint of colour to the lips, it can also be applied to the cheeks as well. I also have an issue with the smell of this product too, its really sweet smelling and reminds me of cheap play make up. However I love the colour of it and it's not thick or sticky, it looks great on the cheeks too as it give a natural flushed look.
The firth product is another full size Kryolan Satin Powder 3g and it retails at £4.75. This is a shimmer pigment which you can use to create an extraordinary shimmer eye. I absolutely love this colour and I know I will use this a lot and even repurchase it! It can be used in the day blended into another colour and it can be used as a night time look by building up it up.
In this box you also received a bonus product which is the Elizabeth Arden's Visible Difference Skin Balancing Exfoliating Cleanser, Optimizing Skin Serum and SPF 15 lotion. The Elizabeth Arden Visable Difference Skin Balancing range works to keep skin looking revitalized and healthy.
I'm really happy with this box and glad I decided to subscribe. I'm really looking forward to my free box and expect to see a review :)
