My November 'The Glossy Wishlist' Glossybox

Hello Lovelies,

I received my November Glossybox yesterday and wanted to share with you what I got this month. I have always been really pleased with what I have received in my Glossyboxes but the last two months I haven’t been as excited.

The Theme for this month’s Glossybox is 'The Glossy Wishlist' and I think Glossybox chose the products for this month's box from things on their wishlists for this time of year?

Here is what I got this month…..

Vichy Idealia Life Serum – 2 x 3ml and Vichy Idealia - 1 x 3ml

I haven’t tried these before but I have used other things from Vichy and really liked them, so I was pleased to see this inside my box. They are described as ‘an all-round skin saviour’ and I am really looking forward to trying these. I really liked that these came in a cute pink drawstring bag and in fact it is probably my favourite item this month.

Emite Make Up Micronized Eyeshadow in Dams - 1.48g

This eyeshadow is suitable for sensitive eyes and gives an ‘even and lasting result’. I always like when I receive makeup items in a Glossbox and I think I would have been more happy to see this if I had received a different colour, because I don’t really wear black eyeshadow much, but I may try using this as a smoky liner.

Yves Rocher France Cocoa & Pistachio Nut Hand Cream - 75ml

Hand cream is something I seem to have a lot of and never use up, so I wasn’t so pleased to have received this. However it smell really nice so I will probably use this and just hope it is a hand cream that absorbs quickly, because I really don’t like ones that leave your hands sticky. I may keep it on my desk at work so I remember to use it. 

Elegant Touch Rapid Dry for Nails -125ml

This spray claims to dry your nail polish in 60 seconds as well as condition your cuticles. I already have this product and don’t use it that often, because I've never been that impressed with it. However after talking to some bloggers on Twitter who recommended it I will try and use it more to give it another chance and at least now I have another one when the one I already have runs out.

B. Long-lasting Nail Polish in 180 Midnight - 8ml

This claims to be a long lasting nail polish that has a ‘high-shine finish’ and at the moment I paint my nails at least twice a week because I find having them painted makes them grow better and I love trying new nail polishes. Initially when I saw this I wished I had received a different colour, because it is not one I would normally choose, however after looking at some swatches of it online I am coming round to it more and I guess the whole point of things like Glossyboxes is you get to try things you wouldn't normally and you might like them.

Overall I wasn't that excited with this month’s Glossybox but I think that is partly because after reading what other people received I would have preferred to receive some of the other things included in Glossyboxes this month or the eyeshadow and nail polish in different shades. 

What did you get in your Glossybox this month? Leave me your link as a comment if you have posted about yours.

My April Glossybox

I received my April Glossybox at the end of last week and was really pleased with what was included, so wanted to share it with you. 

I have been subscribed to Glossybox since December and am always excited when they arrive to see what is inside.

The actual box this month was a special edition box designed by Pearl Lowe and is a gorgeous floral design. These boxes are great to store things in and I would love to see some more special edition pretty box designs like this. 

The theme for April is Spring Fever and I received the following:

Sunsense Daily Face SPF – 10g

I have not heard of this product before but it looks like it is a sheer tinted moisturiser and with a SPF of 50+, so will be perfect for summer and I am looking forward to trying it.

NIP + FAB Mango Smoothie Dry Skin Fix Body Butter – 50ml

I love using body butters and this smells amazing so I cannot wait to try this.

Yves Rocher So Elixir Purple Eau de Parfum – 5ml

I am normally not so impressed with perfume samples in Glossyboxes because the ones I have received before were small vials, but this is 5ml and in a really cute little bottle. This is described as an ‘intoxicating and magnetic fragrance’ and is quite a strong fragrance, but smells really nice. 

Sleek Makeup Blush in Pixie Pink – 8g (full size)

Earlier this month I bought my first Sleek Makeup Blush and have loved using that, so I was excited to see this in the box. It’s a gorgeous colour and I can’t wait to try it.

Essie Nail Lacquer in Nice is Nice – 13.5ml (full size)

I was excited to see this, as I have not tried any Essie products before. I love the colour and tried this straight away. I am really impressed with it, normally I find when I apply nail polish it tends to chip after a day or two, but this lasted about 3 days without chipping. I will definitely be trying some more colours. 

If you are interested in trying one of these, you can find out more here: Glossybox

I would love to hear what you received in your Glossybox this month and if you received the same things I did what you think of them.

Thank you for reading :)
