My February 'Be Mine' Glossybox

Hello Lovelies,

I received my February Glossybox last week and after the disappointing January box I was hoping this month’s would be better and it was! In fact it was probably one of the best Glossyboxes I have received recently. Earlier this month I received an email and survey from Glossybox and it seems they have listened to the feedback they received about the January box and made an effort with this month’s box. Glossybox chose some lovely products for this month's box and I was really impressed they included three full size products and an extra little treat!

The theme for this month’s Glossybox is 'Be Mine’ and the actual box is a special Valentines Day Box. I think it is a nice touch when the boxes are different to the usual pink ones.


Here is what I got this month…..


Ciaté London Paint Pot in Red Hot Chili – 13.5ml
I love Ciaté Paint Pots and this is a gorgeous bright red colour, that will be perfect for spring/summer, so I was really pleased when I saw this included in my Glossybox.


NV Chunky Lip Crayon in Sugar Rush – 4g
I hadn't heard of this Brand before, but I love products like this and this Lip Crayon is a lovely shimmery bright baby pink colour. I think this will be really nice for spring time and I'm looking forward to trying it.


Giovanni Eco Chic Cosmetics - 2x 4.4ml and 1 x 7.4ml
Giovanni Eco Chic is a natural haircare brand and I received a sachet of Ultra-Moist Leave-In Conditioning & Styling Elixir, a sachet of Ultra-Moist Super Potion Anti Frizz Binding Serum and a sachet of Ultra-Sleek Hair & Body Super Potion. I haven't tried any products from this Brand before and I am looking forward to giving these a try. 



Nougat London Sparkling Body Shimmer - 100ml
This is a body lotion with a hint of shimmer that smells gorgeous. I wouldn't usually use a product like this, but I think it might look nice in the summer when I have a bit of a tan and it smells really nice, so I will try it.


Maybelline New York Big Eyes Mascara - 4.7ml and 5ml
This mascara has a double brush, one for your top lashes and a smaller one for your bottom lashes, which help you create ‘an all-around eye-opening effect’. I was really excited to see this included in my Glossybox, because I was going to buy this anyway.


As an extra treat for Valentine’s Day Glossybox included a Lindt Lindor Treat Bar, which I thought was a really nice little extra.

Overall I am really really pleased with what I received this month and think Glossybox have definitely turned things around since last month’s box and I hope next month’s box is just as good.

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

My January 'Back to Basics' Glossybox

Hello Lovelies,

I received my January Glossybox earlier this week and I always look forward to it arriving and seeing what is inside, but this month I was quite disappointed with what was inside mine. The Theme for this month’s Glossybox is 'Back to Basics' and the Glossybox Team have chosen 'simple essentials' for this box.

The actual box this month was the same pink colour as the usual ones, although it looks a bit glossier and is bigger than the usual ones. The ribbon inside has also been changed and now has Glossybox and the Glossybox symbol printed on it.


Here is what I got this month…..


Yu-Be Moisturising Skin Cream - 2 x 3g
This is a 'multi-use' moisturising cream that can be used on really dry skin including your face and lips. I hadn't heard of this brand or product before and it isn't something I would normally buy, but I will give it a try. 

Balance Me Super Toning Body Wash - 50ml
This Body Wash has 'juniper, bergamot, geranium and lavender essential oils' in it and unfortunately I really don't like the smell of it, so I think I will see if a friend or one of my sisters likes the smell and I'll give it to them. 

The Vintage Cosmetic Company Floral Slanted Tweezers
These tweezers have a gorgeous floral pattern on them and are probably my favourite thing in this month's Glossybox, although I already have a few pairs of tweezers, so didn't really need another. 


Anatomicals Puffy The Eye Bag Slayer Wake-Up Under Eye Patches - 2 sachets
I've tried a few Anatomical things before, but hadn't heard of these. They 'help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and revitalise the delicate skin around your eyes'. I haven't tried any eye patches before am intrigued to see how these work, so will give them a try.

Vaseline Essential Moisture Clean Feeling Lotion - 50ml
I was a bit disappointed to see this in my Glossybox, because I thought the samples in Glossyboxes were supposed to be high end ones and I wouldn't say Vaseline was high end. Although moisturisers like this are always handy so I am sure I will use this. 

Overall I am not very excited about what I received in my Glossybox this month and after speaking to other people on Twitter I realised that I am not the only one who was disappointed with this month’s Glossybox. I really hope Glossybox do better next month or I may have to cancel my subscription, particularly as my Birchboxes have been so good recently.

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

My December 'Festive Treasures' Glossybox

Hello Lovelies,

I received my December Glossybox earlier this week and wanted to share with you what I got this month. The Theme for this month’s Glossybox is 'Festive Treasures' and the Glossybox Team have chosen products for this box to help us get ready for the festive season and keep us looking glam all month.

The actual box this month is different to the usual pink ones and is a lovely red Christmas design  and the tissue inside is red with candy canes on. I think it is really nice when Glossybox have boxes that are different designs to the usual ones and I love this one!




Here is what I got this month…..


Beautiful Movements Cosmetics Nude Lip Gloss - 4ml
This is a lovely nude lip gloss that is quite sheer and would suit a lot of complextions. It says it is non sticky and it isn't as sticky as some lip glosses can be, but I think it feels a little sticky, but it also feels really moisturising. This doesn't really have a scent and I think I would probably like it a bit more if it did. 


Wilkinson Sword Intuition Naturals Razor - Sensitive Care
This razor has a soap bar around the blade that lathers and moisturisers as you use it, so you don't need to use shaving gel or anything like that with it. I have used these sorts of razors before but can't remember whether I liked them or not and I am looking forward to giving this a try. 


Maybelline New York Brow Drama Sculpting Mascara in Medium Brown - 7.6ml
This brow mascara allows you to sculpt your brows to give your a fuller look. If I define my eyebrows I tend to use powder and wax and haven't used a brow mascara before and I am intrigued to try this. 


Seche Nail Lacquer in Scorchin' Hot - 14ml
This is a gorgeous bright red colour and perfect for Christmas time. I already have a Seche Nail Polish that I received in a Glossybox last year and I really like it, so I was really pleased to see this inside.


Bee Nature Natural Soap with Honey 
When I opened my Glossybox the smell of this was the first thing I noticed and it smells really nice. I do not usually use soap because I can find it drying and prefer to use body wash or shower gel, but this one has 'a base of honey and poppy seeds' and it helps exfoliate and moisturise your skin, so I will give this a try. 


Overall I am happy with this month's Glossybox and really like it when you receive full size products and three of this month's products are full size ones. I saw that some people got Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr Eye Shadows and I have been wanting to try those so I would have liked to have one of those inside, but I am looking forward to trying the Brow Mascara.

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.

My October 'Dark Romance' Glossybox

Hello Lovelies,

I have been so busy with different things recently I have been neglecting my Blog again :( Anyway today I wanted to share with you what I received in my October Glossybox.

The Theme for this month’s Glossybox is ‘Dark Romance’ and I had seen references to this on Facebook and Twitter before my Glossybox arrived. To me this theme made me think of dark reds and berry colours and I was hoping that I would get a nail polish or lip product in these sorts of colours and was really looking forward to seeing what was inside.

The box this month was one of the usual pink ones and I think with the theme of ‘Dark Romance' it would have been nice if the box was a dark berry colour.

Here is what I got this month…..


MeMeMe Cherub’s Blush – Cheek & Lip Tint – 12ml
This is the only full size product I got this month and I wasn't that excited to see it. Mainly because I have a couple of products like this already that I don’t use much and so I don’t think I will use this much, because I don’t really like using this sort of product on my cheeks, although it does look a nice colour in the bottle so maybe I will give it a try and use it on my lips. 

Katy Perry Killer Queen Eau De Parfum - 1.5ml
I was a bit divided on this when I saw it, because I do actually really like the smell of this, but I don’t think little samples like this that you can get free from perfume counters should be included in Glossyboxes. However I will use this and because it is so small it is a good size to keep in your bag. 

Monu Illuminating Primer - 20ml
I have received something from this brand before in a previous Glossybox but I can’t remember much about it so I can’t have been that impressed. However this Primer claims ‘to brighten the complexion, add instant sheen and enhance your natural radiance’, which really appeals to me, so I will try this and hopefully it will live up to it’s claims.

Premae Harmony Moisturising Smoothie Serum - 20ml
This was the item I was most pleased to see, because I am a big fan of Premae’s Harmony Moisturising Creme Balm which I blogged about here. This serum is for combination skin which is perfect for my skin type and it ‘helps soothe redness and hydrate skin, whilst keeping it matte and shine free’ and I am really looking forward to using this. I think this sample is quite a good size too, because the full size product is  50ml.

Eva Cosmetics Mystic Diamond Argon Oil - 6ml
This is an argon hair oil that contains real diamond powder and I like using hair oils, so I will use this. I did receive this in a recent Birchbox (which I blogged about here) so I wasn't so excited to see this inside my Glossybox this month, but if I hadn't recently received a sample of this I think I would have been happier to see it inside my Glossybox. I haven't tried my other sample yet, so hopefully I'll really like it as I now have two.

Overall I wasn't that excited with this month’s Glossybox and it is definitely not one of my favourite ones I was also a bit disappointed with the theme, because I am not sure how much the products I got fit the ‘Dark Romance’ theme?

NOTD - Ciaté London Paint Pot in Island Hopping

Hello Lovelies,

Today I have a NOTD Post for you and my NOTD is Ciaté London Paint Pot in Island Hopping. I received this in my July Glossybox and loved the colour instantly. It is a gorgeous red/dark orange colour with lots of gold shimmer.


This nail polish is quite thick and I was really impressed with how well it applied, it applied really smoothly and evenly. I absolutely love this colour and wore it a lot in the summer, but I think it will also be really nice around Christmas time. I love that the Ciaté Paint Pots have a satin bow on the front, I think that makes them really cute.

In the photo I have applied a base coat of Rimmel’s Nail Rescure, then two coats of the Ciaté Paint Pot followed by a coat of No. 7's Stay Perfect Top Coat.

Have you tried any of Ciaté Paint Pots? Did you get one in your July Glossybox?

Thanks for reading :)

My September ‘The London Edition’ Glossybox

Hello Lovelies,

I love seeing what other people get in their Glossyboxes, so today I wanted to share with you what I received in my September Glossbox.

The Theme for this month’s Glossybox is ‘The London Edition’ with products chosen to celebrate London Fashion Week and great British Style. I really like the design of this month’s box and think it’s really nice when the boxes aren’t the usual pink ones.


Included with this month’s Glossybox was GB Mag, which is a new edition to Glossyboxes and I think is a lovely little extra. It is similar to the magazine you get with Birchboxes with short features and articles that you can flick through and read when you have a few minutes. 


Here is what I got this month…..


Eylure Pre-Glued Lashes
I sometimes wear lashes for nights out and so was pleased to see these were in my Glossybox. I haven’t tried pre-glued ones before because I wasn't sure they would stay on as well as lashes you use glue with, but I will give these a try.

Toni&Guy Classic Shine Gloss Serum - 30ml
This packaging for this has a limited edition design, which I think is quite nice. This claims to control frizz with lightweight shine and is a full size product and it is always nice to get full size products in a Glossybox. I use serums on my hair sometimes so this will definitely get used.

Be A Bombshell Eye Liner in Onyx - 3ml
This is an eye liner with a felt tip end that can be used to draw a thin or thick line and it claims to last all day. I haven’t heard of this brand or product before, but I like using eye liner pens like this, so this is perfect for me.

Elizabeth Arden Untold Eau De Parfum – 5ml
I was really pleased when I saw that this perfume sample wasn't a small vial, instead it is in a gorgeous miniature bottle, that is the perfect size to carry in your bag. This is described as a ‘modern floral fragrance’ and I really like it, so will definitely use it.



Dr Lipp Original Nipple Balm for Lips - 3ml
This is a ‘versatile healing and nourishing multipurpose SOS balm’ that claims to leave ‘lips smooth and soft with a glossy sheen’. I haven’t tried this before, but as the weather gets colder my lips always need something like this, so I was really pleased that it was included in my Glossybox.

Overall I am really pleased with what I received this month, all the products are products I will use and can’t wait to try.

My August 'Highflyers' Glossybox

Hello Lovelies, 

I saw some posts and tweets last weekend about what people had received in their August Glossyboxes, so before mine arrived I had an idea of what might be inside and I was looking forward to it arriving. Mine arrived on Tuesday and I thought I would share with you what I got. 


The Theme for this month's Glossybox is Highflyers and the products inside were chosen 'for the girl on the go' and they are from different places around the world, including the USA, Sweden, the UK and Brazil. The box wasn't a special one and was just the usual pink colour, with black tissue inside. 


Here is what I got this month.....


TRESemme Platinum Strength 60 Second Treatment Shot - 15ml
This is a rinse off treatment that should be used once a week or more if you feel your hair needs it, that claims to 'transform frizzed out and fried hair'. I haven't tried one of these before, but I was really pleased to see this, because my hair has felt a bit dry and heat damaged recently and this will be a lovely treat for it. This isn't a very big tube and because I have got quite long hair it will probably only last for one use, so it would have been nice to receive a bigger tube or a couple of them, but the tube I received is a full size one that retails at £1.49. 

Emite Make Up Eyelash Curler 
I use eyelash curlers everyday and the Glossybox Leaflet says these have been developed with professional make-up artists and I am looking forward to trying these. These are black and red and they come with three replacement rubber bits which I was impressed with. 

Jelly Pong Pong 2-in-1 Eyeliner & Shadow 
I received a Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush in a previous Glossybox and love it, so when I saw this inside I was really pleased. It is 'creamy 2-in-1 crayon' that can be used as an eyeliner or as an eyeshadow. It doesn't seem to have the name of the shade on the pencil, but from looking at Jelly Pong Pong's website, I think this is Plum. I will try this although I am not sure how much I will use this shade and I saw some people got these in black, which I think I would have preferred. 

Eucerin Aquaphor Soothing Skin Balm - 40ml
I have not tried anything from this range before and didn't know much about it. The Glossybox Leaflet says this is a 'multi-purpose balm' and is a 'cult product in the US'. This is fragrance free and has quite a greasy texture, so I think you could only use this on really dry skin. My hands do tend to get quite dry in the winter, so I will probably use this then. 

Oceane Makeup Remover Pen - 3 ml 
This product is not available in the UK at the moment and I haven't heard of this brand before. The packaging says this can be used to remove excess makeup from around your lips and eyes and the tip of the pen 'contains a liquid makeup remover' 'that does not dry out the skin'. I have not used anything like this before, but I will give it a try. 

Overall I was quite pleased with what I received this month and the sizes of the products, although some people did receive UrbanVeda products and I would have liked to try those.

My July 'Seaside Splash' Glossybox

Hello Lovelies,

I received my July Glossybox last weekend and so today I thought I would share with you what was inside. 


The theme for this month is Seaside Splash and the Leaflet you get states that the products chosen for this month’s box are ‘current summer must-haves’. The actual box is a gorgeous turquoise/blue with a coral and starfish seaside design, and this theme is also on the tissue paper inside. I really like when Glossybox have special edition boxes like this and I think one is lovely for summer.

In my Glossybox this month I got.....


Alterna Haircare Bamboo Style Boho Waves Tousled Texture Mist - 25ml
The Glossybox Leaflet states this gives you ‘just back from the beach waves’. I haven’t tried any products like this before, but have looked at them in the past and like the idea of them. My hair doesn’t curl very easily, but I will definitely try this and am excited to see if it works, it smells really nice, so if it doesn't curl my hair at least it will make it smell nice.

Inecto Pure Coconut Refreshing Dry Shampoo - 150ml
I wasn’t so pleased when I saw this inside, because I am not a fan of dry shampoo, although this is a full size product, and I think it is always nice when you do receive full size products in Glossyboxes. I do love the smell of coconut and it always reminds me of summer holidays, so I will give this a try and hopefully it will change my opinion on dry shampoos.

Coola Face Organic Mineral Sunscreen SPF 20 - 7ml
This is a sunscreen for your face and I was happy to see this in the box, and with how lovely the weather has been here at the moment I will definitely use this. After reading about it I am looking forward to trying it even more, because it states that it ‘provides complete UVA/UVB protection and fights free radicals, while soothing, toning and minimizing pores’, which I think is a really nice bonus for a sun cream. 

Ciaté London Paint Pot in Island Hopping – 13.5ml
This is a full size Paint Pot and I was really excited to see this in my Glossybox. The shade I got is a gorgeous red/dark orange colour with lots of gold shimmer and just the sort of colour I love for summer especially on my toes. I have only tried one other Ciaté Paint Pot before which I liked, so I am sure I will like this. I also think these bottles are so cute with the little satin bow on the front.


Ila Spa Face Oil for Glowing Radiance - 1.75ml
The Glossybox Leaflet states this is a cult product, that gives your face a healthy glow ‘with visibly improved texture and radiance’. I have not heard of this brand before, but I am a fan of Clarins Face Treatment Oil, so will definitely try this and see if it lives up to its claims. It smells really lovely and reminds me of the being in spa, which I think is always nice for a skincare product. Although the full size product is £75.00 for 30ml so I am not sure I would repurchase this unless it was really amazing.

Overall I am pleased with what I received in my Glossybox this month although after looking at what other people received I would have liked to got the Anatomicals Spray Misty For Me or the Nip and Fab Spot Fix or Shine Fix instead of the Inecto Pure Coconut Refreshing Dry Shampoo.

My June Glossybox

Hello Lovelies,

I always am excited when my Glossbox arrives and can't wait to see what is inside. I received my June Glossybox on Saturday and I love reading about what other people receive in theirs so I thought I would share with you what I got. This theme for this month's Glossybox was Summer Looks and the leaflet you get in the box states that 'this month's products were selected to update your make-up bag with summer staples.' 

In my Glossybox this month I got.....


Monu Professional Skincare Hand and Nail Cream - 50ml
I never get that excited about hand creams, although I do try and use them at least at night, and this smells really nice, so I will definitely use this. It says it is non-greasy so I really hoping it is one that absorbs quickly as I don't like ones that leave your hands greasy so you feel like you can't touch anything. 

Gosh Growth Mascara - 10ml
I haven't tried any Gosh Mascaras and am always on the look out for an amazing mascara and this one is described as helping your lashes to grow as well as adding volume and length and so I am really looking forward to trying this.

Organic Surge Shine Boost Conditioner - 200ml
I hadn't heard of this Brand before, but a shine boosting conditioner is always a good thing, so I will give it a try. It would have been nice if I had received the Shampoo as well so I could try them together. 

Figs & Rouge Cherry Blossom Lip Balm - 12.5ml
This was the product that caught my eye first, because the packaging is just gorgeous and I tried this straight away. It felt really nice when applied and smells lovely. It has a pink tint to it, which I loved. This is described as a multi-tasking product that can be used on cuticles, elbows, knees and even to tame eyebrows, but I don't know if I would use it for anything other than a lip balm because it is tinted. 

Me Me Me Cosmetics Long Lasting Nail Gloss - 12ml
I love trying different nail polishes and so am always pleased to get a nail polish in my Glossybox. The shade I got is 57 Elegant and I am not quite sure how to describe it other than a kind of mix between silver and gold. I haven't tried a Me Me Me Cosmetics nail polish before and so am not sure how well they apply or last, but I quite like this colour, so will try it. 

Overall I am really pleased with what I got this month and was really impressed that all my products are full size ones :)

My May Glossybox

Hello Lovelies,

I love seeing what other people get in their Glossyboxes and my May Glossybox arrived yesterday, so I thought I would share with you what was in mine. After seeing Glossybox’s facebook updates and tweets about this month being their 2nd Birthday, I was really looking forward to seeing what would be in my Glossybox this month. I thought as it was their 2nd Birthday the box might have been a different design to their normal ones, but it wasn't.

 

When I open a Glossybox I always look at what has been included before reading about them and initially this Month I wasn’t that impressed. The products looked quite small and I didn’t know what a couple of them were, but after reading about them my opinion changed and I am really pleased with what I got and I can’t wait to try them.

In my Glossybox this month I got:


Givenchy Noir Couture Mascara – 1.5g
This is quite a small sample size, but I am really excited to try this because it is described as creating ‘instant volume, length and curl’.

Premae Harmony Balm – 10ml
I hadn't heard of this before and wasn't sure what it was, but after reading the description of it I can’t wait to try it. I have combination skin and this is a skin protector and primer that also reduces excess oil and sounds just like the sort of product I would like to use.

Beautiful Movements Cosmetics Prime & Create Mixing Medium – 2.5g
I also hadn't heard of this before. It is a clear gel that can be mixed with powder blushes, bronzers and eye shadows so they can be applied as creams/liquids. I haven’t tried anything like this before, so am looking forward to seeing how well it works.

Caudalie Divine Oil – 15ml
I don’t really use dry oils, because I like to use products that absorb really quickly and the dry oils I have tried in the past haven't done that. This is describes as being ‘immediately absorbed into the skin’, so I will give it a try. It smells really lovely, so I hope I like using it.

Nails Inc Nail Polish in Portobello - 4ml
I have quite a few Nails Inc Nail Polishes and was excited to see this in the box, it is a gorgeous colour that will be lovely for Summer and I will definitely use this. It is a small size, but I think that is quite useful if you wanted to take it on holiday with you.

Glossybox Mini Nail Files
These are the perfect size to put in your handbag and were a nice little extra this month.

Overall I am really pleased with what I got this month :)

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 :)
