I have not really been too impressed with the last few GlossyBoxes since the special edition Harrods box. Since then I think this is the first box that as some contents I genuinely really like. Although I still think GlossyBox can do better and utilise the beauty profiles you have to fill in when you subscribe e.g. I stated I prefer make up products and I am in my 20’s yet have received anti-ageing products in the past. ANyway on to this months box…
BEX London SE1 perfume – when I first sprayed this on I really did not like it. ALthough after a few minutes it started growing on me. It does seem fairly long wearing too. Several hours later it still had a strong scent. Although it has not made me ike it enough to go out and buy it, I will use the sample. After all perfume samples are handy size to take away for a weekend break or night out and to keep in your handbag.
Paul Mitchell Awapohi Moisture Mist (100ml) – GlossyBox did will with this, it really is a good size sample and much better than some of the tiny sizes you sometime receive. Yes I know GlossyBox is a sample service but lets face it when your paying £10 a month you expect/want decent sizes so you really get chance to test the product out. I tested this product out yesterday whilst it was really warm weather. I sprayed it over my skin which was really refreshing in the heat. Although I did spray it in my hair too I am guessing this is something you would see the effects off over a longer period of time if you usually have dry hair.
Monu eye cool gel – This is another product I will actually use. When I am at work have late nights/early morning therefore I can see this getting a lot of use to smooth out those huge shopping bags I carry around under the eyes. I may end up purchasing this in the future.
Jelly Pong Pong lip frosting – OMG what can I say about this other than ‘I LOVE it!’ It smells (and tastes!) divine, like a little piece of heaven on your lips! It smells of Raspberry Pavlova and is so sweet (but not too sweet). This is the first product since I have been subscribing to GlossyBox and went out and purchased on the same day (and whilst there I also purchased other Jelly Pong Pong products – I can;t wait for them to arrive!) although I did find them out of stock on their website (I am guessing many other GlossyBox subscribers did the same!) I found the products on Beautyboxx.co.uk at a decent price too. Oh I almost forgot to say this was also another good size sample in this box.
Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse – This is not really a product I would really use It does smell ok and I did splash it onto mu hands (the one area I do get dry skin) but I think I will pass this onto someone who will get use out of it.
There was also an additional bonus sample this month in the form of Elizabeth Ardens Visible difference gentle hydrating skincare. I have not had chance to use this, again not something I would use so i may pass it on. It does say on the card that comes with the box that if you show the card at an Elizabeth Arden counter in Debenhams you will also receive an additional deluxe sample. I will aim to collect this the next time I go shopping.
Overall there a few products I like this month (the lip frosting and Paul Mitchell spray) that do make it worthwhile. I am still not completely convinced by GlossyBox but they have persuaded me to give it one more month.
