Farewell Glossybox - February Edition

I've been debating weather to give up my monthly subscription to Glossybox for quite some time. The February box marked my 16th box and first and foremost I've run out of things to do with the boxes themselves. Secondly I've not been particularly impressed with the offerings recently certain brands keep making it into the box month after month (anatomicals) and I find there are nowhere near enough products that make me go wow I need this full size. I've also found that I read so many blogs these days that my £13 a month could be much better spent on something I actually really want and will love.

I've nothing against the Glossybox brand at all and I've found their service and responses to be some of the best customer service I've experienced. However the boxes just aren't what they used to be and for me the debate ended with this February box and I've cancelled my subscription.

There's nothing particularly bad about the February box but again not a single thing made me go wow I'm so glad I paid £13 to find this little gem. Yet another shower gel and yet another anatomicals product. I personally find the scents of this brand really unappealing and despite the cute packaging I've had one of their products in a good 4 boxes now. The MeMeMe fatcat mascara was nice but didn't blow me away - it gave me every day lashes but nothing that I would rave about. Not a huge fan of loose eyeshadows so the Mica Bella product in this box didn't tick all of my boxes but it is a lovely shimmery brown that I will definitely get use out of.

Then came the Miners Cosmetics Lipstick. I don't have a particularly positive feeling towards Miners as they are local brand and always seem to be in the 99p bin of my local pharmacy. Getting your product in a Glossybox is such an amazing opportunity to get in the hands of so many beauty loving women it's ridiculous. They just took that opportunity and slapped it round the face by providing perhaps the ugliest shade of lipstick I've ever come across. Named 'mulled wine' it's a deep browny gold tone that I can't imagine suiting anyone. For the first time in my Glossybox history this one didn't even make it to the hands of friend, nor the back of my drawer it literally went straight in the bin.

The best product from this box was the Vidal Sasoon Shine Spray - a perfect little mini for travel that gives a gorgeous glossy finish to my hair.

Basically this box made my decision pretty easy and I did cancel my subscription straight after it came. I'm not ruling out Glossybox forever but it's just not for me right now. Also I really wanted to give my spending ban a full go and I start really clearing out my drawers full of samples I've accrued since I started my Glossybox subscription many months ago.

Glossybox Christmas December Box 2012

It's Christmas Glossybox time again - scared the hell out of me because how was it one entire year ago when the lovely red box was released? I loved last year's December box  and was sure this year's Christmas edition wouldn't disappoint. And it didn't. My Glossybox posts are never usually this photo heavy but for some reason I just wanted to go to town this month. 

Rituals Magic Touch

I was so excited to see rituals in this months box as last years shower gel from them was probably one of my favourite Glossy products ever. This body cream is in scent cherry blossom and rich milk and smells divine. It's fruity enough to be refreshing but also so soothing in it's smell which I think comes from the rice milk. I have smelt a lot of Rituals product and they are never a let down on the scent front. This is super thick and lovely on the skin I'm looking forward to using this. 

Anatomicals Fruity Lip Gloss

I've tried a few anatomicals products so far and I love their packaging. However that's as far as it seems to go for me - the scents always seem a little child like and not that thought through in my opinion. I can't wear lip gloss either as it just doesn't agree with my lips so this probably my least favourite product to no fault of theirs it just doesn't tick my boxes. 

Seche Nail Lacquer - Shade Iconic 

This is ever so Christmassy I've never heart of the brand but it does live up to it's one coat promise. Above is a swatch of just one coat and it's definitely covered my nail completely so I was super impressed with this and will look out for it in future. 

Milk_Shake Conditioning Whipped Cream 

Again have never heard of this brand but I am a huge lover of leave in conditioners so I'm excited to give this a go and will probably give it a full review once giving it a proper test. 

A little bonus blush it's a lovely pink colour that for some reason wouldn't really pick up with my camera even though it's pretty pigmented. A nice little blusher as an extra - I prefer larger blushes as I really like to get brush swirled around but who can complain it's cute and a nice shade. 

I got so excited swatching the Sleek Ultra Matts V2 palette that I didn't end up taking a picture of the palette itself. Oops. As you can see above though it's a lovely matte palette with a mixture of base colours and deep pigmented darks. I really like it - I want to say it's a pretty sleek palette without being overly cheesy. The packaging is really nice and it is a welcome addition to my eye-shadow colours. 

Overall very happy with this box lots of gorgeous things to try out and a few brands I hadn't heard of which I love.

November Glossybox 2012

It's Glossybox time again - this month I'm a happy girly I really liked this box. It's god a good mix of different products that all do different things so you know it's going to be fun to try them all out.

Ayuuri Sandlewood Face Cream - Never in my life have I seen a face cream so big. This would last you so long - I actually don't really like the scent. Whenever something contains Patchouli I'm sad I just had the smell of this essential oil and it jumps through this cream quite strongly. I prefer face creams that are unscented or really lightly fragranced as I find ones with such strong scents just break me out. I will be passing this product on to someone lovely as I'm sure if you like the scents it will be fab maybe on a slightly older less acne prone skin type.

Burberry Body Perfume - I love the packaging of this sample. This is how Glossybox perfume samples should be it's ideal for your handbag. I really wanted to love the scent as it's ideal to take just about everywhere with you. For me though this is definitely a scent for a slightly older woman it's very deep and quite strong and will be going to my mum as I know she'll adore it.

Alison Claire Natural Beauty Mango Body Butter - This is my favourite product I love the pump dispenser and the strong mango scent I want to jump in a bath full of it. It's super thick and just a lovely body butter.

Nails Inc Top Coat - A girl can never have enough top coats and this is a particularly nice one in a cute little mini bottle. I like.

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant - Me and my skin love dermalogica so I'm excited to try this out. It's a very decent sized sample so I'm looking forward to giving this a good go in the next few weeks.

Overall I loved this box I think Glossybox are getting back to their good range and selection after a few duff boxes in a row. I'm excited to see this year's Christmas box next month as last year's was one of my favourite boxes ever.

Glossybox Exclusive Edition Box

When I got the email from Glossybox about their new Exclusive Edition box I literally got straight on the website and ordered it. It's a new concept from Glossybox that offers current subscribers an exclusive box to buy for £20 + P&P. Really clever idea that gives subscribers an extra incentive to stay signed up. I have been umming and arring about buying Moroccanoil for months and knowing this little bottle retails for £12.50 alone it was no brainer for me to buy this box and get to try out all the other products which too appealed. 

The box also comes with a little mini magazine which gives a page explanation about each product and the brands that make them. I like this little extra touch and it's a nice differentiation from the standard monthly Glossybox. 

The products in this Exclusive Glossybox are - Moroccanoil  a Kosmea Radiance 24/7 youth boost sample, Ole Henniksen Truth Serum Collagen Booster, REN Glycolatic Radiance Renewal Mask and a Mama Mio Clean Slate foaming cleanser. I'm excited to try all of these products and as they are all so nice I'm going to give separate reviews to each of them in the next few weeks. 

I really liked this concept and I'm excited to see what Glossybox do with the next box - I'm kind of hoping they aren't all this enticing as I'll be spending far too much money on them!

Glossybox - October

I have to admit I had pretty much convinced myself that this would be last Glossybox after the disappointment of Septembers box. However as usual I've ended up loving this box yet again which has steered me away from cancelling my subscription again. This month I received the anatomicals body scrub, yves rocher lipstick, dermalogica clean start 3 step skin care and skinetica acne soother.

I received the dermalogica clean start in a box a few months ago and absolutely adored the matte moisturiser that I used up quickly over the summer so I'm happy to have this back and they are all ideal for weekends away and staying over at my boyfriends. I love the Yves Rocher lipstick it's such a bright red and the perfect Christmas party colour (yes I'm already in Christmas mode). Anatomicals always come up with the goods in terms of packaging and the product and I'm sure this scrub will be a winner. Finally I have never heard of Skinetica but I'm always up for trying out products that claim to clear up blemishes and spots.

Overall this box was one of my favourties - I can use all the products in it and I'm excited to try it all. I do kind of wish you could opt out of having the products in an actual box as I've become a little inundated with them and I've run out of idea's of what do with them. I'm sure they'll come in handy as Christmas sets in but for now I seem to have so many that I don't want to throw out as they are so pretty.

September Fashion Week Glossybox

Standard monthly Glossybox post again - time is going ever so quickly and it never seems that long since I received my last box. I'd actually saved up my glossydots this month and got this one for free. I've had it about a week now trying to decided what I actually think about it. For me it has nothing on last months box which I'm still doing posts on the individual products featured.

For me it wasn't overwhelmingly good or bas it was a bit blurgh.
My glossybox included:

Lady Gaga Fame Fragrance Sample 1.2ml
Rodial Glamoxy Snake Serum & 5 Minute Facial (sachets)
Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream 7ml
Vichy Indealia Day Care Cream 15ml
Maghrabian Hair Oil 10ml 

I was surprised to actually like the Lady Gaga scent but find the fact that's originally black a little pointless and gimicky also in the opaque black plastic sample tube this is wasted. It works though I guess as a black perfume is a gimicky publicity stunt just like the every day stunts she performs involving meat so I would never buy this even though it does smell quite nice.

I have the Balance Me Eye Cream already as it was in last month or the month befores Glamour magazine again a nice little product but not something I found wowed me enough to think about repurchasing.

Rodial - two products I'm excited to try although I'm not a big fan of sachets as I can never open them and just end up making a mess but will be giving them a full go.

Mostly loving the Hair Oil (can't get enough of these) and Vichy day cream this month.

I still love the concept of Glossybox and getting a surprise each month - it is very hit or miss and I often wonder if spending the £13 on different bits and bobs would be a better idea but then I cant ever bring myself to quit the subscription as I know when I do the next box will be out of this world amazing.

In terms of the box itself I didn't really like it - a nice idea but I think the design could have been much more inkeeping with what was in the box itself and the brand.

Lipcote

I absolutely loved this months Glossybox - more than I think any other box. And I loved it so much because it was full of products I've wanted to try and can actually use. I was surprised to see so much hatred towards it on their Facebook page but to be honest I think even if the box was full of 5 full size high end products there would still be complaints - baffles me.

Anyways I loved it so much I've decided to give each product a proper test run and full review. Today it's all about Lipcote. I know this product has been around years and to all the moaners saying 'why have you put this in the box its so old' maybe the brand is trying to reach a new younger audience. I for one have always wanted to try this but just never bought it - probably for the 'it's a bit old fashioned' name it has.

I'm so glad it was in my box - it genuinely works. Now this isn't an everyday top coat for your lips because it does seriously tingle them and I don't think it's particularly nourishing or good for them either. However if you are attending a super long work meeting, or are heading out for a late night this is perfect. I popped it over the top of a pink lipstick at 7.30am before work and it was definitely still in place at 5pm when I was heading home checking it out in the rear view.

I have found to tackle the drying element it is worth having a similar shaded lip butter or lip balm to pop over the top during the day. This way you don't need a mirror you can keep even more pigment in your lip and it just eases off the drying quite a bit. When I attend the charity launch on Sunday with my lips a popping bright colour Lipcote will be keeping them that way all night long. It retails for just £3.99 here it's got cute if not a little retro packaging and it works. I'm so glad it was featured because I probably would never have tried it.

Glossybox, June 2012.

It's Glossybox time again, getting this little box of treats has made coming back to England not so heartbreaking. I've decided to just do a little first thoughts posts on this one as I just felt like I already had a lot to say about it. 

Glossybox - Serie Exclusiv Pro Beauty Brush 

RRP £15 

I liked the little black branded mirror in last months box and I like this little brush too. It's a cute little size and it quite a bit shorter than my other brushes so I think this would be ideal for taking out and about. The bristles are really soft and densely packed in so I think it definitely has lasting ability. I was quite surprised to see an RRP next to this item as I thought the branded beauty bits were kind of zero value but fit nicely in the box - maybe a brand extension into beauty extra's is coming - if it is I think it would be a brilliant idea for them to go into their ranges of brushes and other little bits. 

Yves Rocher France - Mini Mascara ultra-volume sexy pulp 

RRP Full Size £16.90 Sample Worth £4.69

I've never heard of the brand before and I'm pretty loyal to L'Oreal Million Lashes but I do love little mini mascara's for night out top ups. I don't like the name at all 'ultra volume sexy pulp' the word pulp just makes me think of the gross fruit that's left after you've made a smoothie. It's a good mascara and offers good coverage to my lashes, I've just stocked up on Benefit Bad Gal Mini Mascara's from Glamour Magazine so I have a lot of mini mascara's right now but this is definitely a cute little addition. 

BM Beauty - Summer Warmth Bronzer 

RRP Full Size £8 Sample Worth £2 

This is a lovely shade and a soft product - I just can't use loose bronzer, I get it everywhere and the tiny sample pot means I can't really get coverage on a brush without it going everywhere and losing all of the product. For me it's a little pointless sample I'm thinking I can use it as an eye base though as it's a lovely brown for that too if its built up. 

Clean Start by Dermalogica - Day/Night 3-Step Kit 

Full Size £12 Kit 

I so wish I'd received this before going on holiday as it is perfect for travelling. Dermalogica is always a brand that's on my wish list that I can't afford to buy so I'm so looking forward to trying this little set out. It all smells gorgeous and I love that the toner is a spray dispenser and the moisturier is Matte SPF 15 it is literally perfect for a holiday. 

Vichy - Dermablend Ultra Corrective Foundation Cream Stick 

Full Size £19 Sample Worth £8 

This in my view is the perfect kind of sample for a skin product. Featuring 6 different shades allows you to try the product whilst also working out what's right for you if you want to purchase it. I have a few horrible marks on my cheek from spots previously so I am looking forward to trying it out on them although I won't need the full size product as it's not an area that bothers me hugely. I love that this has been featured though and I hope more brands offer little samples like this - it would be brilliant to get foundation samples like this so you can really work out which shade to buy from the comfort of your home and in all different lights. 

Overall I really like this box my favourite item by far was the Dermalogica kit and I think its going to make me want to buy the whole full size kit after using it up. I'm a bit skin care mad at the moment, so expect a lot of it other the next few weeks :) 

Happy Birthday Glossybox - May 2012

Arriving home to wonderful Glossybox shaped package somewhat got rid of my post-holiday blues. By being away I'd managed to miss any spoilers - which I love doing as it means the whole box is a complete surprise. I think for me regardless of the content sometimes Glossybox is so good as the little ribbons and packaging that it makes receiving any box special - this was no exception being their one year anniversary box - Happy Birthday Glossybox. So this month's box was a good mix for me it had a little bit of everything. 

Noble Isle - Summer Rising Bath and Shower Gel

I've never heard of this brand before but I always like little shower gel's - it smells gorgeous and will be a welcome addition to my bathroom. I haven't had to buy a shower gel since receiving glossy boxes I find I'd never actually purchase any full size as they kind of all do the same thing however this one is packaged beautifully and smells divine. 

Lolita Lempicka - L'Eau en Blanc & Eau de Parfum 

I don't mind perfume samples particularly but these two are really not to my taste they smell way too florally and remind me of the fragranced sheets my nan puts in her knicker drawer. Not for me but I think perfume is so subjective and is all about personal taste. 

Weleda - Face Cream/ Body Milk 

I've seen lots about the Weleda brand and was super excited to try this product - however for me it is way to fragranced to put near my face as I know that kind of strength in fragrance will just break me out. I will be passing this on to my mum who has far more resilient skin to me. 

Collection - Lasting Colour Gel Eyeliner 

I think this was a brilliant opportunity for Collection (previously Collection 2000) to show off their rebrand by getting into the hands of so many beauty enthusiasts however a little weird that the packaging is Collection 2000 branded. Anyways - I was really happy to get this in my box as my maybelline gel liner is literally on it's last legs. I like this it's a little softer than the maybelline version and I did find I had to be a little more careful to give it a few seconds more to dry than Maybelline too. It comes with a little brush but I tend to stick to a longer liner brush as it's just a little easier but the brush is ideal for being out and about. 

HD Brows - Brow Beater 

Finally probably my favourite product in the box is the full size HD Brows Brow Beater. I've been looking to get this anyway and I'm so glad it was featured, HD brows is such a hot brand right now and my unruly brows are very grateful for this finishing product whilst conditioning them too. 

Overall I really liked the box it had some products that I really needed which is always welcome in my collection - the pink birthday balloon was also a lovely touch as well as the little Glossybox branded mirror that will be perfect in my make-up bag. 

Glossybox April - Au Natural

I was super excited to receive this month's glossybox as although I've heard rumours of the natural theme I've been ridiculously good and not looked at any spoiler posts on it. Which is probably a first for me and reminded me of the reason I first subscribed - for the surprise :) 

I love the themed boxes and the different coloured boxes are so useful - especially this one as it fits in my bathroom perfectly! I'm not crazy into organic and natural products but I do like to use them when I can so I was very excited for this box to try out some products I'd never tried before. 

Caudalie - Vinosource SOS Thirst Quenching Serum 

Full Size £29 - Sample worth £9.66 

I've read lots of good things about Caudalie recently and have quite a few things on my wish list. I've also wanted a serum for ages - this smells divine a real fresh skin care kind of smell if that makes any sense at all. I'm so excited to this was in the box and I can't wait to try it out properly as a full size serum definitely needs to be bought by me soon. 

Inika Cosmetics - Organic Eyeliner in Green Lagoon

Full Size - £11.75 - Sample worth £11.75 

I've never heard of this brand before and I'm always loving getting something like an eye-liner in my glossybox. I love the consistency of this its super creamy and comes in lovely gold and black packaging. I also like that I got green as I have a whole host of black eye-liners so being able to try something different I wouldn't normally buy is always a plus for me. 

Monu Professional Skincare - Body Cream 

Full Size - £23 - Sample Worth £3.45

I received a Monu face cream in a previous box which was far too fragranced for me and just broke out my skin so badly. This smells gorgeous and I always like receiving little body creams because I haven't had to buy any since starting my glossybox subscription last November! I don't think you can really go wrong with body cream really other than awful scent I find them all pretty similar I wouldn't pay the £23 full size price for this though as I do find £1 supermarket brand creams do the same. 

Figs and Rouge - Balm 

Full Size - £3.29 - Sample Worth £3.29 

Adore this products kind of old Parisian packaging - its gorgeous! It smells of peppermint and tea tree and really feels like it instantly wakes you up. It says it can be applied lip, face and body. I think I'll be using it mostly for lips and blemishes or dry spots of skin as the tea tree will be perfect. This is ideal hand bag material! I love it! 

Phillip B - Drop Dead Straightening Balm

Full Size - £17 - Sample Worth £1.43 

I feel like I've kind of got my hair routine down to a tee at the moment so haven't bought any new products in a while. Always open to trying new things I wear my hair mostly curly at the moment so this will definitely be pulled out when I have a straight day. 

Overall this box comes in at £29.56 which is brilliant. As always I know it's not about the worth but it just is reassuring to know you've got a little bit of value for money. I love this box - it's full of products I probably wouldn't have picked up but all ones I love and it's got a really good variety for me. Well done again to Glossybox I think they keep pulling it out of the bag recently. 

Glossybox - Harrods Collaboration March 2012

One of the reasons I first signed up to Glossybox was to get box of surprises each month. However it turns out I don't do surprises very well and always end up reading sneak peak blog posts as soon as they appear. When I saw that this months was a Harrods collaboration I was very excited. Mostly as the things in Harrods are so unattainable to most people I was excited to try some brands I hadn't even heard of and products I probably won't be able to afford for a very long time. 

I've decided to keep it about my initial thoughts of each product this month as overall I was really pleased with my box. When I saw some of the pictures of the event I really wanted to get the Burberry lipstick and I know a lot of people have complained that they haven't received this. I'm kind of glad I didn't on reflection because I just think the colour wouldn't suit me and my main lust for it was the packaging rather than being able to use it! I'm glad I got 5 products I will actually use and that I'm really excited to try out. 

I've also worked out how much each sample is worth (mainly did this as I was intrigued at the Revive cream's worth) but also I find it really useful on other blogs when weighing up if the subscription is kind of worthwhile. I don't really subscribe to 'get my money's worth' but it is nice to keep in the back of your mind when sticking to the subscription so I've included it in mine. Altogether my box came in at Sample worth: £49.72 which I think is quite amazing considering I paid £12.95 including P&P. I think it's one of the highest valued boxes - obviously a collaboration with London's most prestigious department stores pays off!

Versace – Vanitas Versace

Full Size 30ml -£45

Sample 4.5ml - £6.75

I don’t mind perfume samples being featured in Glossybox’s but I really don’t like those kind of little tubes or sachets you can pick up at counters. This is exactly what I think perfume samples should be like – a miniature little bottle wrapped in a perfect little box.  I actually really love the smell of this and it is perfect for nights out. I think this kind of thing sums up Glossybox it is exactly what I signed up for – luxury samples and I just adore it – it is so cute!  

Bliss – Blood Orange and White Pepper Body Butter

Full Size 200ml -£20.50

Sample 50ml - £5.12

I adore the packaging of this product it’s so bright and eye catching yet simple. At first I couldn’t really smell anything other than orange in this but after it settles onto the skin you do get a hint of a kind of peppery tone coming through – either that or I’m smelling so hard I’m imagining things. Either way I love the fresh scent and this will be a perfect product to pop into my hand bag this summer!

Revive – Intensite Crème

Full Size 60ml -£235 :0!!

Sample 7ml - £27.42

Seriously £235 for full size – I’m almost too scared to use this product with my tiny little product being worth more than I would spend on my high end foundations! I’ve never heard of the brand before and I will be sparingly applying this in the mornings after my normal routine as suggested on the Glossybox card. I can easily say though however soft and delicious this crème is I will never be purchasing this product – I love that it was featured though it kind of adds that little special extra to the Harrods collaboration. I would never have had the chance to try such an expensive crème before – I swear gram for gram this comes in more than gold no?!

Lancome – Teint Miracle

Full Size 30ml -£27

Sample 5ml - £4.50

It’s weird this was featured actually as had a conversation with my friend who had just bought this and was raving about it so was glad to get it to try out. Mine was in shade 03 Beige which is actually probably my natural skin colour but a little light for me with tan – on test though it’s lovely and creamy and gives good coverage without being cakey.

Clarins – Extra Firming Body Cream

Full Size  200ml - £39.50

Sample 30ml - £5.93

I’ve wanted to try Clarins creams for ages as they’ve never appeared in my boxes in the past so I’m glad this was featured. I can’t actually find it in the Harrods Glossybox link so maybe it’s just being used up from previous boxes – either way I’m pleased and glad it was in as it’s a product I’ll definitely use. It’s lovely thick and creamy – the smell is really nice and subtle I don’t find it too overpowering like some creams are. 

Overall I'm super happy with my selection they are all products I will be using and that make welcome additions to my beauty cupboard. I'm a little bit obsessed with skin care at the moment so glad my box was mostly made up of this rather than make-up!

I sometimes think working in the Glossybox customer service team must be one of the hardest jobs - on release week all I see is gripes about what people received and how they weren't happy despite it being a surprise. So I wanted to make sure I mentioned some amazing service I received following last months box. My Dr Bronner hand sanitizer pump didn't work properly so I emailed them to see if I could arrange a replacement and a new one arrived in a matter of days. I was so impressed with how quickly and sweetly they dealt with my problem and wanted to give this a mention. 

I think Glossybox have got back to their original concept with this box - it's all about luxury samples that you want to try out and maybe wouldn't just pick up due to price or availability. I adore the little mini foundation and perfume bottles little things like those make it for me! 

What did you think of this months box? 

Glossybox February

It's sooo sunny I couldn't get any photo's that weren't glaring with sunlight. So I've decided to use these anyways it's nice it reminds me of the sun beaming through my window so apologies.

I've recieved my February Glossybox really late because they had some problems with the processing of it - so I know you've seen all this before but decided I'd put it up to share my thoughts rather than do the usual image heavy post on each product.

Becca Beach Tint Watermelon - I was so glad I got this instead of the lip gloss. I love it! It's a gorgeous corally tint for both lips and cheeks its super creamy and a really nice deep colour so a little goes a long way.  I know I have a tan all year round but I'm especially looking forward to using this on holiday on naturally tanned skin I think it will look amazing.

Dr Bronner Lavender Hand Sanitiser - At first I was like why the hell do I have a hand sanitiser in my Glossybox and then I thought it's actually quite a cute little handbag type product for when your out and about. There is one major flaw to this product though - it smells of lavender. Lavender is for bed time and to make you all sleepy and relaxed. I can't imagine ever needing to use this product other than being on the go and that is definitely a time I do not need lavender in my life. In a nice mint or fresh fruity smell it would be fine but this was a bit of a confused product in my view.

Awapuhu by Paul Mitchell - I didn't realise this was a Paul Mitchell product until reading the card that canme with the box as the Awapuhu branding takes over the packaging. I adore the smell of this product its a delicious ginger. The pump is ideal to dispense and its lovely on my hair. It's soft by touch and leaves a really nice shine to the tips of my hair. I like.

BM Beauty Pure Mineral Eyeshadow - I like that it's a strong black colour but I have never gotten on with loose shadows like this I just make a huge mess. I've got a lot of shadows in this colour range too so I've decided to keep it wrapped for my upcoming give away as I think its a fab little pot that just won't get much love in my make-up bag but I know lots of people love it.

Como Shambhala - This product smells gorgeous yet again and it is what it is - a shower gel. I like getting products like this in my Glossybox as otherwise I will simply buy a £1 showergel so its nice to have a little bit of luxury. I am currently inundated with shower gels so I've decided to pop this in a giveaway (coming soon) too. What I would say though is this product comes in at a whopping £20 for the full size I simply can not understand why anyone would spend so much on it. You would really have to be making some money to put that down on it.

All in all I was quite pleased with this month, the Becca tint and Paul Mitchell hair products were definitely favourites. I've been considering giving up my Glossybox subscription as I kind of feel I'd rather buy a MAC lipstick each month and get more use from it. However I do love the little boxes and the whole idea of it still - I'm undecided. Also the March/ Harrods collaboration looks very exciting so I'm looking forward to receiving that!
