Ok so both boxes arrived, GlossyBox looked more appealing to me but then I'm not an orange girl!! Opening both boxes the Carmine box was a challenge it just didn't want to come apart!! However I soon broke in and this is what I got;
Carmine had in it; Korres wild rose 24-hour moisturising and brightening cream 10mls, Eldora False Eyelashes, Balance me Radiance face oil 5ml, Westlab Himalayan Pink salt sachet, and an Eyeko Fat Eye Stick full size.
GlossyBox had in it; Eyeko Skinny eyeliner full size, Davines Moisturising Balm 75ml, Davines Cleansing Nectar 90ml, FAB Gentle Body Wash 2oz and A Murad primer in Dewy Finish 5mls plus there was a valentines inspired sweet!
Of the two boxes the Glossy box was this months winner for me. This is down to the fact that the samples were of a generous size the products themselves were divine I really like all of them although the eyeliner was in a pink which isn't a colour I'd ever choose but looked ok on. And the glossy box represented better value for money. The Carmine box wasn't a failure though, the eyelashes are gorgeous and the Korres moisturiser and Balance me oil are both products that worked really well but the samples were tiny compared to GlossyBox so purely on value for money GB wins but also on a personal level I will use all the products in GB but not Carmine. I'm going to stay subscribed to both companies for another month to see how the next boxes compare but great first impressions and I really like the premise and execution of the products. I've never heard of some of these companies but their products are great One I will def be buying is the Murad Primer as that made my skin look natural but fresh and that was the point in signing up, to find products I would like and buy, so a happy me today!
