Aprils GlossyBox- The Natural Box!

It feels like it's been Months since the last GlossyBox, the delay caused by Easter has pushed back the dispatch BUT!! Aprils offering has arrived! 

Instead of the usual pretty post box this months was a plain cardboard box and inside the main box is a "Natural" recycled box,I actually like it I think its understated and pretty.

This Month is a Natural Beauty box and I believe is in conjunction with Earth day so its all natural beauty products which is a nice change and actually I'm really impressed with my box.

SO!! What did I get, well Five products Three of which were full size, One a very generous sample size and One that as yet I haven't got any product to come out??!! So actually we'll go with Four samples and one tube of air!

Monu Moisture Rich Collagen Cream 50ml, Burt's Bees Milk and Honey Body Lotion  70g, Figs & Rouge Lip Balm in Cherry &Vanilla 8ml, Caudalie SOS Thirst Quenching Serum 10ml and an Inika organic Eyeliner in Purple Minx Full size

The Monu cream smells nice applied easily as I've only used it once can't give too much of an opinion but its full size and I like!

Burt's Bees Body Lotion is a very generous sample and I've used it on my hands the smell is not terrible but I'm def getting hints of furniture polish??!! Despite this I do like it and my hands are silky smooth!

Figs & Rouge lip balm in Cherry & Vanilla, I love these tins they're cute they smell great and you can use them not only on your lips but face and body and nails sadly I foolishly tried out the Burts Bees prior to looking at the balm so despite much prying and pulling I can't get into it but I've had them before and they're gorgeous!

The Caudalie serum I can't tell you about as I seem to have a tube of air!! I've squuezed and squeezed but nothing has come out?? So yeah FAIL!

Finally the Inika organic Eyeliner, it's called Purple Minx it's a very dark purple and I do think I'll use it as I have a two tone blue/pink Maxfactor Mascara that I think it will work well with.

I really like the ethos of this box everything is alleged to be ethical and organic and they're really nice products lots of skin care, great sized samples and all bar the empty tube usable and appropriate to me so that's the second month of thumbs up to GB!! 

Let me know what you think and what you got in your box xxx

New box!

So last week Carmine announced its merge with GlossyBox.......devastated would be my feelings on that matter! The Carmine box in my opinion was far superior to GlossyBox it was consistent and FAIR!! But yeah its gone! I only hope the "merge" will lead to GlossyBox improving but we'll see! ANYWAY, so I wanted to fill my Carmine gap and came across SheSaidBeauty. 

Theres loads of codes around at the moment to get 25% off your first box and its a £1 cheaper than all the others at £11.95 inc P&P a month and it operates the same with monthly or yearly subscriptions cancel anytime! So here it is;

It comes in a Hot pink postal box and opens to reveal a cute turquoise box that opens via a flap at the front! Inside is hot pink tissue & ribbon and then nestling in the straw like filling were the following goodies;

Filthy Gorgeous Nail Polish in Valentine full size, its a deep red I like it but I have this colour already so that'll be gifted to someone!

Mischa Barton pink pop lip balm, Full size,  this I really like its not a strong colour just a hint and it made my lips feel good!! also it has SPF15 and vitamins which according to the blurb will make your lips more kissable so here's hoping!!

Bellapierre Shimmer Powder in Champagne Full size, Its a shimmer powder its a good colour for the summer so yes I'll use it and yes its nice again to have another full size included!

Bharti Vyas Face & Neck polisher sample, smells ok is all I can really say as I havent tried it, it came with a huge leaflet of instructions and sales pitch so we'll see!

Comfort Zone Body Expert kit very cute box of generous sized sachet samples again haven't tried it but will, its apparently going to make my body beach ready.....doubtful as to do that I need to join a Gym stop eating crap and generally try harder but we'll see how it makes my skin feel!!

BONUS Erno Laszlo The Hollywood Collection, I like a bonus who doesn't! Got this in my Harrods GB so have actually tried it and I did really like it so nice little extra 

BONUS Lindt Lindor mini Chocolate Egg, really nice touch to get an Easter egg in a beauty box love it! Going done a treat with my cuppa as I type!! (could be a contributing factor to my failure of the beach body!!)  

That was my box I liked it It's a nice mix of make-up and skincare I liked the two bonus items as well really nice touch. I'd had a snoop around the net to see what others had thought and it generally had great reviews so here we are and box number one is a thumbs up. I like that they do sneak peaks when the boxes are released so if your impatient like me you can ruin the surprise and I like the mix of brands you have high end with middle range and in other boxes they've had low end products but all products are nice and the boxes really seem to offer excellent value for money so onwards we shall go and see what next month brings! 

If you want to try it here's a link I'll get a referral which would be ace but if not go over to their site any way as its got a great feel to it very social and interactive :)
