I'd just finished blogging about my SheSaidBeauty box when my doorbell rang and voila GlossyBox's offering was delivered!!
This Month is the one year Anniversary since GlossyBox began and as a result this is their special edition anniversary box.
As a added bonus they've given us all a little compact mirror and a balloon. It says on the blurb they'd like us to inflate said balloon and take a picture of ourselves to upload on their Facebook or to tweet to them!!
So, what did I get?! Well in mine I had Noble Isle summer rising bath and shower gel which smells really good, I normally have a tantrum when I see shower or bath gels as I always seem to get sent Lavender or eucalyptus scented washes, which I hate with a passion! However this one I'm actually happy about as it just looks and smells divine!
Then I had two perfume samples from Lolita Lempicka......I'm not going to rant but I will say these samples I can walk into House of Fraser and collect for free anytime and I really take issue when a beauty box includes perfume like this as one of the main samples as it's not a luxury sample and its free anyway so I'm not impressed!! I've tried them both and of the two the Si Lolita is the one I like but thats all I can really say on them! (Not happy!!)
Next was a Weleda sample, The packaging is in German which if you don't read or understand isn't helpful but my basic grasp is that its a Wild Rose Milk for pampering your skin and that it contains natural ingredients. I like the smell and I've rubbed a bit on my hands and its absorbed well and left them soft with a gentle rose fragrance so I like this and will give it a proper test later.
I also got a small bottle of Uniqone All in one hair treatment which again I haven't tried yet but meh its another hair treatment I have my regular hair care down but this claims to preform miracles so I'll give it a whirl and we'll see!
Finally I received the Lets Go Lashes, I got the Tease Strip Lashes No.3. I'm going to sound really ungrateful but I've had lashes now many many times in these boxes and whilst their useful I can buy them anywhere and their not really my thing other than when I'm going out so I probably won't even try these and will gift them on.
I have mixed reactions with GlossyBox generally I'm happy with my boxes I know they're not going to please everyone all the time but this time I opened the box had a nose and a poke and then looked at the little deflated balloon and thought, that's two of us!
Not a terrible box by any stretch of the imagination but it goes back to the fact that across the boxes there is too much variation and there is the good box and the bum box and the little bit of both box which is what I think Mine is.
I was really good this month and didn't google to see any sneaky peaks or reviews so I had no expectations, however I'm not really moved to praise GB this month which is a shame as recently I'd been on a good run with their boxes.
I've since googled away and seen others got HD Brows products which makes me sad as I would love to try their products but hey you win some you lose some!
Catch you next time xxx


The HD brow thing was just a clear gel with a mascara wand. Its ok. Nothing special. I thought the waleda sample to. loved it but the sample is so small. I wasn't very happy that I got a collection 2ooo gel eyeliner - which is admittedly a good product but not what I call high in.
ReplyDeleteI love the Weleda sample! Disappointed though because they don't seem to sell the Wild Rose Milk in this country which doesn't seem to make much sense as why include a product you can't actually buy?! I had no idea there was a collection 2000 gel liner like you said great product but def not high end. I'd still really like to try the HD Brow product as its had great reviews but it wasn't my Glossy month this month!!
ReplyDeleteYou can buy Weleda online at love lula and naturisimo x
ReplyDeleteNot the wild rose milk its discontinued :( but love naturisimo, great site and the Weleda was cheaper on there then the Weleda website!
