June's GlossyBox!


Its that time of the month again (No not that time although sometimes I do get a bit angsty when opening the GB box!!)
Hermes, or as I like to call him 'The gangly bloke in the ford sierra' has dropped off my GlossyBox! 
As you can see above I got the HD BROWS precision tweezers, The BM Beauty summer warmth bronzer 1mg, A 10ml sample of Caudalie Zeste De Vigne Eau Fraiche! And a Vichy Dermablend foundation starter kit. Oh and a Glossy box Beauty Brush that they claim is worth £15.....more on that later!
Having had a gander on GlossyBox's Facebook page I'm assuming my luck was in this month as I seem to have got the coveted HD product, although in all honesty tweezers is tweezers! I already own many different ones all claiming they'll remove even the tiniest hair and actually the lady who threads them does the best job but hey they look quality and I'm sure should I find a random hair that I don't get on my chin they'll come in mighty handy!
The Bronzer is a little too dark for me, I really wish GB would pull their finger out and make use of those beauty profiles they asked us to fill in but still don't use (it's been a year what's taking so long??!)
The Caudalie fragrance I love!! And whilst I hate perfume samples being included this was actually a decent size, handy for my handbag and I really liked it so no complaints!
The Vichy foundation set looks promising if it gives as good a coverage as it claims I may well invest in this and its a nice sample set with different shades to try/mix it up so I'll give it a whirl!
Then there was the brush.....claimed to be worth £15.....erm No! Its crap I mean seriously crap I pulled off the plastic covering brushed it on my hand and then noticed I had goat hairs everywhere!! I wouldn't even risk trying this brush out as I'd guarantee you'll be pulling thick black goat hairs out of your foundation and lets be frank that's not a good look for anyone!!! Maybe I got a dud brush but having read many many other moans on the facebook page I think not!
In summary It was an ok box the brush was a fail but the rest was usable and I really really love the fragrance or Eaux Fraiche!! I can't grumble seeing as the tweezers are worth £19.95 however two "tools" aren't really samples and I would rather have had some products to try out but I don't want to sound like an old goat bleating on about GB's inadequacies (see what I did there?!)
