Septembers GlossyBox

This month's GlossyBox Theme is Rising Stars and the box was deigned by Maggie Li and I have to say its beautiful!

In my box I received Lady GAGA's Fame Fragrance sample, Rodial Glamoxy Snake Serum and 5 Minute Facial two sachets of each, Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream, Olay regenerist Wrinkle relaxing complex and L'Oreal Mythic Oil Full Size with two sachets of the complimenting Shampoo and Conditioner.

I'm only going to talk about the products I like this month as it's a bit boring to waffle on about the dead weight in the box so here are my happy products!

I love the hair oil right up my street I got a small sample of this from Whatsinyourhandbag and loved it and still haven't used all of that and now I have this huge bottle!! Hair Oils are worth spending money on if that's your thing as they last for ages and for me they leave my hair sleek shiny and smelling great! So very happy with my Mythic oil!!

The  Rodial Glamoxy Snake Serum is amazeballs! I don't like the name I think its gimmicky however that s**t works!! It does sound like something that would be papped falling out of Victoria Beckhams handbag but it's great and its not extortionate £29 for 10 sachets isn't the most expensive face cream and I think for a quick fix this stuff is great!

What did you get in your box? Are you happy? Let me know your thoughts!!

This month I dropped Shesaidbeauty's box and moved over to Joliebox so my next review will be all about that little adventure!

September SheSaidBeauty Box

After last months box I had high hopes for Septembers offering and whilst its certainly better its just all a bit meh! I don't want to sound like a snob BUT!!! Collection 2000?? I just don't identify with this brand, the primer is ok, the fixer smells rank and in all honesty I have better quality products to do both of those jobs. 

The DHC oil I already have and also received the same sample in Augusts Glossybox so I'm happy to have it but its a bit of a bore to get the same samples across the boxes. 

The Ginvera Green Tea Whitening Marvel Gel and Amie spring clean cooling clay mask are two products I am looking forward to using especially the mask so those were my favourite samples from this month. 

The Popchips were ok but a bit of a strange thing to have in a beauty box however they were a bonus item so can't grumble.

After rooting through my box I sat back and then looked back at my other boxes from she said beauty and came to a conclusion. This box would have impressed me about 10 years ago, the products in it are affordable and this month for example was a really good month for skincare three of the samples I loved but the collection 2000 products just really leave me cold. 

I'm at the stage now where I will happily spend good money on good products and especially with Skincare and this box just isn't delivering those kind of products to me. 

Sooooo!! I cancelled my subscription. Not because SheSaidBeauty is terrible far from it their delivery service and the customer care is amazing and GlossyBox could take notes on how to handle criticism and work PR from them. However its just not a good fit for me. The products don't excite me and don't make me want to rush out and buy whereas GlossyBox I get that at times and I just think their box is a little more grown up. So SheSaidBeauty is no more for me. I'm still mourning the loss of Carmine so I've now signed up for Joliebox as it seems to get good reviews and the products look to be more up my alley. Hopefully their September offering will be a good one!
