amyjaneoldfield: Glossy Box

Showing posts with label Glossy Box. Show all posts

This is my third month of being subscribed to Glossy Box, and again they prove to be AMAZING! The July box was fully of products I would use on a day-to-day basis, plus the products are worth way more than the subscription fee.

What's in the July box?

- MONUspa Soothing After Sun Lotion RRP £19.95

- Deliwash Cleansing Conditioner RRP £16.80

- Banana Setting Powder RRP £25

- Spectrum Small Fan A10 RRP £4.99

- Spiral Hairbands RRP £4.99

Out of everything in the box the two products that caught my eye the most was the Spectrum brush and the banana setting powder. The brush is BEAUTIFUL! I mean, it's stunning the colours are gorgeous and the bristles on the brush are so thick and soft (plus don't fall out).

The banana powder is something I've wanted to try for awhile but always put off by the price, the fact Glossy Box has included the full size is mind blowing. The product itself only requires a little amount for a perfect finished look.

As for the hairbands, they're so easy to use and at first I thought they might be damaging to my hair. But shockingly they are not, they're easy to use and rather comfortable to wear. The Elgon conditioner is full size! The product smells amazing and it is super interesting to see how it can be used as a shampoo and conditioner (and you don't need a large amount).

Overall, I'm in love with July's box the products are good high quality without having to pay the high prices. It's a great box to try out products before investing, and you get such a range! I'm super excited to see whats in next months box. X

This is my third month of being subscribed to Glossy Box, and again they prove to be AMAZING! The July box was fully of products I would use...

So this is my second month with Glossy Box's subscription, I was very dubious about what to expect this month. However, I'm shook! This month has improved drastically, and honestly I fell in love with so many products. Plus, it was packaged beautifully again just like last time (if you haven't read the May's box blog post check it out here).

What's inside June's box?

- BeautyPro Black Diamond Mask

- 111Skin Space Defence Bright Eye Lift Gel 5ml

- Manna Kadar Sheer Glow Illuminator 20ml

- Sleek Power Plump Lip Crayon

- Africa Argan Oil Hand Cream 100ml

- Batiste Heat & Shine Spray 200ml

The item that first caught my eye was the Batiste, purely because it's a full size product!?!? Crazy right? I love Batiste and knew instantly this product would be used often by me. The, the BeautyPro diamond face-mask intrigued me I was expecting it to work like those face-mask demo videos you see on Facebook. The ones when you peel, you see all the black heads inside the mask?

Well, I gave this product a try and must admit, it wasn't all that amazing. It dried quicker in my t-zone area (around nose), I left it on for 20-ish minutes and then peeled off. I found it easy to peal off, but it left the skin a bit dirty I had to thoroughly rinse my face straight away. My skin felt smooth and soft, but for someone with oily skin type it wasn't too long before I had to do my full skincare routine again because it got so oily. As for the mask, a few black heads showed but nothing to make me go 'wow'. I would probably never buy this again, I feel like there are more masks that work better for my skin type but it was nice to try out.

The sheer glow illuminator caught my eye, but when I tried it I noticed it had a huge fragrance and chemicals which did put me off. It worked alright, it gave a glow effect when I mixed with my foundation, but the smell just puts me off. And the African oil hand cream was a huge love, smells amazing, great product size, and something I am using daily!

So last month my mum surprised me with an unexpecting subscription with Glossy Box it arrived in the mail packaged beautiful. Glossy box have their own packaging cardboard box, if that makes sense! So you knew exactly what the parcel was before you even opened it. Inside, you get a good quality pink box (perfect for up-cycling to storage) and inside that is the products wrapped beautifully in pink paper and black ribbon.

Whats inside the May box?

- Il-Luminate milk cleanser 200ml

- Dr Paw Paw original balm 25ml

- Sleek Makeup 'Eye & Cheek Palette'

- Scrub Love body scrub

- Ruby Blush

I must admit when I first received this box I was very disappointed, the items where nice but stuff I wouldn't personally choose to use on a daily basis or purchase on their own. However, I've saw so many other bloggers recommend the box and even friends in real life who've told me previously they've had some major 'bargains' and 'lovable' items. I've decided I will give the subscription another month to see whats included, if I feel the same I'm likely to cancel the box.

The milk cleanser was probably the first thing that caught my eye, for some reason when seeing it I was instantly reminded of Clinique's cleansing milk. I'm not sure if it will be great for my skin, I'l try it out and let you all know as I do have very sensitive skin (prone to breakouts or outbursts of oil when using different products).
