May Glossybox

I actually forgot to post my Glossybox contents last month and cannot remember what was in there so it couldn't have been that great! This month however I am very impressed with and have already used all the products that were in the box.

I have always wanted to try John Frieda Frizz-Ease and never got round to buying it so I was very pleased to see it in the box. It is a full size product and at only 25ml it does seem quite small but as only a small amount is needed each use I think it could probably last a while, saying that we do have 3 females with frizzy hair in this house so it may not last too long!

I am not really a lover of foundation so when BB creams came out I was swayed by the fact that they cover your flaws but feel like a moisturiser. The Garnier BB cream covers really nicely and was a great shade which is suitable for myself and my daughter, who is a shade darker than me. This particular one also hydrates and protects with SPF 15.

Another 2 full size products were the Scholl overnight foot mask and the Maybelline crystallize nail polish in nearly black shade.

I have to say the velvet smooth overnight mask for the feet really did work. I had quite dry heels which felt rough to touch but after leaving this cream on overnight they really were velvety smooth. I do not recommend using this night mask when it is a hot or humid night though as my feet felt sticky through the night and made it uncomfortable to sleep.

I don't normally wear really dark nail varnishes and I don't think I own any black shades, I prefer pastel and pretty colours but it is nice to have a change once in a while. I have a St Trinians party that I'm going to at the weekend so I think I will wear this then. It is a little sparkly and rough to the touch, not smooth like most varnishes but still looks nice.

There was another full size product in the box which was a sheer conditioning lipstick but my daughter seemed to disappear with it before I could take a picture!

The 2 bonus items were the Ghost Eclipse fragrance which has a fruity, floral fragrance and is definitely one which I would wear, perfect for summer. And the other is the Garnier oil beauty lotion which I have not opened as yet but think I will use it on my legs when I get them out!

Were you impressed with your Glossybox this month?

March Glossybox

When I first opened this months glossybox I wasn't really filled with excitement but on closer inspection I thought the products were quite sweet.
Jasmin loved that there was a Sleek makeUP product as she said she loves this range although I have never heard of it (I'm just an amateur at this beauty thing!)

So here is what was in my box...

The Mitchell and Peach body cream is very pleasant, it says it will have you feeling like your walking through an English countryside. The scent is very floral, Jasmin said it just reminded her of a Lush bath bomb.

There are 2 sachets of Vita Liberata tanning lotion which look very luxurious. I have never used tanning lotion before and being half Indian I do have my own tan thing going on, although I do feel very pale in the winter! I am a bit worried about using a tan lotion out of a sachet as I don't expect it would cover much of the body and I would be left with just patches of colour.

Its nice to see a haircare product in the box (I definitely need it!) and I am a fan of Dove products. This is a 60 second treatment shot which gives your hair a keratin boost, leaving you with beautiful strong hair, I'm looking forward to using that later.

The Bellapierre shimmer powder is probably my favourite as it has a nice glittery look, not only is it an eyeshadow but it can be mixed into blusher, nail polish or lip gloss to make you shimmer all over! The shade is called Deja vous and I think I will wear it next time I go out.

When I first saw This pout polish I didn't even realise it was for your lips as the container is bigger than the usual size you see for gloss or balms. It is a tinted balm with SPF15, almond oil, Shea butter and vitamin E and feels nice and creamy on your lips.

Did you get a Glossybox this month, What did you think of its contents?

February Glossybox

Yesterday I got the latest glossybox in the post, but only just! I didn't hear the door knock but the man noticed a card being dropped through the letterbox and opened the door to find a ranting delivery woman moaning about how customers never open their door, and how they have rude neighbours who refuse to take in parcels... and there's me thinking I had nice neighbours!!

 Anyway back to the parcel in question. Myself and teen daughter were very pleased with this months box especially as it contained chocolate and one of my favourites, Lindt... yum! Shame I had to share it :(

 Here's what else was on offer..

The Nougat London sparkling body shimmer is a light moisturising lotion that sparkles in the light and has a lovely scent, Ive never heard of this brand before but will be looking out for other products from the same company.

NV chunky eye crayon is a pink shade and looks very natural on the eye, not to heavy or over powering. I love that it has a twist at the end so it doesn't need sharpening like some of the other pencils I have.

I already have a couple of Ciate paint pots and I love this shade called Pocket money. I would probably be wearing it right now except I cant find my nail varnish remover... grrr

The Giovanni Eco chic range is the number 1 selling natural haircare brand in the United States. I haven't as yet used this product but with the Moroccan argan oils, avocado and papaya to nourish the hair I'm hoping to look like Kim Kardashian by this time tomorrow...hmmm wishful thinking!

The teen got really excited when she saw the Maybelline New York big eyes mascara in the box. She has seen the advert and was desperate to get it for the small brush used on the lower lashes, it is a nice product but I have so many mascaras now I think the teen will steal this one!

I'm not liking the idea of sharing my box (yes I'm selfish, I know!) so was thinking of getting a different beauty box as well as the glossybox. I'm not sure which others are out there, any suggestions or links to other box reviews would be welcome...
