Once again this month’s Glossy Box review is very late! But at least it’s given me time to properly use the products to give a better and more honest review! The December Glossy box was full of lots of lovely goodies as you can see in the picture, really impressed with it and well worth my £12.95! By the way Ive had a lot of people ask me how they can get one of these boxes so… If you just click on the link here, just click now, there is also a similar samples box called JolieBox UK which I might sign up to next month, check it out here.
MeMeMe Seventh Heaven Face Base £15.00
I would really recommend this primer. It feels really light on the skin and gave it a really nice texture and smoothness to aid with the application of my foundation. It didn’t feel greasy either which has been the case with some primers I have bought before. It smells really nice as well which is a bonus. The sample size is a nice amount and will probably last a while as I dont wear it that often. This is quite expensive but primer is a luxury product and I’m yet to come across a good cheaper one.
Rituals Foaming Shower Gel £6.50 Mandarin and Mint
This was probably the product I was most surprised about. It’s actually really nice, it’s a bit strange to get excited about shower gel so I wont go on too long. But it has a really nice smell and I like that it foams and it feel quite luxurious on the skin. I wish I’d receive the Yogi Flow pink bottled gel, mainly for aesthetic purposes and the scent sounds gorgeous! – Indian Rose and Almond Oil might splash out when I run out of the other.
Deborah Lippmann Razzle Dazzle Nail Polish (£16.00) & Stripper To Go Removal Glove (£14.00 for 6 sachets)
This was my favourite of all the samples this month. The colour looks fab over the top of my Models Own shade- Purple Grey. (Original name there Models own!). Its really glittery and a lovely berry shade. need sa coat of clear over the top to make it last. Although, again for me , £16.00 is way too pricey for a nail polish. I’d go £10 at max if it was something really special.Heres a better picture of it here. The website has some gorgeous shades though and some lovely glittery ones, have a look here. I don’t want to waste my nail polish removal glove yet so I havent used it. I like to keep things like that for emergencies. I’m not sure what kind of emergency would require a nail polish removal glove but there we go!
Blink + Go High Definition Mascara
To be honest I havent tried this yet but it’s a full size sample, which is great as it would be £12.95 full price. The brush however is not a silicone brush so I’m doubtful that it will be able to perform as well as my current mascara, False Lash Effect by Max Factor which is great value for money and better than any high end mascara I’ve tried. I’ve never heard of the Blink + Go brand before either but looking at their site they also do false eye lashes in some nice styles if you care to have a browse.
Cargo Class Lip Gloss $14.00/ £8.96
Not going to bang on too much about this one as I dont wear or like lipgloss. If it had been a darker shade than the one you see pictured I may have tried it but to be honest I’ll probably end up throwing it away! But the rest of my samples more than make up for this one.
