Glossy Box-March 2017

I absolutely love getting a monthly little treat. After a few dull weeks I tend to forget that I have subscribed to Glossy box and so when I get home from work and see a parcel lying on the table I get a little flutter of excitement inside me! If your not familiar with Glossy Box it’s a monthly subscribption based beauty box that comes with 5 different items each month.

Sleek Eye &Cheek Palette- A Midsummers Dream- RRP £10

This months box wasn’t so much of a surprise though as Glossy Box gave their subscribers a choice of which Sleek palette they wanted this month. I’m glad they gave me this option because out of the four palettes to choose from there was only one that I thought would suit me, however all the palettes were equally lovely. This palette has four eye shadows and two blushers and the colours are absolutely stunning. I haven’t used this on my eyes just yet but I have finger swatched all the colours and they seem really pigmented, especially the bronze shade and I can’t wait to try out some eye looks with these colours.

Schwarzkopf Got 2 B Styling Primer – RRP £4.18

I also received this hair product from the Schwarzkopf Got 2 B range, I have tried out some of the products from this range before ( I absolutely love the hairsprays) but I am yet to try a styling primer. This is a new kind of product for me as I don’t really venture out into hair styling that much with my job my hair has to be tied up and then on a weekend I usually just have it down straight so I am hoping to get some use out of this and try something new with my hair – maybe try out some curls! This product has a lovely coconut scent to it and it works by applying a few pumps into damp hair for “perfectly controlled and shiny locks” I will give this a go this weekend and I will do another review!

This Works – In Transit Camera Close Up – RRP £30

Next in the box was this 3-in-1 product. This claims to be mask, moisturiser and a primer all in one- perfect for lazy people like me. I tried this out this morning as a primer for my makeup, so far so good. I tend to suffer with oily skin and my makeup seems to be lasting well. This cream doesn’t really have much of a scent to it and for the price tag I would expect it to feel a bit more luxurious. I don’t think I would be willing to spend £30 on this even if it does say that Victoria Beckham uses it. I’m sorry no primer is worth that much and there are equally as good drugstore primers out there.

Hydra-Activ Day Cream – RRP £28

The one thing about Glossy Box is that I always seem to get a lot of skincare. As much as I do like skincare I feel like every month I get a sample sized moisturiser, it’s just a bit excessive. I haven’t got around to trying this cream out yet but I have high hopes as it claims to include Vitamins A, C and E just what my skin needs at the moment a little pick me up. I do sometimes get quite anxious trying out new skincare as I do suffer with a lot of breakouts and my skin is particularly bad at the moment. My faviourite moisturiser is the Nip + Fab Kale fix moisturiser, maybe this one can beat it!

oOlution Eye Love – RRP £30

Glossy Box included some samples of some really high end products this month. £30 for an eye cream I’m not sure I would be able to justify that amount however I am glad that I do get to sample some of these products it’s a luxury for me! This eye cream claims to help dark circles and puffiness which I sadly suffer with so I was really excited when I seen this in the box. I have been using it since I got it and I can say that I do actually think it has helped my dark circles slightly. I do feel quite nice and refreshed applying this to the skin in the morning as the texture is very nice and light. If I continue to see improvements then maybe it will be worth the price tag after all?
