My very first Glossybox came in the post today and I am extremely excited! I came across glossybox.co.uk online by accident, while bored at work. I had been reading blogs and somehow ended up on glossybox.co.uk and I am so glad I did. I actually wish I had come across them sooner! The concept is great and I have missed a few cool boxes. I was lucky enough to get an amazing first box though, so no regrets.
Glossybox is a monthly subscription service. Register on their website and for a monthly fee of £10 plus £2.95 p&p you’ll receive 5 luxury product miniatures from high-end brands every month. Your Glossybox will be sent directly to your door every month along with product information and money off codes to buy the products online.
Products vary every month and not everyone gets the same box, so I was extremely happy to get the box I really wanted. I had to sit through a very long and boring day at work before I could finally go home and open my beautiful box. Needless to say it felt like the longest Tuesday ever.
My box contains:
- HD Brows Eye & Brow palette in Foxy
A palette of four matte shadows, that can be used as eye shadow, brow shadow and eyeliner which claims to last 24hrs. I will definitely be using this as eye and brow shadow but I’m not too keen on using shadow as eyeliner, as I prefer the effect I get from liquid eyeliners. However this would definitely come in handy if I was going away for the night or weekend and couldn’t pack a lot. Came with a £5 off code to use on HD Brows products.
- L’Oreal Professionnel Mythic Oil
A full size product! I’ve always used a serum on the ends of my hair because I dye it blonde which really dries it out, so I am really looking forward to trying this product on my hair. It’s enriched with a blend of avocado and grape seed oil. It claims to be suitable for all hair types and lightweight, leaving hair shiny and supple and I really hope it doesn’t weight down and grease my hair.
- Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse
I have wanted to try this product for a very long time now but as it’s quite expensive I’ve never really been able to justify it and have stuck to using baby oil, but if this really is as good as everyone says I may just be tempted to splurge and use my 20% off code from glossybox. It’s a multi-function dry oil made of 6 precious oils and 98% natural ingredients. It can be used on your face, body or hair.
Sample size of this signature fragrance from renowned celebrity makeup artist Mary Greenwell. I must say I’m not too excited about this one but it does smell nice. It’s not the kind of smell I would go for but I will either pop it in my bag for one of those days when I run out without my perfume on or give it to my Mum as it seems more like her kind of smell. Included is a 20% off code when purchasing a second product on her website, which I don’t think I’ll be using as I prefer designer fragrances.
This is the product I was longing for and actually jumped up with excitement when I saw I got the box with it. I have been working two jobs for the last 3 months and the bags under my eyes are huge, so I am really looking forward to using this. This is a new formula for even greater results targeting crow’s feet, dark circles and puffiness and I got a £10 off code for my next purchase!
I will be posting soon with my thoughts on the products. First off will probably be the StriVectin SD Eye Concentrate as I will start using it tonight.
I can’t wait for next month’s box!!!
