This months Glossy Box is aimed at providing essentials for London Fashion Week,
which I am a little gutted that I couldn't make but never mind I have Big Cat Week - haha lame!
I know there have been grumbles about this months box, particularly about there being a repeat product?
I have no idea but I can see both sides of the argument and now that I have had a little think about the box
I can truly see where Glossy Box are coming from in terms of the product choices.
I feel the concept behind this box was to provide travel friendly "safe" products,
as when most people attend events such as LFW they tend to travel from out of town.
By this I mean a range of items that will universally suit skin tones and skin types,
I haven't reviewed each product but I will briefly explain how they could be used as a travel essential!
Paul Mitchell Round Trip - Liquid Curl definer
A great product for packing in a case as let's be honest who can be bothered to always dry their hair?
A few quick spritz's of this and some hair scrunching and you will have defined waves or curls
depending on your hair type, it also helps to cut down drying time.
I'm casting this aside for my upcoming holidays...hello easy beach hair!
18-in-1 Hemp Rose Pure-Castile Soap
As mentioned this has 18 uses so what could be better for any travel emergencies?
You can use it to cleanse, as a bubble bath, hand sanitizer and to clean any minor clothing stains.
Not that you should have to but it could also be used to sanitize a less than sanitary hotel room.
A great little bottle of liquid to have for those just in case moments.
Invigorate Lotion
Pretty self explanatory really you use it to moisturise your body and hands.
It's a nice size for travel and smells nice and zesty.
DuWop Venom Lip Gloss in Buttercup
A nude toned lip plumper, small in size but a universally pretty shade that should suit most.
It can be used on it's own to provide a light nude glossy glow while plumping your lips
or layered over another lip colour to create your own custom colour.
BM Beauty Mineral Pigment Eyeshadow in Noir
The great thing about a black pigment is that it can be utilize in a large variety of ways,
you can of course use it as a black shadow on it's own or with other shades to create a smoky look,
you can mix it with water or a mixing medium to create a black liner
or you can mix the pigment into other colours to create a custom deep shade.
I do feel that everyone should own a black pigment to make the most out of their stash,
messy as they may be!

All opinions expressed are my own and 100% honest as always!
I love the Dr. Bronner's magic soap the most becuase it has natural ingredients where you know what's inside of the product and it's better for the skin and health . thanks for the share !

i got exactly the same as you apart from my magic soap thing is unscented! i hated my box, i dont have curly hair, and like bright colours, not BLACK or light coloured lip glosses. glossybox should know that, its all in my beauty profile. want to unsubscribe but that "mystery box" is too temping im scared to miss out!
ReplyDeleteah I see where you are coming from, I don't have a profile as I get mine as a PR sample so I get no special treatment. Sucks that you can't use your products and I understand your disappointment :( I hope next months box is more to your taste :) let me know next month your thoughts etc I would be really interested in hearing them :)
Deletewow the 18-in-1 soap seems like it's good for anything and any type of situation! Still not too sold on beauty boxes...

it really is :) yep they aren't for everyone :)
Deletea lot of people say dr bronners is fantastic for cleaning makeup brushes, especially the ones like flat tops where its hard to clean them because they're so tight!
ReplyDeleteOh I might try that :) thank you!
DeleteThe castille soap interests m the most but I think the black pigment is the most practical. You're right - it's a well thought out box for someone on the go.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I didn't like my feb box
ReplyDeleteI'm giving it away on my blog http://I-eat-London.blogspot.com
