It's been a while since I have posted about any sample boxes and that is purely because none have blown me away. Although this months Glossybox may not be groundbreaking there is no denying that it is packed with great brands and products that I would actually reach for.
This months box is based on the concept is being groomed at all times, well should you wish and features a good amount of travel friendly and well know brands.
Less teasing and more revealing (if I was a stripper that would so be my motto!):
- Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream - I have blogged about my love for 8 Hour Cream numerous times and that of course has not changed. This medicated balm is my favourite heavy duty lip balm as it soothes and heals cracked and weather beaten lips but you can of course use it anywhere on the body you wish. The ml size is pretty generous as far as samples go and I think it is the perfect handbag size.
- Juicy Couture, Couture La La - Again something else I have blogged about in the past, I find Juicy Couture, Couture La La EDP to be the perfect light floral but slightly fruity scent and highly rate it for the milder weather, however I don't really enjoy perfume sample vials and render them pretty useless.
- Nails Inc in St James - A classic bright red nail polish is never going to go a miss, couple that with the brilliant Nails Inc formula and you have a winner. I often purchase the mini sets of Nails Inc polish as the formula never fails to please me so this is a very welcome addition to my little collection.
- Tresemme Extra Hold Hairspray - There will come a time in ever female's life when they will wish they had a can of hairspray available to hand be it to tame wild hair or to prevent their tights from laddering further or perhaps to stop a bleach stain from settling. Well if you get this months Glossybox you too can be one of those annoyingly prepared for everything or of course you could pop along to Boots and buy a can. Weird rambles aside I often use Tresemme hairspray and have to say I have issues with it what so ever, it does exactly what it says on the tin so to speak.
- Jelly Pong Lip Blush - The only full sized product in the box which is worth more than the entire box including p&p at £12. Essentially this is just like most chunky crayon lip stains out there like the offerings from Revlon et al, nice enough but considering the price is on par with the likes of Clinique I doubt i'd buy another.
All in all a great box wouldn't you agree?
P.S Look out for the super cute stickers within the free Glossybox Traveling Book,
I have used mine to quickly decorate the actual Glossybox as a little keepsake box to keep all my old travel tickets and tid bits.

I signed up to Glossybox recently so am awaiting my first box- which will be March's! I like the sound of the lip crayon, it looks lovely x
ReplyDeleteI was looking forward to this box as it's my birthday next week, now not so much! :(
ReplyDeleteThey give you some great stuff in the box, I have been thinking about joining the Glossy Box for a while now xx

Lucky you. Im not so impressed with swedish glossy... Wonder how they do it? It should be about the same right??
ReplyDeleteThis does not excite me in the slightest! I love Nails Inc but they are always featured! Where's all the other polish brands that are yet to be discovered?!
ReplyDeleteThe Nails Inc and 8 Hour Cream make this box worth it. Hope I get them in mine!

Those stickers are adorable! I hope I get some of these products in my box, I'd totally forgotten mine was coming until I saw this post. So excited now :)
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a good box, but they featured Nails Inc a few months ago, so it'd be nice to see some different brands I think x
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good box with the great products to try out! Has tempted me to sign up!

This actually looks great. Really surprised as I haven't been that inclined to get back on the glossy box bandwagon until now. Would have actually been happy with everything in this box!

This has a range of products, but I'm actually glad that I unsubscribed as I have similar products. I love the little stickers though!

The items in this box definitely rocks! How I wish it was available here too. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the best glossybox I've seen yet!
ReplyDeleteA little bit Unique

I just got my first subscription box and I was quite disappointed, as it contained samples not worth the actual cost of the box. Maybe I should consider something well-known as Glossybox in the future...
ReplyDeleteThis box looks amazing! Mine hasn't come yet but I'm really hoping I get the 8 hour cream, I love that stuff! Love the idea of decorating the box to keep travel bits in, definitely going to copy! I'll link back to you on my blog though to give you the credit you deserve! Great idea x x

I think I'd like to subscribe to Glossybox. These products don't get me really excited but I've seen reviews before and it looks well worth the money for what you get :)

I've subscribed for 4 months now and was beginning to get a bit fed up with it having received some rather dodgy samples, but this month's box is by far the best. Sooo pleased and if they can keep this up, I'll continue to subscribe.
ReplyDeleteI just subscribed this month and got the same stuff apart from the perfume. I got a face mask instead. Does everyone get something different?
ReplyDeleteJust received this months glossy box and I am loving the lip stain. I never thought I would be able to pull of the pink but as it is sheer and very buildable it actual looks nice on and I have an olive skin tone.
ReplyDeleteFor saying this is my second glossy box I love it and can't wait till next months.

I got the same box as this, but I didn't really like what I got. I don't think I'll be using any of the products...

I have umed and aard about Glossybox, still not convinced. The sample perfume is a real let down, easily pick it up for free.
