July 2012 Glossybox

Hi guys. Its that time of the month for a Glossybox Review. I received my box this morning and I'm not too sure what to make of the box. The sizes of the full size products and their prices seem to be a bit messed up. For instance the MONU cream is £14.95 for 15ml and you get 20ml in the tester and the exact same thing with the lip frosting, so I'd like to know what's happening there.This month was a festival themed box, but enough of me talking, lets get onto what I got in July's Glossybox.



1. Regenerating Collagen Gel
To be perfectly honest I have no intention of making use of this product. I'm sure it does it's job fine, but it's not the product for me so I can't really comment. But it seems to be a decent size. The normal 50ml Gel is £47.25 and this has 15ml, so decent size for your money, but it's just not for me. (above)

2. Kryolan Satin Powder Eyeshadow.
I really like this eyeshadow. At first I thought "Orange, No way" but then after examining it closely I realised that when you smudge it, it turns into this beautiful shimmery pink. This is a full size product and it retails for £4.75. I think that this is a decent product.

3. MONU Calming Cream
I like the idea of this product. It is supposed to calm redness on the skin, so this would be great for those times. I am going to save it for the. This retails for £14.95 for 15ml (I think it means 150ml, you get 20ml in the sample)
4. Awapuhi Wild Ginger
This is a hair spray that creates a tousled beach look. It has a divine smell, this is due to the ginger and i can't wait to give it a go. You get 25ml so I think this is a decent size, after all its a box full of 5 luxury samples. Full size is £18.95 for 150ml. 
5. Jelly Pong Pong Lip Frosting
I Love love love this product. It's so smooth and nice on your lips and it also has a gorgeous colour. I would say sort of a pinky shimmery sort of colour. My colour is called Irish Cream Pavlova. The size is very cute and perfect for a handbag. The full size is £10.00 for 15ml (think its meant to be 150ml you get 20ml in the sample) Above is how it looks on the lips. ;)
6. Elizabeth Arden Face Stuff
This is a small added bonus this month. It has a few skin type things and I'm not too bothered about it. It's a nice bonus. 

So this month was ok. This is the first month where I've not been over the moon, especially as some subscribers got a HD Brows palette, which made me green with envy :P. I'm going to carry on for a couple more months and if they aren't as good, then I'm going to stop subscribing. Lets hope the next couple of boxes are good or I'm going to say BYE. :)
Thanks for reading
Please follow my blog, I would appreciate it.

Glossybox April 2012 - Natural Box

If you read my previous post you would know that I took part in the two for one offer at Glossybox last week. I encountered a problem as on the GB Facebook page it said the extra box was only for new subscribers. I was worried, however the box turned up this morning and I was delighted to the find the natural box inside GB's gorgeous packaging. GB have really put lots of effort into this box. The packaging is GORGEOUS! But anyway, on with the products. 
1. Burt's Bees Milk & Honey Body Lotion
I have always wanted to try a Burt's Bees product ad let me tell you they are really amazing. The consistency reminds me of Shea butter, and the smell is divine. It really does smell of milk and honey. On my hands, as I said, it felt like Shea Butter and I love how it felt. Really great product and I great size to just put in your bag on your way out. 
2. Figs & Rouge Balm - Cherry Vanilla
 This was one of the main products that I wanted in this Glossybox and I am so pleased. And i'm not disappointed. It is so soothing and tastes really minty and it smells gorgeous. This is the best lip balm by far and I am definitely going to go and purchase another when this one is gone. It's 100% pure, natural and organic and mine is cherry vanilla flavor. I'm also in love with the tin it is so cute and perfect for a handbag. So I officially in love with this product.
3. Monu Collagen Cream 
This cream is probably one of the products that will sit on my shelf because I don't need a cream for dry or dehydrated skin. But I am pleased with the size and it smells really good :). 
4. Caudalie Serum
I'm afraid I can't really comment on  this product because my skin doesn't lack moisture or need a serum because I'm still quite young. So this product has gone to my mum and she said she would get some use out of it.
5. Inka Eyeliner - Graphite
I was so worried that my inka product would be a lip liner but fortunately it was a eyeliner in a gorgeous colour. Its 07 Graphite. I love how it has a symbol on the packaging which means the eyeliner is cruelty free and environmentally conscious. This is my favourite product. The consistency is creamy and smooth and I love the whole product :) Can't wait to wear it out. I have included a little swatch to show you the colour.
So that was my natural box. I'm so pleased. I hope the actual box for this month is decent and when it arrives I will be doing a review on it. Can't wait. Until then
