So, I finally gave in and subscribed to the Glossy Box service after "uming and ahing" over it for months having watched beauty gurus on YouTube talking about the subscription.
My first box came a week ago, and its the Valentines edition...
I loved the packaging and was excited to see what was inside, however the contents of the box was a bit hit & miss for me ...
This is the Anatomical body cleanser (150ml), which has a floral/rose scent, but not too strong.
Reminds me a bit of Turkish Delight!?
Definitely something that will be used in my shower or bath.
This is Dr Renaud Raspberry soft cream for face & neck (30ml). The leaflet states its for dry skin, of which my face is not, so I have been using this as a hand cream. I have found it a bit greasy, but I am aware i'm not using it for its actual purpose ...
The scent is Raspberry & its amazing! Sweet but not to over powering, still very fresh. I used this at work and a couple of the other girls mentioned how nice it smelt and tried it out for themselves :)
This is a mineral Blush by MICA Bella Cosmetics in the colour Terra Cotta (0.8g).
I don't wear blush myself so this will be gifted, I don't think I could get away with using it as an eye shadow with my pale complexion... :-/
From what i see its a nice peachy toned colour and it has a shimmer to it.
This is a lipstick by HelenE Cosmetics in the colour Cafe au lait(3.5g).
Its not a colour I would use to be honest, its a goldey brown with a bit of shimmer to it. When I tried it on my lips it drained the colour from my face and looked very odd?!
So personally... its a no!
This is a makeup item I was glad to get and will definitely be putting in my make up bag. Its an eye shadow due by Model Co (2x 2.35g). The duo is called Bronzed Goddess and the 2 colours are called Maldives & Jamaica.
The colours are very pigmented and soft/smooth to apply, there is however quite a bit of shimmer to these colours! I wiped the swatches off my hand with a wet-wipe and now have glitter all over?! But with the right occasion I think this would make a gorgeous eye look! :)
Along with the above 5 items we got a heart shaped sweet lolly ...
But that was eaten on the day so nothing to show, sorry!
Until next time...
XOXO
i used to get glossybox but like you said, for me it was hit and miss and therefore i opted out of it but its interesting to see whats being put in them.
