GlossyBox Valentines Day Edition

Mornin' Lovelies!

I was sent a GlossyBox to review a couple of months ago, and was thrilled to have a Valentines Limited Edition box drop on my doorstep recently full of lots of goodies! Great little pick me up!

I have a lot of love for GlossyBox, I think they're a right good girly treat for some epic pampering fabulousness! Each month a new box turns up with some great new products to try out, like I've said before, if you are on a bit of a budget and want a little pick me up treat the GlossyBox concept is great for just £10 per month (plus p+p) you can have a little treasure chest of loveliness!

I was quite impressed with the Valentines Day Edition, included was an Eyeko Skinny Eyeliner in Powder Pink, a Murad primer, a First Aid Beauty (FAB) body wash and a Davines Moisturising Balm and Cleansing Nectar.

Davines Cleansing Nectar

I am yet to try out the Davines cleanser or the Murad primer, but I have given the Eyeko liner, Davines balm and the FAB body wash a try.

The Eyeko liner is in Powder Pink, it's a great shade to go with this seasons pastel trend but I have to admit, it's not really a colour I found I could do much with. I gave it a go but ended up using it on the inner corners of my eyes just to lighten them up a bit, maybe it's my lack of makeup artistry skills or this colour just doesn't work for me? The pencil itself is great, a lovely soft, sturdy liner, I will definitely be looking into buying shades more suited to me from the brand. I wasn't familiar with Eyeko but now I am I shall be having a delve into what else they offer.

The Davines items are really interesting as they are multi-purpose and designed to work on face, body and hair. My first thoughts were that they would be perfect for traveling as you have multi use essentials to save on carrying a million different little pots and containers. The balm is particularly nice, I have had really dry hands just recently and used a spot of it to try and perk them up a bit. A little bit goes a long way and the smell is fabulous, they are also made from nearly 100% all natural ingredients, definitely a great little treat!

And lastly I gave the First Aid Beauty body wash a go. I have had a hell of a cold just recently which has left my skin very dry and chapped around my nose. The wash was really gentle and wasn't overpowered with a tarty scent like a lot of facial washes, it has definitely relieved my skin of some of the redness that it had which is good and has left it feeling super clean. A full size bottle is between £10.00 and £13.00 dependent on where you pick it up from, which I don't feel is a bad price at all for a good wash if it works well for you. This is why something like GlossyBox is a great idea, you get to give things a try for a very small price!

Glossy are also running a Valentines Day competition at the moment to win a trip for 2 to Paris! Head over to the GlossyBox Facebook page to enter there's only a short time left to be in it to win it!

Big Love!

GlossyBox!

Evenin' Lovelies!

How are we all today? I have just got home from a super long day at work, its tough at the moment but I'm getting through (just about!), but I have just walked in the door and before even sitting down my eyes fell upon the GlossyBox sat on my kitchen counter that Mr Postman has delivered for me today! YAY!

The lovely peoples over at the GlossyBox team very kindly offered to send me a box to review and well, I jumped at the chance! Now, as you know, I do like to delve into the odd bit of beauty blogging, being a massive girly girl and a fan of lotions, potions and new remedies to try so it was only right to give it a go! I have received October's box which includes:

• Dermalogica Age Smart MultiVitamin Thermafoliant
  
• Dermalogica Age Smart MultiVitamin Power Recover Masque
• Leighton Denny Expert Nails, Nail Polish
• Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner
• Robert Piguet Eau De Parfums
• Dermalogica Ager Smart Renewal Lip Complex (With beauty bag)

I have to say I really love this box and I love the GlossyBox concept. For £10 a month you can be delivered 5 trial size luxury items to play with! For me, I have always wanted to try Dermalogica but haven't really had the cash to splash out on a full size item at the drop of a hat without knowing if it works for me or not, so this is perfect. If I like the item I can go and purchase it either via the GlossyBox website or elsewhere, everyone's a winner! I have even discovered brands I hadn't heard of, like Leighton Denny (yeh I know, where have I been?!).



As you can see the box arrived beautifully packaged in a lovely gift box, tissue covered inside all tied up with a little pink ribbon, really luxurious and perfect if you wanted to get one of these as a gift for somebody, I know I would be really pleased to receive one! (Hint hint lads!). I was thinking about the gift subscriptions for this and have just tweeted the GlossyBox team suggesting that maybe they could look into offering gift vouchers as part of a gift subscription package so if you were lucky enough to receive a box and found something you loved, you could go and treat yourself with the vouchers received too! But this is just an idea I have thrown at them.....who knows aye!? They also have a rewards scheme going on, where you can earn 'GlossyDots' which you can collect to get yourself a free box, friend recommendations and reviewing products will earn your dots and get you on your way to a freebie!

I am yet to try the items, but am very much looking forward to giving them a go, but I do definitely recommend checking them out and seeing if it's for you! I would love to hear your thoughts! So, go go go!

P.S theres also a quarterly GlossyBox offered for all you metrosexual males!

BIG LOVE!
