March Glossybox - Step Into Spring

Hey Hey!

 

As promised I'm back with a peek at the beautiful new box of titillating treats from Glossybox.

 

The box contains 4 full sized products and a pair of tester products.

 

The products are a mixture of nail products, hair care, beauty and skin care. Often a few products in these boxes are hit and miss but I definitely think I will make use of all of the products I was sent this month.

 

 

First up......

NAOBAY - Moisturizing Peeling.

This is a full sized product, and is priced at £13.71 for 100ml.

  

 

This is described as an organic peeling milk containing particles from the acai tree, which help remove dead skin cells and brighten the skin. It has a luxurious texture and a fresh almost slightly citrus scent, perfect for refreshing your face this spring. The packaging is in my opinion a high point of the product, simple and understated, I love the wood used to create the lid. You can purchase this product here, I certainly will when I've worked my way through this tube.

 

Essence - Lash Princess Volume Mascara.

 



Another full sized product, this one priced at £3.30 and available here. Now, I have allot of mascaras, it's one of my favourite cosmetics. I do really like the packaging of this, it's attractive and fun. But I think the wand is a little on the small side, it doesn't really create the volume it promises but will be an ok daytime, basic look mascara. Overall for the price I don't think you can really complain, although after using the product, and looking through the website I would say this product is better aimed at teenagers just starting out with make up.

 

Now a look at my favourite item from this months Glossybox!

ncLA - Nail Lacquer.

 

 

I LOVE ncLA products so was really excited to see this gorgeous spring colour peeking at me from within my box of treats!

I was sent a full size bottle of colour 'LIEK...TOTALLY VALLEY GIRL'. Available for £13 via this lovely site.

I love the pigmentation of this vibrant neon pastel pink, and the coverage after just two coats is excellent, not to mention the the durability, ncLA never fail on that front! Definitely one to buy if you're looking to update your nails for spring.

 

Now onto the final full sized product in my March box.

Carmex - Moisture Plus Ultra Hydrating Lip Balm.

 

Again a product I love. I'm not a fan of lipstick, I find it feels very heavy on my lips, so I love having a new tinted lip balm or gloss to try out, and this one has made it into my handbag! Not surprisingly I have used many Carmex products, they have been around for over 75 years after all, and this one is just as good, the shea butter helps this product keep my lips silky soft with just a hint of tint, perfect for the warmer weather on its way (hopefully!).

You can pick your up by visiting here and parting with just £4.49.

 

Last, but not least, my little tester treats, which are perfectly sized for travel!

Dove Advanced Hair Series - Youthful Vitality Shampoo and Conditioner.

 

These are fantastic travel sized products, each one is around 12ml, great for a cheeky weekend trip!

I'm yet to use these items, but I have used Dove hair products many times, I have difficult dry, frizzy hair and love the moisture Dove provides. These products smell gorgeous which is plus!

If you would like to buy the full sized items you can visit your local supermarkets and drugstores, each one costs around £5.99.

 

So that's it.....or at least it would be! This month marked a year of me first subscribing to Glossybox, so the lovely guys send me a little present!

 

 

How cute and thoughtful!

I love making notes, it keeps me sane, so I will definitely get loads of use from my new Glossynotes note book! Thank you Glossybox!

 

After a year I think I have had enough time to forge a good opinion of the service provided by Glossybox, and I can honestly say I have thoroughly enjoyed receiving my boxes each month. Sure, not all products are perfect for everyone, but that's understandable, 99% of the time I will make use of each thing I'm sent, and the tings I won't I can pass on to friends or family. I will definitely continue to subscribe.

 

If this little ramble has inspired you to give it a go, you can sign up here, each box is £10 plus £3.25pp, great value in my opinion.

 

I hope you've enjoyed having a look at this box, if you already subscribe let me know what you though of the picks this month! And if you decided to sign up, enjoy!

 

Enjoy your week lovelies,

 

Much Love

Glossybox UK - February 2015 - The Love Edition.

 

 

Hey Hey!

 

Guess who's back, back again.......

Today I will be sharing the gorgeousness that is the February 2015 Glossybox.

 

Glossybox is a fantastic monthly subscription service, priced at £10 per month plus £3.25 p&p. Each month I am sent a selection of beauty products, some being full size and others sample. The boxes are often themed, depending on the time of year, eg: Christmas, Summer, Winter and so on.

 

This month, not surprisingly was Valentines themed, The Love Edition.

 

 

I LOVE the themed boxes all of the time, but this one is just beautiful!

This month when I opened the scrummy packaging I was met with 5 products, all of which i'm sure I will get full use of, which is exciting and very rare for me with my monthly subscription boxes.

 

 





 

The first product that caught my eye, purely because of the mouth watering packaging the Royal Apothic 'Tinties'.

 

 

A wonderful, moisturising lip butter. I was sent it in the shade 'Coral'. Each beautiful pot contains shea butter and three oils, argan, grape seed and almond making it super nourishing.

The brand originates in Los Angeles and  is said to be a favourite of Victoria Beckham.

The lip butter costs around $14 and can be purchased here .

 

The next item I noticed purely because of the size!

Wilkinson Sword - Hydro Silk.

 

 

Who doesn't want silky smooth legs in time for Valentines day!?

This razor is priced at £9.99 and claims to keep your skin hydrated for up to 2 hours after use, it has a water activated bar of moisturising serum containing shea butter and five, yes five blades.....smoothness here I come!

I'm sure these can be picked up in most drugstores, but if not you can click here and grab yourself one. 

 

Up next is a product from a range I have tried and tested before, and actually like quite a lot.

So Susan - Rose Quartlet Lip & Cheek Palette.

 

 

How cute is this?!

This contains a mix and match combination of lip and cheek products in a handy sized product, along with a tiny, tiny brush!

So Susan definitely have a fan in me.

This can be picked up for £8 by clicking here .

 

Now i'll move onto mascara! I have 'just a few' in my collection already, but in my opinion you can never have too many, so I was pleased to see the B. Cosmetics mascara colour 100 Black.

 

The packaging is very subtle, just a clean charcoal/black casing. This full sized item is priced at £9.99 and claims to lengthen, volumise and condition using Lush Active. I do have my favourites when it comes to mascara but i'll definitely give this a good try!

You can buy yours here .

 

Finally an item inspired by the movie topped to be the film of the year, 'Fifty Shades of Grey', I have been sent the MARSK - Mineral Eyeshadow in the shade Fifty Shades.

 

 

This picture really doesn't do this product any justice, I love the deep grey, it has a shimmer too which is a winner in my book, I can't wait to try it out this weekend when I go to see the film!

Even better the mineral-based shadow is 100% natural and highly pigmented so will either create a really dramatic look or go a long way. This little beauty can be picked up here and is £14.49.

 

So that's it, except wait......The gorgeous folks over at Glossybox included a super cute and tasty treat!

 

 

Who doesn't like Love Hearts, especially when it Valentines Day!

 

So that's it folks! All in all I loved this months box, admittedly a few of the recent Glossybox's have been a bit hit and miss for me, but this month they hit the spot on every level, I love every product and will make good use of them all. I definitely this this monthly subscription box is worth the cost. As a busy mumma and wife, I sometimes forget to think of me, so having the lovely chaps at Royal Mail drop this at my door once a month gives me a little treat, in all honesty I forget about each box until it arrives so it's a lovely surprise too!

 

Don't forget if you would like to become a subscriber you can do so really easily over at glossybox.co.uk .

 

I do hope you have enjoyed this post, pop a comment below if you would like this to become a monthly post on the blog!

 

For now i'll say goodbye, but I will be back later this week with a look at a few of the Valentines treat my gorgeous husband and I have picked up this year! In the meantime, pop over to Facebook, Instagram and twitter etc and follow along with me!

 

Much Love,
