July's Glossy Box

Today I came home to my first Glossy Box.  I had been a little unsure about keeping my subscription after the dissapointing box last month and the sneaky increase in price from next month (£10 to £12.95). I thought I would wait and recieve my first box and then decide. 


As I had been away I had been reading other people's blogs on the contents and checking the Glossy Box website. I was excited to see there was an Illamasqua product, a fragrance and some lashes so was excited to open my box today!


The box was beautifully packaged as you can see from the pictures

I love the little touch of the ribbon and paper hiding the contents, its like opening a little box of surprises!


The Contents

I was excited to see I had an Illamasqua Pure Pigment. It is my first product from them so am eager to try it!


The Ciate Nail Varnish was a nice surprise too. I had seen this mentioned on other blogs but never seemed to find it on my travels.


Weleda I have never heard of but that is the great thing about these subscriptions you get to try things you never would have before. It was the Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil and smells lush. I am going to review this soon as I am going to try this after my shower tonight.


LP Skin Therapy Lip Rescue Gel again I had not herd of. Apparently it is the part of the skincare range from Dr Linda Papadopoulos (the psychologist from Big Brother!!). I tried this today and actually quite liked it. My lips had been really dry and chapped all week and after using it stay moisturised for well over 4 hours and aren't chapped anymore. Surprisingly impressed!


Lastly I had the Ultra Sun Face 30. This is what let my Glossy Box down! Firstly considering there was the option for 2 types of false lashes or 3 types of fragrance I thought my box would be likely to have one of these which I would have been really happy with. Instead the Face 30 is really just a Suncream. Not very special or luxurious but of course that is my opinion.  I guess seeing the other options which included a bottle of Xen Tan  this was disappointing. Maybe I am being harsh but I guess when everyone gets different products and the others would have been more appealing it makes it a little disappointing.


Overall I am happy with my little box of treats so will keep my subscription for a while, but with my first Boudoir Prive box arriving next month it will be interesting to compare them.


Stay Beautiful,
