February Glossy Box Review

Hellooooo!

I hope you're all having a good week so far!! :)

I'm going to do my in depth review of the latest edition of Glossy Boxes which is the February Fashion Week Edition as this week is London Fashion Week! All the products in my box this month are designed to keep you looking and smelling your best throughout the day as well as to keep you going!

The Glossy Box colour is now back to the usual dusty pink instead of the Limited Edition 'December Christmas' and 'January Valentine's' boxes. This boxes came with several different 'cards' this month. Along with the usual products card, it also came with a leaflet with information on London Fashion Weekend and a 'Expect the Unexpected' card which is quite exciting!


So now you've seen all the not so exciting bits which I always show for new people to my blog we can now move onto what I received in my box this month! I'll also add in a point as to why it's great for 'keeping you looking and smelling your best throughout the day as well as to keep you going' for the theme of this month's box :)



Number 1. DuWop Venom Lipgloss (Buttercup)


This lipgloss is fantastic! It's one of those where it tingles when you have it on your lips and it plumps them slightly and it's been seen as an 'alternative to lip fillers' I don't think it gives that much of an effect, but it's nice to try something different! I got the colour 'Buttercup' and it's a lovely brown/beige/pink with sparkles although the pink doesn't show up too well in this picture. It's a small handbag size which is great for carrying around all day in your bag and topping it up as and when you need to!

RRP: £16.00

Number 2. Dr Bronner Lavender Hand Sanitizer


Hand sanitizers are always great to carry around for when you need a quick spritz but this one has the added bonus of having such a great scent to it too!
When you first spray it, it's quite faint but as it dried on your hands, the smell builds in strength to give a wonderful strong lavender smell as well as killing germs. It is also a fair trade product so if you like that sort of stuff along with all the other great features then this would suit you well!
It's also a good handbag size again so you can just use it as and when you need it :)

RRP: £3.99

Number 3. Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Relaxing Balm


I haven't used this product yet as I don't like to use too may products in my hair as it makes it greasy but I will try this at some point. It is designed to smooth and relax your hair. You'd use it while your hair is still damp and then style it normally to achieve a more relaxed hair style which would be great if you have wavy hair - like me! So I'll update this once I've used it and put up a few pictures of the finished look!

RRP: £15.25

Number 4. BM Beauty Pure Mineral Eyeshadow (Wolf Howl)


This colour is really beautiful blue/purple and full of sparkle and is called 'Wolf Howl'. However, it looks really pigmented but doesn't swatch very well and takes a lot of building up in order to get a good strong colour. I presume this is because it's quite a fine powder and maybe being a 'mineral powder' has something to do with it. So, it is a nice colour, but I'm slightly disappointed that it's so misleading with the pigmentation! :(

RRP: £7.00

Number 5. Como Shambhala Invigorate Shower Gel


I love shower gels which wake you up in the morning and smell really fresh and vibrant and this is one of those! It smells as though you've just walked into a spa. I have the scent 'eucalyptus, geranium, lavender and peppermint' which is a strong combination which really wakes you up and makes you feel fresh. This size is great for overnight travelling and fits to the theme of this box perfectly as it leaves a subtle smell on your skin too :)

RRP: £20.00
Available at: Como Shambhala.com

That's everything I've receiver in my Glossy Box for this moth so I'm quite pleased, but it's not the best one which I received so I'm slightly disappointed, but there are stil some good products and I still enjoying receiving it each month and finding out what I've got!
