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
Available at:


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
Available at: Dr Bronner.com


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
Available at: Paul Mitchell.co.uk


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
Available at: BM Beauty.com


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!

Glossy Box December!

This is my first blog/review of a Glossy Box so it will be in a little more detail than the rest of the ones I'll do in following months but I'll keep it as interesting as possible! :)

So for December they changed the colour of the box from it's usual dusty pink to this gorgeous patent red. Inside the box, it has a bow tied around the products and is sealed with a Glossy Box sticker. It's always exciting to see what's in the Glossy Bx each month, that's part of the fun and the gorgeous products you get are a bonus!


Every month with your Glossy Box, you get a card showing you what you've got, how much it is in full size, where you can buy your own from, a URL to scan with your phone and sometimes they offer you exclusive offers on the products too! Along with this, this month, we also received a 'Glossy Box for Men' card advertising their new product available for males who want to experience Glossy Box too!




Number 1. Blink + Go Eyeshadow and Blush Palette

This is such a cute, handy compact. It comes with a small mirror, 6 eyeshadow shades, 2 blush shades and a double ended brush. It's just everything you need for a day out and is the perfect size for your handbag.
The colours are highly pigmented and vibrant. You can get different palettes but I love the one which I was sent as the colours are exactly what I would normally use. The eye shadows are perfect for smoky eyes and the blushes are beautiful.

I will add a photo of the colours close up as soon as I can!

RRP: £14.95
Available at: Blink and Go


Number 2. Cargo Cosmetics Classic Lip Gloss

I love this colour, it's a really light pink with lots of sparkle. It adds a shine and sparkle to your lips as well as a little bit of colour. One thing which I hate about normal lip glosses is that they're so sticky and your hair gets stuck to your lips which is so annoying, but this wasn't sticky at all and looks beautiful on, I'm so please with it!

RRP: £10.00
Available at: Cargo Cosmetics


Number 3. Deborah Lippmann Nail Varnish & Stripper to Go Sachet


I've never heard of Deborah Lippmann products before but I've already had a look at some of her polishes and they are absolutely gorgeous so I will be purchasing some of my own soon! This colour is gorgeous!! Its a purple/red/pink glitter filled colour and is so beautiful. It's called Razzle Dazzle so the name says it all really! I only tried it on one finger the other day but it looks great on and when I get round to wearing it, I'll take a photo and put the swatch along with a full review in a later blog! It also comes with this amazing nail polish remover which works amazingly, I was stunned by how quickly and easily it brought it off and I'll also be buying some of those too!

RRP: Polish £16.00
Stripper to Go (Pack of 6) £14.00
Available at: House of Fraser


Number 4. Nip + Fab Spot Fix


I, as a lot of us do have the odd development of a spot and it's one of the worst things and always appears when you least want it! I've always used face wipes and tea tree things to treat and blemishes but I decided to give this a go on a small red lump which was a little sore, I put a bit on before bed and by the next morning it had completely gone, and no more pain! I was so pleased and you can use it as and when you please so there are no time limits on how often to use it, it works instantly and I'm going to continue using it as and when I need to!

RRP: £9.95
Available at: Nip and Fab


Number 5. Rituals Foaming Shower Gel


If you've ever tried Imperial Lather Shower Gel and loved it, then you're most certainly going to love this! It's just the same, you put it into your hand as a gel and as soon as it touches water, it turns into a foam. I love it just for that reason never mind the refreshing smell. I received Fresh Eucalyptus & Rosemary which is great to use in the morning to wake you up and the foam is also good to use if you shave your legs in the shower too! :)

RRP: £6.50
Available at: Ritual Shops or Rituals Store Online

Overall, I'm please with this months Glossy Box and can't wait to receive next months and show you all! :)
