How quickly has the time gone since I last posted about my April GlossyBox subscription? It literally seems like yesterday!
It was quite a special month for GlossyBox, being their 1st birthday & all. I can't quite believe it's only been a year for them; they seem so well established & in my eyes, leaps & bounds in front of other competitors.
There were a few lovely extras this month, to celebrate birthday-ness. Special wrapping, with cakes etc. a bright pink balloon, which I think is so cute & a little compact mirror, which is essential to any girl who loves her beauty.
NOBLE ISLE Summer Rising Cornish Hedgerows Bath & Shower Gel - This came in a lovely little travel size, so perfect for taking away on your jolly’s. I do have about a zillion body washes, but you can never be too clean eh? This smells soooo good. It’s a really fresh & citrusy gel; which sort of reminds me of the shower gels you get in swanky hotels, if you know what I mean!
LOLITA LEMPICKA Eau de Parfum & Si Lolita – OH MY. I am in love. These scents are actually amazing. I am particularly in love with the Eau de Parfum. Both are so florally, with little hints of musk to even out the sweetness. If it was food, I would definitely gobble it all up. I’m definitely going to buy the full size bottles.
OSMO Berber Oil™ Hair Treatment – I’ve only used this once & was quite impressed. The consistency isn’t dissimilar to Moroccan Oil; it’s quite thick, & not too runny. It smells super sweet, literally just like when you walk in to one of those old fashioned sweet shops. I’m not sure I’m a huge fan of the smell, it’s a bit too sweet for me; but the product works well. It left my hair super soft and smooth, when applied to damp hair before blow drying, whilst adding a little volume. One thing I would say is it didn’t leave my hair looking as shiny as other oils I’ve tried have.
ELDORA false eyelashes – I haven’t worn false eyelashes since I studied musical theatre at college, they’re not my favourite beauty accessory to be honest. I’ll let you know what I think once I’ve dared to try them :)
APIVITA Express Beauty Masks with Honey – Again, another product I haven’t tried yet. I’ve never heard of Apivita before, so I’m looking forward to giving it a whirl. Plus, I loveee honey. Nom.
I’ve seen quite a few reviews going around saying that they weren’t too thrilled with their contents this month; that previous boxes had over shone what people were expecting to be a ridiculously great box, considering the occasion. I think what people forget, is that this is a sample beauty box, to try products you wouldn’t necessarily come across otherwise, not a competition to see how many full sized products you can get for your money. I personally feel this is a great box, & well worth the £10! I received exactly what I signed up for, & yet again, I’m not disappointed :)
What did you think of yours this month? Or have you been tempted to sign up if you haven’t already?
I used to have the Si Lolita edp, so warm and spicy and yummy. That does look like a really cute box! I've never actually tried a Glossybox, I'm not really into the gamble with products I will or won't like (I am very, very picky) but they do look nice.
ReplyIt's such a lovely smell isn't it? I know what you mean, I'm always a bit wary, but the products are always of such great quality, that if you get something you're not keen on, you can give them as presents. Plus, you can always sign up to a box up to a week or so after it's been released. So if you liked the June box, you could sign up and cancel your subscription straight away :) sneaky, but there's not catches!x
I recieved exactly the same box as you - the hair oil smells like sweets its lush :)
ReplyI was really happy with mine, were you? I know, it's literally like pouring sweets on your hair haha :) x
I'm not a fan of glossybox normally, but I think their birthday box is their best yet. I can't see why any can complain, it's cute with the balloon and mirror!
