Glossybox May 2013*
Like all new start up companies, Glossybox has had it's ups and downs, but I would say that it's now better than ever. The last few boxes have really impressed me, and even though this isn't my favourite box (that accolade goes to the November box) I do like most of the products that they've choosen.
I'm already a big fan of the Caudalie divine oil, and as often is the case with Glossybox samples, it'll come in so handy for weekend breaks and short trips abroad. My trusty little sunflower cream is rich and moisturising, and I'm really liking the Givenchy dahlia noir sample. There's also a bonus pack of mini Glossybox nail files.
The only product that didn't impress me was the Beautiful movements prime & create mixing balm. I don't usually bother with primer, and because it's such a small sample I doubt I'd be able to test it out properly anyway.
Overall though, there's a good mix of skincare, bodycare and make up samples. Bar the Beautiful movements primer, all 4 products were generously sized, and I thought the addition of Glossybox mini nail files was a really nice touch.
Glossybox retails for £10, plus £2.95 P&P, available online at Glossybox.co.uk

Wow it includes Caudalie Divine Oil? That's wicked! I own one and it's my favourite body and hair oil ever. It smells so so so good!

It's lovely isn't it, so glad you like it too x
DeleteI am praying to get that oil, I'll be devastated if I don't
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed! x
DeleteYou got a lovely selection, i wish i got this box too! x
ReplyDeleteThanks lovely, always the way isn't it x
DeleteGod, such amazing products in this box! I'm still upset they don't deliver to my country. :( x
ReplyDeleteOh no :( They've been expanding quite a lot in recent years though, so hopefully it'll be available in your country soon x
DeleteI can't believe GlossyBox is two years old already! This looks like a good selection of products. x
ReplyDeleteTell me about it, where have the last 2 years gone?! x
DeleteI got the same box as you but my nail varnish was a different colour. I feel the same - the primer is too small to use - my nail extensions won' even get in the tub!
ReplyDeleteI blogged my box here - http://thepowderednose.blogspot.co.uk/
Glad you think so too. Hopefully we'll get bigger samples next time x
DeleteI didn't get the sunflower cream or the givenchy, I got l'occitane moisturiser and a nice mascara from a brand I hadn't heard of. Disappointed I didn't get the Givenchy but I'm pleased this blog has clarified why I didn't - I didn't realise everyone got a different selection, I thought I'd been short-changed for a minute there!
ReplyDeleteOh no, everyone gets different products, so it can be a bit hit and miss. Glad you liked the mascara though x
