Glossybox December 2014

It's the one we've all been waiting for! The December edition of Glossybox has always been one of their best so when it landed on my doorstep I couldn't wait to see what was in store for us this Christmas. Housed in a festive red and blue gift box December's Glossybox features five items, four of which are full sized and the fifth being a generous travel sample:

Glossybox December 2014

 Glossybox December 2014:
Tresemme renewal hair and scalp 60 second treatment shots
So susan concealer quad
BellaPierre cheek and lip stain
Anatomicals day and night spot stick
SkinPrep hydra boost pure hyaluronic acid serum

 Glossybox December 2014 - So Susan concealer quad and BellaPierre cheek

On opening the box I wasn't initially wowed like in previous years. Perhaps my expectations were too high but I would have loved a red lipgloss or glittery nail polish for that extra festive touch. That said it's still a good value Glossybox and I'll happily use up all five samples. Of the five I'm most looking forward to trying Bellapierre cheek and lip stain which looks like the perfect winter flush shade and Skinprep hydra boost serum which sounds like a good alternative to Hydraluron. The Tresemme hair shots will also come in handy, especially now as my long hair is starting to get damaged again.

Looking back through the last 12 months I feel like beauty boxes have all stepped up their game and although there's not always a standout item, generally the boxes are more consistent and the samples more exciting. It'll be interesting to see what's in store for 2015 but I'm hoping beauty boxes will showcase some newer brands and hopefully include more cult classics too. 

Glossybox RRP £10 plus £2.95p+p, available online here.
