April Glossybox with Pearl Lowe

This months glossy has arrived!

 

Here's mine....First up the box itself is super cute. Very nice touch! Content wise I'm letting it sink in a little. There seems to be a million and one variations this month. Not just in shade/scent but product difference.

Here's mine....

Super to see my fave brand Illamasqua inside! Medium pencil in Elate, which is white. Yay. This is £13 to buy so already have my money back.

 

Nip + Fab mango smoothie baby butter. Again pretty happy as I love mango smells. The alternative pistachio I wouldn't much have cared for.

 

Etre Belle collagen and aloe mask - well I don't know a lot on this, and know have the one mask to try, according to the glossy leaflet it's worth €25.95 in a pack of 10.... It's a paper mask so good to scare the other half with one night maybe....mwahah!

 

Yves Rocher So elixir purple. A fragrance in a very cute bottle, 5ml so quite generous, and the smell is not bad actually. Floral and girly. For 50ml full size this is £44.

 

And finally....

 

Lipcote. My mum used to have this. Not very exciting and a repeat in the box for some. Oh dear. It would appear this is the substitute for a nice nail polish or Crabtree hand cream based on others boxes. So short straw maybe.....?!

 

All in all I'm pretty happy though. This will get me my dots for a freebie next month anyways!!

 

What do you think?

GlossyBox March 2013

I may have accidentally let my Glossy sub continue this month...oops. And well, I cant say I mind too much.

 

Here we have the March edition.... 'City Chic' being the theme this month, well I guess that's fitting with the contents...

 

Treseme Hairspray

Nails Inc mini in James St

Elizabeth Arden 8 hour Cream

Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush in a pink

and

Juicy Couture Perfume in Couture La La.

 

I quite like the lip blush I have to admit, its a nice pink shade for me and balmy with a sheen to it. Jelly Pong Pong have been seen in the boxes before though, so not new and exciting much. Some others have seemed less impressed, even with the red.

 

Treseme Hairspray - whilst this is good timing for me and my need of a replacement, wow glossybox. This shiz is exciting....not. HOWEVER, I suppose on the 'City Chic' girl on the go kinda box, this works.

 

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream. A skin protectant balm, this is much hyped product and on first glance its nice enough. May feel like your smearing Vaseline over your face BUT it does soak in nicely and isn't greasy. Will need further investigation I think.

 

Juicy Couture Perfume sample. I don't mind a perfume sample in a box, its nice, but on the whole, in comparison to a L'occitaine hand cream some got, not the same. Juicy Couture is a brand on the whole I'd avoid. It screams chav, fake handbags, and dog coats. No thank you please.

 

Nails Inc in St James, I like polish, I like Nails inc. I'm happy. Dunno why mine says Jermyn St though! Jermyn St being a beige/nude and this a red red red!!!

 

People get hung up I think on their box worth per item. Are you getting your £10+pnp's worth?? I believe the box will always be what you think its worth. And to me, I'll get the use out of everything here so overall I'm happy enough.

Brand wise its up there (no 99p eyeshadow palettes!!) but its not massively exciting and full of new brands. Cant nblame them with the mass saturation of beauty boxes/sample senders though I suppose!

 

Now I need to decide if Im goint to 'forget' about it again!
