Glossybox has been a lovely treat to receive every month, I like the element of surprise and I get my beauty fix for a great value. It's a great way to try new things, I would really suggest it for bloggers, makeup artists and beauty enthusiasts. I looked into quite a few boxes but liked the overall content of Glossybox the most, then I saw a voucher for 40% off so thought ah may as well. I chose the monthly option which allows you to unsubscribe at any time, just in case I was disappointed. The longer you agree to subscribe the cheaper it is a month.
OCTOBER
My favourite/most used items from the October box would have to be the Nicka K Airbrush blending sponge and the Lanolips lip ointment.
1 The Lanolips lip ointment in rhubarb is becoming empty rather quickly. I get terribly dry lips this time of year, as well as conditioning the lips the shade and slight glossiness was aesthetically pleasing also.
3 This box included a full size moisturiser called Talika photo hydra day. I sometimes use this as a base for my foundation. It didn't feel greasy, which I hate and it didn't feel heavy either. You can tell it's an expensive item, this moisturiser alone cost £24.85.
4 The Jelly Pong Pong play paint is great as a little can go a long way so you get the benefits of using it on your cheeks and lips and will last ages. You only need to use a tiny amount, it was good for me as I can look a bit washed out and pale during the winter and saves people from telling me I look ill when it's just my face.
NOVEMBER
1 The MUA eyeshadow palette has great shades for both day and night. I wasn't feeling optimistic about the quality as it's so cheap but the colours came out well and had good pigmentation. I thought this palette was great and I've already used it loads.
2 Revlon super lustrous lipstick. This lipstick felt and looked gorgeous! This month you got to choose from four shades. I chose the nude as I had an abundance of the other hues, I also like to wear quite dark heavy eye makeup so subtle lipstick shades are appropriate for me.
3 Emite diamond heart primer. It had a slight peachy tone to it which helped even out my skin tone and I looked so healthy. I looked radiant so how can I not love a bit of that. Very pleased.
4 It was nice to see some Eyelure lashes in there, I adore eyelure. These are the natural lashes. I don't actually wear big heavy lashes, I love them but they do not suit my eye shape. They are very subtle but better than mascara alone.
5 The Royal Apothic body lotion contains lactic acid from milk proteins. I use this when I come out the bath, it feels refreshing and I stay hydrated for ages.
Looking forward to next month
