October GlossyBox

Hello again my sweets,

This is my second to last GlossyBox until I need to decided if I stay with these or change to a different subscription box, so I need your help! What do you guys suggest and which company do you think are the best?

This month the theme was 'Dark Romance' which I think is quite fitting as the days are getting shorted and winter is setting in! I think this winter will be the coldest for me as being a student I doubt I'll be able to afford heating :P



At first glance I wasn't overly pleased with the box this month because I feel once again they have sent me similar products that I have already received before and there isn't the variation I was hoping for :/ however when I read more in the products themselves I thing there are a couple which I might really enjoy :) once again I received a Glossy mag which just has some information about the GlossyBox HQ and some other products! I like this little bonus as it has some good stuff in :) 


Broadway Nails - I'm not a massive fan of fake nails as I find them a pain to apply and normally to long that I cant do anything when I'm wearing them! However these are easy apply that you just stick them on and they will last a week! These are also medium length which I think will work well for me :) just a glitter French polish which I think I might try out around Christmas when I want nice nails and not worry about chipping :) - Pack from £7.99

Premae Multi-Vit Serum - I think this might have been the product I was most excited about when I opened the box because I have never used a serum before so thought it would be nice to try one out just also this is aimed at combination skin which mine is :) it says it soothe redness and hydrate skin which is all I want! But also keeps skin matte and shine free :)  you use it before your moisturiser morning and night! - 50ml £22.50 

Monu Illuminating Primer - When it comes to primers I have no idea which ones are good and which are rubbish, so hopefully testing out a higher end one compared to some I have used in the past will show me their real power :) this one protects from UV damage and enhances your natural complexion :) you can wear it on its own or under make-up :) - 50ml £24.95

MeMeMe Cherub's Blush - This is a cheek and lip tint which is long lasting and easy to apply :) you can use it to add colour on your cheeks and lips going from day to night :) I like the idea of these but I have used Benefits one before and couldn't get the hang of it! I know people love these and swear by them so I might give it another go and see if I can master the art of liqued blusher :P - Full size £5.50

Katy Perry Killer Queen Fragrance - I love trying new smells and finding new perfumes however the bottle you get for this is enough for one or two wears and I guess you could get these free anyways! They say its a playful fragrance however I don't think with this size bottle you could get a real sense of it! I live so close to Fenwicks I normally pop in and try new smells so I could have just done that for this product! Think I might just pop it in my bag and use it for emergence use :P - 50ml £29.50

So thats it, October box done! Overall I think theres some good stuff but not my favourite box I have received! I'll have to see what November brings and see which company I sign up for in December but if any of you like a different company please let me know :)

September GlossyBox

Hello again my sweets :)

I know this is a bit late because I have had this box for ages now but I didn't want to leave the September box out so better late then never I guess :P

This month GlossyBox are celebrating London :) I just love the Union Jack this month and think these boxes are just great for keeping and reusing as they are really good quality and super cute!!

My internet is playing up so couldn't include all the photos I wanted but hopefully you get the idea.



This month there was a GB Mag in included as well as the description sheet of all the product that are include :) Its only small but includes some of the GlossyBox favourite items and this Autumns trends.

Toni&Guy Classic Shine Serum: This is the full size bottle and its limited edition. Its a high shine and gloss serum that also controls frizz! You use 1-2 pumps and apply to the ends of the hair :) I don't look after my hair every much so products like this make me think more about my hair care. My mum always has super shiny and lovely hair and I have always been so jealous!! She uses something along the same lines as this, so I'm excited to see if it makes my hair look as nice :) - Full size £7.19  

Rimmel Stay Blushed: I have always been rubbish at applying cream blushes so I was a bit worried I would be the same with this one! Its a blusher but in a tube, a small amount goes a long way so be careful when using! Its really light and meant to last 24 hours. Its a great colour for Autumn so think it will get a lot of use :) - Full size £4.49

Elizabeth Arden Untold: I haven't tried any of these fragrances before! The tiny bottle is really lovely and its a good size for a tester :) it has a lovely floral note to it which I love so this really is perfect for me. Its quite an expensive perfume so its really nice to be able to try it out :) 
- 50ml £48 and 100ml £69

Be a Bombshell Onyx Eye Liner: This is a felt tip liner and in the past I have found that most felt tips transfers on to the top of my lid which is really annoying! Hopefully this one will stay and wont keep transferring! Its really easier to create a thin or thick line with this pen by the way its shaped and says it dries within seconds!! I have to say I think a different product might have been a bit more beneficial as I received an eye liner in a box before! - Full size $14

Eylure Pre Glued Lashes: I have never owned a good pair of lashes before so it was nice to see these in my box! I don't wear them a lot but in the past I have only bought Primark ones which aren't the best :/ these are already glued so means less fuss however I'm not sure how long the glue will stay sticky! As I'm back to uni I am sure these will make an appearance soon. - One pack £5.06

Overall GlossyBox has been good again, I wouldn't say this has been my favourite box as I haven't fallen in love strange away with anything but its still nice to try everyone out :) 

What did you get in your box? And is GlossyBox something you would like to get?
