First Impressions: Glossybox January 2014

Hey guys, so today I'm going to be doing a first impressions/review of Januarys Glossybox Inside the box you get 5 samples of either beauty, nails, hair-care, skin-care or a fragrance. You also get a magazine and a little card saying what products you get and how much a full sized product is. It's £12.95 a month including post and packaging, you can check out more of their plans here.






When I saw two tiny tubes of this I cried a little, why couldn't the company just make a bigger tube? And it made me feel prejudice towards this brand, but I read the information sheet it came with and thought ah that's why the tubes are so small. As the sheet says that a little goes a long way and you can use it on any dry areas, so I put a speck of it on my finger and rubbed it in my lips and I could almost instantly feel it sink in. So overall, it's not as bad as what I was expecting.


I was intrigued by this as I've always wanted to try this brand but never have so it's nice to see this in there. The body wash smells fruity but it's also got something else in there which I like, the scent smells like it's something you would use in the evening time. So I'm excited to try this.


When I saw this advertised on Glossybox's website I just instantly knew that it would be from the Vintage Cosmetic Company and I wasn't wrong, booyah! I really love the pretty vintage floral pattern and it has sharp ends meaning it can get all of those pesky hairs.


Well wasn't that a mouthful! I haven't used it yet but I will when I need to de puff my eyes and it might even be a cheap alternative to Skyn ICELAND Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels.


As soon as I seen this it instantly reminded me of my secondary school years, when my friends and I would have have sleepovers and watch films, paint each others nails, give makeovers and all that jazz. So it'll be nice to put them on again and think of the memories.

First Impressions: Glossybox November

Hey guys, so today I thought I would share my first impressions of Glossybox this month. Inside the box you get 5 samples of either beauty, nails, hair, skincare or a fragrance. You also get a magazine and a little card saying what products you get and how much a full sized product is. It's £12.95 a month including post and packaging, you can check out more of their plans here.



When I saw this I instantly fell love with the colour as it's a pretty pastel bluey green and then a thought trailed through my head 'It's going to be sheer, too sheer maybe...', and then another thought went through my head 'it's a spring/summer colour not a winter colour'.. But nevertheless I'm excited to try it.


When I saw the black eye shadow I jumped up and down with joy as I've been pondering online at what black eye shadow I should get and then this bad boy came, so the dilemma was averted, it has such a butter soft texture and blends beautifully .


Vichy has never really been a brand I've delved into so it's nice to see three mini samples of their new serum and when my other one runs out I'll be excited to try it.


I've always wanted to try a nail spray so this was a good thing to have in the box. I think I've used it twice now and I'm not 100% sure that it works but I'll try it a couple more times and then give a proper review on it.


I've saved the best thing for last. This Yves Rocher hand cream is truly AMAZING. It smells lovely and it dries instantly and doesn't leave any oily residue that some hand creams do. This has been living in my handbag for the past week and I'm sure it will continue to live in there until I run out.
