Lifting The Lid: Glossybox June Edition...

Hello my lovelies, I'm baaaaack!

I had an amazing time in Turkey & have a post planned with lots of photos etc but I wanted to get this post up first =]

When I arrived home from Gatwick yesterday my Glossybox was sat on my bed waiting for me, I couldn't wait to rip the box open & see what I'd received!

As you can see we're back to the normal pale pink box & this month the box is themed around Summer. 

Here is what I received...

As you can see I received site quite an away of different products. Here is a closer look at what I received:

Vichy Dermablend:

'Vichy's expert camouflage foundation stick for minor to severe skin flaws.'

I was really excited when I saw this, it's a really good size for a sample product and I can't wait to try it out. 

Glossybox Pro Beauty Brush:

'This classic series natural goat hair blush brush gives a super soft make up application.'

I haven't used this brush yet so I should probably hold judgement but I don't think I'll be getting much use out of this brush. The brush feels really scratchy and the brush shedded when I removed it from the packaging. Not impressed!

Caudalie Eaux Fraiches:

'Refresh your senses with these invigorating and energising fragrances.' 

I wasn't too impressed when I saw yet another perfume sample but this is actually a very good size for a perfume sample at 10ml. The fragrance isn't something I'd normally choose as it leans heavily towards the floral side but I'm sure I'll use it sometime!

MeMeMe Sensuous Nail Gloss:

 'A 5ml high shine nail gloss in this season's key catwalk peach shade.'

I've never tried anything from the MeMeMe brand before and I'm a big fan of a nude/peach nail colour so I'm looking forward to giving this a go.

BM Beauty Summer Warmth Bronzer:

'Multi purpose pure mineral bronzer. Add a touch of summer warmth to your face.'

I'm not too sure about this product, it's far too shimmery to use as a bronzer and the size of the pot is far too small to dip a face brush into. The colour itself is lovely so I'll probably end up using this as an eyeshadow.

Overall this box was ok but it certainly wasn't one of my favourites. I like the Vichy Dermablend sample and look forward to trying the nail polish out but everything else is a little meh. I'm super jealous of anyone who received the Dermalogica sample set! 

What did you think of your Glossybox this month?

Glossybox February 2012: The Fashion Week Edition...

Good evening my beauts! Hope you are all well =]

I'm writing this whilst stuffing my face with pancakes and watching The Brits, perfect evening! 

Is it just me that feels like I only received my previous Glossybox a couple of days ago?! Seems odd to have another so soon! I thought I'd show you what I received this month...

As you can see the box is back to being the normal glossybox, I personally think they should have a different colour or theme for every month!

EEEEEP! This card excites me, alot! I can't wait check out Glossybox on Friday! I wonder what it could be?!

Contents & Thoughts:

♥ Dr Bronzer Magic Liquid Soap: 'A combination of organic extra virgin coconut, olive, jojoba and hemp oils, together with pure essential oils.'  Am I the only person who is completely confused with this product, I actually don't know what I'm supposed to use it for! The instructions make no sense to me. If you know what this is for please let me know in the comments!

♥ Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Relaxing Balm 'Intense hydrating treatment for your hair'  This was the product that I was probably most excited about in this box, I have never tried a Paul Mitchell product before and I have always been keen to. I've been researching it on the internet and it appears you should use it on damp hair before drying your hair, I can't wait to try it out.

♥ Como Shambhala Invigorate Body Lotion: 'A revitalising blend of essential oils that puts you in a perfectly uplifted mood' Surprise surprise another body lotion. This really didn't excite me at all, I already have far too many body lotions and I really don't like the smell of this. Thumbs down!

♥ BM Beauty Pure Mineral Eyeshadow: 'Award winning pure mineral eyeshadow' I've never really dabbled in mineral eyeshadows so this is a welcome addition to my makeup collection. I was glad I didn't receive the pink shade as I would never have used it but the grey shade that I received looks slightly more interesting.

♥ DUWOP Venom Gloss: 'Combining subtle tinited lipgloss with DuWop's Lip Venom to create Venom Gloss' One girl can never have enough lipgloss & I'd heard of Lip Venom before so this was a welcome surprise. I tried it for the first time earlier today & I love the smell! It really made my lips tingle & I'm not sure if I really liked this, I'll give it another go and see how I get on with it.

Overall I really wasn't impressed with this box at all. Nothing in the box made me think 'WOW' and I was quite disappointed when I opened it. I'm so tempted to cancel my subscription but I know the month I do something amazing will be in the box!

What were your thoughts on this months box?
