My First GlossyBox


Hello! 

I am soooo excited! On Wednesday I received my first Glossy Box and I love it, for those of you who don't know what Glossy Box is, it is a monthly subscription service where you receive 5 beauty products a month for just £12.95. This genius idea means that you can try out all the products and then decide if they are something that you would re-purchase. There are several different companies on the market such as Glossy Box, Birch Box and Latest in Beauty (Box will be back soon). I chose Glossy Box first as I have read and watched loads of reviews that say these are fabulous. This box did not disappoint, it contained 3 full size products and 2 miniature products. The full sized ones were and Yves Rocher Chocolate and Raspberry hand cream, Elegant Touch Fast drying nail spray and an Emite Eyeshadow in Nect. 
Having tried the hand cream I am impressed, even though it says this product is only worth £1.45 it smells almost good enough to eat! I have bought loads of hand creams recently including the Palmer Cocoa hand cream which almost smells as good. The only negative thing about this cream would be the fact that it is quite thin and leaves a residue on the hands for a while. 
I havent yet tried the nail varnish drying spray as I currently have Shellac/Gelish nails but I assume that it will work as I have used it previously at a friends house before a night out and it was great! 
The eyeshadow is a gorgeous pale cream shimmer that would be great as a base or a highlighter under the brows or on the top of the cheeks. This eyeshadow is worth £16.50 which is more than the whole box so that is amazing value. 
The two minature products were Vichy Life Serum (3 little bottles) with the full sized ones costing £29.90 and a Face Oil from Agese. I have only tried the Vichy Face Serum and it felt very silky on the skin however I was REALLY disappointed with the amount of product in the tube, there wasn't even enough to cover my whole face!






























Overall a very lovely box! I cant wait to try out he products that I haven't already and will definitely keep my subscription. Next box I am going to try will be the Birchbox as that looks like it has very good make-up products this month!

Lots of Love
