December & January Glossyboxes
Friday, February 10, 2012Hey everyone,
I've recently subscribed to Glossybox and I've got a quick review of both the December and January boxes today for you guys.
Hope you guys enjoy :)
 |
| So the first items included in the Dec box were a deborah lippman nail polish in 'razzle dazzle' and a nail polish remover mit. i personally love deborah lippman polishes and this is no exception. It's a gorgeous black based polish with fushia glitter scattered throughout. I haven't tried the mitts yet but i'm sure they'll be good! |
 |
| The next item is a spot treatment from NIP FAB. I've only used this twice, and although it seems to work just fine, its nothing special to me. However, it's great to be able to try out new skin care and i'm sure that this may have wow-ed others. |
 |
| I've never been a big fan of lipgloss, so this was never going to be something I was excited to receive. However, I did get a really nice pink-nude colour with a subtle sparkle, so that was nice. What really excites me about this product is its size, its just perfect to slip in your purse for a shopping trip or a night on the town. Travel size, some would call it :) |
 |
| This was one of the products I was most looking forward to, especially when I saw flavours containing mandarin and cherry blossom. Unfortunately, I received this one, eucalyptus and rosemary. It's not a bad as I thought it would smell, it actually smelly quite herbal and tea-like, but it's not quite what I wanted. I do however love foaming products, but for now I'll be sticking to my Foamburst products. |
I was also really excited for this product. The colours in it are really nice but i don't really like the packaging. However, it it perfect for travelling back and forth from uni.
So overall, the December box was pretty good. I didn't dislike any product, but only 1 really wow-ed me and the rest are decent. However, it really does depend on what you want out of it and what your personal needs are.
Now let's get onto the January box!
 |
| This is one product that I don't know exactly what t do with. Honestly i'm still trying to work this one out so I can't really give a review. Nice though to receive something that I've never heard of before! |
 |
| Once again, the size of products given in glossyboxes are what often makes them great. As many of you probably know, I travel quite often back and forth from uni so smaller sized products are a winner for me. I love the smell of this and it actually does work well for dry skin. However, I don't NEED it in my collection, but it was great to try out! |
 |
Pretty colour, great travel friendly sized bottle (who uses up a whole bottle of nail varnish these days any way?!) and a great formula. An all round winner for me :)
|
 |
| This was quite an exciting product to receive as I've heard many great things about primers. It wasn't initially as I expected it to be as it came out a sort of grey tone - much like a bb cream. However, it works really well as a primer, even for dry skin. It still doesn't quite live up to my laura mercier primer but it is still a great product. |
Well I hope you guys found this interesting and stay tuned for next months box!
