June Glossybox ’17

So June’s Glossybox arrived a week or so ago and once again I’m not very impressed. That’s three duds in a row now and I have a ‘three strikes you’re out’ policy with these things so I’ve cancelled my subscription and July will be the last box.
That being said I realised I may as well explain to others what the issues are with some of these products rather than just get cross and refuse to even blog them. So without further ado, the June Glossybox…

Limited Edition: La Mer Glossybox

La Mer glossybox contents Feb '17

When I saw that Glossybox were collaborating with La Mer for a one off box I set the reminder in my calendar straight away! I’ve always wondered at the type of people who can spend £330 on 100ml of face cream.
For that kind of money surely they must have amazing skin?
I wanted to buy this box as an experiment to see if spending the big bucks really will give you amazing skin.
That’s why I’ve waited a week to post my review; I had to use the products for a while and give them a chance to work. Read on for my scientific opinion…

February Glossybox ’17

Glossybox February '17

I was quite annoyed with the people over at Glossybox last month so I had my fingers crossed for a great box this month and I think they’ve delivered the goods. No real theme to this month’s collection of products but that is a gorgeous Valentines box which will be going on the ‘keep’ pile.

I always like to wait until I’ve tested every product before writing up my review and I’ve finally given everything a go so let’s get into it shall we?

Box of Dreams 2 (Caroline Hirons & Cult Beauty)

A few weeks ago I saw that there would be a new Box of Dreams from Caroline Hirons with Cult beauty for Christmas, “Oh I’ll just sign up to the email list and wait and see what the products are” I thought. Dangerous move. As soon as the email came out I couldn’t resist and before I knew it I had entered all my details and received my confirmation.
I don’t regret it for a second though. For starters, buying the box is a 48% saving on buying the items individually, and what a gorgeous box to arrive all for me just before Christmas!

Limited Edition: Wendy Rowe for Glossybox

Limited Edition: Wendy Row for Glossybox

Hi everyone, after a pretty disappointing Glossybox this month I needed something to perk me up and oh look (!) a limited edition Glossybox, designed by Wendy Rowe that just happened to fall through the post box.
This was £35 as I’m a glossy box subscriber (it’s £40 if you’re not) and the value of the box is over £138 so I was expecting great things.
